    “Expel”

    But he can’t - esp. not across party lines. Last time I looked the US government still called itself democratic.

    But it’s becoming the normal way of doing politics over there? At least for his constituency I guess. They really believe POTUS should have the right to do this Expelling. It not being possible then becomes an example of how the other side “weaponizes” the law.

    I like that “deranged” is now a standard adjective in most any Trump article.

      We’re in fascism times.

      Trump can legally kill people. Literally. He can point a gun in 5th Avenue and shoot someone and New York Court, SCOTUS, and his base, will all let him.

      We cannot make arguments as if laws apply to this man because they simply don’t.

      So when he says words like “expel”, we need to understand that he will try everything in his power, including things that are illegal to normal people like you and me, to accomplish his will.

      Buddy, we are through the looking glass.

      He can do pretty much whatever the fuck he wants because nobody is stopping him.

      Watch him literally “deport” these people
