Trump caught on a hot mike telling the El Salvador president “the home growns are next. We’ve gotta build about 5 more places”.

If you think you’re safe, you’re not. Unless you’re kissing his butt.

It was never about illegal immigration.

Obviously it was a clerical error and she knows her rights as an attorney.

But imagine if she got swept up in an ICE raid because she’d been identified as an unlawful resident? Then the president says they can’t bring her back?

Y’all keep supporting hooliganism

Like someone already said, it’s coming to your doorstep
A Massachusetts-born immigration attorney is questioning how many people are being wrongly instructed by the federal government to self-deport after she says she received an email from the Department of Homeland Security telling her to leave the U.S. “immediately” because her “parole” was terminated.
Nicole Micheroni shared the email to her Bluesky account Friday, stating that she knew it was sent to her in error and so wasn’t worried, “but what about the people the emails were actually aimed at?”

“It is time for you to leave the United States,” reads the email attributed to DHS, which has sent out similar versions to non-U.S. citizens who entered the U.S. using the CBP One mobile app. That app was set up during the Biden administration to facilitate border crossings before it was canceled by President Donald Trump.
Micheroni, who said she was born in Newton, works in Boston and has “no idea” how she ended up on the government’s list, was told she has seven days to leave the U.S., according to the email.

Do not attempt to remain in the United States — the federal government will find you,” it warns.

These Are the 381 Books Removed From the Naval Academy Library

Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and books on the Holocaust were among the works removed in response to an order from the office of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Maya Angelou’s seminal autobiography, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” and books on the Holocaust were included on the Navy’s list of 381 books that were removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s Nimitz Library on the Annapolis, Md., campus this week because their subject matter was seen as being related to so-called diversity, equity and inclusion topics.

President Trump issued an executive order in January that banned D.E.I. materials in kindergarten through 12th grade education, but the office of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth informed the Naval Academy on March 28 that he intended the order to apply to the school as well, even though it is a college

I don't see why I can't work in the place I do because one or two politicians are liberals or majority of the resident in the city are liberals. This is the exactly why your side are going about bombing teslas.

By your logic why are you in the country at the moment? Why no leave?
Funny you should ask because your side started with the “if you don’t like Trump govt you should leave” rhetoric. I guess you were blind to it then because it wasn’t being directed at you. Funny how y’all suddenly develop common sense when a mirror is held up to your faces to reflect your own self back to you. Once again the irony.

But that’s not even specifically what I was talking about in the first post you responded to. I mean why migrate at all to a first world country?. Be it Canada, America or wherever. Coming from a third world country with all the problems you’re running away from, only to support a politician who will turn the country you migrated to into a third world dictatorship if allowed to succeed is asinine (for lack of a better word).

Y’all want less regulations. So that people can’t hold corporations accountable for harm done to them due to slack safety standards.

You are demonizing higher education. Calling it indoctrination.

You’re demonizing science and scientists because their scientifically researched facts don’t support the conspiracies you’re being fed

Demonizing healthcare because you’re told to do so.

Promoting big man culture where only those who suck up to the leader are allowed to exist freely. Anyone else is a traitor.

Why leave the third world country at all? You already have all these things there.

Let me guess because it’s not actually nice to live under those conditions. The kind of society you want to live in doesn’t thrive under those kind of beliefs you have.

Your beliefs and the outcomes you wish for are antithetical to each other. And that’s the irony I was talking about!

You haven't explained how gerrymandering works in a statewide election where the entire state will vote and not just a district

E.g like how gerrymandering makes Republicans win Senate Governorship and presidential election

Yeah opinions and many Americans are turning their opinions into actions by moving away from Democratic states to Republican states. So much that by 2030 the projected apportionment of the electoral college is looking bleak for the Democrats as shown in the map below

Trump didn't have to tell anyone about living in Canada and how they are taxed to the max for absolutely nothing in return just like in most blue controlled states in America. People who are forced to move to Canada for whatever reasons always long for the freedom and prosperity of the US especially red states

I saw how easy life was in Texas vs all the blue states I lived many Americans are seeing that and the question on their lips is why didn't I move sooner
Gerrymandering affects all elections. From the house of reps where crazy people like MTG end up elected there are also gerrymandered state legislatures. Who then end up passing all kinds of voter suppression laws in their states. You’re doing that thing again when something is proven to you in black and white you start saying what about this. The fact is republican states are twice as gerrymandered as democrat states. Bringing it to what about the senate and the presidency will not change the fact that gerrymandering has favored republicans way past what they deserve.

Like I told you before when you talked about people moving from democrat states and like I will tell you if you bring it up again (and I know you will) my sweet response is good riddance . I wish more republican minded people will move to Republican states. Today if possible. Hopefully sooner than later.

So you guys can line up the streets and yell “go back to where you came from” at each other 😅

raumdeuter:
Can you explain How did Gerrymandering made NC, Texas and Florida vote republican in statewide elections like the Senate Governorship and presidency?
“Most of the states in the United States (about 75%) have a legislature that has been gerrymandered to favor either the Republican or the Democratic party.

Gerrymandering is the drawing of legislative district lines in such a way that a political party elects more legislators than it would ordinarily be entitled to. Gerrymandering creates large numbers of “safe seats” for the dominant party in a legislature that cannot be lost, no matter how the voters are voting.

But there is a distinct partisan bias to the gerrymandering of legislatures in the United States. Roughly twice as many legislatures are gerrymandered to favor the Republicans as as are gerrymandered by Democrats.”


I have lived in many liberal states and I absolutely hated it. They seem always devoid of happiness and mostly miserable.
Opinions right?

I have been to Canada and it was just there. Like a poor cousin of America. A pretend America. In Ontario their biggest province only one company LBCO sells most of the alcohol and they even went on strike for weeks
again opinions. But I have to mention how anti Canadian rhetoric wasn’t a thing in America until Trump came into office and told his base Canada is an enemy then all of a sudden right wingers are espousing anti Canadian sentiment while praising Russia. It’s interesting

That's why most Nigerian immigrants in America their end goal is to get American citizenship
Just like many in blue states are fleeing to red states.
Right. Because USA is a bigger world power. With a stronger currency. I feel like it goes without saying that an immigrant would want to come here. Unfortunately Trump is ruining all that.

[She repairs medical ICU and theatre equipment esp and never goes a few days without some medical facility contracting her for routine maintenance, repair or emergency repairs or just being there when a surgery is in progress.I inspired her when she saw me fixing radios , TVs and any electronic gadget those days if I must add. She is a registered nurse too .
This is an interesting career combination. Does she still work as a nurse? And does equipment repairs on the side?

I actually dgaf. It’s a free world. He can be wherever he wants. I’m bemused he hasn’t chosen a red state to go live in though. Wouldn’t that be the right move for him?

Liberalism is a disease according to you guys. And democrats are ruining their states. He hates liberals. Why not find a red state with the values he wants? Last I checked he won’t need a visa for that since he’s already in America🤷🏽‍♀️.

As for your question why does it matter? It wouldn’t matter on a normal day but the kinds of claims people make on this thread is what made it seem to matter.
Imagine I’m in America and I’m arguing with amaka about what’s going on in her street or local council in UK. But she’s telling me “that’s not true. I’m actually presently here and this is what’s happening”. But I keep confidently calling her a liar about her experience because my Google is telling me something different than her experience is showing her. Amaka has a right to ask me if I even know what I’m talking about since she’s the one who had the experience and all I have is google.

There’s a reason why I keep convos generic if I’m talking to someone who has more experience in the topic than I do. And I listen to them if they tell me I’m wrong.
Obviously Americans politics is very interesting and unfortunately it affects the world so everyone gets a say. But to the point of arguing specific details that you can only know from experience is wild to me.

Y’all carry on. 😘

Trump's recalcitrance in returning the person sent to El Salvador combined with his fight whether people not born in the US by US parents are citizens is making sense now.
Every naturalized immigrant should be concerned.
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-el-salvador-us-citizens-denaturalization-1235315975/
He tried this denaturalization stunt in his first term btw.
Now he has no one to stop him so he’ll go full throttle.
But when I talked about it, Mr Livingstone (I think that’s his moniker) came with his “I’m a neutral observer and you’re worse than maga for saying this”. 😒

Because they couldn’t get themselves to believe he could ever do something like this. Even though his records are public.

They chose to focus on the wrong things.

They were warned. As much as rainbow people annoy or irritate you, they are not what’s wrong with the country. Makes no sense Focusing on them when your lives and freedoms are at stake. But it fell on deaf ears.

Everyone is collecting now.
As you can see, No more rampant LGBTQ discourse. Did they stop existing? Obviously not. Did they stop using public bathrooms? Lol. But I guess the propaganda has served its use and those who fell for it are somewhere now nursing the wounds they inflicted on themselves.

I’m sure they learned nothing though. Another politician with anti this group or that group propaganda will still get their votes.

Cococandy I am tempted to gloat. Because trump supporters were men,mostly from traditional/conservative countries .

At least china hate the USA,and he will have the opportunity to leave the "degenerate west".

I wouldn't be surprised if he were part of those complaining of how LGBTQ degeneracy took over the west and trump the messiah will purge the states of evil.

the paradox of the african conservative - benefiting from liberal policies while hating on liberal values. broken brain.
None of them can survive in a real republican state.

They usually move to the Texas big cities or cities in NC or FL. Some of these states are only red because of gerrymandering or their Republicans only slightly outnumber the democrats. So on paper they’re red but their cities have diversity and some liberal values like higher education etc. Which is what attracts progress and higher income. Then they turn around and hate the only reason why they’re even surviving in those cities to start with.

Let a true African conservative head to deep red state with sundown towns and come back to tell us their experience.

When I lived in Washington we used to joke with “hey honey how would you like to spend the weekend in another country”? Because it was merely like 2 hours away to get into Canada from where we were. We would go pretend we were foreigners in a foreign country. grin

Beautiful beautiful country. With liberal values. I would be proud to live there. I don’t think he’s not proud of it.

I think he got caught up trying to portray that he’s very well versed in American politics because he’s an American resident and then he had to keep up with the story. Either way I hope he finds his way to Alabama or Missouri or Mississippi where the core red values are rampant. Then he can enjoy the politics he advocates for.

Being in Seattle where we kept our last democratic governor for 12 years in a row has to be very hard for a Republican like bemeruca. We don’t mess with conservatism in Washington state. We’ve been democrats since before I was born. I can’t imagine an immigrant with conservative values choosing to live there.

Ibime:
We all know Bemeruca is in Surrey, Canada, just South of Vancouver. That's why he claims the unlikely state of Washington which is just across the border from Vancouver cos that's where he can easily cross the border and take pictures to claim one or two.

You can't claim to have no interest in moving to Yankee and have green card 6 weeks later. Canada papers would have been processing while he was making that statement and is the obvious play for any Nigerian professional

A shame he keeps false claiming USA. Canada is a great destination in its own right and he should be proud of the achievement

California can as well opt out of America and become their own country since they are very rich to go against what benefits their country cos the president is a republican and Trump.


Sometimes one wonder the type of federalism America practices.
Let us oppose for opposition sake.
We would love to opt out. But republicans would cry and fight us about it. They hate California so much but they can’t afford to be weaned off our titties flowing with money that subsidizes them and the poor financial decisions of their governments.

Are we supposed to sit on hands and suffer because the president wants to play games with our livelihoods and retirement funds?

Ask yourself why the core red states are the poorest, sickest and least educated states. The red states that don’t do so badly are the ones with big diverse cities where the left leaning populations is only slightly outnumbered by the right. Places Where they’re like 60% red and 40% blue. The blue cities amongst them carry them on their backs.

The core red ones like Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri etc. dirt poor. uneducated. Meth heads. Healthcare system in the mud. Transporting their homeless people to California in the middle of the night and abandoning them.

If we don’t want to go down that route, we have to bypass irresponsible Republican presidents whose only mission in their presidencies is to enrich the oligarchs and abandon the people. Democrat policies centers the people. That’s why we do well.
