I’m the opposite. I refuse to just hand our country over to nazis.

Clay do you have a Sees candy store near? They sometimes have sugar free chocolate candies. I’ve seen peanut butter cups, but I’m in SoCal and menus may be different .

I used to live in CA and I loved Sees Candy, I live in TX now and they don’t have Sees here. Sees is one of the few things I miss about CA, another is not being surrounded by brainless MAGAts.

There are a hell of a lot fewer MAGAts in CA than in TX. As a native Californian, the last place I want to be is in TX.

What? You live in Texas and aren’t surrounded by brainless MAGAts??? Where in Texas is that?

I’m originally from Northern California and there are a helluva lot less MAGAmaniacs per square inch than down heah in South Crackerlina!

I guess I worded that poorly, what I meant is that in CA I wasn’t surrounded by them but here in TX I am surrounded by them and I don’t care for it.

I have Russell Stovers every now and then and Reesie's now has a sugar-free peanut butter cup that I haven't tried it yet.

Here in the Memphis area, Walmart carries sugar free peanut butter cups. I get them for my wife, who is supposed to limit sugar.

Was thinking the same about PB cups - tho I don’t trust what else may be in them.

Here’s an asinine observation: Kush Desai‘s parents are both immigrants.

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

You checked? Not citizens when Kush was born? (Substack finished that with a “ner” which means too many use it OR they’ve programmed it in.) Isn’t Usha too?

Do you think those born in DC, Guam, USVI, Puerto Rico - none states - are still Constitutionally protected?

Eva Seifert's avatar

From what I could find, Usha's parents still aren't citizens.

If JD is nominee I wonder how that will go over with voters. Thanks for checking.

It seems no one in the Senior Grifter realm who speaks knows what the Constitution is and does. Did they not work out the spawn of Founders too were not citizens at birth before the Constitution? All those pale English, Welsh, Scottish, & other settlers?

History help please: were the colonists and all made citizens with a few pen stroke? Even born on the land they plundered without a country established they were citizens of nowhere or still of their home countries? They renounced their citizenship in their former homelands didn’t they?

Hmmm … 🤔 Did they declare their citizenship when they revoked their allegiance to Britain?

The irony about his citizenship was the only good thing out of what he did, well, that and Belgium winning of course. I don't know anyone who was cheering for the U.S. at that point.

As for subscriptions lapsing, I've been there. Sometimes it falls due when funds are limited, and we wait for a better month to renew, as we did last time.

I was cheering for the US. Just because big orange douche-bags gotta be douche-bags, doesn't mean rescinding Balogun's red card wasn't the right thing to do.

Paul Davis's avatar

Per the rules invoked, it was against the rules to give him a red card.

OTOH, the FIFA is both weird and corrupt, ANYTHING can come out of that mess.

OMG...I cannot live here anymore!

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

Perhaps fortunate.

Marc Donner's avatar

Ooh! Peanut butter cups.

Perfect

I have a physical (anaphylactic) reaction to peanuts, but a similar moral reaction to xenophobic white nationalists, and those who manipulate them for power and profit.

There is still extant an exception to the citizenship granted to those born on US soil, and that's the children of diplomats. They are not "subject to the jurisdiction" as they have diplomatic immunity.

When the amendment was written, it also applied to the Indian Nations. That didn't change until 1924.

FIFA did not rescind the on-field red card issued to U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, but they did suspend his mandatory one-game suspension.

"Babies born to non-citizen parents can grow up to become terrorists…or soccer players" .... yup. Just like babies born to citizens of the USA. Timothy McVeigh and his co-conspirators are a reminder of what home-grown hate can produce.

See’s candy was my mom’s favorite … made it easy to select a Mother’s Day gift …. A box of chocolates.

As far as the Magawhakos inconsistency …. They’re consistently inconsistent… just listen to Donnie J effuse out of both sides of his cloaca!
