Civil rights organizations are probably already prepping the lawsuit that they will file in the event that Donald Trump issues an executive order restricting birthright citizenship. Their argument will be straightforward. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in the wake of the Civil War, guarantees U.S. citizenship to all those “born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” In 1898, in United States v.

    The Daily Dot, Wednesday - 01/15/2025 - 12:15 PM

    Donald Trump's former disgraced national security advisor, Michael Flynn, claimed that members of his first administration and past administrations committed treason against Demented Donald and he needs to commit an act immediately, dubbed the Knight of the Long Knives, against his political enemies. Flynn, who demanded Trump commit treason by enacting martial law after he lost the 2020 election, wants Trump to order massive assassinations against anyone he feels wronged him.

Fox News is furious that California is trying to protect itself from the incoming Traitor Trump administration, and for good reason.

    During Sen. Mazie Hirono's cross-examination of nincompoop SecDef nominee Pete Hegseth, he confirmed that if ordered by Trump to shoot protesters, he would comply. This is the type of subservient sycophantic behavior Trump requires from his cabinet nominees. Anything less, and he'd likely face criminal and impeachment charges. HIRONO: In June of 2020, then President Trump directed former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to shoot protesters in the legs in downtown D.

  • Pam Bondi Shows Off Her One Qualification At Hearing
    The Daily Dot, Wednesday - 01/15/2025 - 11:23 AM

    Pam Bondi is the runner up to be Trump's Attorney General because Matt Gaetz didn't turn out so well. And Pam has proven her loyalty to Trump and that's the only qualification she needs, either for Mango Mussolini or the Republican Senate. Sad. Ok a #PamBondi #confirmationhearing thread. So to start, she refused to agree that Joe Biden duly won the 2020 election, claiming that she saw "so much" when she went to Pennsylvania (alleging fraud) but did not elaborate.

  • Idiot GOP Senator Rails Against DEI But Can't Spell 'Military'
    The Daily Dot, Wednesday - 01/15/2025 - 10:51 AM

    Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmitt railed about DEI supposedly destroying the competence in our military in front of a sign with the word military spelled wrong at this Tuesday's hearing for Trump's unqualified nominee for Def Sec, Pete Hegseth. Maybe Schmitt should worry about the competence of his own staff before making a fool of himself like this: One issue front and center at his confirmation hearing has been the aforementioned DEI, which Hegseth has promised to expunge at the Department of Defense.
