- 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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Can they actually do that?? Someone please advise.
There's a hidden division in your question, whether intentional or not. "Can" they do that. Do you mean "are they legally allowed to do that", or "do they have the power to do that"?
In the former, no. In the later, possibly, yes.
Yea I meant can they really make that happen.
It really doesn't matter with this administration. They have shown time and time again that the old adage of "better to ask for forgiveness than permission" unfortunately works pretty effectively. Ffs the turd is adjudicated guilty of fucking rape... FUCKING RAPE and is very likely a pedo to boot, and a third of the country voted for him!
If you're born lucky, you live your life without consequences. There is no just god, smoke crack and worship no one.
I'm yet to see them ask for forgiveness...
There's a lot of shenanigans they could do within the law (not even mentioning the stuff they could do outside of the law):
If they "find" evidence of any crime committed before his oath ceremony, yes, it's possible. Within 5 years of naturalization, if they "find" evidence of "terrorist" or "communist" associations, yes.
Also, denaturalization is not done in a criminal court, it's a civil trial, below the "beyond reasonable doubt" standard of proof that a criminal trial would require. I'm not sure if a jury is even required.
Just an example: If they find a video of him smoking weed an hour before his oath ceremony, technically that could be used against him, marijuana is still illegal under the controlled substance act. Not sure how that would practically play out in court tho.
I'm actually kinda worried for myself. I have no idea exactly how clean/by-the-books my parent's tax records are or if their taxes are even done correctly, if they did anything shady, and if it happened before my mom got citizenship, she could lose citizenship and I would lose it too. So... yea... no wonder why I can't sleep these days.
Or they could extend the definition of "terrorist" enough that pretty much anyone they want to target will qualify. And who would defend a terrorist?

Since when has legality stopped them
Who's gonna stop them? The law has no bearing on their actions so far. It hasn't been a year yet.
True.
