Senators with souls. If you want to make it stick.
Naw, it will be Obama’s fault.
Epic troll from POTUS. I found it very amusing, but I’m sure the regulars of SDMB will be pissed.
“A sad day for the Democrats, Kirsten Gillibrand has dropped out of the Presidential Primary. I’m glad they never found out that she was the one I was really afraid of!”
Donald Trump
To clarify (and this is important):
I truly do not understand the point of this. It’s directed at naturalized citizens only (like Don’s grandpa :rolleyes: ) and the impact in numbers is small (which does not excuse the heinousness of it!). But who is this PR move aimed at? Who is it supposed to appeal to? Is this something his base is going to lap up? It seems to be part of his overall war on anyone NOT born in the United States who has the audacity to act like they have citizenship rights.
That actually is reasonably clever. I wonder who wrote it for him. (Note the absence of spelling and punctuation errors.)
No WORDS in all caps? Yeah, whatever. Guess I’ll have to rethink my understanding of the word “epic”.
It only seems clever because his tweets are usually so pathetic. Even a D+ joke will look good when compared to a series of F- tweet-a-rhea.
It will make people scream that he’s taking citizenship away from the troops’ children, and then Faux News will report how it’s a narrow case that only applies to <100 people a year whose parents were Not Born Real Americans to begin with, then the Base will cheer heartily at how the libs were so easily triggered into overreacting.
And if it discourages people who were Not Born Real Americans from serving in military or foreign-service jobs, hey, “winning!”
He did end it with a preposition.
Prepositions are perfectly good words to end sentences with.
Oh hell, could anyone use a Randy Rainbow break?
Cheeto Christ Stupid Czar
(Cheeto christ, Cheeto christ; He’s like if Jesus were pumpkin spiced.)
He’s trying to retroactively deny citizenship to Senator John McCain.
I think LAZombie should probably rethink his.
Oh yes thank you.
It’s supposed to keep people from following up on that ‘Donald told people he’d pardon them if they broke any laws in the process of making his Wall happen’ story.
Because if there’s good evidence that he did, even his GOP protectors might have trouble going on with the protectin’.
The Trump Administration Now Wants to Deport Children With Cancer
*The administration quietly eliminated a program that allowed severely ill undocumented immigrants and their families to remain in the United States for medical care

Well, we know the Statue of Liberty poem was discarded long ago. I can just picture Stephen Miller tapping his fingertips together and saying “Excellent!”
Trump has cancelled his trip to Poland to observe the 80th anniversary of the start of WWII, so he can stay home and monitor Hurricane Dorian.
The first time he’s shown any interest in natural disasters – the fact that it’s bearing down on his property is purely a coincidence.
And of course he could “monitor” just as easily from Poland.
Trump supposedly doesn’t like to travel internationally unless the host country throws him a big gala. He didn’t want to go to the G-7 meeting to actually work with other world leaders and I’m sure has no interest in going to Poland. He’s probably a fan of the Nazi invasion of Poland–“greatest use of blitzkrieg in history!”
It would be poetic justice if his properties got hammered, though.
If Mar-a-Lago does get hammered, he’ll be in a no-win situation if Floridians, especially Puertoriquenos, are not already energized against him (I assume those who vote vote against him already, but some might not bother yet.)
If he pours money into Florida, the contrast between helping his own property recover versus the forthright unwillingness to do so for Puerto Rico will be unavoidable. But if he doesn’t provide a lot of relief for Florida, then he’ll be ignoring Florida.
Florida gets the extra-absorbent double-ply paper towels.
