      Deport Germans to… Germany?

      Of course not. It’s to the camps. The big one in a foreign country that was just requested to be expanded for all the citizens they intend to put there.

          Unfortunately this time the Germans will have to remove their leader from power, as this time the Nazis have nukes.

          There will be no D-Day on the East Coast orchestrated by NATO or anyone else. Nobody will come from abroad to stop this one, unless the world somehow gets the balls to commit. To say “Either stop this, or end us all, your don’t get to continue. We’re coming for you and we’re going to kill you, whether by our own hands or by Armageddon you will die. We’re ready to launch everything if you do.”

            I may just be naive, but I think that people around the world are now really experiencing climate change and they are starting to realize there may be no future for any of us.

            And that is causing most people to question why they are working so hard, tired of being advertised at, stressed and miserable-- all because the billionaires don’t want the status quo to change.

            It feels like the grift is getting harder for them. And after being worshipped for their fortunes for decades, now they are struggling to accept they are in fact the villains and doing the most insane stupid shit like Katy Perry hoping to buy positive attention back.

            But it ain’t working too well.

      You think the U.S. will offer a compensation for whatever country willing to take them? That’s only way I can see this work.

      So basically they want to do what the British did to their criminals for Australia. Except now it’s not even “their own” territory.

      No, but it’s telling that everyone in the committee would vote for something like that. It would need a full house vote, a senate vote and a presidential signature to become law. Which is definitely possible with the current make up of Congress.

      And it’s not like you can count on the Supreme Court to strike something like that down even if it is blatantly unconstitutional.

        No, it would require a constitutional amendment. The 8th and 14th Amendments block exile as a punishment

          Not with this Supreme Court. They’ve been happy to ignore the actual letter and intent of the constitution before. Democrats/liberals need to get out of the mindset that the law still matters to these people, it doesn’t. You’ll be lucky if the midterms still happen in 2026.

            There is an international law against removing all national ties to an individual. You cannot exile them from all countries with no home country. It’s much bigger than the constitution at this point.

              Ah yes, I’m sure the international law police is going to break down Trump’s door and arrest him when he tries.

                  Who will step in? If Trump ships Americans to Guantanamo or El Salvador, who is going to do anything about it? If the past is any guide, even Democrats wouldn’t go after Trump if they somehow manage to get in power again.
