[SIZE=7]Trump ending 14th Ammendment birthright[/SIZE]
You ARE NOT a citizen of the corporation of the United states.
Trump says the 14th Ammendment means nothing to him and
if he says he has the final word on if you’re a citizen or not.
Trump will say anything to light a fire under ignorant Reps’ assess. He’s the Boy Who Cried Wolf!
[SIZE=7]Paul Ryan Rejects Trump’s Claim He Can End Birthright Citizenship[/SIZE]
“Well, you obviously cannot do that,” the House speaker said.
By Lydia O’Connor and Matt Fuller
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) made the smallest break from President Donald Trump on Tuesday, rejecting Trump’s recent claim that the president has the power to do away with birthright citizenship.
“Well, you obviously cannot do that,” Ryan said on Kentucky’s WVLK radio station after Trump said he was thinking about signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship.
“You know, as a conservative, I’m a believer in following the plain text of the Constitution, and I think in this case the 14th Amendment is pretty clear, and that would involve a very, very lengthy constitutional process,” Ryan said.
Under the 14th Amendment, citizenship is granted to all people born in the U.S., even if their parents aren’t citizens.
Although he signaled his opposition to an executive order to end birthright citizenship, Ryan ― who will be in office only until the end of the year before retiring from Congress ― did not offer any possible repercussions for Trump if he proceeded with such an order. There is also legislation in Congress sponsored by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) that would end birthright citizenship.
King has argued for years that it would not take a constitutional amendment to change birthright citizenship because of a clause in the 14th Amendment saying citizens are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States — that is, not under the authority of a foreign power. Legal experts have argued the matter for years.
But hardly anyone ― except for the president, it seems ― believes birthright citizenship may be ended by executive order.
“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said in an “Axios on HBO” interview taped on Monday. “You can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.”
Trump falsely claimed that the U.S. is “the only country in the world” with such a path to citizenship. More than 30 nations, including Canada and Mexico, have similar policies in place.
Trump’s statements come a week before the midterm elections and appear aimed at once again riling up the Republican base. It’s unclear how serious he is, but if he issues such an executive order, it almost certainly would end up in the courts, where it would face extremely long odds of surviving.
There’s also the matter of subsequent presidents, any of whom may reverse their predecessors’ orders, just as Trump did with a number of President Barack Obama’s more contentious orders, like the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals immigration program.
Ryan filed suit against Obama on behalf of the House of Representatives over DACA in early 2016. Ryan later said during a sit-down interview with HuffPost that he would “sue any president that exceeds his or her power.”
He did not bring up the prospect of suing Trump on Tuesday, but that would be the logical response if the president issues an order ending birthright citizenship. Though such speculation is pointless for a number of reasons. For one, Trump often raises the possibility of doing something, only to lose interest. And if he issues such an order, Ryan likely won’t be there when it drops.
Ryan, who has sometimes clashed with Trump but largely gotten behind the president, announced in April that he would not seek re-election. Republican Bryan Steil and Democrat Randy Bryce are facing off in the race to fill his seat, and House members will elect a new speaker in January.
The sad thing is that Rethuglicans and their surrogates on Ktalk have come to accept Drumof’s ignorance-driven lies as biblical truth.
America First! MAGA!
I’m tired of paying taxes for the freeloaders.
Hate mongering is not right. Thank God for constitutions.
Your position is known, no need to over-clarify. [ATTACH=full]204983[/ATTACH]
You know what is obvious? You don’t believe a darn word of what you say. You tripped up at the very beginning and rather than eat crow, you yelp fogothary to soothe your ego. I feel sorry for ya.
It takes a lot of courage to be identified with Trump nowadays. If the MAGA hat makes Kanye “feel like Superman” maybe that’s a good thing. :D:D:D:D
You missed the part where Kanye’s delusions of super hero abilities started to crumble?
Kanye is fine. The nasty Dems bullied him on TV until he suffered a mental breakdown. 
Anyway tupatane kwa debe…November 6th!
Next Tuesday vile Baba alisema Ile election ati “6 piece” naenda kupigia kura Blue from Governor mpaka chini. We are getting you Rethuglicans out of power.
We shall see about that…Hata mimi nita vote 6 piece.
Also remember that when Trump is referring to people he doesn’t want, non Caucasian, he is also referring to you. I used to tell my Hispabic coworker, a diehard Republican that Republicans don’t want anything to do with him and his kind. He realized this later when he started volunteering.
Those Hispanics and Asians, especially first generation Americans think they are Caucasian. Little do they know they’re not wanted in that Republican Party.
Simiyu, race is a complex social construct. It’s not simply about your skin color. You can be black on the outside but inside you feel more and more alienated from the black mentality and culture. People should vote on issues not cheap identity politics.
Problem is you are being judged by the color of your skin, at the job , in church , to the store , on the road , etc
A few weeks ago I was in Central Florida for work purposes. It rained daily and therefore I was indoors the whole time. Turned on the TV and there was political campaign commercials the whole time. They blamed immigrants for everything. Healthcare, murders, traffic accidents, etc. It was very hurtful even if they were referring to Hispanics. There’s no way you would remain a Republican if you visited this area.
Sure, but MLK envisioned a day when people would not be judged by the color of their skin. There are pockets of racism in America but all in all, it’s not that bad. The truth is that illegal immigration has wrecked California and Florida…
I live with whites who I know are Trump damu, but the level of kindness I have experienced makes me quiver with emotion. I can’t relate with the pervasive idea that everyone who supports Trump is a racist.
Respect is a two way street, if you act right utakuwa sawa. If you approach their institutions wearing a racism chip on your shoulder, well you know how that goes…
Haya! Kinaanza kueleweka. Complex social construct kweli.
Black teen identifies with KKK, says ‘white is right’
No wonder Kanye ranted for 10 good minutes in the White House and nobody, including his host, understood what he was saying. It’s not easy being black and convinced that you’re white inside. It’s even harder describing it.
[SIZE=7]If gender is fluid, what about race and age?[/SIZE]
I was crunching my abs at the gym a few weeks ago when my pale male friend asked: “What if I told you I believe I am African-American?”
I grunted.
“That I am a lesbian?”
“Or I truly think I am 70 years old?”
I seized on my opening: “We all feel like that, especially here.”
His queries seem far less funny – and far more interesting – after the Obama administration’s sweeping action regarding HB2 and transgender rights.
A dispute about bathroom rights turned into a Pandora’s box of philosophical riddles about the nature of identity and the meaning of truth on May 13 when the Departments of Justice and Education issued a letter prohibiting “discrimination based on a student’s gender identity.”
The letter defines gender identity as “an individual’s internal sense of gender.” It also states “there is no medical diagnosis or treatment requirement that students must meet as a prerequisite to being treated consistent with their gender identity.”
Let’s unpack this. Medically, transgender feelings are defined as a condition, gender dysphoria, with a range of recommended treatments. These can include psychological counseling, hormone therapies or even surgery. Doctors are not sure whether transgender feelings are consistent with mental health.
There is no dispute that childhood is a confusing time. Studies show that most children with gender dysphoria grow out of it during puberty. By age 16, research suggests, those who still feel they are trapped in the wrong body may continue to do so.
Lo, the administration’s lawyers have resolved these medical debates, declaring that gender dysphoria is normal and that there is no need to refer children expressing such feelings to a doctor.
While dispensing medical advice, the letter also changes the English language, conflating sex and gender. Sex is a biological fact. Almost everyone is born with distinct physical markers that define us as male or female.
Gender is a social construct that refers to the fluid range of expected behaviors taught to boys and girls. The most obvious examples are “appropriate” clothing and make-up. At a time when many boys mousse their hair and wear not one but two earrings and when more men are staying home to care for their children, it is clear that gender markers and roles are in flux.
As a sign of its politically correct confusion – and its legal gymnastics – the administration’s letter describes the biological fact of sex as a societal choice: a “person’s sex,” it claims, isn’t observed but “assigned at birth.” It engages in this sleight-of-hand because the 1972 law whose authority it is using, Title IX, mentions only sex, not gender, and so it must equate the two.
Though the administration might have the best of intentions, its fusion of sex and gender raises complex questions. Race, for example, is even more of a social construct than gender. Men and women will always be biologically distinct, but race is almost entirely an invention. It wasn’t too long ago that Italians, Jews and Aryans were considered separate races.
If we, as a society, are going to define sex as a personal choice, how can we deny the claims of those who do not accept the race they were assigned at birth? Recall Rachel Dolezal, the “white” woman who lived as an African-American woman in Spokane, Wash., where she was president of the local chapter of the NAACP. When her “deception” was revealed, she was pilloried as a poseur and forced to resign her post in disgrace.
Was she mistreated?
Similarly, if one’s sex is a choice, why not one’s age? As 60 becomes the new 40, we increasingly see age as an attitude rather than a number. If I believe I am 65, what basis do you have for disagreeing with me?
That question wouldn’t matter much but for its legal implications. The administration’s letter threatens the loss of billions of dollars in federal funds if schools do not define sex as one’s “internal sense of identity.”
It might sound absurd, but, given that logic, why can’t a white person claim the benefits of affirmative action or a middle-aged man demand Medicare and Social Security?
All this is happening at a time when many complain that our culture is becoming increasingly solipsistic and when President Barack Obama is just one of the voices complaining about those who make up their own facts and their own truths.
Fair enough. But what standard are we going to use to define facts and truths? If something as clear as one’s sex is up for grabs, what isn’t?
