Trump imposes tariffs, sanctions on Colombia after it refuses deportation flights

[initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

This person's outright sadistic blindness or trolling aside, anyone reading this comment with good faith and not immediately having an aneurysm should remember that the once and current president once said, and I quote:

I like taking guns away early. Take the guns first, go through due process second.

Persons, groups of people, governments, territories, borders, citizens, immigrants. I'm pretty sure Nazi Germany had every one of these and now that Trump is president, I'm supposed to believe that we have all of these coincidentally? Next stop: Auschwitz.

They want to use military planes because they can hide the cost of this program in the "whoops it's too big to audit" defense budget. The cost of civilian contractors would be publically disclosed.

If you're into blaming your troubles on poor people and punishing them for it then it's a good deal I guess.

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

Link to the quote? I'd like to look into that more.

I wish the lunatics voters that support this would realize how expensive each of these flights are, at tax payers expense!

I see that the US finally got a taste of the Rwanda plan.

Denial of citizenship is something every county does. Is every country on the verge of nazi-ism?

[tankovayadiviziya@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I believe this is what goes on in the minds of many people. They are single issue voters.

Even if you could prove that those people aren't here legally, Trump is changing the laws. He wants to end Birth Right citizenship.

does it really sound unlike any of the other authoritarian shit he says? here, i operated the search engine for you: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-take-firearms-first/

[funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works]

just Google it, it was a big news story at the time

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

He wants to end anchor babies and birth tourism.

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

In your own damn link it says he was talking about those who are "red flagged", or is alerted to authorities as someone who might do something. You know, like when someone posts a manifesto online, he was saying they should be able to confiscate their gun and then have the court process.

He certainly wasn't saying he wants to disarm regular citizens.

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

The link that was posted gave context. He wasn't trying to disarm the population, he was talking about confiscating a firearm from someone who's been flagged as about to harm themselves or others.

[oozynozh@lemm.ee]

well, you clearly demonstrated your reading comprehension on the Snopes article... perhaps you should exercise that same skill on my comment because nowhere did i mention any of that nonsense you replied with.

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

Just for brown people.

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

For anyone who does it. You think birth tourism is only done by brown people??

[oceansoap@lemmy.ml]

Right, you didn't give any context to the quote and tried to insinuate he wanted to disarm the population.

[prettyflyforafatguy@feddit.uk]

He's doing it through the courts. declaring birthright citizenship unconstitutional doesn't just affect future claims, it also affect past claims

[duamerthrax@lemmy.world]

I think Trump has a long history of racism and it will either bake it into law that Europeans get preferred treatment or it will be selectively enforced.
