What a tough guy he is, being unable to handle the slightest criticism without throwing a tantrum.

"Should be deported" means "should be put in a concentration camp."

He also said the US should deport two members of congress but Huffpost deemed that was not headline worthy apparently

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

or "should kiss the ring"

The SOTU had insane Saddam/Stalin vibes. MMW if the GOP wins in 2028 the next SOTU will have arrests, if not summary executions.

Though the speech was ripe with overblown boasts and self-congratulations..

*rife

I should be a HuffPost editor

No, that’s rife. They sound similar, but ripe means mature.

You must mean this one:

6: ruddy, plump, or full like ripened fruit

a ripe figure

This one refers to the shape of something - an actual physical object. So like “full lips” but not like a “full head” (abstract) or a “full stomach” (a feeling)

A speech can’t be “ripe with” boasts in this sense.

HuffPo is basically reporting on what left ish twitter wits are saying.

Deport De Niro, who was born in New York?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Deport" for these fascists just means "get rid of", like the way the Nazis "deported" millions into gas chambers. That's the plan when the camps can't hold everyone. Remember, the DHS has indicated they want to "deport" one third of the US population, and that cannot mean resettling them:

I'm sure Mamdani wouldn't mind welcoming De Niro back to New York permanently.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 months ago

DeNiro is no saint. He is a rabid antivaxer because one of his kids is autistic and he continues to have kids over 80 despite the clear risks of autism. What kind of psychopath has kids just to die and leave them fatherless.

[-] degen@midwest.social 8 points 2 months ago

Lmao he's got the one risk factor we're really sure about and he's still blaming vaccines

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

DeNiro never left NY, he even setup a studio in Tribecca.

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Mebbies Trump was thinking of 'Old' York, as in the one in England

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

You know who used to be the Duke of York? The paedo formerly known as Prince Andrew.
Coincidence? I DON'T THINK SO!

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

DEPORT HIM AND ALL THE LIBERALS TO AN ISLAND...oh that's Manhattan.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Look at that last name, De Niro, that is obviously an unamerican foreign name. Therefore DEPORTABLE!
Now if he was called Robert Chad DudeMcHamburger then that's an american name and impossible to deport.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

sounds Irish

[-] hector@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

I would support it if first we remove New York from the Union, then deport former New Yorkers to New York. Could solve a lot of problems really. They do think they are special, let them see how special they are on their own, rather than the beating heart of the capitalist hellscape.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I had no idea Dr Niro made such a speech. Let's all go watch it!

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah I only know of it because of these articles though I have seen other articles about De Niro's opinion which makes me like him more. Though I don't know much of him besides he has entertained me greatly in multiple movie genres over the years.

Seems worth checking out.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

How dare he use his first amendment rights! DEPORT HIM!!!

Trump is just as unhinged as any North Korean dictator at this point.

[-] axh@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Deported to where? New York?

Underrated comment

[-] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

The president does not have the authority, and the executive branch does not have the authority, to deport citizens. Now naturalized they say they do because democrats and republicans decided to let them do that, because Israel, because of course it was about israel.

I feel like that's unconstitutional though, that it's a violation of separation of powers if nothing else, and at a minimum a trial by jury would need to decide deportation or no for a naturalized citizen.

The president, and his appointees, should not be targeting civilians, not for for criticizing them, not for anything directly like this, it's asymmetric, the powerful abusing people that can't fight back, in this case for using rights enshrined in the highest law of the land.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

As if not being allowed to do shit has stopped them from doing it anyways.

What's the amendment in the constitution about lack of papers not being suitable evidence for deportation? That hasn't stopped a god damned thing. First amendment? No trump just sues everyone and they all just accept it.

Rules don't mean shit if no one holds the ones ignoring them accountablep

[-] msfroh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Your first two sentences contradict each other.

They don't have the authority to deport citizens, but they do have the authority to deport naturalized (something)?

Naturalized what? Naturalization is the process of becoming a citizen. Do they have the authority to deport citizens or not?

[-] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

They've passed laws the past ten or so years allowing the executive to strip naturalized citizens, people from other countries that were granted citizenship, of their citizenship and deport them. Basically all because Israel as always. This administration is the only one to try and use those new authorities as I understand it.

The UK passed laws like this first, allowing them to strip citizenship and deport people to places they've never been, and rendering people stateless, well before the tories time in office too, 14 years that ended idk a year or two back.

Natural born citizens they have no authority over, until the scotus finds them an end run around the 14th at least, hard to see how they could but who knows at this point.
