Can we strip people with, say, 34 felonies of their citizenship and deport them to an arbitrary country?

Just watch the segment. He's asked 3 times if he condemns the phrase which many consider to be a call to violence and 3 times he levies condemnation toward the sentiment. While he doesn't say "yes, I condemn 'globalize the intifada,'" he said it's not appropriate to police speech, he'll lead by example, he's listening to the people of NY when drafting policies such as his significant increase in funding for anti-hate crime funding, and that his policies and the language he uses need to reflect respect for all people.

I'd argue his actual response is a much more appropriate condemnation than just saying "yes" and moving on.

Ah the Covid approach to hurricanes. If you stop looking for them they cease to exist.

It's only trinitite if it's from the Trinity test site. Otherwise it's just sparkling melt glass.

Also no one around today really came from the Confederacy. It's not anyone's heritage. It was around 160 years ago and lasted less time than Obama's presidency. Anyone claiming it today is just using it as a crutch for their hatred and bigotry.

Republicans keep killing kids :(

Idgaf. There's already ways to see all my fucking comments, go ahead and run your precious heuristics on my vocabulary.

The only way I saw its use on Reddit was to see if someone used the n word. That seems like a waste of computational resources on a platform ultimately erected by volunteers.

What if I don't consume ice?

He doesn't need an excuse.

How do you propose blue states "withhold federal taxes?" I pay my federal taxes to the fed directly, not through my state. Do states have mechanisms to prevent their citizens and businesses from doing the same?

I'm not sending anyone to do anything. I'm just pointing out that if a military is gathering at your city that's a clear sign of you being invaded, and that asking them nicely to stop will accomplish nothing. In this case the first military to show up in the city is the US military, not a foreign one, but that's not a difference worthy of distinction.

Feel free to stop paying your taxes if you want, but no rights were ever won or secured without violence (no distinction here about whether that's on or by protestors).

They've already deployed troops. Blue states banding together to say "please don't invade us" will do absolutely nothing to stop him deploying troops, especially when the only problem Trump has with Blue States is that they are Blue.

Kinda seems like the US has gone to war with her citizens: what with the deploying of troops against them and all. Maybe her citizens should start acting like they are at war.

Too bad there are no cases in history of a guerrilla force standing their own against the "undefeated" US military. /s

This move still doesn't hurt Trump, and honestly, for him--the more the merrier.
