Some small town bar has lost their village idiot. We need to return this idiot to where he belongs.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

A third of the population?! What the fuck?
Imagine deporting 1/3 of your country's population.
Hate is a powerful narcotic.
I don't want to, but these freaks are currently masturbating FURIOUSLY to the thought of it.
Texas Railroad Commissioner
Well guess he's looking to use a lot of trains for something. Seems familiar....
The railroad commission is actually the state's oil and gas regulatory agency, and doesn't have anything to do with railroads anymore. The name confuses people and they like it that way.
I feel dumb for daring to think government would pretend to care about public transport.
Deport citizens? Deport them where? Oh. Deport them into death — just like the Nazis did with their undesirables.
The US has agreements with a number of third countries to take on non-citizen deportations. According to the article in the link, these include Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, and South Sudan.
It’s fairly likely that the US applies enough economic pressure until these countries have little choice but to do it. I recall they were trying to force Bahamas and Grenada into it last year, but as far as I’m aware they have managed to maintain their rejection
This, exactly. A nice tidy way of keeping their hands clean. Deport them to a country with prisons where detainee deaths are common, or their government can be subtly coerced into killing the people our government sends there. When people demand answers, our government can just throw up its hands and say, "Well, how were we supposed to know they were doing that?"
They will just round them up and "concentrate" them into camps, while figuring out where to send them. Who knows, maybe some of them will even happen to die while the Republicans try to find a final solution, solving part of the problem that way.
Probably why there's so many ICE camps being made that are so huge. Have no fear though. I'm sure that work shall set you free.
American displays what happens when you sabotage your educational systems by making expected bizarre and dumb claims
So your average Monday evening, then
C4CPAC
Let them, and see how the country won't function without the 100 million able bodied people.
They never think that far ahead. Also I dont think they care.
They never need to. They just have to last longer than their immediate victims.
For those who haven't figured this out yet:
They're going to cancel or seriously disrupt the midterms, and they will go door to door, with ICE, based on your known political affiliation, after they declare anyone who disagrees with them to be a terrorist.
Be ready.
Hopefully they fuck it up and turn on each other before it gets to that point.
But... do you really wanna just rely on that happening?
Midterms are the warm up for 2028. They are setting the stage to control congress so they can take the election if their other thefts fail. We will see whom their leader ends up being in that election.
They want to get that extreme this midterm, they don't have the support yet. Not that they won't try and have some limited success.
So like, my good foot is kinda f’d. However, I am so willing and god so help me, to do Red Formans work with my other good foot. I know where to put it!
For reference, the population of the USA is approximately 350 million. That's a pretty significant chunk.
So you're saying they'd need to do it on an industrial scale? Might need to make large scale gas chambers that will be disguised as gas chambers to lure them in without resistance. Need a cheap gas to do it. Maybe Zyklon B?
- ~~Nazis~~ Republicans, effectively.
Also for reference, 100 million doesn't correspond to the number of immigrants, but does correspond to the number of non-white people.
They're actually talking about ethnic cleansing.
Restaurants are going to really suck after their ethnic cleansing plan.
Bo French, a Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner…
…Was all I needed to know this was about race.
This is like a shitty comic book plot. Fuck these fascists.
Soon to be Bo American (and proud of it).
The number of Democrat voters also. Could be a political cleansing...
That is solidly, I shit you not, A THIRD OF THE POPULATION.
Does this moron not realize that this proposition is economic and logistical suicide?
... you know what, thinking about it, he probably doesn't.
Does this moron not realize that this proposition is economic and logistical suicide?
When they say "deport", they actually mean "enslave"
So... invest in private prisons?
They're only going to enslave them until they have enough. They've already calculated that the 100,000,000 are those that are unsuitable for slave labor, for whatever reason, including age, health, resistance, etc. They'll keep the compliant ones, and eliminate the rest.
He's just saying deportation because he doesn't want to be controversial.
Population is strength. Reducing it isn't good.
Is this still true in a post AI world where your country’s billionaires are the only people who count?
MAGA has a fundamental disagreement. It all depends on the demographic make-up of that population. A large population filled with undesirables isn't as strong as a concentrated population of pure superior white people.
Counter-proposal:
Deport all xenophobes.
Lets just give Texas to Mexico and Florida to Cuba. or Iran can take both as a deal for peace. Whoever will accept them really, we're not picky at this point.
Maybe if we call it a "free vacation" we can send them all to Israel?

Better proposal:
Kirk these bastards.
We don't want them.
You created them, you can keep them.
Sincerely, the rest of the world.
