That's true.

 

There's probably something else he could do instead.

I don’t think it can have anything to do with not giving citizenship to those born in the US because the parents are not citizens.  The 14th amendment is clear on this

It is and I'm not disputing that.  He's got more tricks in his hat than there are gallons of water in Lake Superior.

 

So, just wait for it.

He can have his minions in Congress present it.  Eventually, at least 38 states would have to ratify it.  Unless, of course, SCOTUS says he has every right to make changes 'cause he's POTUS - but that would create a real problems.

I'm not putting anything past him or his cabal.  He's going to make Nixon look saintly.

He can not.  All he can do is interpret the amendment in a way that assumes the less restrictive interpretation.  Even his cum guzzling SCOTUS sycophants can’t justify that .

Before the states vote to ratify I think they have to vote to even meet to do it.

Yeah, I was skipping some steps.  

But maybe Trump's right?  Hear me out...he gets his wish and after a lengthy process lasting 4 years, he gets his wish and it is ratified the day after his term ends. 

He is immediately deported to Germany by the next administration.

But then I have to worry about being deported to Kazigstan and I can’t even spell that

We'll deport you to Kaukauna, WI. - close enough.

He also talked about annexing Mexico. I hate to tell him, then Mexicans in the country illegally would be…legal. They would be deported to…the USA. It’s a 4D chess situation.

Chris Wray announced he's stepping down as FBI director just before the guy who basically promised to fire him takes office. So much for do not obey in advance. No worries at least about anyone injuring their spines in Washington, since looks as if no one there's got any these days.

Just a reminder of how similar Trump really is to Hitler.

Mary Trump? A grifter? How exactly? Cuz she broke with the rest of her family a long time ago, and I don't recall her ever of having been accused of any kind of fraud.

I lump her in with the 'resist libs' grifters, those who got popular and then monetized their adjacency to relevance (e.g. the "mueller she wrote" lady). The folks where every other post they make is "[comment about the latest shocking news] and what it means for Trump and Democracy. If you subscribe to my website, you can read my analysis in full."

Unless I'm totally mistaken and she's not charging anyone anything to subscribe to her. But people who use that framing just trigger me, it's literally DJT in reverse.

[Dark_Cloud_Overhead]

Where's the grift though? She's not fooling or tricking anyone; she's just sharing her viewpoints. If people want to subscribe or even pay her, or buy her books to read them, that's no different than subscribing to the local newspaper. There's absolutely no grift in any of that.

[Raptorpat]

Maybe grift is a strong word, but I guess I disagree. She was an interesting figure in that she's from the inside and all that background, and it was interesting to hear her viewpoint about him and their ongoing family drama up to a point. Sympathetic figure and the schadenfreude and all that.

But the eventual shift to every tweet just teasing the tip of some story about every twist and turn to hawk of her subscription-based website to read the full thing was such a turn-off. It feels like a very Trumpy turn to take, like proof that they are related.

But I'm also probably overharsh because I kind of resent that whole chronically online "resist lib" ecosphere that I'm lumping her in with.

She isn't a grifter by any metric, but I do get your repulsion to her tactics.  For me, it's always been obvious that she wants to take the Trumps down in revenge for how they destroyed her father and she isn't above dangling carrots to keep us interested.

Those pardoned Thursday had been convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offenses and turned their lives around, White House lawyers said. They include a woman who led emergency response teams during natural disasters; a church deacon who has worked as an addiction counselor and youth counselor; a doctoral student in molecular biosciences; and a decorated military veteran.

 

i want to see every weed slinger, any grower , and caught with x amount of marijuana, pardoned. 

[André Toulon]

Locking people up for nonviolent drug offenses is so dumb when this country is literally fueled by drugs.

It doesn't mean they think he's the best person of the year, just the most influential. Literally Hitler was once person of the year.

It’s fuckin stupid to give people like him that type of attention at all. Idw to hear this fuckin shit for the next eleventy billion years about how he’s “Time’s Person of the Year” because he’s gonna say it’s because he’s so fuckin great.  Just perfect. Four million years of his vomit shit talk

I think it shows journalistic integrity, something that seems to be undervalued in today's world of highly personalized algorithms and shit. Trump with his megalomania can interpret it however he wants. I do believe he represents the current state of the world, for the worst of course.

Idk about “journalistic integrity” Marc Benioff the owner is just another billionaire tech bro stroking Trump’s ego for some more tax cuts.

He said in the Time interview that he can't actually make grocery prices go down.
