Trump, 79, wrote: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.”
Remember folks, we are not in a dictatorship. I’m sure someone can find the section in the Constitution where the President is given the power to revoke citizenship.
Ani if someone does find it don’t be surprised that it isn’t in oak gall ink.
Of course not. It will be in Sharpie.
And spelled wrong.
Obviously Donald hoped that this would distract his base from the Epstein files, and their wrath over his withholding them.
But he miscalculated. Rosie O’Donnell may be on the list of MAGA-Most-Hated, but she’s nowhere near the top of that list.
Donald should have threatened to deport Hillary—THAT would have made MAGA forget Epstein for a while.
Don’t you feel sheepish for that cheesy remark?
stop pls
Just today somebody suggested to me that his absurd threat against Rosie O’Donnell was intended to distract the public from the Epstein files. But he’s always saying, writing and posting dumb shit like this.
Not really. Casu martzu is best known for its MAGAts.
Of course he is. He’s probably already tweeting something to distract his base from Rosie O’Donnell.
Well, yeah, it is pretty dumb shit, not least because there is no known mechanism for revoking the citizenship of a natural-born citizen, but Germany in 1934 likely had no mechanism to enable citizenship revocation of Jews who had been established as citizens for generations.
Then came the Nuremberg Laws, in 1935. Hell, I wouldn’t put it past this crowd to push for a suite of “Nuremberg Laws” every few months, each suite targeting a new socially-vulnerable group.
(At least with the implicit goal of achieving such results.)
Now you’ve done it. You may have lost us the wisdom of Wrenching_Spanners for a year or more.
Yes, somebody three posts up:
He has a list of Distractions always ready to go, whenever the public starts noticing his stupidity/greed/ineptness. Annex Canada! Deport the NY mayorial candidate! Start hawking more merchandise! Invade Greenland!
But this time the distraction isn’t up to its job. (He needed to choose a ‘remove citizenship’ target that the base would REALLY get excited about. If not Hillary----how about Obama???)
There is an article published today indicating that trump claims Obama forged all of the Epstein files.
I’m going to have to ask the board whether or not Rolling Stone is credible.
Speaking of Nazis, I saw this the other day.
Law used to kick out Nazis could be used to strip citizenship from many more Americans
For decades, the US Department of Justice has used a tool to sniff out former Nazis who lied their way into becoming American citizens: a law that allowed the department to denaturalize, or strip, citizenship from criminals who falsified their records or hid their illicit pasts.
That power, under the new Trump administration, may be broadening.
According to a memo issued by the Justice Department last month, attorneys should aim their denaturalization work to target a much broader swath of individuals – anyone who may “pose a potential danger to national security.”
The directive appears to be a push towards a larger denaturalization effort that fits with the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies. These could leave some of the millions of naturalized American citizens at risk of losing their status and being deported.
…
The statute in question is part of a McCarthy-era law first established to root out Communists during the red scare.But its most common use over the years has been against war criminals.
In 1979, the Justice Department established a unit that used the statute to deport hundreds of people who assisted the Nazis. Eli Rosenbaum, the man who led it for years, helped the department strip citizenship from or deport 100 people, and earned a reputation as the DOJ’s most prolific Nazi hunter.
…
But current and former DOJ officials who spoke to CNN said that the beyond instructing lawyers to file as many denaturalization cases as possible, the memo is so broad that it could allow the Justice Department to invoke vague or unsubstantiated claims to expel people from the country.Robertson, of Case Western, warned that the memo could give way to the Trump administration retroactively searching for missteps in the naturalization process of perceived political opponents, like student activists.
Irina Manta, a law professor at Hofstra University, said that the administration’s move could have a “chilling effect” on free speech, both political and otherwise.
“I regularly observe the fear firsthand,” she said.
Trump has publicly flirted with the notion of deporting American citizens he doesn’t want in the country.
Though the seriousness of these statements is highly unclear, he has called for everything from deporting “bad people … many of them [who] were born in our country” to saying his administration should “take a look” at removing Elon Musk after his erstwhile ally criticized the president’s spending bill.
At least one ally has taken a more formal step.
Last week, Andy Ogles, a Republican congressman, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani—who was born in Uganda and naturalized in 2018— should be subject to denaturalization proceedings because he “publicly glorifies” people connected to Hamas in a rap song.
First, they came for the illegal immigrants, then they came for the naturalized citizens, next they’ll come for the natural-born citizens who are a “danger”…
Time to start hunting for Obama’s real birth certificate again?
‘The Epstein files are on Pam Bondi’s desk right now, but also they do not exist; but also they do exist, and were written by Obama and Hillary when Epstein died in 2019, when the President was Donald Trump.’ - Brian Tyler Cohen
Used to be good, when it was just music. Then they went all preachy and starting making up bogus lists of “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”.
Hey, do you think this clown has figured out there is no way to keep his own list from dropping?? 
Professor at a California State University abducted by ICE while assisting a disabled bystander who was overcome by a tear gas canister during an ICE raid.
Jonathan Caravello, a professor at CSU Channel Islands, was among one of the more than 200 people arrested from the federal agent’s raid of Glass House Farms’ operations in both Carpinteria and Camarillo on July 10.
In a statement, the California Faculty Association said that Caravello, according to witnesses, was arrested on July 10 after attempting to help a person in a wheelchair who had a tear gas canister lodged underneath their wheelchair.
CFA President Margarita Berta-Ávila said in the July 10 statement that while attempting to help the bystander, who could not see or breathe, Caravello was “abruptly taken down by immigration agents, dragged into an unmarked vehicle and taken to an unknown location.”
Mod messaged for correction. Thank you, @Civil_Guy .
