mangosloth , in Tennessee cancels driver’s license of 77-year-old Navy veteran saying he isn’t a US citizen

I'm a run of the mill American citizen, 4 generations back my family has been American. No birth weirdness or dual citizenship or anything. Decided to live overseas after uni to broaden my horizons, and last time I came back home for the holidays I was grilled on my americanness by customs... They almost didn't let me in because they thought I was suspicious, and my passport didn't seem right. They even said "how can you be American if you're a resident of (country)?" I think I got the same line as this article too, the whole no way to prove I'm American (despite my passport being in their hands). Theres a gatekeeping mentality that I suspect is rampant in all levels of government, and I just wonder how many good people who deserve to be here are barred from a normal life in the US because of it

this is a gimme. You show you're willing to pass laws to reign them in.

NoSuchAgency , in House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision

For years the Supreme Court had a liberal majority and now that they don't, they claim every decision they make is the end of the world and they want to lock everyone up and stack the courts. This is just more of the same

Good.

someguy3 , in House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision

Yup this is the way to do it too. It needs to be part of the Constitution to override this "interpretation".

NoSuchAgency , in Karine Jean-Pierre Throws Down With Fox Reporter Not Buying Biden’s Debate Excuses: ‘Have You Had a Cold Before?’

Kjp is probably the worst press secretary I've ever seen. She's just terrible at her job

~$25 per vehicle? Wow the cost of emitting pollution is cheap these days

Almost enough for half a tank of gas here!

I've had a cold and it didn't do that to me for sure. Is anybody buying their excuses

It's sad watching them try to spin it

This is so counter-productive because these border immigrant shelters fill an important niche working with government services. There is no government agency with the resources on the border to house all of the people who enter the country to legally seek asylum.

They have to stay somewhere while they are being processed before traveling on to the interior. They also need logistical support in making their way through both the legal system and the US transit system to get to their destination. Border shelters do all that, allowing the government to do its job.

NoSuchAgency , in Friends Are Fundraising for a Stormy Daniels Safe House

Sounds like another scam to get more money to me. Why don't she just have whoever made threats on Facebook arrested? It's not like they can't figure out who they are if it's even true

It's not easy to have the whole internet locked up, and I'm sure Trumps trial only increased his cults attacks against her. Also nice victim shaming.

InternetUser2012 , in MAGA pastor says Ten Commandments in schools will stop teachers from "raping" kids

This is a giant red flag waving at the speed of sound. This is projection. I would bet my salary this guy has raped children.

xantoxis , in House Democrat is proposing a constitutional amendment to reverse Supreme Court's immunity decision

A constitutional amendment implies that the constitution doesn't already cover this when, in its plain language, it definitely does. This provides an implicit concession that the court was right.

Don't give them that. Pack the court and issue the opposite decision at the earliest opportunity.

GM is one of the worst companies in the world. I would expect nothing less from them.

VubDapple , in GM will pay $146 million in penalties because 5.9 million older vehicles emit excess carbon dioxide

That's like petty cash for them. Not an effective deterrent, which is the point I expect
