    That's a lie. The only people investigated were people who made threats against school board members and administrators. You can't show that anyone else was investigated.

    No, it is not. The press have a first amendment right to publish or broadcast >any news they get their hands on by legal means.

    On Jan. 26, the host of �KCBS Radio Weekend News� shared the location of
    agents and the vehicles they were in based on information from the Rapid
    Response Network in Santa Clara County, a community organization developed to
    protect immigrant families from deportation threats.

    �The County�s Response Network says agents in San Jose were in unmarked
    vehicles,� the host said, describing the color, make and model of the
    vehicles before listing the streets and locations where they were spotted.
    �Stay with KCBS, we�ll be tracking it for you.�

    The Communications Act of 1934 requires that broadcast licensees operate in
    the �public interest, convenience and necessity.� The FCC reserves the right
    to fine a station or revoke its license if it is found in violation of the
    public interest standard.

    https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-06/fcc-investigating-san-francisco-radio-station-that-shared-location-of-undercover-ice-agents

    The information was lawfully obtained, and it was in the public interest for the
    radio station to broadcast it.


    Why did you edit my response to omit the portion "It puts the agent's
    lives in danger"?

    Isn't the media going crazy about the naming of the FBI agents who
    investigated Jan 6'er?

    Make up your mind already.

    No it doesn't. The hard-working immigrants the agents intend to arrest don't want any confrontation with them at all. They want to avoid them altogether. The
    only effect of revealing the locations of the vehicles is to enable the hard-working immigrants to avoid the agents.

    <https://aclj.org/our-mission/about-aclj>

    Founded in 1990 with the mandate to protect religious and
    constitutional freedoms, the American Center for Law and Justice
    (ACLJ) engages legal, legislative, and cultural issues by
    implementing an effective strategy of advocacy, education, and
    litigation that includes representing clients before the Supreme
    Court of the United States and international tribunals around the
    globe.

    As ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow continued to build his legal and
    legislative team, the ACLJ experienced tremendous success in
    litigating cases at all levels of the judiciary – from the federal
    district court level to the Supreme Court of the United States.

    Over the last two decades, Sekulow has appeared before the Supreme
    Court of the United States on numerous occasions, successfully
    arguing precedent-setting cases before the high Court: Protecting
    the free speech rights of pro-life demonstrators; safeguarding the constitutional rights of religious groups to have equal access to
    public facilities; ensuring that public school students could form
    and participate in religious organizations, including Bible clubs,
    on campus; and guaranteeing that minors could participate in the
    political process by protecting their free speech rights in the
    political setting.

    They had a chance to tone down the attacks on Trump but instead doubled down

    Besides, there is always a pool reporter on site so the AP can get their information that way.

    A Republican congressman from Georgia faced some tough criticism
    and occasional boos from constituents Thursday night as he fielded
    questions about the Trump administration’s early actions.

    The at-times cool reception that greeted GOP Rep. Rich McCormick
    in Roswell was among other public displays of unrest from
    Republican voters and a couple GOP members of Congress this week,
    although the party’s base has largely and vigorously supported
    President Donald Trump.

    At one point, McCormick, who represents the state’s 7th

    Laughter.


    Liberal tears are the sweetest.

    These same crybabies didn't utter a peep when Biden was asked predetermined >>questions from predetermined reporters.
    And the corpse gave the sham away every time by holding up his notes and saying aloud
    something like "ok, who am I supposed to call on next".
    Nothing from the democrats at all.

    The mostly left wing media blew it big time.
    They had a chance to tone down the attacks on Trump but instead doubled down >>on them so it's Trump's news conferences and he can determine who is allowed >>to attend.
    Besides, there is always a pool reporter on site so the AP can get their information that way.

    Did you notice rather than address what I said, Bradley chose to
    attack me personally? It's all liberals have.

    They can't counter what Trump has done in 30 days so like the media
    they attack, cherry pick, and dig into their old standbys like military service etc.

    And when errors are made along the way, casualties of war so to speak, they will laser focus on those rather than the big picture.
    At this point the government is so corrupt, wasteful and inept that a brush with
    broad strokes is a necessity.
    Performing years long studies is no longer the method of choice.

    And if it works, things will get better.
    If it doesn't work, it's time to try an alternative method.
    This is not the time to not rock the boat.

    No it's not. Trump is not obligated to allow specific organizations
    to his meetings. If this were so then every media outlet that wants
    in would have to be let in.

    It is NOT just "freedom of speech":

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
    speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
    assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    Freedom of the press is in the literal text.

    internet. The only difference is that they don't get to ask the
    questions.

    to his meetings. If this were so then every media outlet that wants
    in would have to be let in.

    You did not read either link, did you (both links address your concern)?

    I said is absolute fact. People bitching and moaning that they
    believe they have a right to be there will spin away trying to justify
    their demandsj.

    I just glanced at your second link. There is no right to due process
    at being uninvited from a press briefing. This is something solely at
    the President's discretion.

    You guys have lost your marbles and suddenly believe the courts should
    rule the entire country.

    Ummmmm...no.

    It is NOT just "freedom of speech":

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or >prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
    speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
    assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    Freedom of the press is in the literal text.

    Not being invited to a press conference doesn't stop the AP from
    printing whatever they want.

    You guys are just nuts.

    <LOL> Nonsense..

    How so?


    <LOL> It's freedom of speech, not freedom to ask questions. The White >>>>> House can deny the AP from it's press events just like I can deny you >>>>> from my press events.

    You didn't read the links, did you?

    Yeah, I didbut like I said, the AP has access to the same
    information because the events are broadcast on TV and Radio and the
    internet. The only difference is that they don't get to ask the
    questions.

    Oh yes, by the way, your cites are only opinions.

    No Shit, Sherlock. But, they are informed opinions based in precedent.
    The first link, which provides a descriptive overview of both sides of
    the argument is particularly helpful.

    A federal judge trumps their opinion.

    "He said the news organization “can get access to the same
    information” from the pool notes that are given to all members of the
    White House Correspondents’ Association even if it’s barred from being
    at the events where that news is made."

    He did not rule on the merits. He ruled on whether the AP should get
    emergency relief, concluding no because there is no irreparable harm
    from waiting on a ruling on the merits.

    On the merits, the judge said the issue required further explanation.
    But he did say "AP has shown a likelihood of success here."

    It's complicated.

    They don't get to ask questions, but it's the speakers choice of who
    gets to ask questions. Biden did it all the time with his lists of who
    he was allowed to address.

    That's not what AP sued over. They sued to not be left pout of the Oval
    office.

    Very few people get to go in the Oval Office. The AP wants to be in
    the press room, but there's many, many who don't get to be there. It's
    not that big a room.

    Of course space is limited and some will be left out. But, the
    complicated question remains whether a person or organization can be
    barred based on their viewpoint.

    Batrred for what? Asking questions?

    No. Barred from being in the press pool.

    Which only prevents them from asking questions.

    It prevents them from having first-hand knowledge of press events.

    The link lists three appellate-court precedents that disagree with you.

    `
    The Oval office, the white house press room and Air Force one are not >>>>>>> open to a wide range of reporters. The space is very limited.

    "John K. Maciver Inst. seems to suggest that even for such events, >>>>>> reporters can't be selected in viewpoint-based ways"

    "I'm not sure this is right: I would think that when "only some members >>>>>> of the press are invited" the government official should be able to pick >>>>>> and choose those with whom he wants to have a conversation."

    It's complicated.

    At least for you and the guy that wrote that article.

    It's not complicated if your opinion, and the opinions of those who
    agree with you, are the only ones that matter.


    There you go....

    Yes, you are a self-centered troll.

    Sorry, I'm just not on the AP's side. They have no more right to be
    included in the White House pressors than you and I.

    Yes, that's your opinion and there are good arguments to support it.
    But, others disagree also with good arguments. All you have to do to not
    be a troll is to acknowledge that the issue is complicated with good
    arguments on both sides even if you don't agree with one of the sides.

    Not good, but likely not a violation of the First Amendment. As
    employees of the government, CDC staff are likely speaking for the
    government. If so, it's government speech which the government can (and routinely does without controversy) suit to its own purposes.

    Ridiculous complaint on your part. If a CDC staff member co-authors
    an article it gives an impression of this being a CDC supported. The
    CDC can certainly set policies around something like this.

    Funny how you were never concerned about Orwellian policies under
    Biden.

    Very few people get to go in the Oval Office. The AP wants to be in

    not that big a room.

    Of course space is limited and some will be left out. But, the
    complicated question remains whether a person or organization can be
    barred based on their viewpoint.

    Batrred for what? Asking questions?

    No. Barred from being in the press pool.

    Which only prevents them from asking questions.

    It prevents them from having first-hand knowledge of press events.

    "John K. Maciver Inst. seems to suggest that even for such events, >>>>>> reporters can't be selected in viewpoint-based ways"

    Whether it protects a non-citizen is an unsettled legal issue.

    No, you poor thing. Those are limitations of free speech.

    SFW. Khalil is not being charged with anything that is limitation of
    freedom of speech.

    Actually, he doesn't even need to be charged. The first Amendment does
    not protect him from being deported.

    As I already said, that's not settled law.

    Deporting him definitely settles the matter...

    | Valerie Costa never expected to be directly in Elon Musk's
    | crosshairs, but here she is.
    |
    | Costa, 43, is a community organizer in Seattle who
    | co-founded an environmental activist group called the
    | Troublemakers. Recently, she has helped organize peaceful
    | local protests as part of Tesla Takedown, demonstrations
    | happening worldwide objecting to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's
    | campaign of slashing and disrupting the federal government.
    |
    | In a post on X about the protest movement, Musk claimed
    | Costa's Seattle group was backed by Act Blue, an online
    | fundraising platform for Democrats.
    |
    | She was baffled.
    |
    | "I was like, uh, we're not Act Blue funded. We don't use
    | Act Blue. We have no connection to Act Blue. We have like
    | $3,000 in our bank account. I could tell you every single
    | person who donated," Costa said.
    |
    | Before Costa could figure out how to respond, Musk fired
    | off another post. This time it was even more personal and
    | inflammatory. It said: "Costa is committing crimes," with a
    | video clip of her appearing on a podcast.
    |
    | Musk's post provided no evidence or specific allegations,
    | but the message was clear: Musk was falsely blaming Costa
    | for violence directed at Tesla cars and facilities since
    | President Trump's inauguration and Musk assumed an
    | influential perch in the White House.

    Donald Trump's political operation is cashing in on DOGE.
    Trump's group is selling official Trump DOGE membership cards.
    Some merchandise also features Elon Musk.

    President Donald Trump's political operation is selling DOGE
    membership cards, part of an effort to capitalize on the
    popularity of the White House DOGE office and Elon Musk's role in it.

    He hasn't been deported. A judge forbade the administration from doing so while

    A judge forbade the regime from deporting a Lebanese doctor and professor at Brown U but the regime deported her anyway.

    He hasn't been deported. A judge forbade the administration from doing

    An activist judge "forbids" something he really doesn't have any

    And Rubio doesn't need a reason to deport non-citizens, but in this

    The reason was his advocacy for Hamas. If a citizen did that, they are >protected by the First Amendment from punishment. Again (why do I have
    to repeat myself), whether (as a green-card holder) he can be deported
    for it is unsettled law.

    "One of the most common reasons a green card holder can be deported is
    for committing certain criminal acts. These can range from aggravated
    felonies to crimes involving moral turpitude (such as fraud or theft).
    Some of the offenses that could trigger removal proceedings include:

    Drug crimes
    Violent crimes, including domestic violence
    Firearms offenses
    Crimes involving fraud or theft
    Human trafficking or involvement in gang-related activities

    Even relatively minor offenses, if considered severe under immigration
    law, can lead to deportation proceedings. It is crucial to understand
    that being convicted of any of these crimes can result in your green
    card being revoked and your removal from the U.S.
    "

    https://sedaghatlaw.com/can-you-get-deported-with-a-green-card/


    You call it "unsettled law" cause that's what you call whatever your
    pet cause is. You are almost always wrong in the outcome of these pet
    causes as well.

    BUDAPEST, March 15 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands rallied in
    Budapest against Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Saturday, waving
    the national flag as the leader of the surging opposition Tisza
    party pledged to make Hungary part of a strong Europe and end
    Orban's 15-year rule.
    Peter Magyar, a former government insider, launched his movement a

    The first amendment does not mention people in any way. It says:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
    prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
    of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
    petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    The first amendment protects speech by anyone, including by organizations speaking on behalf of persons.

    No, it is not settled law.

    I love how you armchair lawyers both try to interpret the law AND what
    Trump means in his statements. The whole article was nothing but
    guessing.

    for committing certain criminal acts. These can range from aggravated

    The word you missed is "some". Advocating violence could be consiered
    a violent crime.

    Advocating violence is generally protected by the First Amendment. Only incitement to immediate lawless conduct is unprotected. https://www.oyez.org/cases/1968/492

    If Trump believes Khalil incited imminent lawless action, the DOJ can
    bring criminal charges and then he can be deported. But as of now, they
    are trying to deport him for speech that, if uttered by a citizen, is
    protected by the First Amendment.

    Laughter. No wonder Trump refused to speak to that rag.

    When I was traveling a lot for business, I used to read The Atlantic and

    At one point I was wondering if they were a dark division of The National Enquirer

    With no more birthright citizenship
    who determines who is a citizen?

    A person born to a citizen. Duh!


    What makes that person a citizen
    without birthright?

    Nice try, you are a troll with no real ammo.


    Just answer the question.

    They cross legally and follow the rules and earn it.



    What makes YOU an American citizen?

    Idiot.


    Tell us what makes you a citizen
    without referencing your birth.

    My drivers license.

    Bullshit, Skeeter-Shit, you stupid fuckwit. A driver's license does not establish that you are a citizen. Try going to a foreign country and when their immigration officer asks to see your passport, show your driver's license instead and see if they admit you. You stupid shitbag.



    Opps,

    This is such an odd typo that countless people make. It's written *oops*, with two 'o' and only one 'p'.

    no, you had to present your birth certificate to get it. Next?
    You've been instructed on this many times. /jus soli/ birthright citizenship is not the only way to demonstrate citizenship. *NO* European nation has /jus soli/
    birthright citizenship — *zero*. They *all* have /jus sanguinis/ citizenship, i.e. "right of blood" or citizenship by descent. You're a citizen if one of your
    parents is a citizen. When a baby is born in a European country, e.g. Germany, and the baby's birth is recorded with the local civil registry, the registrar checks the identity papers of the parent(s). If one of them shows German citizenship/nationality, then that's what's marked for the baby. The parent with
    German citizenship doesn't have to "prove" anything about *his* parents' citizenship — the registering parent's identity papers indicate German, and that's the end of it.

    Why are you so stubborn about this, when you are clearly wrong?

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Seven>

    On November 21, 1972, all of the criminal convictions were
    reversed by the panel. The majority opinion of the court
    unanimously found several errors by Judge Hoffman and censured
    Judge Hoffman and the prosecutors for their conduct during the
    trial. The court noted, "the demeanor of the judge and the
    prosecutors would require reversal even if errors did not." Pell
    wrote a separate opinion concurring with the reversal of the
    convictions, and finding Title X of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,
    known as the Anti-Riot Act, to be an unconstitutional infringement
    of freedom of speech; this was not part of the majority opinion
    and therefore did not invalidate the statute. The U.S. Department
    of Justice announced in January 1973 that it would not retry the
    defendants.

    Once DoJ indicts and begins trial on those criminal violations,

    Be certain DoJ will get right on that.

    Are you going to make 300 million correct copies of birth
    certificates and file them correctly in all the counties and then
    redo all the databases correctly? Once you claim you have
    corrected all databases error free does that mean I am no longer
    allowed to present a stamped paper copy if it differs from the one
    true database because government databases are never wrong?

    For fuck's penetrating sake, since the current system works fine
    and allows the continuing evolution of a nation of immigrants in
    accord with established interpretation of a long written law, why
    are we even talking about this.

    No. If birthright citizenship for solely being born in the USA is

    And FYI, I support the current system. I posted only to note that

    OK, assume birthright citizenship

    Here is one possibility. Each birth certificate issued from 2026 on will
    have a new field which states whether the child was a citizen at birth.
    If at least one parent has documentation they are a citizen (e.g., a traditional pre-2025 birth certificate), then the field is marked "yes."

    The children of the person born after 2025 will also be citizens at
    birth because the parent has a new-style birth certificate proving they

    There are two concepts of birthright citizenship. Why can you not learn this?

    For everyone born in America after that:

    How do they prove their citizenship?
    They are issued a new identity document — either an entirely new identity document, or a birth certificate with a new citizenship box or field — that indicates their citizenship. If one or both parents is a U.S. citizen, then the baby's citizenship is marked as U.S. citizen. The U.S. citizen parent proves his
    or her citizenship by showing a pre-2026 U.S. birth certificate showing birth in
    the U.S., or a U.S. passport, or American naturalization documents. The parent having established U.S. citizenship, the baby's is established as well.

    That's how every European country, and many other countries around the world, does it. It works.

    Holman knows there is no technical impediment to this. He favors /jus soli/ birthright citizenship for political reasons, not because /jus sanguinis/ is infeasible. But he knows he can't make a case for /jus soli/ on its merits. Maybe someone can, but Holman can't, so he uses fictional infeasibility as a stalking horse.

    No, not after our current court-imposed citizenship regime is changed.

    or thru a parent.

    Not "or" — *exclusively* through a parent. A child is born a citizen if at least
    one parent is a citizen. Note that that's true even if the child is born abroad,
    as long as the citizen parent has lived enough time in the U.S.


    That is still citizenship based on birth.

    That's right. It's called /jus sanguinis/ birthright citizenship, as I have instructed you literally dozens of times. Look them up:

    /jus sanguinis/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis
    /jus soli/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli


    Even the Trump xenophobes cannot come up
    with an alternative to that

    They have. They propose /jus sanguinis/ only. It is the only good proposal Trump
    has made.

    need to bring with him?

    Because his U.S. birth certificate was issued prior to the salutary and salubrious change in the law that I propose, he need bring only his birth certificate showing birth in the U.S. Theodore's children or grandchildren born *after* the beneficial change in the law that I propose would have to bring a birth certificate or some other document that shows their American citizenship at birth.



    That's how every European country, and many other countries around the
    world, does it. It works.
    Well, Holman?

    can't, so he uses fictional infeasibility as a stalking horse.

    I favour using the system that exists with the law that exists
    because everytime idiots mess around they break everything and it
    takes decades to fix. Go ahead. Assure me this time it will be
    different. This is time we have AI. That always works perfectly.

    We have had over century to make this system work. The only
    remaining problem is racists have to share the country with people
    they hate. Asian exclusion laws prevented Issei from naturalising
    and owning farms. Because the Nisei were native citiens, their
    farms are still contributing to the nation's wealth.

    Are you going to make 300 million correct copies of birth
    certificates
    and file them correctly in all the counties and then redo all the

    No. If birthright citizenship for solely being born in the USA is
    revoked, it would apply only for prospective births. Anyone born
    before
    the change would need only provide today's birth certificate.


    OK, assume birthright citizenship
    ends in 2025. For everyone born in

    How do they prove their citizenship?

    Here is one possibility. Each birth certificate issued from 2026 on
    will
    have a new field which states whether the child was a citizen at birth.
    If at least one parent has documentation they are a citizen (e.g., a
    traditional pre-2025 birth certificate), then the field is marked
    "yes."

    The children of the person born after 2025 will also be citizens at
    birth because the parent has a new-style birth certificate proving they
    are a citizen (the field says "yes").


    So the child has birthright citizenship
    on his own or thru a parent. That is still
    citizenship based on birth.

    Even the Trump xenophobes cannot come up
    with an alternative to that..........

    The anchor baby loophole needs to be stopped.
    Women waddling into the country and dropping a kid 2 days after they arrive need to somehow be regulated.

    if at least one parent is a citizen. Note that that's true even if the
    child is born abroad, as long as the citizen parent has lived enough

    There are two concepts of birthright citizenship. Why can you not
    learn this?

    For everyone born in America after that:

    How do they prove their citizenship?
    They are issued a new identity document — either an entirely new
    identity document, or a --> birth <--- certificate with a new
    citizenship box
    or field — that indicates their citizenship. If one or both
    parents is a U.S. citizen, then the baby's citizenship is marked as
    U.S. citizen. The U.S. citizen parent proves his or her citizenship
    by showing a pre-2026 U.S. ---> birth <---certificate showing birth
    in the
    U.S.,
    or a U.S. passport, or American naturalization documents. The parent
    having established U.S. citizenship, the baby's is established as
    well.


    Your proposals all hinge on birthright
    citizenshoip. Either directly or thru a
    parent.

    No — *only* through a parent.


    When high school senior Theodore Cleaver
    goes to the Social Security office for an
    SS Card

    Children born in recent decades have no need to go to a SSA office to
    obtain a social security card. They are issued at birth.


    Bullshit.

    Here is the application form:

    https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf



    what proof of citizenship does he
    need to bring with him?

    Because his U.S. birth certificate was issued prior to the salutary
    and salubrious change in the law that I propose, he need bring only
    his birth certificate showing birth in the U.S.


    Birthright citizenship.



    Theodore's children or
    grandchildren born *after* the beneficial change in the law that I
    propose would have to bring a birth certificate or some other document
    that shows their American citizenship at birth.


    That is still citizenship based on birth.

    There you go again with your ridiculous claim that without
    birthright citizenship, here is no way to prove you are a
    citizen.
    There are many options for doing so including having a new
    field
    on
    the birth certificate that indicates whether you were a
    citizen
    at
    birth (or not).

    I have no such field. According to you and Elon that is a data
    error
    proving I am not a citizen.


    FFS. It would be a field that could be added if we switched to
    no birthright citizenship by virtue of being born in the USA.

    Are you going to make 300 million correct copies of birth
    certificates
    and file them correctly in all the counties and then redo all the
    databases correctly?

    No. If birthright citizenship for solely being born in the USA is
    revoked, it would apply only for prospective births. Anyone born
    before
    the change would need only provide today's birth certificate.


    OK, assume birthright citizenship
    ends in 2025. For everyone born in
    America after that:

    How do they prove their citizenship?

    Here is one possibility. Each birth certificate issued from 2026 on
    will
    have a new field which states whether the child was a citizen at
    birth. If at least one parent has documentation they are a citizen
    (e.g., a traditional pre-2025 birth certificate), then the field is
    marked
    "yes."

    The children of the person born after 2025 will also be citizens at
    birth because the parent has a new-style birth certificate proving
    they are a citizen (the field says "yes").


    So the child has birthright citizenship
    on his own or thru a parent. That is still
    citizenship based on birth.

    Even the Trump xenophobes cannot come up
    with an alternative to that..........

    The anchor baby loophole needs to be stopped.
    Women waddling into the country and dropping a kid 2 days after they
    arrive need to somehow be regulated.


    Trumps mother was just such an
    immigrant who gave birth in the US.

    Is Trump not a citizen?

    All European countries that have a /jus sanguinis/ citizenship policy have provisions for conferring citizenship on foundlings. They also have such provisions for children who would otherwise be stateless because their parents come from despotic shitholes that can strip people of citizenship.

    That's not what Holman really is concerned with, and we all know it.

    Why do you think it's a good thing for aliens to be able to create a new U.S. citizen without our permission? Answer the question.

    the birth certificate that indicates whether you were a
    citizen
    at
    birth (or not).

    I have no such field. According to you and Elon that is a
    data
    error
    proving I am not a citizen.


    FFS. It would be a field that could be added if we switched to >>>>>>>>> no birthright citizenship by virtue of being born in the USA. >>>>>>>>
    Are you going to make 300 million correct copies of birth
    certificates
    and file them correctly in all the counties and then redo all
    the databases correctly?

    No. If birthright citizenship for solely being born in the USA
    is revoked, it would apply only for prospective births. Anyone
    born
    before
    the change would need only provide today's birth certificate.


    OK, assume birthright citizenship
    ends in 2025. For everyone born in
    America after that:

    How do they prove their citizenship?

    Here is one possibility. Each birth certificate issued from 2026
    on
    will
    have a new field which states whether the child was a citizen at
    birth.
    If at least one parent has documentation they are a citizen (e.g.,
    a traditional pre-2025 birth certificate), then the field is
    marked
    "yes."

    The children of the person born after 2025 will also be citizens
    at birth because the parent has a new-style birth certificate
    proving
    they
    are a citizen (the field says "yes").


    So the child has birthright citizenship
    on his own or thru a parent. That is still
    citizenship based on birth.

    Of course it is. Trump supports the "thru a parent" part.



    So your birth certificate does not
    prove your citizenship but those of your
    parents does.

    If one or both parents of a newborn in the U.S. can establish their
    U.S. citizenship, the child is a U.S. citizen at birth. If not, then
    the child and/or the parents have some work cut out for them later.


    There is nothing to work out. Born
    here, you are a citizen here. America
    has always benefitted from immigrants
    moving here and making new Americans
    here. You are fighting a problem that
    doesn't exist.



    Why do you think it's a good thing for aliens to be able to create a
    new U.S. citizen without our permission?


    Yes. America is in a serious population
    decline. Empty schools, colleges closing,
    dead shopping malls, crops rotting in the
    fields, town after deserted small town.
    We need more people. If young people from
    other countries want to move here and
    start families here what is the problem?

          Tell us what makes you a citizen

    There you go again with your ridiculous claim that without
    birthright citizenship, here is no way to prove you are a
    citizen.
    There are many options for doing so including having a new
    field
    on
    the birth certificate that indicates whether you were a
    citizen
    at
    birth (or not).

    I have no such field. According to you and Elon that is a
    data
    error
    proving I am not a citizen.


    FFS. It would be a field that could be added if we switched
    to
    no birthright citizenship by virtue of being born in the
    USA.

    Are you going to make 300 million correct copies of birth
    certificates
    and file them correctly in all the counties and then redo all
    the databases correctly?

    No. If birthright citizenship for solely being born in the USA
    is revoked, it would apply only for prospective births. Anyone
    born
    before
    the change would need only provide today's birth certificate.


    OK, assume birthright citizenship
    ends in 2025. For everyone born in
    America after that:

    How do they prove their citizenship?

    Here is one possibility. Each birth certificate issued from 2026
    on
    will
    have a new field which states whether the child was a citizen at
    birth.
    If at least one parent has documentation they are a citizen
    (e.g.,
    a traditional pre-2025 birth certificate), then the field is
    marked
    "yes."

    The children of the person born after 2025 will also be citizens
    at birth because the parent has a new-style birth certificate
    proving
    they
    are a citizen (the field says "yes").


    So the child has birthright citizenship
    on his own or thru a parent. That is still
    citizenship based on birth.

    Of course it is. Trump supports the "thru a parent" part.



    So your birth certificate does not
    prove your citizenship but those of your
    parents does.

    If one or both parents of a newborn in the U.S. can establish their
    U.S. citizenship, the child is a U.S. citizen at birth. If not, then
    the child and/or the parents have some work cut out for them later.


    There is nothing to work out. Born
    here, you are a citizen here. America
    has always benefitted from immigrants
    moving here and making new Americans
    here. You are fighting a problem that
    doesn't exist.



    Why do you think it's a good thing for aliens to be able to create a
    new U.S. citizen without our permission?


    Yes. America is in a serious population
    decline. Empty schools, colleges closing,
    dead shopping malls, crops rotting in the
    fields, town after deserted small town.
    We need more people. If young people from
    other countries want to move here and
    start families here what is the problem?

    Then do it legally.


    They ARE doing it legally.

    Trump is trying change the law, remember?

    Everyone in America is "subject to the jurisdiction"

    Aliens who are here are not subject to the *complete* jurisdiction of the U.S., Holman. They have to obey our laws — aliens are not permitted to murder or rob
    banks — but they do not owe the country allegiance. You keep snipping out — *unethically* — the citation from Elk v. Wilkins that proves you wrong:

    The main object of the opening sentence of the fourteenth amendment was to
    settle the question, upon which there had been a difference of opinion
    throughout the country and in this court, as to the citizenship of free
    negroes, (Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393;) and to put it beyond doubt that
    all persons, white or black, and whether formerly slaves or not, born or
    naturalized in the United States, and owing no allegiance to any alien power,
    should be citizens of the United States and of the state in which they
    reside. Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 73; Strauder v. West Virginia,
    100 U. S. 303, 306.

    This section contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two sources only:
    birth and naturalization. The persons declared to be citizens are 'all
    persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
    jurisdiction thereof.' The evident meaning of these last words is, not merely
    subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States,
    but *completely subject to their political jurisdiction*, and *owing them*
    *direct and immediate allegiance*. [emphasis added]

    Tourists and illegal immigrants are only partially subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S., Holman. They are subject to the jurisdiction of our ordinary criminal and civil laws, but they do not owe *direct and immediate allegiance* to the U.S. And since they don't, nor do their U.S.-born children.

    Holman doesn't know that Native Americans are not citizens of the U.S. based upon the 14th amendment. They *are* citizens, but nothing to do with the 14th amendment.

    There you go again making a normative judgment. Gray got that wrong. He completely misunderstood America's break with English common law. Gray's decision reverted us to be subjects, not citizens.

    Scalia was onto something when he called Hamdi a "presumed" American citizen.

    Not the point. The point is that Holman believes the citizenship clause of the 14th amendment makes citizens out of Native Americans, even if they were born on
    reservations. It does not. It was an act of Congress in 1924 that conferred citizenship on all Native Americans in the U.S. I like rubbing Holman's nose in his errors.

    Prior to 1924, an Indian born on a reservation was not a citizen. If he later moved off the reservation and began paying state and federal taxes, he still was

    Not full and complete political jurisdiction, Holman, which is what the expression "subject to the jurisdiction" means.

    The 14th Amendment says nothing about allegiance.
    Elk v. Wilkins says you're wrong. Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee in 1866, says you're wrong.

    Lyman Trumbull of Illinois, chairman of the Judiciary
    Committee and a key drafter of the 14th Amendment,

    There you go again making a normative judgment.

    "Good law" is not normative. It's a description of what binding
    precedent is. Plessy was good law until Brown even though it was a
    horrible decision.

    Gray got that wrong. He
    completely misunderstood America's break with English common law. Gray's decision reverted us to be subjects, not citizens.

    Scalia was onto something when he called Hamdi a "presumed" American
    citizen.


    Holman doesn't know that Native Americans are not citizens of the
    U.S. based upon the 14th amendment. They *are* citizens, but nothing
    to do with the 14th amendment.

    Members of Indian tribes were not fully subject to US law. For crimes
    committed by Indians against each other or on reservations (which are
    in the USA), state and federal courts had no jurisdiction.

    Not the point. The point is that Holman believes the citizenship clause
    of the 14th amendment makes citizens out of Native Americans, even if
    they were born on reservations. It does not. It was an act of Congress
    in 1924 that conferred citizenship on all Native Americans in the U.S. I
    like rubbing Holman's nose in his errors.

    So the child has birthright citizenship
    on his own or thru a parent. That is still
    citizenship based on birth.

    Of course it is. Trump supports the "thru a parent" part.



    So your birth certificate does not
    prove your citizenship but those of your
    parents does.

    If one or both parents of a newborn in the U.S. can establish their

    There is nothing to work out. Born
    here, you are a citizen here. America
    has always benefitted from immigrants
    moving here and making new Americans
    here. You are fighting a problem that
    doesn't exist.



    Why do you think it's a good thing for aliens to be able to create a >>>>> new U.S. citizen without our permission?


    Yes. America is in a serious population
    decline. Empty schools, colleges closing,
    dead shopping malls, crops rotting in the
    fields, town after deserted small town.
    We need more people. If young people from
    other countries want to move here and
    start families here what is the problem?

    Then do it legally.

    Roughly 400,000 people do.

    Problem is that more want to, and the USA now has an annual quota that's
    less than 10% of past historical relative rates of immigration.

    There's MAGA's who try to claim that this is justified under a claim of
    "we're full!" but these are the very same folk that are banning women's'
    healthcare rights to try to increase domestic birthrates (hypocrite
    much?).

    Not being invited to a press conference is no different that not being

    or organization has no obligation to invite someone who will disrupt or disagree at the meeting. They can stand outside of the meeting and use

    The lefties say there is a freedom of press which means the owner
    of the press decides what to publish. And if they do not want to
    publish conspiracy researchers, they hide behind this so called
    freedom to deny them the use of their private property.

    A closed mind gathers no thought.

    I don't gather other people thoughts. I do my own thinking.

    Siri is notnot familiar with that concept. He decides "facts" by
    taking a swig, write his feelings, and passes out.

    No insurrectionists did "nothing more than walk through the Capitol". They beat cops, committed massive vandalism to the building, smeared their shit on the walls. More of them should have been shot to death.

    Conservatives have no principles.

    Out of power they rant about smaller
    government and cutting regulations and
    balanced budgets, once in power they
    enlarge government and rack up huge
    deficits and regulate everything and
    everyone to a degree that would make
    Stalin jealous.

    What Bradley snipped:

    "�We historically in recent times had not enforced those laws,� said
    McCormack, a deputy special agent in charge in New York. �I wanted to
    confirm there was a legal basis for arrest.�"

    So the agent admitted that Biden refused to enforce the law...

    and.

    "All four agents said they were never informed that the academics were
    being targeted for deportation due to their pro-Palestinian views,
    their criticism of Israel or for their political views � the central
    claim in the lawsuit. The agents said they carried out the arrests
    because the academics� visas or green cards had been revoked and
    because of Rubio�s determination that their presence was at odds with
    U.S. foreign policy."

    Which means the Politico's claims were not supported.

    Laughter.

    Untrue.
    Free speech comes with some qualifications.
    sure, you can stand in the middle of Times Square and claim that Hamas is
    a friendly organization and Israel is to blame for everything.

    That is an opinion and nobody is going to prevent you although some may do so. A court of law would never rule against you.

    However, when you are a respected media outlet and you present an accusation against
    a celebrity, or literally anyone, as fact, you will be required to prove that accusation.

    Maybe the WSJ can do that.
    Maybe they can't.

    TBH at this point I personally don't care.
    I used to have letters from ex boyfriends that had all kinds of salacious threats in
    them.
    This is pre Internet, but I didn't care.
    Knock your socks off.
    Then again I am not POTUS.

    Let's see how it plays out.

    That is an opinion and nobody is going to prevent you although some may do so.
    A court of law would never rule against you.

    Trump has filed a number of suits that work against the First. He
    doesn't quite understand that to be President is to paint a target on
    your chest. He had no problem lobbing defaming birtherism charges
    against Obama. Did Obama sue him? No. Freedom of speech.

    However, when you are a respected media outlet and you present an accusation against
    a celebrity, or literally anyone, as fact, you will be required to prove that
    accusation.

    Regardless of MAGA squealing, the fact remains, the MAGA President has
    filed a suit against a major media outlet, one of the most respected
    in the world that is owned by a far right group that helped get Trump
    elected twice.

    Trump is an idiot. He thinks he can bite the hand that feeds him
    anytime he likes.

    Maybe the WSJ can do that.
    Maybe they can't.

    It doesn't matter. SCOTUS has already ruled that news media are not
    required to relate only facts. They can also publish speculation and
    even outright lies.

    TBH at this point I personally don't care.
    I used to have letters from ex boyfriends that had all kinds of salacious threats in
    them.
    This is pre Internet, but I didn't care.
    Knock your socks off.
    Then again I am not POTUS.

    Let's see how it plays out.

    Most likely it'll just go away. I very seriously doubt he'll be able
    to proceed with this or any other of his suits.


    Because it is civil case, both sides have to go into discovery where
    they are compelled to answer intrusive and unfair questions. TACO
    chickens out and drops his own cases just before discovery. When he
    cannot, like E Jean Carroll, he embarrasses himself.

    Biden has already tried and done that.
    Remember him wandering around some diner and the people in the booths
    and tables completely ignored him?
    Then there was his failed train whistle stop campaigning.
    Literally nobody showed up.

    So that method isn't going to work.

    Maybe I don't follow this group as closely as others but I haven't seen
    that at all.
    What *I* have seen is people pointing out the left wing media constant
    24x7 attacks on Trump while at the same time ignoring the good he
    does as well as Biden's administration's covering for Joe and
    so forth.

    It's a clear double standard and that's what I object to.

    Cover the news and dedicate the commentary to commentary type
    shows.

    IOW go back to the Cronkite days, and he was a liberal of sorts.

    MAGAs thrill to Trump banning media from the White House Press Corps.

    That's his choice. If it were me, I would let them so his administration especially Karoline Leavitt, can make them look like fools, which some of them are.

    I do like that Trump is allowing more media influencers, podcasters and such join the conferences. They are the future of media as legacy media is no longer trusted and is falling apart.

    has already tried and done that.

    Maybe I don't follow this group as closely as others but I haven't seen

    He needs to head to a safe space ASAP before he breaks down

    Is that why you decline to respond to my comments and analyses or is
    it because you're afraid to try?

    I have been responding however I'm not going to repeat the same responses
    ad nauseam. And when you make shit up, I will ignore it.

    For example, your analysis of the .gov site listing Trump's accomplishments
    in the first 6 months. Let's take one, inflation. You claim it is up but fail to address specifically what inflation is under Trump compared to Biden which is what he is referring to.

    You can see it here. <https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/>

    Trump is correct.

    You also ignore the tracker I posted, that AP has published which shows that many of
    Trump's promises have either been kept or a work in progress.
    It's a little outdated, but still. <https://apnews.com/projects/trump-campaign-promise-tracker/>

    And then there is the border. I don't know if it was you or the
    bloviator in charge (the B.I.C) hh who said that the border isn't sealed because the wall isn't complete.
    That's idiotic.

    The point that is ignored is that DHS is delivering on the most secure border in American history.

    And that is setting off the demons TDS bigtime which is why you will never see it on the MSM.

    <https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/07/02/dhs-shatters-nationwide-border-records-once-again-delivering-most-secure-border

    'WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the lowest nationwide encounters and apprehensions in history—shattering record lows set earlier this year under the Trump Administration.

    In June, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had the lowest number of nationwide encounters in CBP history at 25,243. This is 12% lower than the previous record set by President Trump in February 2025. That is 89% lower than the monthly average for years
    2021-2024.

    Nationwide U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) apprehensions were at 8,039, breaking the previous record from March 2025. This is a dramatic decrease from last June when there 11,414 apprehensions made in just the first 3 days of the month.
    Along the Southwest Border, USBP apprehensions dropped to 6,070, a 15% decline from March 2025. Last year, in just the first two days of June, Border Patrol had more than 7,000 Southwest Border apprehensions.
    Notably, on June 28, Border Patrol recorded only 137 apprehensions across the entire Southwest Border—the lowest single-day total in a quarter of a century.
    Gotaways fell 90% compared to June 2024. And for the second month in a row, USBP reported zero releases—reinforcing the Administration’s commitment to ending catch-and-release policies.'



    With you demons, you take every opportunity to nit pick and attack Trump
    yet you made excuses for 4 years in order to justify a calcified corpse as POTUS and then, you demons, the party always squawking about losing democracy, sat by and watched a soft coup as Kamala was appointed without a single vote.

    Biden was the nominee and didn't just step aside.
    He was pressured by the party to do such.
    On Friday he announced he was in the race to win.
    On Sunday all of a sudden he dropped out.

    How stupid are you?

    Give me a break already Hollow. You are really stretching it here.
    Ford became POTUS via the Constitution when Nixon resigned.
    Ford was VP via Nixon winning the election.
    There is no specific election for VP.

    Kamala Harris was NOT inline to become the candidate for POTUS.
    Biden did not resign or die.

    Face it she was appointed.
    There was no primary election.
    No votes.
    Nothing.
    Don't you as a demon feel cheated?
    What happened to democracy?

    ROTFLMAO at how ignorant you demons are.

    Your party is a disaster and you know it.

    Biden declined to run again.

    Just like Washington, Jefferson,
    Madison, Monroe, Buchanan, Polk, Pierce,
    Truman, Roosevelt, Tyler, Nixon, Johnson,
    Hayes, Arthur, Jackson and so many others.


    He was pressured by the party to do such.


    The predient runs the party.

    Don't you know anything about this?


    Kamala Harris was NOT inline to become the candidate for POTUS.


    What is your beef with that?



    Biden did not resign or die.


    Neither did any of the presidents
    listed above. Read some history.


    Face it she was appointed.

    1) prove you are female, as you claim.

    "pothole" is male. This is not in rational dispute. His interests, his vocabulary, his compositional style, the very fact of participating in Usenet.


    2) prove you own an 800 hp Mustang, as you claim.

    Given that "pothole" is a Linux bit twiddler and well into his 60s, at least, that is all but certainly a fiction. The car costs $300+ K, and "pothole" doesn't have that kind of money. But it gets to establishing that "pothole" is male. He seems to have a fascination with cars, especially high performance cars, and that's a male thing. He's pretty clearly a very dweeby male, insecure about his masculinity, and aspiring to an 800+ hp car is an essential part of that. That car is what he dreams of having, not what he has.


    3) prove you can debate a Trump failing without
    changing the subject to Biden.

    He can't. That's been settled for years.

    I disagree. Just this newsgroup has been flooded with complaints that
    media shouldn't be allowed to criticize Trump.

    MAGAs thrill to Trump banning media from the White House Press Corps.


    If the press had an integrity and any courage, they could fight back.
    What if they gave a press conference and nobody came?


    Biden has already tried and done that.
    Remember him wandering around some diner and the people in the booths
    and tables completely ignored him?
    Then there was his failed train whistle stop campaigning.
    Literally nobody showed up.

    So that method isn't going to work.


    Presidents are ALWAYS "news" - even if The People
    hardly give a shit.

    Wasn't much to Biden to give a shit ABOUT ...

    As for the 1st amendment, Trump isn't "destroying" it
    at all. He's just setting limits for what govts should
    be PAYING for. If you just HAVE to get "Tommy's two
    daddies butt-ream him" you can buy it yourself.

    Is that why you decline to respond to my comments and analyses or is
    it because you're afraid to try?

    I have been responding

    When? It's rare for a reply of mine to be followed up by you.

    however I'm not going to repeat the same responses
    ad nauseam. And when you make shit up, I will ignore it.

    For example, your analysis of the .gov site listing Trump's accomplishments >>in the first 6 months. Let's take one, inflation. You claim it is up but fail >>to address specifically what inflation is under Trump compared to Biden which >>is what he is referring to.

    You can see it here. >><https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/>

    Trump is correct.

    According to your own cite's opening paragraph:

    "The annual inflation rate for the United States was 2.7% for the 12
    months ending June, compared to the previous rate increase of 2.4%,
    according to U.S. Labor Department data published on July 15, 2025.
    The next inflation update is scheduled for release on August 12 at
    8:30 a.m. ET, providing information on the inflation rate for the 12
    months ending July."

    As you can see, BY YOUR OWN CITE, inflation is UP slightly. More to
    the point, inflation was whipped before Trump entered office according
    to YOUR OWN CITE.

    Compare inflation when Biden was POTUS to when trump made that statement.
    It is DOWN. This is what Trump meant. Not that it rised 1/10th of a point in the last couple of weeks.

    Look at the chart.

    Biden.

    2020 - 1.4%

    2021 - 7%

    2022 - 6.5%

    2023 - 3.4%

    2024 - 2.9%

    2025 - 2.7% so far.


    You also ignore the tracker I posted,

    I did not ignore that tracker. I responded to that post.

    that AP has published which shows that many of
    Trump's promises have either been kept or a work in progress.
    It's a little outdated, but still. >><https://apnews.com/projects/trump-campaign-promise-tracker/>

    You posted a White House tracker which is not reliable as it contains whatever Trump wants it to contain and his habit of lying is
    unequalled by any other US politician alive or dead.



    You also posted the above AP tracker. I did not ignore it, I replied
    to it in another post noting this was a *different* set of promises
    from the White House list and that Trump is only 5 for 20 at AP.

    Meh.

    How many politicians deliver on multiple promises so quickly
    in their term?
    Also, several are in progress and more are on the way.

    Like it or not, Trump is doing what he said he would do.
    And he is not wasting time doing it.
    And this is despite the far left, judges and so forth, attacking him
    from all sides.


    And then there is the border. I don't know if it was you or the
    bloviator in charge (the B.I.C) hh who said that the border isn't sealed >>because the wall isn't complete.
    That's idiotic.

    That's not what -hh said. He said the fact that border crossings are
    way down proves that Trump's border wall, which never got built, is unneccessary to securing the border. That task can be done without a
    wall. Before you accuse somebody of being an idiot, make sure you
    first understand what they said, not whatever idiocy you wish they'd
    said that you can argue with.

    I understood what he said.
    It was a diversion from the fact that Biden claimed first that the border
    was secure and then claimed he couldn't do anything about it.

    Trump solved the problem in 3 months and the wall is simply another part
    of security, which I have said many times before.

    Bottom line is Biden destroyed the country via mass immigration and
    Trump is fixing it.



    The point that is ignored is that DHS is delivering on the most secure border >>in American history.

    Without a wall and I have not disputed the improvements in border
    control. I ceded that point fully in reply to the White House tracker
    you posted.

    There is a partial wall, but it doesn't matter as it's under control now.
    Trump has done what Biden said couldn't be done.

    And that is setting off the demons TDS bigtime which is why you will never see
    it on the MSM.

    I don't give a fuck what the Democrats think nor do I care about what
    tales the MSM is spinning. Don't forget, Fox is now MSM itself.

    I haven't watched Fox regularly in years.
    Mark Levin is the only Fox person I follow and that's via online.
    You should care what the democrats think because the party has hit rock bottom. They need to change big time or they will ultimately cease to exist.
    I am embarrassed by Trump every day because he is everything that is
    shameful about humanity.

    <https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/07/02/dhs-shatters-nationwide-border-records-once-again-delivering-most-secure-border

    "once-again-delivering-most-secure-border" ... with*out* a wall.

    <snip>

    Sigh.....


    With you demons, you take every opportunity to nit pick and attack Trump >>yet you made excuses for 4 years in order to justify a calcified corpse as >>POTUS and then, you demons, the party always squawking about losing democracy,
    sat by and watched a soft coup as Kamala was appointed without a single vote.

    Don't confuscate my views/statements with those of everybody else who
    has ever disagreed with you about anything. You might have better understanding if you engaged with me rather than assuming I'm a
    radical demolefty.

    I am not saying specifically you. There are of course exceptions but just
    the fact you are so TDS infected, you are going to get lumped into the same bucket. It's the same thing your side does to the republicans. We are not all MAGA loons that worship Trump. Personally I don't give a hoot who is POTUS as long as our country and citizens are protected and put first both in country and
    globally as in peace through strength.


    On one hand, I was pleased that Biden was putting so many resources
    into Ukraine against Russia. Otoh, I'm also glad Trump is forcing the Europeans to secure their own lands by making them pay for their own
    defense.

    Same.


    Afaic, requiring Europe to secure itself and Africa against Russia is necessary in order for us to police the Pacific and prevent conquest
    of the west by China.

    Agree again.

    Having been a finger's width from a peacenik in the nineteen sixties
    and seventies, I can yet appreciate the need for arming now against
    the dictatorships of Russia, China and the South.

    Agree again. I come from the "duck and cover" generation and remember it
    very well.
    We must be close in age.

    Give me a break already Hollow. You are really stretching it here.
    Ford became POTUS via the Constitution when Nixon resigned.
    Ford was VP via Nixon winning the election.
    There is no specific election for VP.

    Yes there is. The first Tuesday in November of any leap year.

    SPECIFIC.


    The point is that the US ended up with a President NOT selected by the voters. One who was, in effect, appointed by the shamed President who
    was about to resign. But because, I suppose, those were Republicans,
    you can only defend their actions.

    That's the way the Constitution works.
    Nixon resigned and Ford became POTUS.

    Biden didn't resign. If he had, Kamala would have been POTUS.


    FWIW, the voters showed what they thought of Watergate, Nixon and the
    first appointed President first Tuesday in November 1976.

    Ford wasn't appointed.
    Neither was Johnson.
    Both became POTUS via line of succession.

    Kamala was appointed as the democrat parties candidate.
    No primary.
    No votes.
    Nothing.
    These same soft coup elite could have appointed Stephen Colbert and
    technically it would have been the same thing.


    Kamala Harris was NOT inline to become the candidate for POTUS.
    Biden did not resign or die.

    Face it she was appointed.
    There was no primary election.
    No votes.
    Nothing.
    Don't you as a demon feel cheated?
    What happened to democracy?

    Nothing. The voters showed what they thought of Harris's appointment

    'lefty msm' spend years shrieking about how the election was rigged

    For the 3rd time, Ford was NOT appointed.
    Succession to the POTUS.

    How the voters felt after the fact is not a deciding factor.

    ROTFLMAO at how ignorant you demons are.

    Rather, how ignorant you try to portray them as.

    My party didn't appoint a person to run for POTUS
    without my having a vote.
    The democrats did and your party stood by and watched while
    at the same time accusing Trump, 24x7, as being a danger to
    democracy.

    It's laughable.


    Your party is a disaster and you know it.

    Agreed. The Dems are still trying to get their thumbs out of their

    Nah; the statements have been made that it wasn't OEM but an aftermarket
    kit. This excludes Shelby Cobra prices and aligns with a Roush kit ...

    So figure roughly $40K for the Mustang GT, plus another $25K for the supercharger kit fully installed including labor, so ballpark ~$65K.

    Or one can find them used at around $50K.
    Depreciation on aftermarket mods is .. unkind.

    Well I was referring to my political/social leanings
    as in posts that you and others make where you claim I am
    not anwering your points.


    1) prove you are female, as you claim.

    Sorry but I am a private person and with all the crazies
    loose these days I don't release personal information.

    2) prove you own an 800 hp Mustang, as you claim.

    Same. Believe me or not as it doesn't matter to me.
    Stock Mustang, my model is about 490 HP.
    Add the blower and it's close to 800 HP depending.

    3) prove you can debate a Trump failing without
    changing the subject to Biden.

    I don't debate Trump's failings what I do is
    talk about his accomplishments and in many cases,
    the border for example, it's impossible to do without
    comparing it to Biden or other POTUS.

    And unlike you libbys, other than Swill who does admit the
    parties shortcomings, I freely admit Trumps and have done
    so many times.

    Here is just a few.

    1. Greenland
    2. Canada a 51st state.
    3. I can't stand to hear his rally speeches with the rah, rah stuff.
    4. The SS no tax plan as of the current BBB, is not equivalent to
    no tax on SS. It's much less in real life.
    5. His childish statements and name calling. Redskins, Powell is
    a this that the other thing.

    There are more.

    So that still gives you 2 questions about policy, politics, social issues rights, etc.

    is what he is referring to.

    You can see it here.
    <https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/> >>>
    Trump is correct.

    According to your own cite's opening paragraph:

    "The annual inflation rate for the United States was 2.7% for the 12
    months ending June, compared to the previous rate increase of 2.4%,
    according to U.S. Labor Department data published on July 15, 2025.
    The next inflation update is scheduled for release on August 12 at
    8:30 a.m. ET, providing information on the inflation rate for the 12
    months ending July."

    As you can see, BY YOUR OWN CITE, inflation is UP slightly. More to
    the point, inflation was whipped before Trump entered office according
    to YOUR OWN CITE.

    Compare inflation when Biden was POTUS to when trump made that statement.
    It is DOWN. This is what Trump meant. Not that it rised 1/10th of a point
    in the last couple of weeks.

    Look at the chart.

    Biden.

    2020 - 1.4%

    2021 - 7%

    2022 - 6.5%

    2023 - 3.4%

    2024 - 2.9%

    2025 - 2.7% so far.

    Except for how these annual values are misleading, as they obfuscate
    major changes which can & do occur midyear. Look at the Monthly values,
    and zoom out to the "10 year" histogram for perspective:

    <https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi>

    One can now can see CoVid's huge drop and then its high inflation
    rebound, which we know was due to huge Federal stimulus injections,
    2/3ds of which were signed off by Trump.

    Ending of new stimulus injections didn't end the spending; that took a
    ~year to dissipate, which is why inflation continued to rise until it
    peaked in June 2022 (note: midyear). Note that this was before the
    Federal Reserve seriously started jacking up interest rates, as they
    didn't start until March 2022 (& peaked July 2023 .. again, midyear): <https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate>

    Between the higher Fed interest rates and discontinuation of additional stimulus spending, inflation rates were able to decline rapidly after
    June 2022 as seen in the above, with the slope changing a year later as
    this was all consolidated: since May 2023 (YA midyear inflection point), there's been no month above 3.7% (a 60% decline from the peak), and
    every month since June 2024 (YA midyear) has been 3% or lower (where 3%
    is a 67% decline from peak).

    FYI, one can also see an inflation rebound occur from the Federal
    Reserve rate cuts in September 2024 & December 2024, as inflation
    increased from 2.4% up to 3% in January 2025.

    For 2025, the threat of tariffs creates Market turmoil & variance, since
    it is known that implementation of tariffs is inflationary, which
    suggests that the current signal is that inflation bottomed at 2.3% in
    April and is now rising due to tariff policies.


    And then there is the border. I don't know if it was you or the
    bloviator in charge (the B.I.C) hh who said that the border isn't sealed >>> because the wall isn't complete.
    That's idiotic.

    That's not what -hh said. He said the fact that border crossings are
    way down proves that Trump's border wall, which never got built, is
    unneccessary to securing the border. That task can be done without a
    wall. Before you accuse somebody of being an idiot, make sure you
    first understand what they said, not whatever idiocy you wish they'd
    said that you can argue with.

    I understood what he said.

    Except for how you just showed that you didn't understand.

    It was a diversion from the fact that Biden claimed first that the border
    was secure and then claimed he couldn't do anything about it.
    BZZZZZZZT! Wrong.

    Read it all again. S L O W L Y .


    Trump solved the problem in 3 months and the wall is simply another part
    of security, which I have said many times before.

    Bottom line is Biden destroyed the country via mass immigration and
    Trump is fixing it.



    The point that is ignored is that DHS is delivering on the most secure border
    in American history.

    Without a wall and I have not disputed the improvements in border
    control. I ceded that point fully in reply to the White House tracker
    you posted.

    There is a partial wall, but it doesn't matter as it's under control now. Trump has done what Biden said couldn't be done.

    And that is setting off the demons TDS bigtime which is why you will never see
    it on the MSM.

    I don't give a fuck what the Democrats think nor do I care about what
    tales the MSM is spinning. Don't forget, Fox is now MSM itself.

    I haven't watched Fox regularly in years.
    Mark Levin is the only Fox person I follow and that's via online.
    You should care what the democrats think because the party has hit rock bottom.
    They need to change big time or they will ultimately cease to exist.
    I am embarrassed by Trump every day because he is everything that is
    shameful about humanity.

    <https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/07/02/dhs-shatters-nationwide-border-records-once-again-delivering-most-secure-border

    "once-again-delivering-most-secure-border" ... with*out* a wall.

    <snip>

    Sigh.....


    With you demons, you take every opportunity to nit pick and attack Trump >>> yet you made excuses for 4 years in order to justify a calcified corpse as >>> POTUS and then, you demons, the party always squawking about losing democracy,
    sat by and watched a soft coup as Kamala was appointed without a single vote.

    Don't confuscate my views/statements with those of everybody else who
    has ever disagreed with you about anything. You might have better
    understanding if you engaged with me rather than assuming I'm a
    radical demolefty.

    I am not saying specifically you. There are of course exceptions but just
    the fact you are so TDS infected, you are going to get lumped into the same bucket. It's the same thing your side does to the republicans. We are not all MAGA loons that worship Trump. Personally I don't give a hoot who is POTUS as long as our country and citizens are protected and put first both in country and
    globally as in peace through strength.


    On one hand, I was pleased that Biden was putting so many resources
    into Ukraine against Russia. Otoh, I'm also glad Trump is forcing the
    Europeans to secure their own lands by making them pay for their own
    defense.

    Same.


    Afaic, requiring Europe to secure itself and Africa against Russia is
    necessary in order for us to police the Pacific and prevent conquest
    of the west by China.

    Agree again.

    Having been a finger's width from a peacenik in the nineteen sixties
    and seventies, I can yet appreciate the need for arming now against
    the dictatorships of Russia, China and the South.

    Agree again. I come from the "duck and cover" generation and remember it
    very well.
    We must be close in age.

    Depends.
    Direct libel without proof is libel and it's open season.
    Opinion pieces should be off limits.
    Celebrities are constantly suing the media so why shouldn't Trump.

    Now trying to completely shutdown the media like for example "The View" is wrong
    IMHO and Trump is playing with fire.

    I disagree with that.

    How come Stephen Colbert wasn't appointed?

    You voted for the Biden/Kamala ticket.

    You lefties are really scrambling here trying to conflate totally different issues
    and split hairs via semantics.

    Point is Kamala was appointed and annointed to be the democrat POTUS
    candidate without a primary and without a single population's vote.

    That's a fact.

    Suck it up and move on.
    Oh, and hope that it never happens again because the democrats just

    Compare inflation when Biden was POTUS to when trump made that statement. >>It is DOWN. This is what Trump meant. Not that it rised 1/10th of a point in the last couple of weeks.

    Look at the chart.

    Biden.

    2020 - 1.4%

    2021 - 7%

    2022 - 6.5%

    2023 - 3.4%

    2024 - 2.9%

    2025 - 2.7% so far.

    Between March 2020 and May 2021, the government injected $6T cash into
    our $23T economy. What happens when you increase the amount of money
    in an economy but not the amount of goods. And in actual fact, as the available spending money went up, the quantity of goods was far below
    normal.

    Irrelevant.
    Trump made a statement that inflation was down and compared to Biden it was. That is all there is to it.

    Another one you can't win.
    Move on.

    One down, two to go.

    I lost this post before completing my reply. The source I used gave
    2024 as 2.4% OR damned astigmatism!!

    In any case, inflation has been climbing since January and once the
    tariffs (finally) go into effect, its climb will be much faster.

    Bottom line is Biden destroyed the country via mass immigration and

    Isn't that an overstatement?

    It depends upon your perspective.
    For example, if you are a resident of NYC you are not very happy right now. Crime is sky high etc.

    If Biden's policies were left in place, at least the major ones, this country would soon look like EU which is a complete disaster at the moment.

    Mass immigration is wrong.
    It destroys the culture of the country especially when a large portion of
    the migrants have no intention of assimilating.

    This is not the 1930's here.
    It's completely different.

    But that's ok. Trump is the President by popular vote. His party has control of both Houses and the SCOTUS. From this point forward, the
    GOP and Trump cannot escape blame for anything bad or credit for
    anything good.

    First bad thing: Trump's massive tax increase on the working and

    Again, it's the statement that was/is being attacked and the statement

    Why/how/when doesn't matter, at least for this discussion.

    The point is that the US ended up with a President NOT selected by

    who
    was about to resign. But because, I suppose, those were

    That's the way the Constitution works.
    Nixon resigned and Ford became POTUS.

    Biden didn't resign.


    Neither did the rest of the
    one term presidents.



    If he had, Kamala would have been POTUS.


    Is that what you wanted?


    FWIW, the voters showed what they thought of Watergate, Nixon and
    the
    first appointed President first Tuesday in November 1976.

    Ford wasn't appointed.


    You think he was voted
    into office in 1974?



    Neither was Johnson.
    Both became POTUS via line of succession.

    Kamala was appointed as the democrat parties candidate.
    No primary.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024

    No votes.

    _Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries


    Nothing.
    These same soft coup elite could have appointed Stephen Colbert and
    technically it would have been the same thing.


    Kamala Harris was NOT inline to become the candidate for POTUS.
    Biden did not resign or die.

    Face it she was appointed.
    There was no primary election.
    No votes.
    Nothing.
    Don't you as a demon feel cheated?
    What happened to democracy?

    Nothing. The voters showed what they thought of Harris's
    appointment
    same as they did Ford's, didn't they? And I didn't see her or the
    'lefty msm' spend years shrieking about how the election was rigged
    either. The losers accepted the vote and that was that.

    For the 3rd time, Ford was NOT appointed.


    And neither was Kamala.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024
    _Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries

    I'm done wasting time with you.
    Your points are 100% invalid.
    Kamala was never voted for in a primary to become the POTUS candidate.


    The above cite proves you wrong.


    That's where the REAL threat to democracy is.

    Direct libel without proof is libel and it's open season.

    If the president can't be sued for libel, then he should be allowed to

    No taxes on Social Security

    Kamala Harris was NOT inline to become the candidate for POTUS.
    Biden did not resign or die.

    Face it she was appointed.
    There was no primary election.
    No votes.
    Nothing.
    Don't you as a demon feel cheated?
    What happened to democracy?

    Nothing. The voters showed what they thought of Harris's appointment
    same as they did Ford's, didn't they? And I didn't see her or the
    'lefty msm' spend years shrieking about how the election was rigged
    either. The losers accepted the vote and that was that.

    For the 3rd time, Ford was NOT appointed.
    Succession to the POTUS.

    How the voters felt after the fact is not a deciding factor.

    ROTFLMAO at how ignorant you demons are.

    Rather, how ignorant you try to portray them as.

    My party didn't appoint a person to run for POTUS
    without my having a vote.
    The democrats did and your party stood by and watched while
    at the same time accusing Trump, 24x7, as being a danger to
    democracy.

    It's laughable.


    Your party is a disaster and you know it.

    Agreed. The Dems are still trying to get their thumbs out of their
    assholes.

    Fair enough.

    It's interesting just how much Swilly gets wrong.

    George Washington never had a

    Adams or Jefferson or Madison or
    Monroe.

    Were their elections "undemocratic"?



    Those same people who annoited and appointed Kamala could have just

    There is no requirement that ANY
    party have ANY primary.

    Ehy are you so fixated on this?


    And the voters did not vote for her, or Kamala for that matter.


    And Republican voters never had

    It depends upon your perspective.

    And it depends on if that "perspective" is actually reality based.
    For example:

    For example, if you are a resident of NYC you are not very happy right now. Crime is sky high etc.
    because the reality is that NYC's crime rate is down:

    [quote]
    Index crime down 16.8% in all five boroughs, subway crime down 36.4%

    Double-digit declines in murder, robbery, grand larceny, and auto theft

    Lowest number of shootings in January since CompStat began tracking over
    30 years ago, including record five straight days without a shooting victim [/quote]

    <https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/pr006/new-york-city-crime-continues-decline-1-700-fewer-major-crimes-january-2025>

    Of course, the last time you were on a NYC subway was ... when?

    Mine was last Tuesday; except for delays on the F line, zero problems.
    If Biden's policies were left in place, at least the major ones, this country would soon look like EU which is a complete disaster at the moment.
    What "disaster" is this? Their willingness to maintain Rule of Law?

    As if you've been to Europe in the past ~decade to even know. The EU
    has had migrants regularly for a long time; I can recall walking past
    families sheltering in the Kobenhavns Hovedbanegard back in 2015.


    Mass immigration is wrong.

    The USA was literally built on it.

    It destroys the culture of the country especially when a large portion of
    the migrants have no intention of assimilating.
    Sounds like someone's never been to Chinatown in lower Manhattan, or
    Little Italy, both of which dates from the 19th century. FYI, NY's Feast
    of San Gennaro started in 1926: also well before you were even born.


    This is not the 1930's here.
    It's completely different.

    Different...how? Because the economy hasn't crashed yet? Or is this a
    racist admission that the prior immigrants who've left their mark by not perfectly assimilating into invisibility are somehow okay? Expound.

    This is the White Replacement bigotry.

    They tried to make the US a shrine of Englishism. After the Civil War,
    that project failed. The US is not a shrine of any culture. Or any skin
    colour. It is a shrine of certain legal and economic concepts. Anyone
    who accepts those regardless of race, religion, national origin, etc can
    come here to enrich the country and themselves.

    Bigots have realised white dudes are going stop being the majority. They
    are freaking out. They hired TACO to figure out some form of apartheid, segregation, ethnic cleansing, whatever to stay on top. And they are
    happy to destroy the nation and Constitution to achieve that.

    *Exactly*, you stupid fuck. The Constitution says nothing about how candidates for president are determined. Thus, there was no constitutional violation in Harris becoming the Democratic nominee.

    And that is why your democracy was violated.

    No, it was not.

    Those same people who annoited [sic] and appointed Kamala could have just

    Michelle Obama had no interest in running. Harris did have.

    And the voters did not vote for her, or Kamala for that matter.

    Irrelevant. Nothing in either party's rules say that the eventual nominee must be someone who ran in primaries.


    You have lost this one.

    No, he has kicked your ass, once again.

    You don't know a fucking thing about the history of determining presidential candidates. The primary system is a creation of *the parties*, and it is relatively recent. Primaries didn't even exist as a means of picking convention delegates until post WW II, and even then, they didn't pick the majority of delegates. From 1960 through 1968, only about 38% of Democratic convention delegates were determined in primaries. In 1972, that ballooned to about 60.5%.

    Even now, the Democrats have "superdelegates" who are not selected in primaries.
    These are certain Democratic officeholders and national committee members, and they are uncommitted, i.e. not pledged to any candidate. (The Republiscums/QAnon
    have a much more restricted system of superdelegates.) Democratic superdelegates
    only get to vote in the event that no candidate wins a majority of ordinary delegate votes on the first ballot.

    Being ignorant, you are unaware of the fact that in a contested convention, in which no candidate wins a majority of the delegates' votes in early voting rounds, it is conceivable — and perfectly acceptable under party rules — that a
    candidate who received very few, or *no*, primary votes could emerge as the party's candidate. And there is nothing "undemocratic" about it.

    You do not own an 800 hp Mustang. Just stop with that idiotic lie.

    Good catch. Doesn't say anything about political parties either. Does

    While I think annointing Harris was a mistake, the fact is, parties
    can select their candidates in any way they choose. They only have to
    answer to the voters.

    But that's the point.
    The democrats did an end run around the Constitution.

    You can't possibly agree with the elite appointing the candidate can you?

    If Biden resigned that is a different kettle of fish.
    But he didn't.
    He was forced out.

    If there was a primary held, all would be fine.
    There was none.
    You as a US citizen had no choice in who was the democrat candidate.
    Kamala was anointed and appointed.

    And clearly from the POTUS election, people did not appreciate Kamala.
    Who would?
    How many unaccounted for billions did she spend just to lose?
    Why aren't you guys upset?

    Trump may sue for defamation IF he can prove there was malice
    intended. Clearly no media outlet, except perhaps a radical leftist
    one, is going to deliberately and maliciously defame him.

    Trump will be required to prove that he was harmed, either financially or reputation wise by the media claims.
    It's not easy especially as he won't be running for POTUS again.


    Celebrities are constantly suing the media so why shouldn't Trump.

    In those cases, they're civilians suing over deliberate lies intended
    to cause harm to their reputations: malice. While the First has been
    applied to everything from politics to pornography, I think we can
    agree that free political speech was the prime reason.

    There is no difference.
    And while there are some libterties granted to the media regarding celebrities, of which Trump is one, libel/slander/defamation apply.

    No Internet.

    Ie:Trump is doing a horrible job because of xxyyzz.

    Libel/slander/defamation is a different ball of wax.
    Stuff like:
    Trump is a pedo
    Trump is on the take.
    Trump is a Russian asset.
    etc.

    Statements like that need to be proven.

    If they can, fine.
    If not, Trump has a case.

    In a nutshell, opinion is one thing but salacious statements without proof are something totally different. Why do you think talking heads tend to proceed their
    statements with "allegedly" ?


    Imo, this is just another distraction to keep the public from learning
    what the government is actually doing.

    I can't argue with that.
    No matter the side, they are all corrupt and in cahoots protecting each other as much as they can.

    That's where the REAL threat to democracy is.

    And the electorate voted accordingly.

    And who appointed her for the electorate to vote on?
    And why?
    How come Stephen Colbert wasn't appointed?
    He could have been.
    Did *you* get a vote?
    You voted for the Biden/Kamala ticket.
    Nothing else.
    Does the constitution say this is acceptable?

    Show us what the Constitution
    says about presidential primaries.

    Put it right here:

    Good catch. Doesn't say anything about political parties either. Does
    that mean we should ban them?

    While I think annointing [sic] Harris was a mistake,

    Harris was not "anointed." [one 'n' in first syllable]. When Biden announced his
    withdrawal, *all* pledged delegates he won in the primaries were immediately *released* from their pledges. They were free to vote for whomever they wished. That is the way the convention rules *work*.


    the fact is, parties can select their candidates in any way they choose.

    That is *exactly* right. There is no constitutional or statutory requirement for
    the parties to hold primaries. It would be extremely politically unpopular to do
    so, but the parties *could*, if they chose, revert to the proverbial "smoke-filled rooms" at their conventions, in which party leaders wheel and deal
    and select the candidate.

    It's important to note that that is *not* what happened a year ago at the Democratic convention. The delegates, those who were *formerly* pledged to Biden
    but who were *released* from their pledges when Biden withdrew, voted 99% for Harris. It was a legal, ethical and *fair* nomination.

    They only have to answer to the voters.

    And they basically do that at the general election.

    *Look*: in the general election, Trump beat Harris by less than 1.5 percentage points in the popular vote. *Clearly*, Democrats were overall quite pleased with
    Harris as the candidate. If Democrats had been greatly displeased with *how* Harris secured the nomination, their turnout would have been greatly reduced, and Trump would have won by a much greater margin. He didn't. The problem is simply that Democrats didn't turn out to vote.

    Here's a fact of which you can be 100% certain: *no* Democrat voted for Trump because they were displeased with how Harris secured the Democratic nomination.

    Why are you always moving the goalposts?

    He isn't.

    You are not female, and you don't own an 800 hp Mustang. But the fact that you aspire to one and are "into" high-performance cars is part of the proof that you're male (albeit not at all masculine).

    It's not an evasion.
    I have been very clear that I do not post my private information online.
    As for proving this that or the other thing, ask people who use their real name if they regret doing it.

    One recently popular poster in AFRL for example.
    this person has posted in the past that he (she?) is not worthy
    to wipe certain people's "pee pee".
    And with a real name BTW.

    How smart is that?

    I won't embarrass that person any further but You can easily figure it
    out via Google. That's how I stumbled upon it.
    And no, it's not a forgery by some super sock puppet like snit.
    The headers line up.

    Bottom line you can either believe what I say or not.
    That's up to you.

    the group's biggest hypocrite.




    "You don't have to believe my claim,
    and I don't have to prove it."
    David Hartung, Oct 24 2023
    https://tinyurl.com/9kren8aw


    What does Hartung have to do with anything?

    You're mimicking him, and he's tied with Kremlin Girl for being the
    worst hypocrites in this group.

    Why are you always moving the goalposts?

    He isn't.

    You are not female, and you don't own an 800 hp Mustang. But the
    fact that you aspire to one and are "into" high-performance cars is
    part of the proof that you're male (albeit not at all masculine).
    Not all guys are into high-performance cars, including detailed
    knowledge of various models, but *only* guys are.

    *Everything* about you screams "dweeby male":

    * your line of work
    * your education
    * your writing style
    * your interests

    By your writing style, I'm not just talking about your vocabulary,
    although that's a big part of it. I'm talking as well about the
    *physical* composition, which is peculiarly "dweeby boy." Here's a
    great example, from your pissing-and-moaning about how Harris became
    the Democratic nominee last year. In writing about what the
    Constitution says about primaries:

    That's the point.
    It DOESN't.
    And that is why your democracy was violated.

    There isn't a woman in the U.S. who would use those line breaks. A
    woman would make that all one paragraph, which happens to fit on one
    line:

    That's the point. It DOESN't. And that is why your democracy was
    violated.

    Just *stop* with this stupid fucking gag about being female. You're
    not — you're a dweeby male.


    It's not an evasion.
    I have been very clear that I do not post my private information
    online. As for proving this that or the other thing, ask people who
    use their real name if they regret doing it.


    But you demand that others post
    THEIR personal info online. Got it.




    One recently popular poster in AFRL for example.
    this person has posted in the past that he (she?) is not worthy
    to wipe certain people's "pee pee".
    And with a real name BTW.

    How smart is that?

    I won't embarrass that person any further but You can easily figure it
    out via Google. That's how I stumbled upon it.
    And no, it's not a forgery by some super sock puppet like snit.
    The headers line up.

    Bottom line you can either believe what I say or not.


    But you demand that others back up
    their claims while you do not. Got it.


    That's up to you.
    Topic closed from my end.
    Move on.

    Barak Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton.

    Not even close.
    Obama and Clinton had the media 100% behind them and while
    Clinton's sexcapades were news, the media still defended him
    at every turn.

    Either way NONE have even come close to the attacks Trump has
    received.

    The game changed when the GOP took the Congress in '95. That's when
    the mudslinging and hyperpartisanship really kicked off on the right
    due to the highly partisan Fox News.

    That was a single news agency vs the other 99% which are in the pocket
    of the democrats and always have been.
    No comparison.
    Oh, and I'm not a Foxnews fan at all. I find them loud, stupid and uninteresting.
    Levin is an exception as I have said many times.
    And I don't always agree with him either.


    The right spent hundreds of millions of dollars over thirty years
    trying to nail a Clinton on something and all they got was Bill lying
    about whether or not he'd cheated on his wife.

    Personally I always found the Monica incident hilarious.
    My take is powerful men take advantage of women. It goes all
    the way back to the beginning of time.
    Women throw themselves at powerful men. News at 11.
    Personally, I don't give a hoot.


    Btw, he was exonerated of the charges.

    I thought he was quite clever with his responses.


    Meanwhile the country suffered.

    It did.

    But none of that can even be compared to what is going on these days.
    Liberals love to bring up the topic of Hillary, Comey, Jan 6th etc
    being investigated multiple times with no findings but what they fail
    to mention is that those doing the investigating were deep state
    operatives so of course nothing was found.

    It's all coming out now and it's not going to be pleasant.
    Clapper has already admitted that he has lawyered up.

    Did *you* get a vote?
    You voted for the Biden/Kamala ticket.
    Nothing else.
    Does the constitution say this is acceptable?

    Show us what the Constitution
    says about presidential primaries.

    Put it right here:

    Good catch. Doesn't say anything about political parties either. Does
    that mean we should ban them?

    While I think annointing Harris was a mistake, the fact is, parties
    can select their candidates in any way they choose. They only have to
    answer to the voters.

    But that's the point.
    The democrats did an end run around the Constitution.

    How? Explain how the Dems' choice of Harris was a Constitutional
    violation. Article and Clause, please.

    Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution grants states the authority to determine the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding elections.

    Some states do not allow a candidate to be replaced midstream.
    Of course it is much more complex than that and is now something the courts need
    to resolve.
    Doesn't matter to republicans though because the day Kamala was appointed
    the celebrations were in full force within DC.
    You democrats could not have appointed a worse candidate.
    One part of me thinks that Biden, due to stupid people, might actually
    have won a second term.
    Word salad, box of rocks Kamala, not a chance in hell.


    Point is, you democrats did NOT get a chance to pick the candidate.
    You picked Biden and some unforeseen group of elites forced him out
    and appointed Kamala.

    Why do you democrats accept that?

    Seems like a coup to me.

    And please stop comparing it to situations like Nixon resigning, JFK getting killed
    and so forth because it is not comparable.
    Kamala getting APPOINTED is not covered by order of succession.
    Now if Biden resigned things would be different.
    But he didn't.




    You can't possibly agree with the elite appointing the candidate can you?

    No, but I'm not elite, Democrat or Republican so really, I have no say
    in how nominees are selected.

    Actually you do.
    It's called a primary.
    You were denied that right.

    Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution grants states the authority to determine the “Times, Places and Manner” of holding elections.


    The Constitution says *nothing* about primary elections. As far as the Constitution is concerned, those aren't even elections.

    But in 2024, the states *did* determine the times, places and manner of their primary elections...which they are not constitutionally mandated to hold.

    Some states do not allow a candidate to be replaced midstream.

    That's a lie. But once again, primaries elect *delegates*.

    Of course it is much more complex than that and is now something the courts need
    to resolve.

    There is *nothing* to resolve.

    Doesn't matter to republicans though because the day Kamala was appointed

    She was not "appointed." She was *nominated* by convention delegates in full accord with party rules.


    You can't possibly agree with the elite appointing the candidate can you?

    No one was *appointed*.


    No, but I'm not elite, Democrat or Republican so really, I have no say

    Actually you do.

    No.

    It's called a primary.

    The parties are not obliged to hold primaries.

    You were denied that right.

    No such "right." If an election is held, an eligible voter has a right to vote in it. If that election does not result in a candidate being elected, *no* voters' rights were violated.
