Here's my thought on Hegseth. No one should ever even need to bring up his sex life, drinking, or affairs: HE'S NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB. That...should be more than enough.

The Constitution is clear: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen.
I'm grateful there are still some within in our justice system, including GOP-appointed judges like this one, who refuse to abandon their oath of office to uphold this sacred document. apnews.com/article/birt...

Velázquez: Donald Trump did not care a bit about safer communities when he released those who were convicted of beating the shit out of police officers. So, don’t come to us and talk about security and safer communities when you do that

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

J6 criminals violently attacked police officers at our nation’s capitol and Donald Trump says this week they “had no choice.” A convicted felon and insurrectionist will be sworn in to the presidency, say he will protect & defend the constitution—and then mock this oath by abandoning the rule of law.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Amazing. David Perdue spent his entire business career getting rich by outsourcing American jobs to China. He’s no China hawk - the CCP was his business partner! These people say one thing to their sheeple then do the exact opposite of what their base believes they are doing.
