Trump’s approval at 100 days lower than any president in at least seven decades
Trump’s approval ratings on economic issues have dropped notably since early March as the rollout of his tariff plan led to volatility in the stock market and worries about rising prices. On inflation, approval is down 9 points to 35%, and on tariffs themselves, it’s down 4 points to 35%. His marks for handling the economy are down 5 points to a career low of 39%; he hit his previous low once in his first term and again this March). Only about half (52%) express confidence in his ability to deal with the economy, down 13 points compared with a December CNN poll.

 Birthright citizenship has been the law of this land for quite some time and it matters not whether you think it is wrong. Trump deporting anyone who is citizen without due process is patently un-Constitutional. Trump isn’t giving any of these targeted people time to contact anyone who would be able to legally contest their removal. They are whisked away to a detention center and placed on a plane in 24 to 48 hours so if a court issues a “stay”… it is already too late, that person is no longer in the country anymore.

 In what bizarro universe is this OK? These people are just collateral damage to this broken process? What if the authorities mistakenly came for you based on some hearsay of some disgruntled neighbor who concocted some wild story about you and you were deposited in some country without being able to contest it? Are you willing to take one for the team then?

 And whatever happened to first focusing on all the illegal immigrant rapists, murderers, criminals and those released from insane asylums? If we are now deporting birthright children I guess there was far less illegal immigrant criminals in this country than Trump led you to believe.

Have a nice day and be careful to duck under doorways lest your pointy hat get creased in the process.

This is a grey area and involves the notion of anchor babies and so called birthright citizenship.  Birthright citizenship is headed to the SCOTUS.  I have been aware of this anchor baby problem from the 60's having been born and raised in a border state that was subject to this problem since then and before.  It was wrong then and is wrong now.  That has consistently been my position for over 55 years.  Longer than many of you have been alive or at least before you were out of diapers.

Well... since you've known about it so long... I mean, sure... I guess it makes sense we should ignore the rule that's been around 182 years longer than your concerns.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

So you fall back on "Headed to the SCOTUS?"   How exactly do you think they are going to read that?  Well...since the parents are illegals, the rights of the child granted by the Constitution don't matter?  Of course they won't.

So in a trial setting, you know....DUE PROCESS... you get a judge to say "your child has the right to stay, but you can't".  Leave the child with an aunt, a cousin, a friend, the state... do whatever you want, but you have 15 days to leave the US...with or without the child.   The US doesn't deport citizens...full stop!

Your repeated ignorance of the parts of the Constitution that you don't like is tiring.  Do you agree with the whole document or not? 

Make a choice, and if you agree with law and order as defined in the document, why will you never call out the current administrations joyful ignorance of those laws?


There is probably a particular something about the Dred Scott decision that he takes joy in.

So, to be clear, you don't support the 14th amendment, and you do support the Dred Scott decision?  This really isn't surprising.

"The president is not the boss of the American people. He cannot order them to embrace his priorities, nor is he supposed to punish them for disagreement with him. His powers are largely rhetorical, and even the most skilled presidents cannot shape an unwilling public.
What was it Trump said about Kim Jong-un, the North Korean dictator, during his first term in office? “Hey, he’s the head of a country. And I mean he is the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different,” Trump said in 2018. “He speaks, and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.”

He wants his people to do the same.

Trump rejects almost all of the Constitution: He rejects the equal status of Congress and the courts. He rejects the authority of the states. He does not see himself as a representative working with others to lead the nation; he sees himself as a boss, whose will ought to be law. And in turn, he sees the American people as employees, each of us obligated to obey his commands.  
Trump is not interested in governing a republic of equal citizens. To the extent that he’s even dimly aware of the traditions of American democracy, he holds them in contempt. What Trump wants is to lord over a country whose people have no choice but to show fealty and pledge allegiance not to the nation but to him."

This whole fuster cluck is the sole responsibility of the democrats with their open border policy the previous 4 years.  We had an invasion of at least 12 million illegals.  With the deliberate intent of overwhelming the system making removal unworkable due to at the very least, limited resources across the board. Hence Trump's remarks that it would take 200 years to deal with everyone, one at a time.  Things are going to go wrong trying to deal with 12 million new invaders not to mention the 20 million already here.  These are the consequences, the intended consequences, designed to create this humanitarian crises.

So don't bitch at Trump, bitch at the democrats for creating this mess.  It has become well established that we did not need new laws to secure the border as so many have claimed.  We just needed a new POTUS and the will to get it done.

All of you who supported this invasion have no right to complain about the cleanup.  Your support of the invasion invalidates your right to complain now.

I've seen some comments about 2A and tyranny aimed at the MAGA faithful.

But they're likely in I-don't-care-I-got-nothing-to-hide mode.
