Devon, England.
Alito will no doubt cite the writings of some “12th century” English cleric/jurist as “slam dunk” support.

You’re right. They will likely “clarify” it. They will weasel that “jurisdiction thereof,” understood for 150 years to apply to US kids born to foreign ambassadors, etc., applies ALSO to those born to foreign moms who are not legal residents. So Trump’s kids born to green card holders will be okay.

The US has NEVER invaded a country in South America. She’s no idiot: Surely she knows there are not nearly enough troops nearby to secure the country; soldiers would need to be brought there from all over. Venezuela is HUGE; it is NOT Grenada or even Panama. Lots of our soldiers will die… for Trump.

The Holocaust denialism among that many MAGAs is particularly telling, given all that Trumputin and his flunkies go on about regarding supposed antisemitism among huge numbers of Democrats.

Straight from the Trump playbook - misdirection and attacking others to try to deflect from his own “questionable” actions.

The problem with that is neither Manning (who is dead nearly 20 years), nor the BBC or ITV, are a party leader seeking to become PM. This man is.

No shock these reactionary dimwits fantasize about station wagons. My parents had one - no wood paneling - in the 1970s and I remember sitting in the wagon rear (before seat belt laws) while Dad waited in an OPEC embargo gas line. Getting Americans back into gas guzzlers: the oil companies’ dream.

Their morale is low working for this nodding ass of a “Secretary”? Surely not?:

A list of the worst Secretaries of State from 1790 to 1981. Some have been pretty bad since 1981, but prior to Rubio none of those have really been in contention to supplant those on this list, let alone the “top” one: www.americanheritage.com/and-five-worst
…and The Five Worst
The historians who responded to the poll were less united in their choices of the five worst secretaries, and their nominees seem to have little in (Issue: December 1981)..

And Berlin’s streets in 1937 were extremely safe.

Robert E. Lee, sure. Jefferson Davis, absolutely.

But only an utter moron has a US Grant pic and proudly declares he voted for neo-Confederate Trump.

So much for J.D.’s “Putin’s Russia is the last white Christian conservative empire…” fantasy:
A South African radio presenter is arrested on suspicion of recruiting fighters for Russia
A South African radio presenter has appeared in court accused of recruiting men to fight for Russia in the war in Ukraine
