The magnitude of Trump's personal corruption and the monetizing of the presidency by him and his family have no precedent in US history.

It takes a total peasant mentality, or some weird cultish devotion, to defend or excuse this, especially if you objected to corrupt Biden transactions (as I did). It's on a completely different scale.

Trump set up a crypto company (World Liberty Financial) 4 days before his inauguration, then had the UAE pour hundreds of millions into his pockets for 49% of it, then gave rewards to the UAE. Jared getting $2 billion from the Saudis. On and on and on.

Genuinely insane stuff. The law will require the pentagon to make itself dependent on Israel. Israeli tech, Israeli AI systems etc will be integrated into all the highest classification functions of the US military. They lost the public opinion war so now they’re going to set it up so any future anti-Israel president will be deposed in a military coup

[Kentucky Statesman @ky_statesman]

This is high treason.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

Great point, Brandon. We can start by deporting your father-in-law, a literal third-world criminal who has contributed nothing of value to American society outside stoking hatred, and your wife, an anchor baby. Unless that’s diffe(R)ent?

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Remigration is a term used by Nazis and white supremacists, now totally normalized by Republicans.

Congrats, America.

[Warren @swd2]

Republicans went from “don’t tread on me” to “please daddy Trump give us a police state” real damn fast.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

70 years ago, people like this were raging about having to let black students into their whites-only schools. 125 years ago, they were raging about the Irish and the Italians being permitted to live here. 175 years ago, they were running riot in Kansas to make it a slave state.

[Robert (Durden) @realrobdurden]

Why the fuck are we Americans celebrating our “Independence”?? We are clearly not independent. Israel controls Us. Period. They have infiltrated every aspect of American life. Our politics, media, etc, all controlled by Israel. July 4th is a complete joke until we get Israel out.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

DSA momentum is real but also I think voters in deep blue districts have just watched deep red seats elect insane far-right candidates for a decade now and finally feel like they should be allowed to do the same thing with some socialists.

🚨NEWS: Republican Rep. Tom Kean repeatedly voted against legislation to give Americans paid family/medical leave, before Kean took 4 months of paid medical leave from Congress for depression - all while somehow finding the time to raise himself $160,000 worth of campaign cash.

Still can't believe people wanted me to feel bad for this guy

[Congressman Shri Thanedar @RepShriThanedar]

Steven Crowder grew up in Canada, where he lived throughout his childhood, and didn't move to America until he was an adult.

But because he was born in America, he enjoys the benefits of birthright citizenship.

Instead of using that benefit to try to make our country better, he uses racist rhetoric to try to deprive others of the benefits of birthright citizenship that he gets to enjoy.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

We’ve had birth right citizenship for 157 years.

And, while Matt Walsh hates it, it takes only a few hours with an Ancestry subscription to find out it’s the only reason he is American.

Like nearly all Americans, within 2+ generations you’ll find that Matt’s relatives only became American by birthright citizenship.

They came from Ireland, Australia, England, Scotland and Austria.

Most of them *never* naturalized as citizens.

But their children born here became citizens.

“Ending birthright citizenship” isn’t about “illegals” if it was then Trump’s team would have had a more tailored argument and would have likely won today.

It’s fully kicking the ladder out from underneath you.

When people like Matt act as if they’ve got some right to the land of opportunity that you and your children don’t deserve.

The reality is, 80% of Americans today have ancestors who came to America and never naturalized between now and 1866.

And if you go back 2-4 generations in their family tree basically none of those relatives were in America.

Meaning they owe their own American status to the very policy they want to get rid of.

There is a hubris in thinking “just because my Grandparents were American we must have been American forever” when the only reason they were American is because of birthright citizenship.

[Lizzie K. Foley @LizzieKFoley]

I'm just going to point out that @CongressmanKean took approximately 644 hours of paid sick leave. He voted against giving his constituents 40.
