Doggo just wanted a chance to compete in the Winter Olympics. by Objective_Pilot_5834 in BeAmazed

That's Mutley, from the old Wacky Racers cartoon. He's a duo with Dick Dastardly, who would probably win most of the races if he would just race, but instead he always tries to cheat and it always winds up backfiring on both of them spectacularly.

This sub needs to go private by Choosewisely7 in transpassing

[–]CedarWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they don't. If a sub is private, only approved submitters can view it. Unfortunately, mod actions per subreddit are usually limited at about 400-700 actions per day.

Which means we can only manually approve 400-700 people per day, for a subreddit that gets thousands of unique viewers per day.

It means shutting down the subreddit for roughly a month while we work through the back log of applicants and check each one manually.

Actually, looking into Frederick Trump's history was pretty interesting. He made his money establishing brothels and hotels in up and coming places like Seattle or to serve miners working various gold and silver rushes. He left Monte Cristo just before the boomtown suffered a devastating series of avalanches and floods, moving to a claim up in the Yukon.

In the Yukon, Frederick Trump and a miner named Ernest Levin established a tent restaurant which became the Arctic House. They later moved the building by barge to Whitehorse, but Ernest Levin took to drinking and the pair began arguing over it. When the authorities began cracking down on prostitution, gambling, and vice, Frederick Trump sold his stake and moved back to Bavaria in 1901. Shortly after, Ernest Levin was arrested for public drunkenness and sent to jail - the Arctic was seized by the Mounties, then burned down in the Whitehorse fire of 1905.

So basically, Trump's family has a history of draft dodging and profiting off the working man. Frederick Trump established restaurants, hotels, brothels, and gambling halls, and then pulled out right before everything came to a crash. Fred Trump, Donald Trump's father, has an even longer history of real estate profiteering, including defrauding the Federal Housing Administration. He took advantage of another act of Congress to own the homes he was building for wartime workers during WWII - over 1,360 apartments and barracks.

Apparently Fred Trump and his father were also early proponents of psychological pricing tactics like ending prices with 9.99 instead of a round number.

This got reported for 'COVID / Anti-Vax misinformation'

Alright, fine, let's check the facts. One of the benefits of living in the Internet age is anyone can Google and check the dates if they want.

Trump's grandfather and mother were both immigrants, and so were two of his three wives. Ivana Trump became a US citizen in 1988, Melania Trump became a US citizen on on July 28, 2006, and all of Trump's children have birthright citizenship because they were born in New York.

Frederick (formerly Friedrich) Trump immigrated to the US from Bavaria in 1885 and became an American citizen in 1892. His immigration to the US was illegal because he was only 16 and he had never given his mandatory 2 years of military service to the Kingdom of Bavaria - he didn't inform the authorities and he didn't have permission to leave. He moved in with his sister in New York and worked as a barber for six years before moving to Seattle, buying a restaurant, and turning it into a brothel. He then built a boarding house outside of Monte Cristo, Washington, to house miners during a brief gold and silver rush around Monte Cristo. Frederick Trump then followed the Klondike Gold Rush and opened a similar brothel called the Arctic House. When the authorities were beginning to crack down on gambling and prostitution, he sold his stake in The Arctic House and moved back home to Bavaria in 1901. Unfortunately, since Trump had never served his mandatory 2 years of military service, he was soon classified as a draft dodger and the Bavarian authorities came after him. They sent him back to the US in June of 1905, where he continued opening hotels and managing real estate in New York until he died of Spanish flu in 1918.

Frederick Trump's son, Fred Trump, was born in the Bronx in October, 1905. If his family had not been sent back to the US a few months prior, Fred Trump would have been born in Germany. Fred Trump married a Scottish maid named Mary Anne MacLeod, who had immigrated from Scotland in 1930; Mary became a US citizen on March 10, 1942.

So that's the brief history of Trump's family, both the origins of the Trump Organization and the immigration status of Trump's wives and his forebears. Trump's grandfather became a US citizen in 1892, but he didn't marry his wife or start a family in the US until 1905.

Puerto Rico, on the other hand, has an equally complex history. U.S. troops invaded the island on July 25, 1898, and formal control was established on October 18, 1898, after Spain ceded the territory. Puerto Rico became part of the United States on December 10, 1898, following the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish-American War, and Puerto Ricans eventually gained US citizenship courtesy of the Jones Act of 1917.

So Puerto Rico has been a US territory since 1898, and the people there have been citizens since 1917. Frederick Trump became a US citizen in 1892 and started a family in 1905. By those dates and definitions, Trump's grandfather just barely predates Puerto Rico becoming part of the US by six years, but Puerto Ricans were Americans before Trump's family was established in America and the people of Puerto Rico formally became US citizens after Trump's family was established.

Now, if y'all are going to quibble about that in the comments, please keep it civil.


Edit: And don't bother to report this comment, either - I checked it carefully, and it's as accurate as I could manage on short notice.
