Although the president was caught on mic musing about deporting American citizens.

  Not caught, he held a press conference and announced that he was going to try to do it.

    Actually I stand corrected--he was ALSO caught on tape with a much more chilling version of this statement.

  > Although the president was caught on mic musing about deporting American citizens The canaries in our coal mine are permanent residents. Anything that can legally be done to a permanent resident can basically be done to a "bad" citizen. Trump is trying to run roughshod over permanent residents' habeus corpus rights. Courts are currently pushing back; I expect he will defy them. That, for me, will be the line at which I'll start helping with civil disruption.

    "Bad" citizen can end up meaning anything Trump doesn't like, such as criticism. Even the most conservative person should be worried about this.

      Especially the most conservative person.

  He didn't get caught doing anything; he said it, openly, during an interview: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lmrx6b2gxy2f https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lmrx6b2gxy2f
