Does he own a pizza restaurant?
Should’ve come here first…I posted about this over in the Bundy pit thread (Shea is very much Bundy-adjacent). Apparently he is calling them his “prospective daughters”. CREEPY!!!
Not that I know of, but I’m guessing his church has a basement. 
Yeah, but how’s their pizza?
Juicy.
Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota wants her fireworks display, natives and wildfires be damned!
“Many of the reasons presented for their denial have been previously addressed, indicating that these reasons are not in good faith,” said Noem, who has led the charge to return fireworks to the monument.
Last year, a federal judge in Pierre rejected Noem’s arguments, calling them a “short-term” win for tourism while damaging the “long-term interests” for the state, including its relationships with local tribes.
Hmmmm………these smells like another one of Jeffrey Clark’s insurrection schemes in what he refers to as the Civil Cold War.
Here’s Clark’s article on the subject.
Or, for those that don’t want to contaminate their fingers by clicking a link to American Greatness, here’s an article about the article. It also explains the scheme.
John Eastman also wrote the racist editorial in Newsweek where he claimed that Kamala Harris isn’t eligible to be Vice President, because her parents were born in foreign countries, so that means she isn’t a US citizen
There is something wrong with our society that this guy, and others like him, are still walking around un-incarcerated.
By that “logic”, AFAICT there is no current or past President or Vice President who was eligible for the job.
Because all of them were ultimately descended from ancestors who were born in foreign countries, meaning that the US-born children of those foreign-born ancestors (e.g., Donald Trump’s father Fred Trump, who was actually conceived in Germany though born in the US of German-born parents) don’t count as US citizens, meaning that the US-born children of those “non-citizen” children don’t count as US citizens, and so on.
Either birthright citizenship, irrespective of parental citizenship, is a valid citizenship criterion or it is not. And if it is, then there’s no logically defensible justification for arguing that it’s valid for, say, the parents or grandparents or remote ancestors of Presidential candidates but not for Presidential candidates themselves.
First sentence of the 14th amendment:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand.
It is when you try to not understand.
The only argument I’ve read that hangs together at all (and that only barely) is that the amendment was referring to people alive at the time of ratification. Of course, it has never been read that way, but it is a possible reading at least.
You’d think they’d have been a bit clearer on that if that was the intent, but it’s not like the 2nd amendment is a marvel of clarity.
ISTR whole threads on this board debating the meaning of the phrase “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” with some maintaining that undocumented foreign citizens (and their kids) are not subject to US jurisdiction and therefore the kids are not citizens.
Utter bullshit if you ask me, but that’s the thread some on the right seem to cling to.
To a Republican, what the constitution says is to be ignored once it conflicts with that Republican’s racism.
Republican constitutions have this written at the end in sharpie: “… unless they are Democrats”
By that logic, children of foreign nationals who are born in the United States may commit any act that to the Republican definition of ‘citizen’ would be illegal – theft, fraud, murder, etc. – and suffer no consequences because they are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
You’re giving the idea far too much credit.
Here are the eight Republicans who voted against the bill on Thursday:

I’m sure no one is surprised at these Haters of Freedom and America.
