Every single Dem politician should be screaming about this at the top of their lungs. This is a direct threat to them as well, but they’re not gonna do it.
Why?
Because AIPAC and their billionaire donors are telling them to stand down.
Establishment Dems put more effort into resisting Mamdani than they put into resisting Trump since 2016.
Can you share some source for this aipac claim? I mean, fuck aipac, but I just want to make sure we don’t go down the shouting about the evil Jewish billionaires controlling everything route.
Cuomo is one of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal defense team members. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of AIPAC for years.
Regardless, AIPAC gets all its special favors for terrorist state Israel by complete regulatory capture in the US. It’s how they’ve convinced Americans to give up their own constitutional right to free speech - if you criticize Israel too harshly, American gestapo will arrest you.
So, of course they consider Mamdani an existential threat. Once voters realize socialist policies help them in a tangible way instead of further funneling money to billionaires like Miriam Adelson, there is going to be a political reckoning resulting in AIPAC having no power and Israel being left to fend for itself without US intervention. They’re terrified of this scenario.
Democrats are obsessed with Israel. This ain’t hard evidence, but it’s telling
I think if you don’t know the roll AIPAC has played in modern politics, it’s on you to go get a baseline education. It s not something some one should have to educate you on in a short form post. They’ve played a transformative role in US politics and are practicing why we can’t have nice things as a country.
I’m not saying the interest isn’t valid, but I also feel like understanding AIPAC is table stakes in US politics
I’m not saying the influence of AIPAC isn’t important, but I feel like being a patronizing twat instead of seizing a moment to help educate someone on the topic isn’t a great way to welcome people to the cause.
They are the same group of billionaires. Just with different T-shirts to perform for the poor
“If Mamdani lied on his naturalisation documents, he doesn’t get to be a citizen, and he certainly doesn’t get to run for mayor of New York City. A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said in an October 29 news release, after asking US Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Mamdani.
Andy Ogles you are pathetic. Have you considered calling him a poopoo head?
Republican.
Ah!
Nazis did that to the Jews. First they’d torment them (check), then they’d strip them of their citizenship (almost there), then they’d “deport” them to camps (we got those, so check), then they’d exterminate them with Zyklon B (we’re not there yet, but soon).
then they’d exterminate them with Zyklon B (we’re not there yet, but soon).
How are we going to find out?
This article was 2 months ago. Are these people still missing?
It is fucking terrifying how quickly that shit got buried in the news cycle.
Ideally we intercede before it gets there
They’re already killing people. We totally will stand by and breath in the ashes while going to work.
I’m actually surprised there was no widespread attempt to claim Kamala Harris wasn’t a citizen like there was with Obama
Can they actually do that?? Someone please advise.
There’s a lot of shenanigans they could do within the law (not even mentioning the stuff they could do outside of the law):
If they “find” evidence of any crime committed before his oath ceremony, yes, it’s possible. Within 5 years of naturalization, if they “find” evidence of “terrorist” or “communist” associations, yes.
Also, denaturalization is not done in a criminal court, it’s a civil trial, below the “beyond reasonable doubt” standard of proof that a criminal trial would require. I’m not sure if a jury is even required.
Just an example: If they find a video of him smoking weed an hour before his oath ceremony, technically that could be used against him, marijuana is still illegal under the controlled substance act. Not sure how that would practically play out in court tho.
I’m actually kinda worried for myself. I have no idea exactly how clean/by-the-books my parent’s tax records are or if their taxes are even done correctly, if they did anything shady, and if it happened before my mom got citizenship, she could lose citizenship and I would lose it too. So… yea… no wonder why I can’t sleep these days.
Or they could extend the definition of “terrorist” enough that pretty much anyone they want to target will qualify. And who would defend a terrorist?
Who’s gonna stop them? The law has no bearing on their actions so far. It hasn’t been a year yet.
True.
I can’t tell if they’re high, or just really, really stupid.
Neither. Even their supporters aren’t this stupid. The politicians are lying, and their supporters are lying to us about being that stupid. They are literally fascists who are taking advantage of the benefit of the doubt extended by merely stupid people.
2025 Republicans are not adequately explained by stupidity - it is malice.
Racists gonna racism.
If it weren’t for peak desperation and hatred the GOP wouldn’t have anything. Except pedophiles that is
