No One is Safe

It's a case of an idea smacking up against reality. During the campaigns last year, Shitler promised to secure the border and deport the "illegals". The MAGAts cheered because - well, they're hateful idiots, but - they thought that meant getting rid of the "criminals" and those freeloaders getting all that welfare and food stamps. Never mind that they don't get that, that they do the jobs American citizens don't want to, that they pay into our tax base.
What's happened though, is an overzealous ICE - pushed by neo-Nazi Stephen Miller - have been deporting "the good ones" too, including spouses of American citizens, those who joined our armed forces, and those hardworking individuals that are loved by their employers and neighbors.
Needless to say, this has upset a LOT of people, many of whom made the mistake of voting for Der Orange Fuhrer. This has (not surprisingly) tanked his approval ratings:
Yeah, that's pretty bad. Of course, like the proverbial camel getting it's nose in the tent, he sees this as an opportunity to push it further and use ICE as his gestapo for vengeance upon his enemies. Yes, he's floated the idea of deporting American citizens, and it's going over about as well you'd expect:
The article goes on to quote numerous reactions to this notion. How could he legally do it? He's already halfway there with the SCOTUS rulings. Another way he can try to purge the country of his enemies is by "denaturalization":
r-i-g-h-t...
If this regime thinks that deporting citizens (either native-born or legally naturalized) is going to make him more popular, he's completely delusional... although that does seem to be the case anyway. One has to wonder how far he needs to go before the Republicans grow a spine and push back?

As mass deportation raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continue to spark protest and split public sentiment, President Trump’s approval rating has slipped to a new low in the latest Yahoo/YouGov poll.
A survey of 1,597 U.S. adults, which was conducted from June 26 to June 30, finds that just 40% now approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, down from 44% in March. Meanwhile, a full 56% of Americans — up from 50% in March — currently disapprove of Trump’s performance. That’s a net swing of 10 percentage points away from the president over the last three months.
[...]
Immigration has long been an area of relative strength for Trump. Before last November’s election, 48% of Americans predicted he would do a better job on the issue than former Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival; just 36% thought Harris would do better.
[...]
Overall, a majority of Americans (51%) now think Trump has gone too far in "arresting and deporting immigrants" — a number that’s ticked up 4 points since April. Fewer say his approach has been about right (26%) or that he hasn’t gone far enough (15%). A full 55% of independents think Trump has gone too far.

Now, President Trump seems to have expanded his idea of who is eligible to be rounded up and deported to include a much larger group of people that may very well include you: US citizens.
He's had several big legal wins that open the door for this, including the Supreme Court paving the way to remove birthright citizenship for children born to immigrants and continuing to allow people to be deported to countries they were not born in.
"... we also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time. People that whack people over the head with a baseball bat from behind when they're not looking and kill them. People that knife you when you're walking down the street," he goes on.
"They're not new to our country, they're old to our country. Many of them were born in our country. I think we oughta get them the hell outta here, too, if you wanna know the truth," Trump says.
The article goes on to quote numerous reactions to this notion. How could he legally do it? He's already halfway there with the SCOTUS rulings. Another way he can try to purge the country of his enemies is by "denaturalization":
The Trump administration opened the door on Monday to formally examining Zohran Mamdani’s US citizenship — part of a growing effort to target the immigration status of a wide range of individuals.
Democrats rallied behind the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor over the weekend, after Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles urged the Trump administration to consider revoking Mamdani’s citizenship. That intraparty support for Mamdani, who has been a naturalized citizen since 2018, grew after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the idea and didn’t say no.
“I have not seen those claims, but surely if they are true, it’s something that should be investigated,” Leavitt told reporters on Monday, referring to Ogles’ claim that the Uganda-born Mamdani might have concealed his support for “terrorism” in his application for citizenship.

Hello, bloggers!!!!
If it is darkest before the dawn, I have to ask how far off is dawn and have we reached the greatest extent of the darkness.
The Republican Party may not grow a spine. They are afraid of their leader and whether their fear of the voters is greater has yet to be seen.

I am really glad to be mostly off the grid this week.
Totally in my sweet spot here. End of our training and working on the staff banquet.
