also birth certificates are issued by counties and there are what like 3000 counties in the US? we have no national standard for what they say. how are you gonna find out parents' status? setting aside the more important issues, this is a logistical nightmare. admin burden forever
It really cannot be stressed enough that if we don’t have birthright citizenship we don’t have citizenship.
The only Americans who have any proof of citizenship are either naturalized adults or the tiny fraction of natural born citizens who are born abroad. Everyone else has birthright citizenship.

the ultimate example of the problem here was when lefties yelled at Biden that SCOTUS was going to ruin his administration, and he appointed a blue ribbon panel who said "do nothing," and Biden went "well hands tied," and then SCOTUS repealed half his achievements and crowned Trump a king

We will have to come up with a new constitutional framework to deal with the reality of the fact that the United States government was taken over by a criminal enterprise.

It’s so funny that the main impact so far of Trump throwing a fit about “treacherous” senators has been to drive coverage of his war crimes and to hugely elevate the profile of the popular astronaut senator from a key swing state who visibly loathes him
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

I feel like 30 percent support for going to war with Venezuela—a terrible idea that nobody has bothered to justify through reason or propaganda—is a pretty good proxy for Trump’s floor of support.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

If the parties were reversed here, we’d currently be blanketed with ads and speeches detailing all the crimes that were later committed by people who assaulted police but were pardoned by the president.

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power.
If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.
