There must be educational and psychological requirements for elected officials, with testing and qualification.

We cannot afford more crazy dumbasses to be part of government.

What a crock of shit this guy is.

These are the right wing talking points. And it’s probably working.

pineapplebrz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Doesn’t say much about the Americans electing these idiots either.

That's the scary part.

No one is Illegal. Stop using the "I" word, just say undocumented. Stop dehumanizing people.

It’s a screenshot. This is like talking back to the television.

Who’s your audience for this?

How does he expect someone’s nationality to be established without due process?

People like this need to be removed and banned from holding public office for life, not to mention tried for perjuring themselves when they swore the oath

Note to voters: make sure the candidate you vote for has read the constitution. And has understood it.

ejtaub.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think they know. They're assuming their base doesn't. They're craven liars.

lerris.bsky.social•1 day ago

When you are elected to congress you are presumed to know the constitution. I see no reason to give any benefit of the doubt. If they don't know it, they should resign.

borealchrys.bsky.social•1 day ago

The point is they do know. They are lying to their constituents because they want their votes.

Maaaaan. I wish Donalds was only wrong about one thing, instead of the entire trajectory of his adult belief system.

Isn't this POS a felon? Shouldn't he be going to El Salvador?

tinsal.bsky.social•1 day ago

That Scalia quotation -- available as recording from SCOTUS -- should be played on repeat for the entire GOP.

jgschraiber.bsky.social•1 day ago

Due process is in fact the means by which we determine if someone is a undocumented immigrant subject to deportation! If you don't have it, there's nothing stopping from deporting a citizen!

krisve.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed and worse than that is when they stereotype immigrants as criminals for getting their status revoked. It’s sick and wrong.

jroberts548.bsky.social•1 day ago

Even just as a statutory matter they keep saying they can disregard the procedures in the INA. It’s like they’re using the word “illegal” in some sort of metaphysical or racial sense.

krisve.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s exactly what they’re doing. They’re dehumanizing people and saying the constitution only applies to those who they view as human.

Donalds will be reading and reaping in a mental institution

jfsnmar10.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Does Rep. Donalds not see the recursive argument in his own statement?

Probably not.

Donalds …….READ the darn Constitution.
Your ignorance is showing!

Unfortunately they don’t care what actual judges or lawyers say. They just make shit up and that’s their reality.

No shit. Does no one read history?

wsnixon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can he even read?

blaubaron.me•1 day ago

I don't even understand this analogy they are using of "GUESTS", especially since they lump permanent residents in that category... so what are they, permanent guests?

jbgaffney.bsky.social•1 day ago

This should be a straightforward fact check by any news person conducting an interview. It’s not partisan. It’s fact.

herbinthedmv.bsky.social•1 day ago

Call it what it is: a propaganda campaign disguised as legal theory. Their scripted talking points aren’t meant to persuade courts... they’re choreographed to gaslight the public and rewrite public perception.

byron for the loss. sacked, ball stripped, TD.

Coming from the guy who thinks black people were better off in Jim Crow era. Why are they all so stupid and in our government. I have never seen so many lies from so many people. Is this our new society

csboyle.bsky.social•1 day ago

And DPC of the 14th amendment requires states do the same. But compare privileges and immunities clause appears reserved for citizens.

realztenisfanz.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I keep wondering if this is now the US stance, what happens to Americans abroad? Do other countries treat US citizens this way? What happens when Americans aren't given due process in foreign countries? Do they get to complain when they are disappeared in the Caribbean? Europe? South America? Asia?

aprinterslife.bsky.social•1 day ago

Uncle Byron will say anything in an attempt to stay relevant and to be noticed by Trump. Constitution? What's that? So sad........
