Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations

Hey, anybody remember 12ish years ago when Alex Jones' worst fear was that Obama was going to use executive power to order the military to be deployed on American soil, violating Posse Comitatus, to massively round up and inter a bunch of Americans in FEMA reducation / death camps?

Anyone?

No one?

Whoo boy, growing up in a fundamentalist Christian household where I was the only one to go to college and everyone else became a Q Anon zombie sure was fuuuunnnnn!

Drive through rural America and see how many underpopulated small towns there are. Shuttered businesses for lack of customers. Abandoned buildings. These places need people.

We tried this before and it sucked then, too.

Yeah, we definitely need less people in this country. I’m sure it’ll help fill all the job vacancies and increase productivity and GDP.

I will make sure to bring this up when any republicans complain that are so many vacancies because no one wants to work anymore.

Undocumented Immigrants Contribute Nearly $100 Billion in Taxes a Year

If he actually succeeds in doing this, guess who’s going to be made to fill in that hole.

When again are americans using their right to bear arms to protect themselves against an authoritarian government? If you dont do it now never again use this argument for the second amendment.

How are people going to be selected for deportation? This feels eerily like what Hitler started doing with Jews.

Wrong community. This dystopia is about get real interesting, real fast 😬

You can't beat Trump's brand of fascism with spineless morally flexible subservient people. People are going to have to fight back do what they can. Dems are already rolling over in advance and some are going to fight with what resources they have. It is going to be rough.

Time to get used to hunger

Nothing cheaper than using the military, no siree. What's the going rate for toilet seats at the Pentagon these days?

This move actually makes zero fucking sense. Having people in our country who are willing to work less money than the average citizen labor costs are low. That basically means more money for him and his oligarch buddies.

He's already won the election. He doesn't have to keep posturing like this. And he's not going to be elected again, so either he (hopefully) has no third term, or he'll prevent the 2028 elections from being free and fair.

My prediction is that nothing will actually come of this and he's saying this to keep his approval rating high.

Either that or he's even more racist than he is greedy and self-centered

Don’t forget to put all the books in a pile and set fire to them. And smash their shop windows.

where are those loud mouthed lefties bemoaning, "both parties are the same!"?

cmon folks, don't get mad this is what you wanted when you gave up your right to vote.

we're just getting started on the find out part! stick around, it's gonna be a doozy!

🤡

edit: I just want to thank all the trolls for coming out. my blocked list has never been so full.

Nice, by the book. The fascist admin guide as seen in most of Europe, recently

Trump thinks that the best way to avoid the last of the NY state trial is to create chaos and violence until we cry uncle.

This dystopia is starting to heat up 😬

There are dark days ahead.

Gee, I wonder what the solution will be if other countries wont take our undesirables.

I love "subtle racism".

I'm third generation, but I'd like to be deported, please. Where do i sign up?

Please deport me harder orange man.

To declare a "National Emergency", he probably needs a cause. How does American law deal with those "National Emergency" situations? Does he need some proof? Does he need confirmation from somewhere?

Genocide Joe continued Trump's attacks on refugees, so now Trump feels like he has to go even harder.

He’s not going to succeed at his goals unless he essentially suspends the constitution. Which I wouldn’t put past him necessarily but for now these headlines are pretty sensational.

Everybody is protected by the fifth amendment regardless of citizenship status or if they are here “legally” or not. We’re all entitled to due process and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure so long as we’re standing on American soil. Running after families just minding their business and demanding papers please is far fetched. Going after already established criminals however is a lot easier and low hanging fruit. And I’m not talking about people who’s only crime is being here illegally, I’m talking about people who are that + another crime. And sorry but I don’t feel sympathy for those people who make life harder for everyone else…

Even if they do go after everyone they don’t have the infrastructure in place to process people. The highest deportations happened under Obama (take that, hysterical pissing in their pants liberals) at 230k a year and the system was barely functioning and is further backlogged now than ever. How the fuck is trump gonna manage to deport a million a year?

He’s full of hot air. Hell deport criminals and claim a win.

Well at least we're getting close to a somewhat interesting dystopia. /s

Will he deport Elon?

Damn that sucks :(

Happy to have them here in Australia.

Honestly, most of my friends are recent immigrants. They seem more normal

It's more efficient to just concentrate them in camps and gas them.

Dear, dear. What has the world come to?

So he's gonna do what Biden shouldve done about the fucking MAGAts. It's our patriotic duty to kill every goddamn one of those Nazi pieces of shit and yes that means your trump-loving mother

Are they calling this the final solution? /s
