KY is a special case, they are a deep red state that elected a Democratic governor. So, the Legislature took away the Governor’s ability to appoint Senators (over his veto) and now in the event of a vacancy, it can only be filled with a Special Election.
The real truth is that nobody who can do anything about it cares…
That oath doesn’t mean anything unless the other country recognizes it means something.
Here’s a link to a legal firm that claims that Canada just ignores that oath, and a Canadian who becomes an American citizen doesn’t lose their Canadian citizenship. On the other hand, the Germans apparently care, and revoke your German citizenship once you get naturalized in the US, all because of the oat h
“Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows that it does not degrade the concept of United States citizenship in this way,” Alito wrote. “Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe allegiance solely to this country.”
Hmm, let’s look a the actual text of the 14th 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.
The word “solely” doesn’t appear there once. There is absolutely nothing there that states that being a citizen of another country disqualifies you, or your kids. (If it did, it would be impossible to be naturalized as a US citizen without first renouncing your original citizenship). It’s obvious that this clause was meant to apply to diplomats and other people who get some forms of immunity from local prosecution.
What an asshat…
Well, yeah. Roger Ailes was Nixon’s main media advisor, and the lesson he learned from Watergate was that Nixon would have gotten away with it if the media were more sympathetic.
Years later, he was hired by Rupert Murdoch to run Fox News.
I bet she is handling something
No, RFK Jr just put it in his freezer for later.
Rape algae pond? Straight to the Cabinet.
Are we tired of all the winning yet?
And Clinton should know, she is an expert on campaigns that are terrible mistakes…
Sigh. Donald Trump did not become President (Twice!) by listening to experts…
I wouldn’t go that far. All the websites, apps, and electronic services we use every day are hosted in some datacenter somewhere. I’d say we get value out of that.
They didn’t become a political football until the AI companies drastically increased how much power and cooling each rack used. I don’t think we’re getting enough extra value out of stuffing AI in everything to justify the added environmental cost over more standard, non-AI web services.
Why does the DoD get to decide who are the Christians and who aren’t in the first place?
Trump floats
I was gonna post that that was doubtful, but then I Did My Own Research and discovered that morbidly obese people have an easier time floating
The thing with laws is that Congress can always change them by passing another law…
… but from what I’ve read, the current text of Joe Wilson’s bill carves out an exception for “living and former Presidents”. So, if this passes, we may get our Obama $420 bill someday…

The reported push by Trump administration officials comes despite the 1866 Thayer Amendment, which makes it illegal to put the likeness of a living person on official U.S. currency, bonds or other financial notes. Additionally, current law limits U.S. currency to specific denominations and a $250 bill is not on that list.

The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.
THE DAILY SLOP (AS I LIKE TO CALL IT) IS TOTALLY WRONG ON THIS, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. ALL THESE PEOPLE FROM SHITHOLE CUNTRIES WANT TO COME HERE, SO MANY THAT WE CANT KEEP THEM ALL OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER…
Maybe we could try not being an empire…
