As a US citizen, it’s never been hostile towards me. In fact, I would imagine most people have had little to no engagement with the federal government (outside of the routine items: taxes, etc…) Now, their state government may be a different story.

I had my comments deleted by some authoritarian nerd mod on one of those star trek communities for shitting on Discovery. Apparently, by having a negative opinion, I wasnt creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Are people really buying into this 51st state nonsense? It’s never going to happen. Orange man is a legit professional shit talker. Damn near everything he states shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’ve easily learned to ignore his words and simply focus on his actions.

Finally, a fucking sense of humor. Like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

By “here” do you mean Lemmy? And the suns are just complaining? Because if so then yes, I agree.

Props for using a Land Before Time template. Yup yup.

You are bordering on arguing in bad faith. Keep it civil or I’m gone.

You said, deport, not detain, which are two very different things. Either you can or cannot provide a evidence of a veteran being deported. I find it odd you quickly ignored the lack of evidence that a veteran has been deported when you yourself made the claim.

And to address your question, no, of course not. Mistakes, like with any process, will happen. A person illegally losing their freedom, even for a short period of time, is one of the most egregious crimes, in my opinion. Obviously said violator (in this case, the federal government) should be held accountable (e.g. the victims can sue).

I googled “veteran deported” for anything in the past month.

I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.

Can it? Sure. Literally anything can happen. A black hole could suddenly appear and engulf our planet. A meteorite could impact our planet and destroy it. Billionaires could suddenly grow a conscious and give away the majority of their money. However, the likelihood of any of these, or my government kicking down my door and deporting me for absolutely no reason, is extremely improbable.

Nothing is going to happen. And in 4 years, when your life, and the life of most legal citizens, hasn’t been impacted by anything the current administration does (just like the last one), you’ll all look back and realize you how foolish you were acting. Well, probably not, because such a thing takes self reflection, but I’m sure a few of them will.

Occupying an entire world while you rape their people and land/resources? Don’t be retarded.

Well I’ll tell ya what. When the government comes to take me away for doing nothing, and I manage to get my hands on an internet connected device, you’ll be my first contact, just so I can say, you were right. But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, especially if you’re a member of a species that requires the inhalation of oxygen.

Also, BRB, gotta go commit my daily felony.

I’m sure this imaginary scenario works on most of the boobs that comprise the user base of this platform, but that’s not going to work here. I’m a legal citizen of my country. I’m not a criminal. I’m not going anywhere.

Furthermore, the fAsCiSm boogie man is old, tired, and trite.

And why should I make any deportation difficult? It has nothing to do with me.
