I truly think the Trump administration is going to try something like this. I really do.

They probably will and I would bet that if they can't prove any wrong doing on his application that they will invent something. Those maggot repuglicans are just that dirty, they always have been

So, to cut to the chase, they don't believe in democracy, not just in other countries, but even at home. OK, gerrymandered voting distribution is already evidence of that, but when the highest voter turnout in more than 50 years delivers over 50% of the vote to one candidate, and they then want to deport that person on some kind of made up, retrospective framing of the law, they can't even pretend any more.

Good summary Marianne. Painful, but accurate.

The sooner Trump outrages a majority the better. Trying to deport Mandani may be just the thing that puts outrage over the top.

I kind of agree. The more repressive they are, the more resistance there will be. If they try to deport him, we'll see what happens next.

The outrage is already the majority, who unfortunately believe their 7745 cell phone copies of the same fuckin atrocity, means they're doing something.

NEWS FLASH: YOU'RE NOT!

Unless your willing to wade in and fight for your beliefs, and Yes, possibly die for them while defending those around you; you're not doing shit.

Think that's unfair? Extreme? As a veteran, I knew my brethren had my back. Would step up and fill the void, were I to fall.

Average Americans must embrace that same mindset in order to preserve democracy and the Republic. You're either willing to give your life to preserve your freedoms or accept living (if one can call it that) on your knees with the bootheels of tyranny on your necks.

This now somewhat, ancient veteran never has, nor ever will abnegate his oaths. They are lifelong. If/When again called upon, I will once again, defend the Constitution and EVERYTHING it stands for, from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, to my last breath.

The hypocrisy of the so called responsible citizens that would dare try to deport the elected mayor of an American city is disgraceful, disgusting and shameful, it makes me very angry. Bannon and those congressmen of his kilt are nothing but cult members, they are following their leader, The SB POS POTUS of America.

There is a flaw in your thinking: there are no credible, respectable Republicans. None. Nada. Zippo. Bupkis. Zilch. The null set.

People are so scared!!! This fear they lead with is so dangerous, yet from the right viewpoint, downright laughable. Also, if Islamophobes knew what they could gain from dropping the hate and constant terrorist narrative, they’ve had done it yesterday. Spend time with Muslims and see for yourself!!!

I think I will practice saying β€œyour racism is showing” to people who make comments about deporting Mamdani.

In the second-whitest state in the country, it’s not hard to find racists who deny their racism.

Deport him WITH Melania and her Russian family, Barron, and of course release the Epstein files. Hate to point out Trump violated his own rules once again.

Thank you so much for this writing and for sharing the Laws on stripping away Citizenship from a Naturalized American Citizen!

Now my thoughts on the Republicans: Ever since Newt Gingrich, Republican’s have been BULLYING Democrats!

Newt is the ONE who started calling Democrats communists, Marxist, Socialist and any other name that brought the Thought of Fear to their Voter’s minds!

And the worst thing the Democrats did was they let That Bully get the upper hand!

They did NOT stand up to that Bully & when the rest of the Republican’s started using the words that Newt was using, and again the Democrat’s did not push back!

And those of Us that have pushed the Democrats to stand against the Lies the Republicans tell EVERY DAY remember that time of Newt Gingrich!

We remember just how weak those Democrats were. They didn’t stand against the Republicans and that’s how we got the policies that hurt Every Middle Class to Poor Family & lost good paying jobs for Hard Working Americans.

WE REFUSE to be weak to the Republican’s lies and Bullying ANY MORE!

And those Democrat’s in politics that ARE, will be removed.

Another problem with Republican’s is they learned to Rule by Fear under Newt Gingrich.

And they’ve kept it up, until they seen a Defect in their Armor with Barack Obama!

After They saw the Power that Obama held over most of Americans, even stronger than the hold that Reagan had, Republican’s knew that They needed to bring out even bigger guns, and what was their plan? To question Obama’s birth and Citizenship!

They tried to pin Muslim on him, but that didn’t stick.

There was too many photo’s of a younger Obama being high, wearing definite American clothing, and protesting against those WHO made bad policies!

But a birth certificate, that was so different from most States birth certificates, now THAT put doubt in many American’s minds.

Then to get Trump, a popular TV reality show actor, to be the first to question Obama’s birth & claim he wasn’t an American born Citizen, now THAT was genius!

Especially when all of America KNEW Trump is a Racist! And WHO better to put doubt in American’s minds but a Man, who along with his Dad, was known to refuse to rent to Black people in New York!

What I believe is the Republicans have been playing a long game of taking over America.

They’ve made sure to get the People in their circle that are as racist, greedy, & power hungry as they are.

They’ve made sure to brainwash their Voters and do things that appeal to those American’s who have felt left behind, looked over, and down trodden, even though They are the Ones who did it all to their own Voters!

The Republicans have made sure to have a Racist undertone running through their Party since the Civil Rights movement of the 60’s. Keeping that racism in check but just under the surface so it could be easily inserted & used to affect their Voters.

The Republicans picked Trump and with the help of Putin, Trump picked the Republicans.

They will do every thing in their power to destroy the New Mayor of New York City, and if Democrats don’t stand with him, they’ll probably succeed!

And the next word they’ll add to their list for Democrats will be jihadist!

They’re already laying the ground work for it by telling American’s that Democrats are Muslim sympathizers!

Is ZM really Muslim? There's a lot of sources stating his mother and grandmother are actually jewish. If that's the case, ZM is just another psyop foisted upon the public to sow more division and just like 9/11, it wasn't 19 hijacker's with box cutters but a small "country" formed in 1948, that is behind this latest coup.

Unfortunately the Christian Fascists on the Criminal Roberts SCOTUS could have the last word and that would not go well for Mamdani.

WTF? No, more of same. We must be ready for things to be more vicious and chaotic now that Trumpers had a good look at how we feel about post January 2025 atrocities. Pray for tariff reversal decision?
