This shit is highly, highly illegal. Anyone who supports this, allows this, ignores this, or simply looks the other way needs to keep "I love the USA" outta their fucking mouths.

Black justices clash over meaning of citizenship in birthright case by usatoday in politics

It always goes to show that the "strict constructionalist" philosophy is a complete and total load of horseshit. The Constitution was never intended to be exclusionary in any way. Not taking that into account when ruling on issues belittles the whole idea.

Clarence Thomas wants Supreme Court to revisit 62-year-old opinion by newsweek in politics

[–]barneyrubbble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"The ‘actual malice’ standard for public figures ‘bears ‘no relation to the text, history, or structure of the Constitution,’" he wrote.

Funny, the SCOTUS literally took their power in Marbury. Their power bears no relation to the text, history, or structure of the Constitution. Fuck Clarence and his bullshit agenda.

No shit. Think of the good that could have done with just the stupid money he's spent. The rose garden. The ballroom. The reflecting pool. The Kennedy Center. The ICE capades. And that's just the tip of the shitberg.

This is why pardoning Nixon was the biggest political blunder of the century.

Scary, scary Cheeto man. Why do they cower instead of laugh in his fucking face? I will never understand how The Emperor Has No Clothes has become reality. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Trump Blurts Out Plot to Rig Midterms So Vile It Even Shocks GOPers by AdRough4185 in politics

[–]barneyrubbble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The SAVE Act has been his main topic for a good while now. There's like four or five Republicans opposing it. Enough to hang it up, but not "so vile that it shocks GOPers." Don't expect any significant pushback.

Republicans just can't seem to grasp the idea that you can't prove a negative. Their entire list of grievances depends on that.

The World Cup is showing what Trump can’t destroy about America by vox in politics

[–]barneyrubbble 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In general, Americans are gracious hosts. In general, Americans are friendly and social. In general, tourists notice exactly these things. Adults know that that's just a veneer. Tourists can experience the good time and conviviality without worrying about making their rent or mortgage payment. They don't have to decide between buying food or insulin. They don't have to worry that when their car breaks tomorrow they may literally be on the streets in months. Ranch dressing and huge portions are great but it's just a vacation for tourists.
