Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.

I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I'll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.

It’s handy when the trash takes itself out, isn’t it.

It would've been, but I don't know why you're saying that now because it clearly didn't. We decided to fucking wallow in it instead.

It doesn’t work like that.

If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.

On top of them just sounding like a total psycho. It’s interesting watching liberals become what they hate so quickly lol

The Haitians were here legally and he campaigned on kicking them out. And if you think the supreme court is about to defend any monitory's rights you haven't been paying attention. He's gone on record saying it's okay if they screw up a few times deporting people

Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that ICE can’t deport citizens.

Our newly Republican controlled Congress, however, can legislate denaturalization.

Laws only matter where there's a will and power to enforce them. This supreme court has made it clear the president can break laws if its an "official" order. I don't think it's likely but it's absolutely possible. Europe didn't see WW2 coming and plenty of Jews were German citizens. None of this is even unprecedented

Sadly that didn't affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.
