AI, but the lyrics!

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!

So US nuclear strategy being redefined

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.

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.

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

Henry ? The Mild mannered janitor ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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?

Oh yes chippy tea. Food of the Goddesses.

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 - 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.

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

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

Made me laugh

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.

What exactly will "a string warning" achieve?

Can't open, but no need. There is more. Maybe a cCrap website below, but good enough when it comes to Trump.

Trump-linked figures set to profit from Greenland’s minerals | Global Witness

Critical Metals Corp is leading the charge of Trump-linked companies positioning to cash in on the administration’s renewed fixation on Greenland.
In October 2025, Critical Metals Corp became the majority stakeholder in Tanbreez Mining Greenland, a company that owns one of the world’s largest rare earths deposits, amid reports that the US government was considering investing in the company.

And

During Trump’s first term, Barnes – already the Tanbreez license owner – reportedly pitched the importance of Greenland’s minerals supply to the White House.
Then, in June 2025, Critical Metals Corp received a letter of interest from the US EXIM bank for $120 million to develop the site, in what would be the US government’s first overseas mining investment.

When it comes to conspiracies and Trump, the gloves are off. He is one of the lead conspiracy peddlers after all. So by my logic, all sites can be used.

The tone of that article indicated that the drilling will go ahead. Surely the Denmark gov't must have been aware of these activities and advising the Greenland authorities but Greenland has its own Benedict Arnolds.

They also have that guy wearing a MAGA hat sitting on a bollard in a Greenland harbour, still waiting for the hospital ship.

Unless a polar bear ate him. That might explain why we never heard any more about the hospital ship.

Hang on... checking internet... and wow... just wow.

The day a polar bear tried to eat the rudder of USS Connecticut fast attack Seawolf class nuclear submarine - The Aviation Geek Club

Polar bears have form for eating US navy ships. That's what happened to the floating hospital. No wonder they kept that quiet. But there it is. Join the dots and it is obvious. Once seen, it can't be unseen.

And now it makes sense why Trump started a war with Iran and not Greenland/Denmark. Because the US "kamikaze dolphins" would stand no chance against the Greenlandic/Danish chomping polar bears. And the seals would be useless too.

In fact, so what happened is that Trump sent the Hospital ship loaded with dolphins and seals to invade and take Greenland, and the bears ate them all.

And look, zoom into that bear photo, and it is wearing a Danish Navy cap.

Ahhhhh, a well needed laugh. Thank you!

My story makes more sense than most of what Trump and his crew come out with.
