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..

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

They think they're special and they can do anything they want because they're republican.

What do you MEAN I'm out of the in-group? I was in the in-group.

For those smarter among us, this is why we want laws that apply fairly to everyone.

I don't want a world where crimes are expected, and you just have to continually manage whose good graces you're in in order to survive.

You'd think billionaires of the 1990s would agree, but they can 10x their money if they just avoid falling out of windows.

How was he supposed to know that ALL THE IMMIGRANTS would include him?!

"This is unfair," says man who suddenly experiences actual fairness for the first time.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 months ago

The common theme is people who think they're the in-crowd bullying outsiders, discovering that no, they were never in the in-crowd, the in-crowd just told them they were for as long as it was convenient.

If you're even slightly any category of minority, and you vote Republican thinking that they'll count you as one of their own, then you've not paid attention in history class.

But they could be Kapos in the camps.

It's difficult to understand how a permanent resident would think he's a citizen and therefore eligible to vote.

I'm also questioning why the state of Kansas didn't verify his voter registration in any way.

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Right? What happened in his civics/U.S. government classes, he just thought the voting rules didn't apply to him? All the other people who moved to the States from Mexico by the time they were four, yes, just not him.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Some states allow non citizens to vote in non federal elections. I don't know the rules for Kentucky.

Apparently neither does he.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You mean Kansas?

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oh, both are easy to answer:

Because he's a dumbass Republican.

... but I repeat myself.

He may not be the dumbest fucking idiot on the planet. However he ought to pray very hard that person doesn’t die.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Is that an original? It's very good.

[-] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Not original, just a term I haven’t heard in quite a spell.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Supporter and member of life-wrecking party is upset the party will wreck his life. Boo fucking hoo.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

The only moral illegal immigration is my illegal immigration!

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

Us vs them. Nothing else computes for them. Your actions don't matter.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

A repugnantcan politician facing felony voter fraud? I'll give that the same probability as the sun rising tomorrow morning

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Get fucked.

Signed, the decent third of the US (/sigh)

Oh my god, this guy in particular can truly go fuck himself with a rake.

Goddamn, what an insanely priveleged hypocritical dumbass.

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 8 points 3 months ago

Oh man, that's pretty rough Joe.

What I will do, is gather up all the empathy that you expressed for ICE victims before this happened to you, and then use exactly the same amount of concern for your wellbeing.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Best I can do is zero empathy, and a healthy dose of schadenfreude.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 months ago

I really need to stop just setting it down when I'm done, cause I'm tired of looking for it. Hang on…

All right. Here's my tiniest violin…

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Mmm, prime face meat.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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.

Lol! So...this guy is proof that what Donald Trump has been saying about immigrants voting illegally, is true?

You just can't make this shit up.

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago
[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

It's just really funny, that every time there's an actual example of the things they accuse Democrats of doing...it's always a Republican doing it.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 months ago

Somehow an elected government official doesn’t know a really basic law.

[-] drewaustin@piefed.ca 5 points 3 months ago

What kind of ad infested hellscape is that blog?

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

“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

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Hahahahahaha. This is just the best. Newsflash "Leopard dies from overeating"

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 3 months ago

Aside from the main point of the article, how the fuck does it happen that someone votes since 1991 even though he's not eligible?

Does no one check that? Where I live, they have a list of people who can come to a vote in that specific region and unless you can present an official ID proving you're that person, you can't vote.

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Every accusation is an admission with Republicans

That guy is literally the criminal element that the Republicans have been speaking out about for years. It sounds like he should be spending some time in jail before being deported. Luckily he admitted his crime in public and on the record so a case against him should go even smoother than a regular one.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving fellow.

I'm an immigrant who committed multiple counts of voter fraud just like the GOP says. That is why I am a Republican, they're right about who we are.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago
[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

So the voter fraud was actually there, but supporting Trump?
