Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.”

Speaking with Full Measure’s Sharyl Attkisson, Trump argued that the United States—which was founded by and has historically been a nation of immigrants—shouldn’t be a “dumping ground” for newcomers.

One more fucking time for the Rubepublicans in the back:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

That is on the door step of our nation. This is who we should be, and the only way to build a stronger America for a stronger mankind.

Term and conditions were appended in 2019

“Give me your tired, your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge,” Immigration Director Ken Cuccinelli said Tuesday morning during an interview with NPR.

When asked what he thinks America stands for, Cuccinelli said that the poem was referencing immigrants coming from Europe.

"Of course that poem was referring to people coming from Europe where they had class-based societies, people were considered wretched if they weren't in the right class"

What an ass. It wasn't the high class Europeans that were coming here to get a fresh start.

There was a Facebook meme of the Statue of Liberty helping build Trump's wall. I was just like, have you fucking idiots never heard of Emma Lazarus?

[–] Death_Equity 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The illegals can't see what is on the welcome mat because they are hopping the fence in the backyard to eat our pets, rape our women, and hide the remote.

Republican response probably.

[–] CharlesDarwin 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hide the remote! That's over the line.

And if they won't take that American belief than how about the Christian beliefs? Proverbs 19:17, Leviticus 19:33-34

[–] pyre 9 points 1 month ago

hahaha Christian beliefs... hilarious. republicans are the last people who give a shit about the bible.

[–] MegaUltraChicken 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't wait for "ear tags" to be suggested.

[–] Death_Equity 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The big plastic tags they use for livestock.

This has reached the point where it feels wrong to be joking with it. It's like he's not ever trying to hide it

Naw just tattoos on their arms. Why mess with the classics.

/s /s just in case some numpty thinks this is a good idea

[–] norimee 82 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I know! Tattoo them on their forearms and maybe they could wear some kind of sign on their clothing. Wouldn't that be neat.

[–] pachrist 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe a little, gold sombrero on an armband.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Hey hey hey let's not just assume they're all Mexican! Let's just make a brown smiley face patch so we can include everyone they'll be deporting.

They say history repeats itself, but I thought we were kinda over the holocaust thing for a few more centuries.

[–] billiam0202 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, there's a war in Europe, we had a global pandemic, and fascism is on the rise, so we're just doing an early 20th century rerun.

Of course, history doesn't exactly rhyme, which is why Israel is the one doing the holocausting this time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

You would think they, of all people would know better.

[–] Death_Equity 20 points 1 month ago (4 children)

You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.

His running mate also mentioned he doesn't care if they're legal or not

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is why you study history. Next theyre gonna say they want to deport the immigrants to madagascar...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Then they have a conference where they figure out a Endlösung for the Migrantenfrage (the Nazis discussed three major options: simply deporting them, creating an own state for them somewhere in Africa, and killing them all)

Trump and many of his supporters are bigots: it's that simple.

I swear he's just playing into the Christians belief in an antichrist so he gets their support in destroying the world and bringing back white Jesus with the cum gutter abs

At work, an old guy was telling me a bunch of really important bits so I started taking notes on my hand because I forgot my notebook. He immediately stopped and said to never do that to my skin. I forgot his actual words but it wasn't a religious tone at all. It turns out his parents had been in concentration camps.

[–] CharlesDarwin 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh, I did NOT SEE that coming.

Misleading headline. He said they know their serial numbers. Which means they already have them. Which is worse.

Headline is misleading. Based on his statements, Trump thinks they already have serial numbers.

[–] norimee 9 points 1 month ago

Doesn't really make it better...

Fox News for the next month if Harris said anything close to this:

They always seem to forget that every white person in the U.S. has immigrants in their family history.

[–] norimee 8 points 1 month ago

Oh, but you said it already. WHITE is the defining difference here. Thats the "Herrenrasse" and brown is "Untermensch".

Every good Nazi knows that.

It has been a dumping ground for immigrants for a long time. The British used to send their convicts, that didn’t make the cut for hanging but they surely didn’t want in “their” country, here to be slaves.

Not many people know that between 1718 and 1775 over 52,000 convicts were transported from the British Isles to America, mainly to Maryland and Virginia, to be sold as slaves to the highest bidder. —The History Press

I wonder where he got that genius idea? What a waste of carbon.

[–] ThePantser 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he is elected it will immediately kick off WW3 and we won't be on the good side this time. Where are the time travelers to kill Hitler 2?
