His personal behavior would disqualify him if he were a plausible nominee. But that’s the thing: he shouldn’t have been in this position in the first place.
there's a ton of shit that should disqualify Pete Hegseth from running the DoD but the fact that he's a dipshit troll who shouldn't be in charge of anything as important as the military should disqualify everyone who supports this nomination

Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold while he and his billionaire buddies stay warm and cozy inside is the most Trumpian thing in the history of Trump.

This is a trend that is much broader than Philly. Murder rates (and other violent crimes) have declined dramatically for several years nationwide.

With only two weeks left in the year, Philly is on track to have its lowest number of homicides in a DECADE, and its third-best year since 2007.
Down 37% since last year, down FIFTY PERCENT since 2022.
The entire Covid spike, absolutely wiped out.
And the coverage? Basically crickets.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:

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.
