The Washington Post published a white supremacist (and Trump administration official) making a white supremacist argument. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/citizenship-shouldnt-be-a-birthright/2018/07/18/7d0e2998-8912-11e8-85ae-511bc1146b0b_story.html

goddammit wapo

imma drop my sub if yall win a reason award

to save y'all the clicks, it is saying that being born in the geographical US shouldn't give citizenship, aka the anchor baby bullshit

Wipqozn

> The purpose of that amendment was to resolve the question of citizenship for newly freed slaves. Following the Civil War, some in the South insisted that states had the right to deny citizenship to freedmen.

> The notion that simply being born within the geographical limits of the United States automatically confers U.S. citizenship is an absurdity — historically, constitutionally, philosophically and practically.

> Birthright citizenship was a mistake whose time has gone.

So basically, a law whose purpose was to help end slavery, was a "mistake" and an "absurdity"

GodEmperorDune

also i'm not sure how someone getting citizenship "debases" it for anyone else, this strikes me as the same kind of bullshit about LGBT marriages ruining straight marriage

white supremacy rots the brain

also his proposed solution is incorrect

to overturn the constitution, you need a constitutional amendment, not congress + an executive order

@GodEmperorDune I'm sure their justification for this is similar to the one used by the Nazis with regards to folks messing up with their aryan genepool

@GodEmperorDune It's by that guy who ducked the CNN interview about Trump's Helsinki conference

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn pretty much

@TimStone now it's clear what he was doing instead

Wipqozn

Honestly even if someone was able to make some case for removing birthright laws that wasn't completely rooted in racism, I feel like any alternative to it would just be way too much of a hassle.

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn that's the idea though

make it a hassle so that the only people who can be citizens are rich privileged people who have the luxury of dealing with the hassle

make poor people give up so they can't access any govt services

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune THat's honestly not even what I was thinking of

I just meant that even if you wanted to make a "good faith" replacement for it, I feel like any replacemnt would just be worse

like a child doesn't autoget it unless the parent is a citizen, okay... but what if the parent gets it after birth? Then what? Does the child automatically get it? If no then well that's A) Fucked and B) a huge hassel and more paperwork. IF the answer is "yes they do", then is their some kind of age restriction? like does the kid still need to be a minor? What if the kid no longer lives in the USA? All of that sure sounds like a huge bunch of annoying pains in the ass to deal with

Tim Stone

@Memor-X It's funny because the WH press office's transcript shows he very much was directly answering the question

@TimStone Gonna side with pwnallthethings here and say this was pretty reckless to leak, per above "Putin will probably kill them" angle

Like Trump could have told him himself but only if he had reason to be told of this person since then

So we don't know and it seems kind of crazy to risk it imo

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone i mean they may have leaked to NYT because putin already killed him

trump has something like weekly calls with putin

and we know that trump leaked that ISIS source to the russian ambassador the first time they met

hell, maybe it's those people who were poisoned in the UK

Tim Stone

Yeah, it's possible, I just don't know that this furthers the narrative by revealing

@GodEmperorDune That's less likely since they were killed for not being in Putin's inner circle

err that's awkward wording but you know what I mean >_>

Five days after Trump’s inauguration, someone attempted to withdraw $150,000 cash from the embassy’s account — but the embassy’s bank blocked it.

NEW: White House reverses course on plan for Putin to allow his government to interrogate Americans. As Senate proposes to rebuke WH, @PressSec now says: “It is a proposal that was made in sincerity by President Putin, but President Trump disagrees with it."

@TimStone i guess the broken clock is right again

They also asked Putin pretty please to turn over the 12 Russians in the indictment

Watching C-SPAN and I guess I never noticed before but it is good as hell and not at all indicative of how elitist federal politics is that the Senate has pages whose job is to stand there and open the doors for Senators

GodEmperorDune

@TimStone i believe the pages' job is also to be sexually harassed by the senators

cuz they still won't pass the updated anti-harassment procedures

Tim Stone

Yeah, sigh

> It was run by a star-chamber of two-dozen security officials and the president. According to a 2012 New York Times report, they met once a week to decide which targets around the world lived or died.

These meetings became known as “Terror Tuesdays.”

wtf

thanks obama

Tim Stone

@Yuuki Some people view him as a jihadist propagandist but he disagrees with that classification

As far as I can tell he hasn't done anything to warrant a drone strike, even if we're taking the acceptability of drone strikes as a base

@GodEmperorDune Don't worry they added computers

GodEmperorDune

yeah obama went too far when they bombed Anwar al-Awlaki

@TimStone Repeated petition to ban the term "Islamist".

> “So [your] argument is that if, A, we didn’t have anything to do with it… but if we did, we did so only because of a determination that – and I’ll talk about Mr. Kareem, because he’s the one with constitutional rights – that Mr. Kareem was a grave threat to national security and the executive gets to make that determination, not a court.”

The next words out of Collyer’s mouth will reveal the plot twist to what until now has seemed like a parody of legal colloquy. She looks down to Elliott:

“Every case agrees with you on that,” she concedes.

Mitchell asks how do you know what happened in Trump’s private 2-hr. meeting with Putin. “You were on the dark side of the moon.” He acknowledges that. Says he thinks we’ll learn more. Is there a risk Putin recorded it, Mitchell asks? “That risk is always there.”
