Who would have ever thought that a woman who murders puppies would turn out to be so cruel and heartless?

When Epstein was asked under oath if he ever partied with Trump in the presence of minor girls, he pled the Fifth Amendment

“… the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; … it’s already public that Trump [is] referenced in court documents related to the case and Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing.”
A woman swore in an affidavit that Trump raped her in 1994 when she was 13 at an Epstein party but ok

Seems that to conclude someone has a problem requires thinking about that someone, no?

So the one thing she has said that rational, ethical people can agree with (that Trump taking a billion-dollar bribe in the form of a bloated jet is concerning) is the thing that made Trumpworld turn on her?
That tracks, actually.

The second em dash should come before, not after, the word “to.”

Sure, Grandpappy McFuddlepants, 82 million listeners and Top 10 in the world is stone cold not hot anymore.

Gee, I wonder why public trust in media is so abysmal these days

That’s not a “carve-out for fathers.” It’s expressly stating that the US will not recognize the citizenship of children born in the US if neither parent is a US citizen even if the non-citizen mother is residing legally in the US
Again, irrelevant to the Trump kids

Which Republicans have come out in opposition to the cuts? That’s right, none. Why are you engaging in apologetics for the GOP death cult?
comment in response to
post
Yes, it was all Trump’s doing. Trump is the leader of the Republicans. He has a 95% approval rating among Republicans. And the Republican Congress has done nothing to oppose his illegal and unconstitutional actions or to reverse them through legislation.
So, yes, Republicans did this

No, they aren’t. Neither the language of his EO nor the case at the Supreme Court today will have any impact on anyone who was born in the US with at least one parent who was an American citizen at the time of birth. Why do you insist on pushing this disinfo?
comment in response to
post
No, his executive order (which I vehemently oppose, ftr) purports to do away with birthright citizenship for any child born on US soil if neither of the parents is a U.S. citizen or legal resident. Since all of his kids had one parent who was a citizen, they would not be affected by his order
comment in response to
post
You are confusing the issues, though. Those kids are citizens, and their citizenship status will not be affected by the case at the Supreme Court. Nor will the Trump kids’ citizenship status.
The horror of ICE deporting kids who are citizens with their non-citizen parents is a separate issue

Their father is a US citizen, though, so they are not anchor babies
comment in response to

But their father was a US citizen, so completely irrelevant to the topic at hand

You know, you don’t *have* to parrot Trump’s propaganda by referring to it as a “big beautiful bill” in every story about it. That’s a choice you make. A bad one. Maybe stop doing that, eh?
