They are ignoring the basic precepts of the constitution, have rendered Congress' authority to set budgets as moot, are threatening the judiciary and the press. I can't believe how sanguine this thread is. This is an absolute crisis.
We'll never know the true nature of the commenters on HN. However I do wonder how many are useful idiots, propagandists, disinformation spreaders, or trolls.
It is a crisis. Discarding any political leanings, just the economic fallout from this is going to be felt for years. Do none of these supporters have a 401k or savings?
Then he should spend the rest of his life in prison. And it has always been legal to revoke citizenship for naturalized citizens who also have citizenship in another country.
All three citizenships? He's triple nationality, US, Canadian, South African.
I thought that wasn't allowed under US law? That you allow dual, but if you're already dual and want to become a US cotizen, you have to give up one of the other two?
Thinking about it, I won't be surprised if Canada takes his Canadian-ness away. Too close to Trump, who is repositioning the US to be a direct military threat.

This was during the overturning of Roe v Wade.
I can pull out statements from Greene suggesting execution as a quicker way to remove Nancy Pelosi.
But Greene perhaps is just too easy. Trump has had some choice words too, eg after the inaugural prayer service, he called the reverend a "Radical Left hard line Trump hater"
And lest people forget, the right - globally - plays offense. We would all love a truce for sure, I'd love to see it happen.
Edit: I’ve seen this happen in a few threads. Examples of uncivil things being said by democrats.
Except the examples are shorn of context, and typically it’s under a situation of immense duress. The Dem base today would want their representatives to say more forceful things - if only to reach PR parity.
Elon is hoping to impeach a judge, who is enforcing the law, and what remains of the balance of powers.
Saying this politely doesn’t pardon the act, nor does it delegitimize genuine outrage from an outrageous event.
Losing reproductive rights, creating a global security crisis, are disastrous things.
