A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
How dare he use his first amendment rights! DEPORT HIM!!!
Trump is just as unhinged as any North Korean dictator at this point.
I had no idea Dr Niro made such a speech. Let's all go watch it!
Yeah I only know of it because of these articles though I have seen other articles about De Niro's opinion which makes me like him more. Though I don't know much of him besides he has entertained me greatly in multiple movie genres over the years.
Seems worth checking out.
Fuck you orange asshole.
"Should be deported" means "should be put in a concentration camp."
He also said the US should deport two members of congress but Huffpost deemed that was not headline worthy apparently
or "should kiss the ring"
The SOTU had insane Saddam/Stalin vibes. MMW if the GOP wins in 2028 the next SOTU will have arrests, if not summary executions.
What a tough guy he is, being unable to handle the slightest criticism without throwing a tantrum.
The weak man's idea of a strong man.
The right wing sure do love their little bitches.
Deport De Niro, who was born in New York?
"Deport" for these fascists just means "get rid of", like the way the Nazis "deported" millions into gas chambers. That's the plan when the camps can't hold everyone. Remember, the DHS has indicated they want to "deport" one third of the US population, and that cannot mean resettling them:
Besides, they are building giant concentration camps all over the country, and a brand new 30,000 bed prison in Guantanamo. They got plenty of places to "deport" people to.
DEPORT HIM AND ALL THE LIBERALS TO AN ISLAND...oh that's Manhattan.
I'm sure Mamdani wouldn't mind welcoming De Niro back to New York permanently.
DeNiro is no saint. He is a rabid antivaxer because one of his kids is autistic and he continues to have kids over 80 despite the clear risks of autism. What kind of psychopath has kids just to die and leave them fatherless.
Lmao he's got the one risk factor we're really sure about and he's still blaming vaccines
DeNiro never left NY, he even setup a studio in Tribecca.
Mebbies Trump was thinking of 'Old' York, as in the one in England
You know who used to be the Duke of York? The paedo formerly known as Prince Andrew.
Coincidence? I DON'T THINK SO!
Look at that last name, De Niro, that is obviously an unamerican foreign name. Therefore DEPORTABLE!
Now if he was called Robert Chad DudeMcHamburger then that's an american name and impossible to deport.
sounds Irish
Though the speech was ripe with overblown boasts and self-congratulations..
*rife
I should be a HuffPost editor
There isnt anything wrong with using ripe in this context.
It just means "full of"
No, that’s rife. They sound similar, but ripe means mature.
Not according to webster
You must mean this one:
6: ruddy, plump, or full like ripened fruit
a ripe figure
This one refers to the shape of something - an actual physical object. So like “full lips” but not like a “full head” (abstract) or a “full stomach” (a feeling)
A speech can’t be “ripe with” boasts in this sense.
Nope, this one
full of.
a population ripe with discontent
And sorry it wasnt websters it was oxford.
You should be an AI spell-checker?
No links to coverage of de Niro? I would rather watch that than hear Trump's handlers' take on the state of anything.
Deport trump to hell.
Satan has standards…
Deported to where? New York?
New Jersey
Underrated comment
The president does not have the authority, and the executive branch does not have the authority, to deport citizens. Now naturalized they say they do because democrats and republicans decided to let them do that, because Israel, because of course it was about israel.
I feel like that's unconstitutional though, that it's a violation of separation of powers if nothing else, and at a minimum a trial by jury would need to decide deportation or no for a naturalized citizen.
The president, and his appointees, should not be targeting civilians, not for for criticizing them, not for anything directly like this, it's asymmetric, the powerful abusing people that can't fight back, in this case for using rights enshrined in the highest law of the land.
As if not being allowed to do shit has stopped them from doing it anyways.
What's the amendment in the constitution about lack of papers not being suitable evidence for deportation? That hasn't stopped a god damned thing. First amendment? No trump just sues everyone and they all just accept it.
Rules don't mean shit if no one holds the ones ignoring them accountablep
Your first two sentences contradict each other.
They don't have the authority to deport citizens, but they do have the authority to deport naturalized (something)?
Naturalized what? Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen. Do they have the authority to deport citizens or not?
They've passed laws the past ten or so years allowing the executive to strip naturalized citizens, people from other countries that were granted citizenship, of their citizenship and deport them. Basically all because Israel as always. This administration is the only one to try and use those new authorities as I understand it.
The UK passed laws like this first, allowing them to strip citizenship and deport people to places they've never been, and rendering people stateless, well before the tories time in office too, 14 years that ended idk a year or two back.
Natural born citizens they have no authority over, until the scotus finds them an end run around the 14th at least, hard to see how they could but who knows at this point.
