President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

DON’T YOU RUIN MY EXPECTATIONS YANKEEFAN

 

The legitimacy of "both sides" died this year. It's not impressive, interesting, insightful or correct.

 

I largely agree, if it wasn’t so apparent, in public and on this thread, that this issue is clearly shitty on both sides.

 

How was the reporting of Hatch's comments egregiously false?

 

The government can seek to revoke the U.S. citizenship of immigrants after the fact in cases when it determines a person willfully misrepresented or concealed facts relevant to his naturalization. But the government effectively does this in only the most egregious cases, such as instances involving terrorism or war crimes.

Gaps in Melania Trump's immigration story raise questions


New Immigration Rules Would Have Made 1990s Melania Trump a Deportation Priority


Her citizenship papers have not been released, nor have her applications for immigrant papers and work papers. Nothing that the orange douche and his family say can be taken at face value

 

But we were only talking about metaphorical lynching, so I guess it’s OK.

 

There's some degree to which I get it. I can't gin up as much outrage as a lot of liberals over Republicans doing Republican things like cutting taxes for the rich. W

But when you're a Roman in 55 B.C. or so, you've seen the conservatives and liberals swing back and forth in power struggles your whole life. There's real consequences to the ebb and flow, but everything stays more or less coherent as both sides have their waxes and wanes.

But eventually Caeser crosses the Rubicon and the system collapses. It's status quo bias to convince yourself it never will. And the system right now is being intentionally broken at every turn.

 

That’s not the link I was hoping for.

 

I’m shocked to learn you haven’t already learned about the poor reporting on this.

Actually, I’m not, because the reporting has been terrible. I’m going to let you look into this for yourself. You might learn something, including which news sources you should trust.

 

Look at the other guys! It's a conspiracy! Trump and his people sure lied a lot to cover things up, but that isn't evidence of anything!

Please don't look at him too closely....my orange-skinned hero.....oh no....sob....
