And for that reason they are at best gullible fools, seeing as Trump's own tax plan has increases scheduled for this year, '23, '25, and '27. Not for corporations and billionaires, mind. They need to pull their heads out of their asses and realise the Democrats became what Republicans once were way back in the Clinton days, and stop voting for racist, regressive garbage "cuz muh taxes" 1 minute ago, The Real Maroonblood said: Probably only about 65 million of them are nut jobs.

Sharpie Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 33 minutes ago, Barack said: Bit embarrassing for one military chap at Arlington Cemetery, waiting on Biden. Standing there hatless. Quick scan...lying at the bottom of the steps about 20 feet away. I saw that I didn't see the hat nearby but I wondered if he my have been part of the Ceremony that he was hatless as a part of what he was going to do. There were enough officers around that if it was an accident situation it would have been proper in the British army to replace the headgear. There was in fact a drill movement that removed you from the position of Attention by moving the instep of your right foot into the heel of the left foot. This was done formally and allowed the use of the hands to return the head gear, as these are the Old Guard troops and their duties are mainly Ceremonial I am sure they would have a way of correcting a blown off hat. I have been to Arlington and watched their Guard at the Tomb, nothing like I was taught but very smart in its own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, calling them foolish for voting against their own interests because they swallow the most inane of propaganda, hook line and sinker? No longer coddling their thinly veiled racist politics couched in schoolboy understanding of economics? Pandering to people like that was ach well a big component how we got 2017-now in the first place, not that the Democratic establishment doesn't deserve equal (or more) scorn. Regardless, I don't give a **** if they don't like it, they're not going to gaslight me or anyone into taking blame for their terrible choices.

Is he the kind of moron who would believe this, or is he saying it to stir up the morons who would believe this? I don't think he's actually that thick, he's just an absolute snake. Cruz on Trump in 2016: "We need a commander in chief, not a Twitterer-in-chief. ... I don't know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on the button. I mean, we're liable to wake up one morning, and Donald, if he were president, would have nuked Denmark." And we all know how that went, as the likes of him and Lindsey Graham joined the ranks of the *****'s biggest defenders. But if Cruz is now going to act this thick, I saw we mock him for being that ****ing thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exact point has never been litigated, but the constitutional requirement that the president be a "natural born citizen" can well be interpreted to mean the person didn't have to go through an immigration/naturalisation process to gain US citizenship. According to the laws as they were when Cruz was born, a child born to a citizen mother gets her citizenship at birth. We can even go back to English common law for indicators and everything points to him being eligible, just as even Barack Obama would have been because of his mother's citizenship if he'd actually been born in Kenya.
