Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

wtf!!!


The incoming vice-president of the United States, JD Vance, has come to the defence of a Conservative MP who says Canadian Christians are being persecuted and need protection from Ottawa.e content

Durham MP (and former National Post columnist) Jamil Jivani, is promoting a petition that he intends to present in Ottawa in February 2025. In a video posted to the X social media platform, Jivani says he is “sounding the alarm. We must protect Christians in Canada from governments and corporations abusing their power in our country, and from anti-Christian bigotry.”

What is he about???

“Canada has seen a number of church burnings in recent years thanks to anti-Christian bigotry. All over the world, Christians are the most persecuted religious group. Jamil is speaking the truth. Shame on journalists who refuse to see what’s obvious.”


Oh - was not aware of that one.
 
The orange bastard is coming after TMT. So they are hardly the clickbait some are alleging, and they are getting more viewers than Fox. Anyway, a discussion between Ben and Harry, both lawyers, about the crook's latest filing in NY, naming them, to try and get his felonies quashed. I believe Harry has resigned from the LA Times due to their support of the monster.

Again, if you don't like TMT, just don't watch. It's 10 mins long, with no ads, so don't moan to me that it's spam.

Can you post a transcript of the video?
 
tl;dw
It started with, for me, an advert for an oven cleaning product and then in no way accuses Trump of threatening them.

You're right, I definitely can't see how anyone could possibly think this looked like clickbait:

Fwiw, there are plenty of sites producing low-quality written output with deliberately manipulative headlines as well, I reckon that posting articles from those sources would probably get you a fairly similar reaction on here.
IMAGINE if someone posted like THE TITLES OF THESE VIDEOS. LOL... YOU THINK IT WOULD GO WELL?!

Print articles also take way less time to get through than these awful vids
 
I've had a look, but can't see one. I'm not very techy though, so may be missing something. They do have a website with news articles on there, so it may be that this story will pop up soon.


Sorry, found this.

OK, so the actual factual content here is that Trump filed a motion to have his conviction overturned, and mentioned this lot's coverage of that as a passing aspect of the motion? I'm not sure I understand why I should care about this story. Fwiw, as much as I hate to give the dickhead any credit, I do reckon he may well have a point in describing this as being false and defamatory, and it may well be the sort of stuff that's not wise to put out when there's an upcoming trial that could be prejudiced:

In so far as I have any opinions about all this, which is not very much really, I think I'm a bit annoyed at these people claiming that Trump is ATTACKING them when I think there's other people who are going to be attacked much more directly and suffer much worse under his presidency.

Agreed, much easier to skimread, see if there's any factual content to take note of and/or links to more reliable sources.
 
I generally don't think it's wise to make firm predictions, because the world is a complicated and unpredictable place, but I do feel fairly confident in saying that I don't think Trump is going to hang billionaires by the neck until they sign their wealth over to him. If he does do that, feel free to quote this post and laugh at me.
 
Anybody who thinks Joe Biden won the 2020 election or thinks the Capitol riot was anything other than a peaceful love-fest isn't getting a job in the Trump administration

The applicants report that they have been asked about how to overhaul the Pentagon, or what technologies could make the intelligence agencies more effective, or how they feel about the use of the military to enforce immigration policy. But before they leave, some of them have been asked a final set of questions that seemed designed to assess their loyalty to President-elect Donald J. Trump.

The questions went further than just affirming allegiance to the incoming administration. The interviewers asked which candidate the applicants had supported in the three most recent elections, what they thought about the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen. The sense they got was that there was only one right answer to each question.

This account is based on interviews with nine people who either interviewed for jobs in the administration or were directly involved in the process. Among those were applicants who said they gave what they intuited to be the wrong answer — either decrying the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 or saying that President Biden won in 2020. Their answers were met with silence and the taking of notes. They didn’t get the jobs.

Project 2025 in action.
 

Tldr?

The insurectionists will be pardoned on Day 1, although there may be exceptions.

The system is corrupt and their lives were ruined - they went through hell. The investigators of the assault on the Capitol deserve to go to jail.
 

Tldr?

Trump wants the 14th amendment (1868 enshrined in the constitution) done away with.

How?

"Executive action".

The 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” A constitutional amendment approved by Congress requires ratification by three-fourths of the states.

It sounds like Republicans are aiming to get a law through Congress removing birthright citizenship based on an interpretation of the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" line instead of trying to change the constitution, might be a little dubious but I'm sure the Supreme Court will go along with it

trump own mom was from Scotland no :hmm:

Both parents were US citizens when he was born so his citizenship is ironclad, unfortunately - Trump's father was born in the US but only just, Trump's grandmother was six months pregnant when she and her husband were kicked out of Germany

What does the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause mean?

I'm wondering what the status might be of someone who was born in the US but whose parents were there illegally.

I assumed it meat subject to US law, which would be pretty much everyone in the US. The only possible exception I can think if is someone on a diplomatic visa.

But if they want to use that as a get out clause to claim these people won't under the jurisdiction of the US, then they have to no to arrest and deport them surely? If they have ever engaged with the US legal system then either that was illegal or it shows jurisdiction?
