That would be

- Woman
- LGBT
- Born in USA
That’s a big move…

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well, they massively expanded jail space everywhere, as well as funding for ICE. Of course they're going after much more people than just "illegal immigrants". That's just the low-hanging fruit for them (still anti-constitutional). Fascists will always move on to other groups of people because they constantly need to find new enemies, not realizing that they themselves are the only ones causing actual harm. They will also turn on each other if someone blames another one of "treason" or "aiding the enemy" or whatever. It's a purely destructive cult-like force and if you can't stop it it will cost millions of lives over a couple of years.
He's going after citizens now, testing the waters. Either that, or it's a distraction. Maybe both.
Don't underestimate him and assume it's just a distraction. He's willing to do far more than this.
I really don't like the "it's a distraction" argument. If everything today is a distraction for yesterday and tomorrow will have more distractions for today, then they are no longer distractions. It's a figurative shotgun blast of bullshit on a daily basis and hoping most of it sticks.
Like the gish gallop of authoritarian power. Pretty sure the Nazis did the same.
Yes. There is no Merlin in a tower exacting immaculate designs through an orb on a table here — it's just a bunch of people who were raised on the dark liquor of grievance culture who were given power. They're all taking out their grievances. That's gonna be the entire story of the next however long. Measure your place in that paradigm and plan accordingly.
Bannon called for it, explicitly - they want to flood the zone with shit, and they hit the ground running with Project 2025 as well as lots of Taco's personal vendettas and weird proclivities (like the tariffs, like invading Greenland and Panama, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, etc.).
What the fuck do you mean "now" it's been happening for weeks
I'm guessing both. He'd do it, might still even try, but this and the tarrifs are to distract everyone from the Epstein debacle.
“Stop talking about Epstein!!!”
Well, well, well. Isn't that the racist raping bankrupt fraudster conman pot calling the kettle black.
“Epstein? Who’s that?” 🫲🍊🫱 “We need to take Rosie O’Donnells citizenship away.”
Isn't it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless? For that matter is there literally any legal mechanism in the US to strip citizenship from someone once it has been granted?
Since when has legality mattered?
Yeah, the thing about international law is that there's no real enforcement mechanism. If you break it, either your own country has to arrest you, or you'd have to be dumb enough to travel to a country that will do that. It's why Putin didn't travel to South Africa for a summit, and why Netanyahu is happily travelling all over the US and Europe while continuing a genocide.
Isn’t it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless?
Yes.
I don’t think she would be stateless. Seems she’s living in Ireland and has an Irish born parent. She might have dual citizenship at this point.
That’s not to say there is any legal mechanism to take away her American citizenship, just that being left stateless would likely not be the result.
That’s not to say there is any legal mechanism to take away her American citizenship,
When has that stopped Dementia Donvict?
Isn't it an international human rights violation to make somebody stateless?
The US is one of the only attending countries that refused to sign during the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
Rosie has been living rent free in his head for well over a decade. It’s like Hillary lite.
Nearly 20 years. I guess his butthurt goes back to 2006 when it comes to Rosie. She told the truth about him and he hates that. She called into question his bullshit image, and of course, he threatened to sue her for making "false statements".
Which of course were true statements, and nearly anyone that even looked into Taco back in the 80s would know....I'm sure most Americans that only knew Taco from his stupid game show believed his image of being a self-made bigly successful bidness man.
Of course, her being an overweight, outspoken lesbian makes him even more angry....lol.
...and so it begins.
Godspeed America. It's gonna get real hot this summer.
Sadly it began a long time ago
Yeah of course. But it's getting more and more blatant. What begins is the regime criminalizing and disappearing US citizens (with the help of Palantir). That's the ultimate end state, and where Putin is now.
For what its worth, not mentioned in the article:
In early 2025, shortly after Trump was inaugurated for a second term, O'Donnell moved to Ireland, where she is in the process of securing Irish citizenship through descent
Seems like she'd actually welcome getting her citizenship stripped, might be better for her tax liabilities as well.
Seriously, did he hit on her early in her career and she turned him down or something? This is outright obsession. She must have rejected him in a way so emasculating and demeaning and humiliating, and categorically undeniable with such confidence and self-assurance that he has gone full comic book villain. She’s his origin story. He’s still bullying her so hard I think he still wants her. He’s the high school kid who got rejected by his crush and so he becomes her persecutor. Bullying and ostracising at every opportunity - and with a brain so underdeveloped (demented) there is no sense of self-awareness or self-control. He’s basically at the stage of school shooting.
Projection, Trump is a threat to humanity
Nice to see that Taco is taking his job so very seriously.
This guy is still spinning over Rosie, FFS. What a gigantic fucking baby he is.
Old man (with nearly unfettered authority) yells at cloud
Threat to humanity projecting again. News at 11.
Trump is just like Putin. He accuses other people of what he actually is. Hes the threat to humanity clearly. His subconscious rules him.
Trump is the biggest threat to humanity! Rosie isn't the one throwing people to the alligators!
Never threatened me.
