Remember when all the MAGA trolls were trying to tell us how bad gEnOciDe Joe was, and that we couldn’t know what Trump would do but it couldn’t be worse?

I remember.

Deport... where, exactly?

For example, take a college aged middle class white girl who protests genocide, her home town being a suburb in California.

Does she get sent to get parents house in Orange County and forced to be grounded like a child? Or does she get sent to a random country on the globe? Or is he thinking to send them to... Gaza?

None of this makes any sense, lol

Remember that turnip has passed the straw men point, and is now trying to make shit stick to shit. However, his shit is so full of shit that the existing shit won't have it. The turnip is just a shitfilled shitbag that others shits are willing to distance themselves from. It's kind of amazing how fast a shit can fall.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

This guy is full of shit.

Deport American Jews? To where?

Yet another reason why Trump's whole "mass-deportation plan" is extremely concerning

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 4 weeks ago

All these radicals everywhere, right.

"I love the first amendment! That's why I'm crushing their free speech so we can make room for YOUR speech. The only Correct™ speech of course."

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Oh look. Something else that Trump and pro-genocide centrists agree on.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

If the government is paying I'll consider a move. Maybe we'll see eye to eye. Payment up front Orange boy.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

If you think BOMBING SCHOOLS is BAD then you get DEPORTED you PRO HAMAS RADICAL!

The supreme court made reference to the Gaza protests in their ruling making it illegal for homeless people to be homeless.

I am all for your cause and am 100 against Isreal and their genocidal behavior. At the same time we are under attack here at home and if we lose the fight, that is the 2024 election, there won't be a Gaza to argue about. Please understand!

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Are you advocating a Trump vote or am I misinterpreting?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

How would I be advocating a trump vote? The GOP lead supreme court made it illegal for homeless people to sleep in public spaces. The supreme court referenced Gaza protestors sleeping in public spaces as another party whos rights they are willing to violate with their cruel 6-3 ruling.

I am against what isreal is doing. If we lose this election the GOP has made it clear they would escalate things in the region. Fighting the GOP right now comes before everything else.

If it's not clear. Trump is the GOPs candidate.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Uber-liberal Gavin Newsom of California, is immediately leveraging that supreme court ruling to threaten state funding for any city or county that doesn't clear homeless camps.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

All made possible by a GOP lead supreme court. Which is the direct result of poor voter turn out in 2016.

If you don't want the country to move further right you have to first vote left.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been voting left since 1996.

Oh, then my job here is done.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world -4 points 4 weeks ago

Someone should tell the Stein-lovin' so-called "leftists" this news.
