Trump, and Republicans in general, love destroying anything Obama did or cares about.

Remember though that Trump often says things just because they make his crowds cheer. Also, although he had almost 5 years he never even managed to release an outline of a plan, though I do think they are preparing much more for a second term.

And Israel has murdered and mutilated women on every day since then.

It seems more like a wanton disregard for civilian casualties. Blowing up entire apartment towers because they believe one or more people there were valid targets is unacceptable but not technically targeting civilians.

What's going to happen? They will get exactly what they want, which is students being taught what they want them to believe. It's an academic coup.

If you don't pay them well, only the wealthy can afford it.

I'm guessing she means "those lazy bums won't even work overtime without extra pay"

When a psycho cop in the department shoots an innocent kid in the back, the other cops will have to decide either to plant a gun on him or have their their retirement funds drained by a lawsuit.

That gives every cop a financial motive to lie for each other, cover up incidents and silence witnesses.

I wouldn't take any of their claims seriously.

How long has the administration known about this case? It sounds like the guy is just finding out himself.

Is there even a legal process for the administration to un-revoke his citizenship? Maybe the only legal means to reverse this is for him to sue and the courts to overturn it?

The Trump Administration has launched a denaturalization operation—a project to strip a large
number of Americans of their citizenship. Denaturalization is a drastic measure that should only
be taken in the most extreme circumstances. But the administration is dramatically expanding
denaturalization, using questionable standards and proceedings. As with many other
components of its agenda, the Trump administration is discarding longstanding legal norms and
protections by adding U.S citizens to its list of targeted individuals, and thereby sending the
message that no one is safe in the United States of America.
These efforts to strip citizenship from Americans are systemic and chilling. They have made
U.S. citizens fearful that mistakes made years ago on their past applications could be used to
target them, take away their citizenship, and destroy their lives. The Trump administration’s
denaturalization efforts have made lawful permanent residents scared to pursue citizenship and
fully engage civically. What was once a celebratory moment recognizing an immigrant’s
integration into American life now comes with an undercurrent of fear and suspicion. The Trump
administration yet again uses draconian and constitutionally questionable tactics in pursuit of its
nationalist vision of who belongs in the United States.
