General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

IT'S JUST BEGINNING





Trump pardoned leaders of the white supremacist, rabidly anti-Semitic terrorist group the Proud Boys. You may know them by their motto “6MWE” — which stands for “6 Million Wasn't Enough.” Yes, they’re referring to the Holocaust.

 

















A Trumpublican US Representative wants to deport an American born bishop because she referenced a Biblical passage about mercy and grace and protecting the helpless.

This is where we are, my friends, because of Trump and his lack of human decency.

The Spanish White House page says "Go to home page".

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't have time to check the meme.

Also removed the LGBTQIA+ page, the office against gun violence, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights page has been moved to the Archives. President Felon also put out a Presidential action to reinstitute the death penalty.

I looked twice for LGBTQA in all it's various forms. No such term found anywhere on the page. I feel so "represented"/snark.

A cancer is sitting at the pinnacle of power and it is insuring that it metastasizes throughout the federal government and individual states wherever the MAGA cons are in majority.

Our national nightmare is just beginning.

Lots of stuff coming out of the White House and from Trump, now that they know he doesn't need to worry about reelection.

Here's one from the "It's Just Beginning" file... Trump has asked, in one EO, for an interpretation of the 14th Amendment, for the purposes of denying citizenship to not just children of immigrants here illegally, but children of immigrants in the country legally.

Here's the first sentence of the amendment...

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.

All personsborn here are citizens.

Now, if the MAGA types think it says something different, or should be reinterpreted, let's do this...

You reinterpret the 14th Amendment and us progressive, liberal folks will reinterpret the 2nd Amendment.

My gosh, does anyone see where this goes? Are throwing out all precedent? Are we wanting to live in a "if's good for thee, it's good for me" world.

California Congresswoman Judy Chu, 28th district:

“The President’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship is yet another attempt to place himself and his Administration above the law. But no executive order can supersede the United States Constitution, and birthright citizenship is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of our Constitution with no room for interpretation. This is a foundational principle of our country, that anyone can be an American – regardless of their national origin or the national origin of their parents. President Trump’s executive order does not change the Constitution, and so he cannot revoke birthright citizenship.

“President Trump’s attacks on birthright citizenship are not new and have already been resoundingly rejected. All the way back in 1895, Wong Kim Ark, a U.S.-born 24-year-old living in San Francisco, California, visited his family in China but was denied reentry to the U.S. upon his return. Wong took his case all the way to the Supreme Court, which affirmed birthright citizenship and ruled that, regardless of the immigration status of his parents, Wong was born on U.S. soil and was therefore a U.S. citizen. This decision was made even when the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was still in place.

“That is because the Constitution is clear. Regardless of the legal status or nationality of your parents, if you are born in the United States you are a U.S. citizen. It was true for Wong Kim Ark and it is true today.”

tRUMP has declared everyone to be a female. This should solve the athletic controversies. https://www.iflscience.com/trumps-executive-order-against-trans-people-technically-makes-every-american-female-77710

from your link:

"The text of the EO declares: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.” Linking sex and conception seems to bring anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ lingo together, but also demonstrates the lack of knowledge that at fertilization, and for many weeks after, every embryo is female. It's a point that people have been quick to raise online."
