Well… technically Brian probably had birthright Roman citizenship, even if Monty Python’s Biggus Dickus denied his paternal involvement.
Ref: “Life of Brian” for those very few who have no idea what I am raving about.
(I assume being half Jewish, Jesus himself would qualify for at least Judean citizenship, especially by matrilineal descent)
Can we label arguments that “The President can’t do that because that falls under the purview of Congress” null, void and stupid?
Yes, because
Also yes. At least until the Democrats take back a House.
And he’s Greek! You know what they say about them! 
Note: Am am not making a homophobic remark. I am mocking Trump’s/Republican’s homophobia.
Don’t we have a thread about that?
They like to give you gifts? They’ve lost their marbles?

Not Jesus! He’s all-American!
I’m watching clips from Trump’s press conference today and he looks awful. A lot worse than normal. He can’t stand up straight and keeps swaying around while he’s at the podium. His bald spot is showing. He called Steve Scalise “Skeve” and couldn’t remember Usha Vance’s name at all, struggling to spit it out before coming up with “the wife of our first of our great vice president” who “loves the concept of Greenland”. He looks like he hasn’t slept in days and the lighting seems to be unusually dim as if his eyes can’t handle the brightness.
He’s not well.
I’m sure we’ll hear all the speculation in the New York Times in the next few days.
If you have an iron stomach and want to watch the whole thing:
LIVE: Trump, Gov. Landry announce new Louisiana economic project
Trump finally walks in at the 11:20 mark.
Trump is asked the question about The Atlantic article at the 24:37 mark.
Right, so 45/47 collapses under the accumulated weight of a life of indulgence/indolence.
25th is invoked.
Vance gets his butt behind the Resolution desk.
You’re saying this is a good thing?
You would rather I should be praying for Trump’s long life and good health?
Yes, for the remainder of his term.
You can rely on his Zaphod complex to cause all manner of grief.
It’s his enablers who will sink the ship if given keys to the Executive washroom.
Watching the video, the thing I notice, particularly later in the clip, is that he’s not using his arms at all. He’s not doing his famous invisible accordion routine, or any other gestures. It’s weird, because his inability to not use stupid gestures was always one of the things that bothered me the most about watching him talk.
I wish him a comfortable convalesence in a suitable old age home. Hell, I’ll chip in for the McDonalds orders.
The sooner the better though.
As for Vance, he’s an equally petty small man, so I’d not pay for his hamberder.
He has my thoughts and prayers.
Prayer it is, then. Psalm 109 comes to mind.
Well, we’re pretty much beyond anything “good” happening anywhere near this administration.
But for whatever unfathomable reason, Trump holds some sort of cult-like sway over a very large number of people. Vance, not so much. With him in charge, yeah, it’d still be a shit-show, but it’d likely be a shit-show with lots more infighting and pushback, which might be a bit less successful at ruining lives and destroying democracy.
Well there you go, I thought that Psalm 109 was the extent of 45/47’s song book.
And how’re the whole mass deportation and ensuring justice things going now? Glad you asked!
Ah, yes. Good move, Firxt Felon47! Let’s deport a terrorist you promised to prosecute.
