Trump: "Under Boot Edge Edge - another grossly incompetent. Get on his bicycle, ride to work. What they do is they take the fiber optics & they take fiber, try to hook it into copper. And fiber and copper don't mix. You can't do it...you saw that by the helicopter crash. You saw that into the plane"

jesus christ; he didn't have "reasonable concerns." He was literally impeached for trying to get Ukraine to smear Biden! what the fucking fuck?!
Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time
How Donald Trump is turning into Joe Biden
It’s about more than denying inflation

If he is concerned about dual loyalty, why not extend the constitution's prohibition on immigrants serving as Presidents to all federal elected offices? Or, at least jut ban guys born in Colombia from serving in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

If immigration judges are neutral and independent as due process requires, then they must be independent from the Executive Branch.
We must move immigration judges from Article II to Article I to provide a check on a lawless administration like this one.
