Cringing assessments of how bad this is hurting the GOP with suburban women are way overblown.
When you’re pressing buttons, punching holes, or filling ovals for a local mayor or the congressional representative, you’re not thinking about what Rachel Maddow was ranting about last week.
After a two-year drumbeat of pure hatred, people get pretty tired of the drummer and ignore the beat.
My experience has been that those who already bought the BS on Trump are sucking it up, unsurprisingly. But they don’t seem to be adding to their numbers.
THE MEANING OF THE KEY PHRASE IN THE 14th AMENDMENT
President Trump is SPOT-ON. He CAN halt BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP with an Executive Order. It WILL NOT require amending the Constitution!
PLEASE SHARE this information. We’d better halt the ignorance out there BEFORE the left DESTROYS AMERICA!
The INTENT of the drafters and the MEANING of those key words “...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof...” is crystal clear!
From the debate notes surrounding the enactment of the 14th Amendment at this site:https://www.numbersusa.com/content/learn/ethics-population-and-immigration/fourteenth-amendment-debate.html
“The jurisdiction requirement was added to the original draft of the Fourteenth Amendment by the Senate after a lengthy and acrimonious debate. In fact, Senator Jacob Merritt Howard of Michigan proposed the addition of the phrase specifically because he wanted to make clear that the simple accident of birth in the United States was not sufficient to justify citizenship. Sen. Howard noted that the jurisdiction requirement is “simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already.” Sen. Howard said that “this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”
I have a cousin with a rare blood disorder. You usually don’t live past 40 (used to die as a kid before treatment came about) and usually can’t have kids.
A Jewish kid fell in love with her and married her knowing all this.
She’s Italian. Roman Catholic. As is the whole clan :)
She’s in her 40s now and they did have a child who is thriving.
I asked him once more than 20 years ago “You never thought twice about the fact that it could be a devastatingly hard life for you and that you likely won’t have kids?”
He said “I love her”
Crazy kid. With a heart of gold.
Still get a kick seeing her married last name on invitations and holiday cards :)
First extended family without a vowel at the end of the name!! :)
The attacks have been so over-over-over the top, nobody would believe them.
There are plenty of opportunities for reasoned and rational criticism of any President, but the Dems have let their Trump Derangement drive them so far off the deep end, people have stopped listening.
I have long believed that this election will be a wave election. It will either be deep blue or deep red. People went way out on a limb to elect
Trump. He was politically unproven and we took a big chance. For two years Trump has made his voters feel like biblical prophets for electing him.
Also, many on the fence or opposed to Trump have seen the positive effects and feel reassured. If Trump had fallen on his face all these voters would not be going to the polls and not backing Trump. Therefore I am of the opinion that this will be a deep red crimson election.
Democrat/media have been touting this blue wave for two years and it has never materialized. the resistance movement has been there since day one. They have had two years to make their case. They have convinced no one. The left and the dems know this in their gut, hence the crazy October behavior. They have pushed the panic button and have further destroyed their chances. I would be very surprise if republicans don’t do much better than most of us expect.
So the guy sending “potentially explosive devices”: has there been anything out suggesting they were intended to actually explode? I’ve been busy the last few days.
The best desperate and idiotic attempt was this mornings story that someone tried to Kavanaugh Muller. Muller! The man holding the emptiest hand ever held by anyone anywhere! Who the hell would bother!?
I find the assertion that the left is the friends of Jews laughable (especially the European left). But even in the US the left tend to bash Zionism and Israel, and carry water for the Palestinians. Can we argue that the left has created an environment of hostility with its anti-Israel message and some of the intolerance on college campuses, and from some black leaders like Al Sharpton?
I tend to believe that most democrats have o.d.d. which stands for oppositional defiant disorder.
