While this is alarming, it seems like such an obvious attempt to distract us from the people in Texas who died from the Republican party's inaction. As well as the revelation that the Epstein suicide video was edited
Wait is there proof of that now?
Well there's and entire minute missing, and the video was released with Adobe Premiere metadata....
I read that wasn’t even epsteins cell
The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.

Pretty sure it's to distract from Alligator Auschwitz as well.
If it's a legitimate threat, it's not a distraction. It's called "flooding the zone" and it's intentional, but it's mean to overwhelm us in general with the sheer amount of bullshit he spews.
But don't make the mistake that this is a distraction. He's opening a path to strip anyone he dislikes of citizenship and exile them to a foreign death camp. This is deadly serious and should not be ignored.

Honestly?
I hope he tries
She wealthy and still a household name. She can pay to fight, it would make it undeniable he's abusing power.
And she literally doesn't even live in this country. Absolutely zero danger at all, and she was already saying she might not come back.
What we need to do is start a campaign talking about how he's not smart enough or brave enough to try and revoke her citizenship.
Dude is easily manipulated.

The US is one of the only countries that still requires citizens living overseas to file and pay taxes. It’d be great if he further crippled the US war machine this way.
That gets thrown around all the time...

But the exception to it is pretty rational and covers most people.
It's like how billionaires convince poor people that can't afford to retire that a tax only 2% of people will ever pay on inheritance is a pressing issue and society doesn't deserve their cut.of problematic levels of generational wealth.
Like, do you understand how ripe this is for manipulation by the wealthy to turn public opinion against the wealthiest few who pay these taxes?
C'mon man...
It's 2025, we need to learn to recognize this shit on our own, misinformation is going to keep getting worse.
Quick edit:
For clarity, you do still need to file federal taxes every year, even though you have zero withholdings and still owe $0.
But people get in trouble for not filing, same as people who live in Alaska. There's no debt for missed payments, but there may be fines/consequences anyways
There's a ton of intricacies to it though, for example if you live in Canada you can't invest in one of the two retirement accounts without paying some pretty hefty fees. Those fees don't affect the rich who can easily pay it off, they only affect small times personal finance investing. Primary residence are only excluded for a relatively small amount (might be enough if you live in a small town, forget it if you live in a major metropolitan area past a small one bedroom condo), and the division with a partner isn't 50/50 like it is in Canada so your Canadian partner potentially looses a ton of money. Increases the cost of accountants and personal finance advisors by like three folds. Etc, etc...
I get that trying to get rich people to not use tax heavens is good. But this affects regular people who haven't lived in the country for years, decades, as well as their non American families.
I know this first hand, and second hand, as my immediate and extended family is all sort of cross border intertwined. It's a real pain in the ass.

I was explaining this to people when the courts first announced he could revoke birthright citizenship.
They're not going after Anchor Babies. They apply to everyone. Birth certificates don't have multiple types.
I made my dad go on a rant, when I said if we didn't have birth right citizenship then Trump would be a fucking illegal alien. Because his grandfather was a FUCKING IMMIGRANT! I literally screamed the last part because sick of my dad railing against Mexicans and blaming them for everything. Even though he used to work illegals and even paid to gst some ship in illegally.
Thankfully I finally cut my dad off I'm done. Sucks that he gets to stay wealthy due to what the true rich done to this country. All that money and he still a toxic and unhappy person.

This is where he wants to be. He doesn't have that power yet but there are still people who think this is all an act. Morons. This is who he wants to be. He isn't killing people as we know yet but that's the endgame. To become like Putin.

we should deport him after he loses.
We should have deported him after he tried to overthrow the government.
So it's never going to happen
He should rot in jail, preferably the new one in Florida. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen though.

Can we take away Trump's citizenship?
If no country wants to have him, I'm OK with dumping him in international waters on a raft.

What would someone do if their citizenship is revoked? Like if one suddenly finds themself in that situation what can they do other than run to the nearest embassy and beg for asylum? Presuming this is done before one is already in custody.
Three options:
- Go to every embassy or consulate you can and try to get a visa
- Live illegally in another country
- End up in a concentration camp
You know, I always thought "concentration camp" seemed too friendly of a name.
They're not concentrating them. They're slowly killing them. They're death camps.

Still? This nutless wonder is butthurt over Rosie? What a POS.
Rosie Derangement Syndrome
This is what I will go to war to fight. I have been genetically on this continent since the 1630’s. Family fought in the French Indian war and Revolution and all the way up to Vietnam. If you fuck with my citizenship over your feelings. I will and know a lot of others will forcefully stop this clown.
