    Turns out this whole thing is Trumps desperate attempt to get rid of his wife.

    Stop wasting our time with these articles. They’re deporting people because of white supremacy, not because they suddenly really care about immigration law which they are ignoring by black bagging people anyways.

      Agreed. What point was she even trying to make? Hypocrisy? I swear to God liberals are more helpful to fascism than conservatives are at this point. Their “opposition” is so weak it has to be in bad faith.

      Fascist don’t give a fuck about a liberals perception of hypocrisy. It’s like trying to debate lord your way out of a Nazi death camp just waiting for the fascist to concede to your “superior argument”.

      The “debate lord” days are over. Fascist ideas won out. We need real material planning not these one liners. Even the right wing debate lords are dying out. No one wants to see Jordan Peterson “DESTROY a Liberal” anymore. Not even right wingers. They are much to happy watching Asmondgold cheer for deporting immigrants and bombing brown kids. The era of the “dumb guy” saying “well that’s just common sense” is upon us.

      They are done listening to anything liberals have to say. They are far too distracted by enjoying watching “justice” happen to the people that the Democrats ALSO alienated the last election.

      This is what no dialects does to liberals. They have no feedback between ideas and material conditions to even recognize the shift. They are still fighting like it’s 2008. We’ll decline further into fascism as they pretend like they are resisting it.

      They had a chance to go a different route with Bernie and they completely blocked it. So now it’s too late. Even too late to take Bernie’s route.

    I get the impression that Melania would be fine with that - that she’d take any excuse to be as far as possible away from that stinky lump of congealed fat and bronzer.

      She’s had 8 years to leave. She’s just as bad as he is. Remember her wearing a jacket with “I really don’t care” in giant letters ~6 years ago when Trump was separating children from their parents and then losing the children?

        Nobody’s as bad as he is, but she’s certainly an awful human.

        But that’s not really relevant. It’s just that from what I’ve seen, she tries to stay as far away from him as possible - preferably in another state. So I assume being given an excuse to be in a different coutry would be okay by her.

        If you look at it, she’s deeply in hate with him. I could see her staying just to torture him.

      • I’m not so sure about this. As someone who’s known several women in divorce, I can say that man like him have ways of trapping their victims. She may seem powerful but that’s nothing compared to the man who effectively controls every branch of government. Just because someone is married doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy that it’s their situation

    Don’t threaten, do. Ice, prove you’re impartial. Forcibly remove the first lady from the united states. And her anchor babies

    Melania Trump, like Musk, seems to have worked in the US prior to having authorization. That does mean she could be stripped of her citizenship.

    But Waters seems very confused, as Melania Trump was not born in the US. Looking at her parents’ document status has nothing to do with her citizenship.

      Since Trump is trying to end birthright citizenship, her parents citizenship status actually would matter.

        Melania Trump was not born in the US. Her birthright citizenship can’t be taken away because she never had it.

        Her parents became citizens after she did.

          Yes. That’s what I’m saying. The fact that her parents aren’t citizens WOULD matter if she were to lose the naturalized status she currently holds, due to her previously working in the US without the proper visa.
