Are we taking bets?

banpoman.bsky.social•95 days ago

then 3 of his children are anchor babies - and his wife was an legal alien- as well

booknblues.bsky.social•95 days ago

Let's hope it will fail.
I'm not optimistic how the present Scotus will rule on anything.

teresamyers.bsky.social•95 days ago

Always the CRIMINAL.....always trying yet another way to his end game....hoping for an 'opening' ...a vulnerability...CRIMINAL THINKING 101.

oldfatgrannie.bsky.social•95 days ago

Does this include his 4 anchor babies from 2 immigrant women, 1 of whom is likely illegal? And their imported extended families, some of whom are documented Communist partt officials? If so, I'm all for it!

dbc105.bsky.social•95 days ago

It may fail but it will not stop him from doing it. The biggest problem with Trump and the Trumputians is their complete and total lack if interest in the law or the Constitution. Most I've asked can't tell you what the 2nd Amendment says and it is one of the shortest. You get what they think.

jimobx.bsky.social•95 days ago

Amendment 14, sec 3 also says that an insurrectionist can't hold public office ever again. How's that working for us ?

jer7138.bsky.social•95 days ago

Last I saw, the highest Court in the land was stacked with his people.

Or, we could erase all evidence of the white people born on soil stolen from the Native people.

aeinstein.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump is a man who refuses to abide by rules and laws. When the Constitution stands in the way of something that he desires, he'll go around it and, if necessary, destroy it!

The Constitution be damned. The people have spoken.

crmomma.bsky.social•95 days ago

Every single person came from immigrants! Is he gonna deport us all?

ogg921.bsky.social•95 days ago

For his deportation thing to work, doesn't he need birthright citizenship revoked retroactively? He can't LEGALLY deport US citizens (even minors), right?

elan8000.bsky.social•95 days ago

famous last words. If the "supremes" decide, we are done.

carolh747.bsky.social•95 days ago

Wouldn’t that make Baron deportable?

aj-b.bsky.social•95 days ago

Was his own mother a citizen when he was born?

dollymad1812.bsky.social•95 days ago

This will also hurt the Russian anchor babies in Florida.
Or will there be a special exclusion for the white babies?

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/birth-tourism-brings-russian-baby-boom-miami-n836121

cassiekey.bsky.social•95 days ago

There will definitely be a special exclusion

gmayogi.bsky.social•95 days ago

Does anyone of his big tough guys have the nerve to tell 45 he looks like a total bar act and he's humiliating himself with like 60% of the US and most of the conscious planet???

chucky-dub.bsky.social•95 days ago

“None of the justices has suggested they would like to revisit Wong Kim Ark” but didn’t ACB write that the 14th Amendment was possibly illegitimate?

midefd.bsky.social•95 days ago

I hate to be that guy, but the Constitution is only a piece of paper. Hell, Russia has a “Constitution”. Rule of Law depends on the people upholding it; are we confident it will stand after what we’ve seen the last decade?

cassiekey.bsky.social•95 days ago

This

bluewave26n28.bsky.social•95 days ago

Many American Father's may have something to say about this no?

rayleengale.bsky.social•94 days ago

teemike.bsky.social•95 days ago

Hell, he wants to do an end run around the entire document! Generalissimo Trump, President for Life!

wonderflonium.co•95 days ago

You're putting a lot of faith in the courts deferring to the Constitution over Trump.

rdmullin.bsky.social•95 days ago

Do you think that the anticipated acquiescence by SCOTUS toward the next administration’s constitutional challenges to avoid direct confrontations will have the same diminution of its authority by eroding Marbury v Madison?

cassiekey.bsky.social•95 days ago

They are all in. They are so done with challenging the challengers of the constitution. Trump, Vance, Oligarchs, Heritage Foundation, House Speaker, Senate Majority leader, and all of MAGA know that. The Democrats are still hoping and praying that the constitution is a beloved protector.

rivermayor.bsky.social•95 days ago

Melania Trump wasn't a citizen when she gave birth to Barron Trump.

mariaelisabettaphd.bsky.social•95 days ago

I wish I could be as optimistic as you are. He will ignore the constitution and I am sure the 6 conservative Justices will go along

xenomorphlv426.bsky.social•95 days ago

Let's give him some hard losses right off the bat. The weaker he looks, the better.

melindamazoue.bsky.social•95 days ago

The high court gave Trump Immunity. They will also give him what he wants here. There will be no branch of Gov’t to uphold the Constitution once Trump is back in Office.

hazelblonde33.bsky.social•95 days ago

Let’s start with his wife’s family

tampatom69.bsky.social•95 days ago

In a sane world, I would not doubt this for a second. Professor. But it appears we have now entered The Twilight Zone.

factsonlyplease.bsky.social•94 days ago

Trump should test it out on Barron first.

lunapiena111.bsky.social•95 days ago

The constitution will be history on January 20.

redgp.bsky.social•95 days ago

So pray you're right, Mr. Tribe.

murrmc143.bsky.social•95 days ago

Your views are always correct. And always a failure. Sad.

parkerscriv.bsky.social•95 days ago

Deport Barron first!

justksmith.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump doesn't understand words.

kzcomments.bsky.social•95 days ago

He seems to be playing 3D chess while dems are playing jacks

rjregan.bsky.social•95 days ago

Targeted individuals only. Asians, Hispanics, Africans, but NOT children of Russian criminals.

askgma.bsky.social•95 days ago

But the constitution that directed the founders to disqualify insurrectionists under article 14, paragraph 3 can be blown by because of why?

xrefugee2.bsky.social•95 days ago

I agree with this. People come here to have anchor babies. BS to that.

wayneblauvelt.bsky.social•95 days ago

Dosent that mean, his children can be deported, none of his wives were citizens when they had his children.

ptrprkr.bsky.social•95 days ago

How many think that if Trump had the original Constitution, currently housed at the National Atchives, in his tiny little hands, that he wouldn't for a moment, hesitate to tear it up?

laart20.bsky.social•95 days ago

By that logic, four of his five kids are not American. 🤬

marymason66.bsky.social•95 days ago

Perhaps we'll be able to get them deported?

laart20.bsky.social•95 days ago

debbie156.bsky.social•95 days ago

He doesn’t care about the constitution. The bought and paid for SCOTUS will do his bidding.

ctalleyrand.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump is acting like a dictator and his coterie approves. And his coterie is becoming the entire apparatus of government. His orders are becoming less an end run and more a quarterback sneak.
This is the new normal. America elected a Dictator.

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•95 days ago

I find it interesting and a bit alarming perhaps that anyone at this point thinks that the rule of law will prevail and that the constitution matters. And that there will ever be a free and fair election

patek-svendsen.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yep, what does the constitution say about a seditionist in the oval office?

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•95 days ago

14th Amendment. I guess rules only apply to some

jvsylvester.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump is a revolutionary (and not in a good way).

In 1794, the Terror collapsed, and the French Revolution was over. It happened in the month of "Thermidor." Hence the saying, "Every Revolution has its Thermidor."

Trump's may come quickly. He's playing stupid, not smart. There are always limits.

cassiekey.bsky.social•95 days ago

Very interesting and troubling. The reactionary dems will not know when it hit the American people

annrn-ca.bsky.social•95 days ago

Came here to say exactly this. This administration has will not be following the laws, regulations, norms or even the constitution. They will impose their will. Period.

octaviaisland.bsky.social•95 days ago

This is where I’m at.

renee0064.bsky.social•95 days ago

I hope there’s going to be another election in two years, but I honestly don’t think so

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•95 days ago

Even if there is, so many people have highlighted what seem like largely isdue with Democrats' votes - bomb threats, ballot box burning, mail-in votes never received and also all of the outcome anomolies.There may be a "vote" but with Ivanka getting .

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•95 days ago

the parents on voting machines and Lara calling for the centralization if elections, it will never matter. Dems will keep thinking the "messaging" is wrong...

renee0064.bsky.social•95 days ago

I know like he is and has been telling us he doesn’t care what the constitution says or what the process is -he’s going to do what he wants to do.

moviefanforever.bsky.social•95 days ago

Exactly. That’s why the media should have been screaming about the threat 🍊 is. They completely ignored the threat and normalized him

renee0064.bsky.social•95 days ago

I almost think the media wanted him to become president. They wanted the chaos because they got more viewers. They got more likes. They got more attention that way, despicable and sick.

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•95 days ago

I was at a talk with a major BBC broadcaster in August and when I asked him about this - he said with glee - we brought you Boris Johnson, DJT and Brexit. And when I asked why, he essentially said because it drove profts

renee0064.bsky.social•95 days ago

Exactly

nunyabizkness.bsky.social•95 days ago

When did Ivana and Melania get citizenship?

kivlehan.bsky.social•95 days ago

Birthright citizenship- that’s how we do things in the Western Hemisphere.*

*Except Colombia, Costa Rica and Haiti

moviefanforever.bsky.social•95 days ago

Will it when he has a congress and a Supreme Court that also doesn’t follow the constitution. If our government doesn’t follow the constitution then it’s just a piece of paper

oldskier.bsky.social•95 days ago

This effort may appeal to only the most resentful...

sharonw51.bsky.social•95 days ago

We told them. They wouldn't listen.

zacster911.bsky.social•95 days ago

Kind of leaves his wife out of the picture.

iam-s-hon.bsky.social•95 days ago

She already is, kinda.

And if she’s “illegal” then his youngest son is, too.

iam-s-hon.bsky.social•95 days ago

Maybe not, since he’s a citizen, but the timing of it suddenly being a bad thing is a bit telling.

zacster911.bsky.social•95 days ago

And probably Elon's next born.

iam-s-hon.bsky.social•95 days ago

Or Leon, himself.

cowgirl52.bsky.social•95 days ago

God, Guns and Trump.
That was their motto in 2020!

stearnwoman.bsky.social•95 days ago

Is it possible to be dumb and an evil genius at the same time? I think we have the answer here.

chiefphotoduck.bsky.social•95 days ago

That’s a harsh way to get rid of his children. I believe only one of six were born to a natural born American.

paws4justice.bsky.social•95 days ago

Deporting his own son?

jim85716.bsky.social•95 days ago

This SCOTUS has overturned so many precedents and expanded executive power so much that I suspect Trump will get his way on this matter. And if SCOTUS rules against him and he orders deportation anyway? So what? He’s immune for “official conduct.”

sallyfisherprice.bsky.social•95 days ago

There are 1000+ analyses out there on why jus soli is good for society. Just look at any of the places with large populations of non-citizens born there. Talk about disenfranchised.

ericbikes.bsky.social•95 days ago

IF HE DOES THIS BARRON TRUMP IS ILLEGAL.

Melania naturalized AFTER his birth.

Tada.

orlandoswans.bsky.social•95 days ago

Your here!

lakeontariosth.bsky.social•94 days ago

That would be interesting because Orange turd hypocrite.

kittyonunicorn.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump is evil.

jackietastic.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump just loves these ancient rulings and laws. Making America Great Again takes on a whole new meaning if you just look at what he's looking at.

I hope you're right and it'll fail. The appointments so far have me nervous and wishing midterms would get here faster.

ksmlh2005.bsky.social•95 days ago

I think I read his wife wasn't a citizen yet when Barron was born🤪🤔

uptownpierre76.bsky.social•95 days ago

lizg60.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm not so sure. Even if the courts stop it, in the interim we will have created thousands of undocumented kids. Finding and documenting them properly will be much harder than reuniting the families Trmp separated during his first term.

jwgeiger.bsky.social•95 days ago

Will it? It didn't fail when he separated children from their parents over a minor offense, admitting it was meant to deter others. The low number reflects that 500 children are still missing. This was a crime against humanity.

shulamitlahat.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump and team will continue to test the system, the laws, the Constitution - but there is only so far they can get with those tactics - until they meet with the granite of the resolve of judges who are still intent on upholding the law and are loyal to their oaths and to the Constitution.

sjhnstl.bsky.social•95 days ago

Don’t bet on it.

beatlebomb.bsky.social•95 days ago

I agree. His war on the hard working class of immigrants is going to be ugly and will go south pretty fast. Sorry, but "south" in this context means the wrong way to go.
