What evidence do you have to believe that’s true?

- pksebben 1y agothe 1950s comes to mind...
- mrexroad 1y ago… and 2/19/1942. Two thirds of those required to report to camps for internment, per the Executive Order, were US citizens.
- jahewson 1y agoThat was a Democrat president.
- tumsfestival 1y agoWho cares. Doesn't matter who did it, it matters that it happened and you're about to commit the same mistakes again. It matters that you let this slide just because he's your guy.
- pksebben 1y agoFor real. I feel like we need a PSA about how many of us aren't supporters of the opposition just because we don't like 'your guy'. Ronald Reagan was a trash goblin who destroyed our economy to enrich the wealthy. So was Bill Clinton. George Bush was a war criminal who indiscriminately bombed brown people. So was Obama. Hillary Clinton was a huckster con artist who worked for her wealthy friends. So is Trump. Your dichotomy is a trap. There are no good guys because the system itself is rigged in favor of militaristic capitalist oligarchs, which is the actual problem.
- mrexroad 1y agoFor fucks sake, an irrelevant partisan jab is all you can comment? Save that drivel for Reddit and please put a little more thought into your contributions here. Point is, an Executive Order issued by the President did this to natural born citizens of the United States based on their ethnic background.
- miltonlost 1y agoTrump just said he's going to try to take Rosie O Donnell's citizenship away.
- phkahler 1y agoDo people still take his comments like that seriously?
- micromacrofoot 1y agoHe's given us more reason to take him seriously than not at this point, you can probably measure it objectively. He's practically perfected "just kidding... unless"
- kashunstva 1y ago> Do people still take his comments like that seriously? Yes, because he has a pattern of staking out one extreme position and then doing something slightly less extreme; but both of which would have been unthinkable when laws and due process meant something. And also, yes, because joking around is something you do on your own time and when you’re a child. Like not wanting your pilot to announce his intention to do some aerobatic maneuvers on an airline flight. Whether they carry it out or not is almost beside the point.
- wombatpm 1y agoHow are we to know which official statements repeatedly made by the President in public are True?
- zippothrowaway 1y agoThe people of Greenland do. I'm old enough to remember when that was considered just "one of his jokes".
- AlecSchueler 1y agoDo people still downplay the seriousness of statements like this?

- bigyabai 1y agoDeportations without due-process, for a start. Why not deprive you of due process, too?
- strathmeyer 1y agoDoes the state you live in have concentration camps, yet?
- hcurtiss 1y agoWe have several prisons.
