Lol. So he wants to illegally expell US citizens, who can then immediately return to the country. I know he's just trying to play it up for his base, but holy shit they can't be so braindead that they believe it would actually happen...right?

The USA also deported anarchists and communists who were American citizens early on in the red scare IIRC.

The current guy said he'd cure cancer.

I don't recall curing cancer being a federal crime tho

Did you cure it using illegal imported drugs from Cuba lie to customs, and bypass the US pharma racket? That's a paddlin'

If this was applied it would just be a way of silencing international students/faculty who support Palestine on campuses and to a lesser extent other people on visas. Do people not remember the last Muslim ban? He would totally do something like this. I don't why you start off your comment with "Lol" have you never met someone on a visa or an international student. Someone like him would gladly start sicking ICE on pro Palestine students without citizenship. I'm honestly baffled on the level of joking around in these comments. Like haha send me to China LOL, maybe just for a second think if this is not a joke to other people. I think it would be a travesty if something like this could happen.

CLIVE, Iowa, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Donald Trump promised on Monday that if elected president again he will bar immigrants who support Hamas from entering the U.S. and send officers to pro-Hamas protests to arrest and deport immigrants who publicly support the Palestinian militant group.

Trump, president from 2017-2021, said that if elected to a second White House term he will ban entry to the U.S. of anybody who does not believe in Israel's right to exist, and revoke the visas of foreign students who are "antisemitic."

Undoubtedly it's intended to target anyone in precarious citizenship situations. But aren't most people in those situations already going to lay low in the US? I'd assume most people agitating and protesting in any country are probably not on a visa.

In the case of an international student or professor from the middle east or anywhere else for that matter they are in a precarious situation being they only have a visa to study/teach, but that normally doesn't come along with the expectation that if they state their beliefs by as little as going to a protest they will be deported. That's a whole another level of precarity. And I would assume that in many cases students and faculty from abroad make up important segments of many US university movements/protests for Palestine. As they have unique experiences/insight that many people who never leave the US don't have/develop.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
