The Reaper Should Have Gone To SpecSavers - Trump Thread #168

Thanks. You're right, yours is biglier 😂 We come here every year and basically can't leave the motel room without a mask since I arrived yesterday. The air quality is ranging from very unhealthy to hazardous. It is awful. There's ash falling. Puts a full stop to sitting/swimming at the beach but we're making the best of it with marathon thrifting & daylong canning, haha.

Made me laugh

Even Photoshop groups on Facebook are getting in on the Mitch McConnell story 😂

I had to look up 'mustelid'. Perfect word. I'm hoping some of those scent glands are intact.😈

Oh yes - silly me. I promise not to whistle in the dark around Trump. It may summon bats, for whom the latest trained mustelid atop his head would be a tasty prize.

Don't be silly Rep, you're whistling in the dark; way too much sense for this WH Regime.
Or the alternative reason being that Trump enjoys making the taxpayer pay for jollies meetings at his properties. Money to him is more important than effective and cheaper national security options.

Oh yes chippy tea. Food of the Goddesses.

If "National Security" is such an essential when hosting in relation to the big-balls-up-room, why does so much of the current hosting go on at his golf courses? Any caddy with an agenda could conceal a sabre alongside the nine-irons, surely?

And despite months of breathless "breaking news" from all the YT legal experts, Blanche is AG.

Not sure what to spend my winnings on yet. Friday chippy ?

Ballroom blocked again. This time a Fed appeals court.

His lawyers say, "National Security". The Preservation group Lawyer says " They just don't want to go to Congress".

Always the same theme.

I don't understand what you mean sorry, so I am in your "everyone" group.

I thought the issue with Trump is that he is demonstrating that the famed checks and balances are not enough. Because they were not expecting a wannabe King as dishonest and corrupt as him.

The birthright citizenship is all a front for the real issue, which is that what the president says is law. And was always meant to be. And that rather than preventing that, the entire raison d'etre of the constitution is to support that theory.

It's not Trumps fault that everyone these past 250 hasn't understood that.

It all confuses me. If he want's to end birthright citizenship it should be easy. Just change the constitution. Amend the amendment.

They managed an amendment in 1992. Ah wait, that took 200 years to do apparently. James Maddison introduced it in 1789.

Longer than 2 weeks then.

So who will save the US then ? Not SCOTUS. Not Congress. Not the states.

Henry ? The Mild mannered janitor ?

He done 2 EOs on it. First one:

Ending Birth Tourism – The White House

Second one :

Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship – The White House

This bit here is the headline I think.

"(a) either parent of that person is an alien enemy, defined to include any member of a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization under 8 U.S.C. 1189 or Specially Designated Global Terrorist, consistent with the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq., and Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 (Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), as amended;"

This bit here, "under 8 U.S.C. 1189" checking... and ....

"8 U.S. Code § 1189 - Designation of foreign terrorist organizations
U.S. Code

(a)Designation
(1)In generalThe Secretary is authorized to designate an organization as a foreign terrorist organization in accordance with this subsection if the Secretary finds that—"

So that is Rubio then. If he designates Denmark as a terror org, could be interesting. Congress not required ?

And this bit of the second EO overlaps with the first : "(c) either parent of that person engaged in a commercial transaction to purchase or access birthright citizenship for the person, or engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship, to include:"

I have no skin in this. But the US constitution is totally clear on 2 things so far as I can see. Birthright citizenship, AND.... how to change the Constitution.

This bit is worth a look:

"(d) the person is born in a territory or territorial waters of the United States where citizenship is not conferred by Federal statute."

Just checked to see if Puerto Rico is ok, and yes ok. Since 1941.

But American Samoa are in the shit. There is no federal statute I can see for them. So I expect they have filed papers already.

He's now signed an EO that 1-children of 'enemy aliens', 2-children born to people 'connected to a foreign govt', and 3-those whose parents committed fraud will not automatically be citizens.

Re 1- Gee, wonder who will make the determination that a person is an 'enemy alien'. Obvs that will include anyone who is brown and here illegally in the Scrotus Gang's minds.

Re 2-Children of those with diplomatic immunity are already an exception. The EO would open a broad category which I would assume would include the children of any individual who simply works for a foreign govt, and not just those in 'high places'.

Re 3- I suppose is aimed at 'birth tourism' as if someone falsifies a visa application to give birth here that's considered 'fraud', but the child still had citizenship.

It'll end up with SCOTUS. I didn't read the decision but I'm wondering if these 3 categories were mentioned as 'possible' exceptions. Alito and Thomas are rather fond of 'musing on the possibilities' if they dissent from a majority opinion. Scrotus, or most likely Nosferatu Miller, didn't pick those 3 things out of thin air.

So US nuclear strategy being redefined

Haha - it’s so obviously a hairpiece - but using real hair is the ideal type for this, he’s so cheap he probably thought re-use the way to go!

A family member chose to have one due to alopecia- it looks so much better than this just from local trichologist!

AI, but the lyrics!

Why is Trump wearing his late wife's hair?

I see Trump has decided that SCOTUS are wrong and he gets to end birthright citizenship anyway.

That’s hilarious, thank you for a great laugh this morning, @WhereDoesThisToiletGo I am v glad to have learned something new, before this I knew not of the existence of Jimothy.

OMG, "It's not elf on a shelf but wig on a pig" will have me smiling ALL day.😂

The internet is having a ball over Trump's suddenly luxurious blond locks
