Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Bradley Bartell's wife, Camila Muñoz, is a Peruvian citizen who overstayed her initial visa but was working toward obtaining permanent residency in the United States.

Despite the couple's ordeal, Bartell still supports Trump, who has vowed to conduct the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. "I don't regret the vote," Bartell told Newsweek in an exclusive statement.

We like to think that the Trumpers just need to experience the consequences of their actions to be reachable, and indeed some do. But there are lots more who will be like this guy. "Sucks that my wife's face got ate by leopards, but I wanna see all the illegals get their faces eaten." Unaware that his face may be next, but if it does happen, he'll insist the leopards were all Democrats.

"Best thing to happen to me in years. Finally got the house to myself and I can do whatever I want! Why would I regret my vote?" - Man who hates his wife

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The type of man who doesn't regret using his waistband as a holster even after blowing one of his nuts off. Unbelievable.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 4 points 8 hours ago

He probably turned her in

"Regarding Trump, Bartell said: "He didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is.""

hahaha, actually, dumdum....

Fucking delusional.

This fucker's wife should run far and fast.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago

Unfortunately she can probably only run several feet in any direction while detained.

That's because he still believes he's going to succeed with his appeal. The delusions last for a long time with these folks. He likely put in a hardship appeal to bypass her ban on re-entry for however many years due to overstaying her visa. And he actually believes this administration will sign off on it.

A successful appeal in a past administration could take well over a year. He's truly fucked under Trump who's actively firing judges that approve too many waivers in their opinion and making the backlog even longer. He's not wrong that the system has been fundamentally broken and nonsensical. He's an exceptional idiot for thinking Trump is going to improve it though.

Edit: https://www.uscis.gov/i-601 is what I'm talking about

[–] socphoenix@midwest.social 6 points 13 hours ago

It’s a ten year ban unless the appeal is successful

Arrest him for aiding a criminal.

[–] jhymesba@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Imagine the squealing if they arrest him for aiding and abetting a criminal...
