That's a chonky leopard, so much chonk
“I haven’t seen Mexico since I was four,” Ceballos said. “I don’t speak Spanish anymore. If I get deported, it would wreck my life.”
Oh no!... hahahahahahahaha get fucked your racist piece of shit
the only shame is that it's happening to this schlub and not the creator of the entire shit show.
The problem is that a 54-year old Kansas mayor is somehow technically not a citizen, after living here for decades.
That makes no sense.
He shouldn't have voted, and should have known not to, but he didn't expect this because he's stuck in a system that's been screwed up for decades. One that Congress won't reform precisely to leverage it as a wedge issue like this. And now that debt has come due.
Ceballos also acknowledged that he “probably” voted for Kobach and former president Donald Trump several times because he automatically selects the candidates with an “R” beside their names.
Absolute fucking numpty here.
Doesn't that make "vote blue, no matter who" an equally dumb thing to do?
Why yes, it's undoubtedly equally moronic.
Yes. Voting straight ticket is for lazy people who can't be bothered to look up who their voting for. Or for cult members of either side. Unfortunately many states (like the one I'm in) only allow you to vote for one party in the primaries, when most normal people would want to vote different people for different positions based on their individual policies. We should vote for people, not parties.
Open primaries. Rank-choice voting. Abolish the EC.
Also, a socialist revolution
Closed primaries are so fucking stupid.
The SS went after the original Hitler loyalists first
Night of the long knifes
A little-known fact is that Hitler's purge of Ernst Roehm and other brownshirts acquired the name "Night of the Long Knives" because Hitler used the phrase (which dates to medieval times) to describe what Roehm allegedly had planned for Hitler in a speech shortly after the event. Hitler never intended his own actions to be called that.
Röhm was also gay
Fascists always projecting.
It is a pretty rad name for something ngl

I read the comments. Its hard to spot but you can just make out the republicans. /s
I know you’re a democrat and thus don’t care about holding dems to account, but don’t think that republicans are equally lawless.
Fuckin ridiculous trash, Dems are the only ones who resign in shame after almost any scandal. Republicans have no shame it's why they never resign after a scandal, unless they're caught with a dead girl or a live boy.
Not even scandals. the fucking Dean Scream.
or Al Franken.
Only time Republicans resign is when they see the shit heading for the fan, and they step out of the way to stay out of the spray.
Which is why you see so many Republicans quitting leading up to the midterms.
After 50 years on a green card, he never applied for citizenship?!
I guess this question supports the theory that he never knew the difference between the two.
It's depressing to think someone could be so misinformed.
Apparently he's been illegally voting the whole time, so it never made a difference to him.
No one ever accused Americans of being smart.
I'm receiving word that according to a lot of people this guy isn't even an American so he can't use that excuse.

The sheer stupidity of this guy. He wants position, image and power, at the expense of (checking notes), people just like him.
If I get deported, it would wreck my life.
He was all for it when it was wrecking someone else's life.

LOLOLOL! Zero sympathy you stupid racist fucknut and you should have maintained your Spanish.
Spanish is one of the easier languages to learn so he's got that going for him
He says:
I always loved Trump, this is unfair
That just shows how these idiots think. His opinion on Trump and his legal position regarding citizenship are in fact completely separate. But they don't see this.
They think along the lines of "The state shouldn't punish me, I am on the right side". That's the sort of underlying mental model of the world they have. It's unfathomable.

I do not understand the cult of personality around Donald Trump he's the least appealing looking human who has ever existed, surely they could have found a more attractive cult leader. Most cults do.
Also how do you manage to get into politics and simultaneously be completely politically inept? You just get a free pass in the US if you just turn up?

i haven't been to Mexico since i was four. i don't speak Spanish. this would wreck my life!
awww, yeah? so now that you're being directly impacted by Trump's policies they've gone too far? could this have been avoided by not supporting a fascist perhaps? hmm..
