Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you

Not deport me, not deport **legal** immigrants, and not making me fear for my freedom would be a nice start.
@realcaseyrollins How ya figure? Trump explicitly is screaming at the top of his lungs about deporting citizens.. how is it not his fault
@freemo When did he do that?

"Screaming at the top of his lungs about deporting citizens"? Haha
@lnxw37a2 @freemo Interesting. Well, if this is something he's actually wanting and planning on doing, that'd be a little different than something #Trump has casually mentioned doing if legal (it's not). For now this is mostly seeming like the whole " #Trump said to inject yourself with bleach" thing
He has already done it for people with legal residence despite being determined to be very clearly illegal by judges, he even then arrested the judge who tried to stop him from doing this illegal shit... Literally he has already executed every step of it right up to the point where he deports a literal citizen (deporting a legal resident without due process and the judge standing int he way should be a pretty big clue he is and will do it).
@lnxw37a2
*sigh*
We've been over this already, I'm pretty sure. I'm not going over it again.
Can't remember if I touched on the "homegrown terror" thing, but in case I haven't: again, #Trump didn't mention citizens, it's not clear to me that he's referring to citizens in that clip. It sounds like he's referring to folks who are violent but not members of organized gangs.
If you think he's talking about citizens...fine, I guess, but he didn't say that specifically.
Are you serious man, really? In the press conference she clarified it.. he specifically said "deport american citizens" and referenced the specific talk Trump said what he said that you think is ambiguous. The press release secretary quite clearly states that yes, trump is looking to find a way to deport citizens and that he has been talking about it and planning it for a while in multiple ways.
ARe you seriously this desperate to play this mental gymnastics.. at this point you just sound like a tool when it has been so clearly reiterated in multiple conversations in multiple ways... why are you so desperate to believe something different than what has been explicitly stated, and clarified in multiple ways to you by him and his press secretary?
@freemo @lnxw37a2 Ah I see, I just listened to the second clip, I'd only read a couple quotes from it earlier. I didn't know that those two statements were even connected until #KarolineLeavitt
I guess I can say again that I don't support deporting citizens lol
Cool, obviously you have at least one brain cell if you dont support deporting american citizens.
Now do you have at least 2 brain cells and likewise dont support presidents who claim they want to deport us citizens? Thats more the issue, if you see the gross violations Trump is both doing, and claiming he will try to do, and you are pissed off and oppose his rule, then I fully respect you again. If not then I hate to say it but this is the moment ive lost a very long track record of respect for you.
There are lines people cant cross and expect me to respect them. Wanting a president who says they want to deport US citizens, and actively circumvents the due process clause of the constitution is one fundemental thing i can never respect. I hope that isnt you, as 1) I never would have expected it to be and 2) I much prefer to think the respect you gained from me is earned and not misplaced.
@freemo @lnxw37a2 Oh I missed that reply.
Yeah and that's the funniest thing about this whole conversation: I don't support #Trump anymore, and haven't for months if not years (I don't remember exactly when I stopped supporting him but it was sometime during the 2024 election cycle). I've hated #MAGA for even longer than that.
Then I misunderstood, am sorry, and I see my respect in you has always been well placed and it is a great relief I didnt misjudge your character as badly as I thought I had done.
My apologies for misunderstanding my friend, and as far as Im concerned I can safely continue with the deep level of respect for you I have always had.
Thanks for reassuring me some people have integrity.
@freemo @lnxw37a2 Thanks. I'm sorry to say that I cannot say the same for you. You certainly have a level of integrity, but the way you have behaved in this conversation has eroded some (but not all) of the respect I have for you. It is hard to have the highest level of respect for someone who is willing to speak to someone (and I presume treat people) so poorly due to political disagreements.
Your behavior here is almost literally everything I try to avoid in dealing with people.
You certainly have that right.
Your opinions dont get a pass simply for being of a political nature.No one is ever protected from judgements simply for being "political", they are protected because of their nature. You are welcome to disagree on conservative or liberal terms all you ant, and yes it would be wrong to attack someone for being a conservative. But if they straight up tell me "us american should be deported" you will not have my respect regardless of if that opinion is a poliical one or not.
Regardless, the respect I give others is not measured by the respect I receive. And I have no shame in not respecting a person who wishes harm on other people, and never will.
