@BasedSavannah@chiproytx@nedryun That image looks an awful lot like a threat, or encouraging people to unalive those two justices. @FBI please look into this.
@chiproytx No sir. The court ruled to uphold the 14th Amendment, as written! Quite frankly I'm surprised four justices chose to ignore the very plain text in the 14th Amendment confirming that anyone born in the USA is a citizen. The amendment says what it says.
@EricLDaugh That may have been the intent by the authors of the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately the plain text of the 14th Amendment says something quite different. We have to go by what the text of the Constitution is.
@TacticalDLions@AndrewKolvet@POTUS No. There are plenty of reasons not to like Birthright citizenship, but the Court ruled correctly. They are bound to uphold the Constitution, as written!
@AndrewKolvet That still doesn't change the plain text of the 14th Amendment which is very clear, anyone born in the USA is a US Citizen. There are very good reasons to oppose Birthright Citizenship, but the court should rule on what the Constitution says.
@Newsforce Not surprised. I don't like birthright citizenship, but the plain text of the 14th Amendment says what it says. Anyone born here is a citizen. End of story.
OMG
JFK Middle School in Massachusetts held an anti-ICE protest to campaign against Citizens Bank because they work with ICE
This protest was supported by Indivisible
Schools are teaching your kids to become radical left-wing activists and call to debank conservatives.

@LadDilgard@EndWokeness Don't blame SCOTUS. They ruled Congress failed to specify a deadline when ballots must be received, and SCOTUS is not going to arbitrarily set a deadline. They told Congress to do their job. It was absolutely a correct ruling. Now Congress needs to pass the Save America Act!

I’m supportive of international public health aid when it comes to cheap interventions like dispensing HIV and TB and malaria meds. (I am a lib 🤷♂️ .)
However, Kristof is just making everything worse.
First, you can’t hysterically crybully Americans into supporting these programs and trying to do so instead of making a calm, measured case just makes people reactive and oppositional because it’s so obviously a cynical, manipulative tactic.
Second, it’s not our responsibility to fill up anyone’s gas tank. All of these initiatives have to be completely reconsidered and our obligations need to be clearly defined. That Kristof can’t intuit that Americans would oppose filling foreign gas tanks demonstrates just how out of touch he is and that he’s bound to do more harm than good in attempting to propagandize on behalf of international public health.
Third, none of these vignettes meet even the most basic evidentiary standards to support his assertions. Furthermore, this isn’t how it’s done - big programs need to be supported by population level data and Kristof is obviously trying to be emotionally manipulative with anecdotes rather than addressing the policy questions in the right way with the right type of data.
Fourth, it’s lazy and cynical to try to lay this all on Musk. Maybe you shouldn’t have billion dollar ‘managed democracy’ and leftist NGO dark money sinkholes wearing the skin suit of true humanitarian programs. Maybe the people who designed these programs as such deserve a little more (or a lot more) of the blame for intentionally putting them in proximity to legitimate political targets.
Every time I read a half-informed journo trying to do advocacy for foreign health aid I cringe because it’s clear they don’t know what they’re talking about and are making lazy, motivated assertions that are bound to backfire and make things worse. If journos really cared about these issues and weren’t just scrounging for cheap partisan artillery they’d be a lot more carful, thoughtful, and reserved in what they’re arguing.
The argument that we are perpetually morally obligated to subsidize everyone in the Third World because at one time we subsidize them is the best way I can think of to guarantee that we’re not going to subsidize any of them going forward.
The claim that “You murdered Ogbugbu because you didn’t give him drugs to protect him from the disease he caught through his wanton sodomy despite four decades of us, paying to educate him about the dangers of his wanton sodomy!” is just not going to work the way you hope it does.
@SenSanders Senator, the world has been on a warming trend since the end of the Little Ice age. That was around 1860ish. From 1910 through 1945 the world had a huge warming trend, back when the population was less than 2 billion and maybe 5-10% as industrialized as today.
Them: THE PRESIDENT IS A PSYCHOPATHIC NAZI AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH THE UNLIMITED POWER THE SUPREME COURT JUST HANDED HIM THIS IS THE END OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND PEOPLE WILL DIE AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ELECTION!
Me: Would you join me in reducing Presidential power?
Them: HA YOU WISH! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT WILL USE THESE POWERS TO PUNISH YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU. PREPARE FOR YOUR DOOM!
Hakeem Jeffries, two months ago: The "Trump Court" is engaged in a scheme to rig the midterm elections.
Jeffries, Today: The Supreme Court just dealt a big blow to Trump’s efforts to rig the midterm elections.
Just absolute Clown World stuff.
AOC tells her followers that Elon Musk gutted Medicare and Social Security to pay for his own tax cuts.
Imagine what an unhinged, unstable person might do if he or she actually believes these nonsensical lies.
This is the type of talk that ends up in a manifesto.
