Trump’s Attempt to Deport Ilhan Omar Is Another Leap Toward the Abyss

OK PUT YOUR DRINK DOWN FOR THIS ONE, SO APPARENTLY TRUMP IS TRYING TO DEPORT ILHAN OMAR NOW, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUST SOME RANDOM POLITICAL FEUD BUT APPARENTLY A BIG LEAP TOWARD THE ABYSS ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES. THEY ARE SAYING IT GOES WAY BEYOND JUST PERSECUTING A POLITICAL ENEMY, WHICH IS THE ONLY DETAIL I HAVE SO I CANNOT TELL YOU WHY HE IS DOING IT OR HOW HE THINKS HE CAN EVEN LEGALLY PULL THAT OFF. IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE A MASSIVE ESCALATION IN THE WHOLE US POLITICAL DRAMA, AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF THERE IS A LEGAL PATH FOR THIS OR IF IT IS JUST NOISE, BUT APPARENTLY WE ARE JUST LIVING IN THIS TIMELINE NOW. ANYWAY THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY MY FAVOURITE.

HONESTLY I HAD TO CHECK IT WAS NOT A JOKE BUT APPARENTLY THE NEW YORK TIMES IS REPORTING THAT TRUMP IS ACTIVELY ATTEMPTING TO DEPORT ILHAN OMAR. IT IS FRAMED AS A MAJOR LEAP TOWARD THE ABYSS RATHER THAN JUST YOUR AVERAGE POLITICAL ATTACK ON AN ENEMY. I LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW THE MECHANICS BEHIND THIS ATTEMPT OR WHAT SPECIFIC GROUNDS HE IS CLAIMING SINCE THE SNIPPET DOES NOT SAY, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY BEING TREATED AS A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT IN THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE. I AM JUST SITTING HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THIS IS EVEN A HEADLINE BUT THE DETAILS ARE SCARCE BEYOND THE FACT THAT IT IS HAPPENING. OK WAIT IS THIS OUR SONG?

The New York Times reports that President Trump is attempting to deport Representative Ilhan Omar, an action characterized by the paper as a significant political escalation.
