Top Trump official Stephen Miller’s recent declaration that anyone who “preaches hate for America” will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.
…
Social media users and legal analysts raised immediate concerns, pointing out that expressing dissent or criticism of the government is protected under the First Amendment. Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.
…
The backlash has reignited broader debates over the limits of free speech, especially as civil liberties fall under scrutiny. While immigration enforcement remains a core theme of President Donald Trump’s platform, critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller’s is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.
FUCK AMERICA FUCK TRUMP FUCK NAZIS FUCK ALL YOU SCUMBAGS COME AFTER ME
This kind of speech that Miller is speaking sounds very unamerican to me, so let’s deport him first.
“We don’t need no first amendment” (with apologies to Pink Floyd)
"How can you have any rights without the Constitution!? " (still in the Floyd vein)
If they destroy the first, use the second. That’s why it was ratified!
It wasn’t. At all. And you can clearly see armed people aren’t lining up to stop a clearly lawless authoritarian tyrant from holding power over them.
This all just got started. People are still hoping something changes before they have to commit murder. By next summer, the attitude will be different.
Just started? Are you fucking joking?
The law was put on place to maintain a standing US military, which was used to crush rebellions. People aren’t attacking the government to put down tyranny. That’s not a function of the US legal system.
That is a gross perversion if the 2nd Amendment, and the exact opposite of the intention if the Founding Fathers.
In a letter of thanks for a copy of the new Constitution, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In the same letter, he also wrote:
God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion.
In the same letter he also made an extremely prescient statement that seems to predict the rise of MAGA’s adherance to the Conservative Propaganda Machine:
The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
He was clearly in favor of rebellion, especially since he was instrumental in the rebellion that created America, and they clearly meant the 2nd Amendment to protect us from tyranny by giving us the means to rebel.
Free means all.
Rise, or fall.
Laws are only words on paper if no one bothers to enforce it. Even moreso when it comes to constitutions.
Skipping the first amendment would be making some speech illegal. With like a law and courts. They are also skipping the 5th, which would be due process.
The Founding Fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment as a protection against anyone who would take away any of the other amendments. These people are DARING us to use it.
If congress doesn’t impeach and remove, I don’t see any other way this shit will end.
Well they have abandoned the Constitution
Why would they care?
He’s been in office 3 months. Please kill me, make it quick
Just start yelling about supporting Palestine. It’ll probably happen
Fuck him.
With a rusty pipe. I preach hate for America, were the baddies. Come get me pussy.
This is my country. I don’t hate the country but the trash humans who have grifted their way into power. Just like a nasty shit they to will pass into the sewers.
critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller’s is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.
I dunno folks. we certainly don’t have any other examples of Trump policies or behavior that might support this notion. I’m glad they are just “increasingly questioning” it.
Maybe when the concentration camps start showing up on US soil that will be enough.
The media is going to question and further legitimize this fascist state right up until their networks go down because other nations are bombing us. It’s up to Americans to stop this travesty before it gets that far…”they”, ie media pundits or current crop of political leaders, are not going to do it for us.
They’re not going to be on US soil. There’s a reason the Nazis built there’s in foreign soil as well. If people are being rounded up into camps, they really have nothing to lose at that point. If you build them on US soil, you legitimately have to worry about crowds of heavily armed Americans showing up to liberate people from them. If you’re going to get sent to a camp anyway, you have nothing to lose taking up arms against them. It’s a lot more difficult to try and liberate a concentration camp in El Salvador.
If they’re on US soil then no one can get in the way to prevent these people from being released, by sending them to another country it’s much more easy to say “Nothing I can do!”
Yeah and much better than having Cuban intelligence report on all your crimes against humanity in GITMO.
Wow, what a dumb thing to claim when you have surrounded yourself with “free speech absolutists”. They are going to lose it on him, right? …. Right?
Fuck you Mr Miller. Fuck what you and yours are doing to my country. I hate it. I fucking dare you to deport me.
I hate America tbh have not stood for the anthem in over a decade.
I haven’t either. People are stupid because they wanted to lose all we have.
So we can’t criticize the country we were born and raised in without “wanting to lose all we have”? Sounds like some bootlicking bullshit to me.
Never said that. Just that you were stupid if you didn’t understand that there is a baby in the bathwater.
Yeah and Trump wants to deport it while it’s drowning.
I don’t, I just want to lose the Republicans. And the purists who would rather have Trump than support Harris. And people who Vape.
Free means all.
Rise, or fall.
To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt
They ARE traitors. Russian-backed, Nazi-seig-heil throwing traitors. They aren’t joking about wanting to jail liberals. They 100% mean it.
They’ve been prepped to be fine with it since they started calling “liberalism a mental disorder.”
Straight Russian propaganda. The Kremlin wants to stamp out western liberal democracy. MAGA’s the push to destroy America
Why have the billionaires not prevented it? Project 2025 was known. Billionaires will lose huge parts of their wealth when the USA collapses and Russia or China take over.
Billionaires are not our allies. And some of them are genuinely stupid enough to have thought they could contain what was going on that it was just gonna be more tax cuts for them. They, like the public, didn’t all actually believe it would be true. They are not inherently smarter or more immune to propaganda than we are.
They just have more access to information - if they don’t surround themselves with people that are only yes men and such.
Other billionaires are betting on the collapse, and are willing to take less monetary power, to have more literal power if they can create their own city states. Literally what they’re hoping for.
They are short sighted, stupid, arrogant, heartless… and, many, traitors.
Some need to be made an example of.
But we accept those who ask for forgiveness. I’m not saying to actually forgive them. Or to re-establish normal lives with them. Other people can do that work.
But they do have to have SOME kind of off-ramp, or you might as well be making the same arguments that MAGA are when they claim “liberalism is a mental illness and should be jailed.”
cause they didnt think it would fail.
They thought they’d buy the country for pennies on the dollar and carve it up into their own little capitalist nightmare fiefdoms.
This can’t be the plan. Only land with sea ports would be acceptable in that situation. Every other fiefdom would be taxed by their neighbors into poverty unless they unite again.
For sure there are stupid billionaires but the top 100 won’t follow a plan that can be rebuked easily.
Vast swathes of the USA is accessible by navigable river ever since the Louisiana purchase. It’s one of the three main original reasons the USA was so powerful economically before Trump.
This only works if the rivers aren’t taxed. How could anybody trust that that doesn’t happen? That’s why I specified sea ports.
because you enter an economic cold war, very much like trump is doing right now with china, where the port people demand taxes, and the middle america people just embargo them and don’t give them any food/minerals/etc.
and you see how much they are loving that happening right now.
They don’t want to fuck eachother. They just want to fuck you and me.
Billionaires will be absolutely fine if they never make another penny and even if they lose 99% of their money in some stock market complete and final death. Millionaires are worried, but they aren’t the ones with the real power.
It’s not the same. Why should they give up their power without a fight? They must believe that they at least maintain their power and wealth.
Yes. They do. And they’re right. They’ll be fine. Billionaires will be absolutely fine. The stock market crash doesn’t worry them. Not even a little bit.
They’re still incomprehensibly richer than millionaires in the same way that someone with an office job, a flat, a TV, games console and a car who goes out to eat on the regular is incomprehensibly richer than someone who lives under a piece of sheet metal next to a rubbish tip and scavenges for food.
Yet when the office worker is informed that his car is going to burn down or somebody will come into his house and smash his TV, he will take action.
Billionaires identify with their property. They won’t simply accept that it melts down.
But billionaires are so desperately unlike the office worker. You know, how if someone took your penny, you wouldn’t worry. And in fact they could take a penny from you every day for three years and now you’re down a whole ten dollars but it just simply isn’t an issue. You know that a thousand times as much as you’ve lost will be turning up in the next few months. That’s how billionaires relate to a million dollars. A million. It’ll show up for them in the next month or two. They’re not worried. Why would they worry about money? You don’t worry about pennies, they don’t worry about millions. Stop thinking that billionaires worry about money.
Now if the entire global capitalist system were to completely crumble, then that’s an issue, but that’s absolutely not what’s happening. Billionaires are almost incomprehensibly wealthy and a crash of 10% just doesn’t matter. At all. There are other countries than the USA and they’ll absolutely leave if necessary. They spend plenty of time in their overseas properties anyway for tax purposes. Borders are for ordinary people.
Ok, but what about critics of the zio regime? Both “parties” agree that they should be kidnapped and encaged, right?
Zionist Democrats want to fine you and repress you in financial ways. They want to “tut tut” you for being anti-Semitic.
Zionist Republicans want to put you (and immigrants, and LGBT, and dissenters) in a death camp.
And the death camp is only a formality. If they thought they could get away with it, they’d have the police gun you down in the street and start issuing death warrants.
bUt wHaTaBoUt……
Nope. Jailing anyone without due process/etc is un American. We talked before.
We are on the same side. If you’re not a bad actor, I encourage you to take a more constructive approach to this discussion.
When Hamas very first attacked, I was on Israel’s side. Not everyone is as educated on Israel’s influence on our politics/etc. (fuck Israel. They can figure shit out on their own. I don’t want to fund genocide. Period.)
