1. So, what about existing immigrants legally in the US?

Like Malaria Trump her son and her parents, whom she sponsored? Would she be considered an anchor baby? Are there such things as anchor grand babies?

4. Good point!

However, we know that TFG considers some immigrants more "worthy" than others.

2. Just gonna strike down a Constitutional provision

with the stroke of a sharpie. That ain’t how it works, Donnie.

sick POS

8. Who in this country did not come from immigrants?!

And that includes TFG, his kids - and ALL of his wives! Two of the three quite recently!

9. THANK YOU

my mum was from England, my paternal grandparents from Norway - I don't see how I have any more right to be in Texas than say, someone from Mexico. No indeed!

10. Exactly!

My mother used to say that her family "came over on the last boat," since both parents were immigrants from Poland. My Dad's paternal grandparents both came from Ireland and his mother's family was Dutch, came in the 1600s, but they were still immigrants! And every single American here now has a similar background, early or recent immigrants.

6. As has been said repeatedly on the news, this is unprecedented in our history

11. I had to count it after a bit, between both of these journalists;

they referred to dump as the Former President 7 times and four of those times, they mistakenly called him President first.

They talk about the "legal and operational" implications of *rump's proposed policies with no mention whatsoever as to the morality of taking such a draconian course and how it would drastically up-heave millions of Americans' lives.

To the red meat MAGA crowd, this coverage by CBS must have seemed like a puff piece for the American skid-mark on the nation's underwear.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon.

12. I've noticed that TV journalists, even on MSNBC, often make that mistake and I cringe

Of course the MAGA crowd refers to him that way since the deluded believe that he's actually president. However, we know that he hired numerous agencies to investigate the election and every single one of them concluded that he lost - badly. But it's part of his shtick for his insufferable "rallies" to keep repeating that the election was "stolen" so it's ingrained in his "followers'" deluded minds.

What I don't get and have never understood is how anyone awake or coherent could possibly stand to listen to this offensive blowhard. Since the beginning he's been insufferable and insulting and I couldn't wait for the 2016 election to be over so we'd never have to see or hear him again. But what's happening is unprecedented, after all this time, his offensive antics are still leading the news. And we've certainly seen that he believes he's "above the law" and gets away with behavior that no other private citizen could.

And his plan for the nation is to suspend democracy and to rid the nation of those citizens, rules and laws that he personally doesn't like. How long is this going to go on??
