Isn’t he “technically” an immigrant child? His grandfather was German, right? Soo by Trump logic he himself doesn’t have rights.
Rules don’t apply to him. Checkmate.
Yup. As is always the conservative way, “rules flr thee, not for me”
Can you even imagine how horrible the world would be if human immortality were ever achieved?
We would have vampiric elites sucking the life force out of children… Oh wait.
Are we talking, like, we stop aging all together, or are we talking like “come back from death” immortality?
Because the former is a problem that can be dealt with, the latter is a horror movie.
I mean permaputin, permatrump, permahegseth, permamiller, permahawley, permamusk, permazuck, permabezos, permatiel, permacruz…
In the case of despots like Trump, the former is a dystopian thriller too…
I don’t disagree, but he needs to be lucky every time, we need to be lucky once in that scenario.

Conservatives have always opposed human rights. Always.
Trump and conservatives believe anyone they don’t like for any reason doesn’t have any rights.
According to Trump, nobody has rights but Trump, who has the Divine Right of Kings.

There are no constitutional rights, we made the whole thing up
I suggest we talk about the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES™
If he makes that argument then we should also argue that he shouldn’t have them either.
Everyone has constitutional rights, even pedophiles like Trump
Not in all states. He is, after all, a convicted felon. He’d lose SOME rights everywhere in the US, voting rights everywhere except DC, Vermont, and Maine. If he was literally anyone else, that is.
The fact that he’s functionally above the law even after being found guilty doesn’t mean that others like him are…yet.

Since when has Trump cared about the constitution?
This is not a new idea in Conservative circles. I remember having debates wih people 30 years ago, who voted for goobers like Bob Dole, George Pataki and Al D’Amato, who insisted that the rights in the Bill of Rights only applied to citizens, and foreigners in our country had no rights whatsoever.
And since Trump has decided that Omar’s citizenship application is fraudulent, in his mind she never was a citizen, so is subject to the same treatment.
You see? It makes total sense, if you’re a xenophobic moron!
Or Bush senior saying that he doesn’t know if atheists should be considered citizens.
Christianity needs to be treated like a mental health pandemic
Religion are the worse and need to be regulated to prevent harm.
Its already regulated. Problem is just that no one cares to enforce it.
You spelled eliminated wrong
"The right of the people to be… "
“No person shall be held to answer…”
“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall…”
And so on.
I don’t see a single mention of citizen in there, only the people, person, the accused which are words that can refer to anyone citizen or not.
It’s really simple, those who aren’t US citizens, aren’t people - according to MAGA.
citizenswhite, straight, Christian menFTFY
Well, if you don’t consider immigrants to be people…
The idea of non-citizens having different rights (not none, but a very different set) is pretty well-established. But the courts have also long upheld that it’s all or nothing. Once you become a citizen, you have all of those rights. If you renounce, you lose them all. There is very little wiggle room on the subject.
Trump decided she wasn’t a citizen long before there was any question of fraud. That happened the moment she refused to kneel to him. The rest is just about how he can reach his goal of destroying anyone that would challenge him.
Just fucking die already you fat, racist dotard.
Sadly, these ideas neither started with him, nor will they die with him.
Unfortunately. The Heritage Foundation goes back to at least the early 1800s, but thats where things get murky. A direct line of people can connect Trump to Anthony Comstock.
Trump -> Roy Cohn -> Joseph McCarthy -> J. Edgar Hoover -> Anthony Comstock (although I can’t seem to figure out if Hoover and Comstock ever actually met).
Thanks for the new word. Perfect.
Don’t wait, there’s more! Dotage is a related term for the time period of being a dotard. I worked in elder care, and we’d often use “They’re entering their dotage” as a polite way to say “they’re going senile”.
Could one become a dotary?
You can be in dotary and go senile, or you could be a Dotary and be a braille ebook.
Ilhan Omar has constitutional rights.
It really baffles fascists to learn that the constitution has never just protected citizens.
Well, to be fair, he doesn’t think any other American citizen has constitutional rights either.
I suggest Trump is a traitor and seditionist and should receive a just punishment as laid out in the Constitution.
I suggest he get stoned to death for adultery, as per his precious book he and his ilk have never read.
Now you’re talking
