He is NOT banning it.....he is saying that it would ONLY apply to someone born here with parents who are BOTH citizens at the time of their birth. That would disquality a couple of his own kids!!! BUT, maybe someone should ask him about all those pregnant Russian women staying at his resorts in Florida until THEIR babies are born!!!
I like him better than Trump though. He apparently is on some kind of upper drug. But Trump is on something too, I think a combination of uppers and tranquilizers at different times.
It was said the other day that Musk is "autistic" which is something that I had never heard before???? So is it being implied that he is some sort of "savant".
Burchett's a flipping head case. He believes aliens have undersea bases here on Earth...methinks he's been watching way too many sci-fi movies thinking they were documentaries.
Trump changed longstanding policies allowing immigration to enter schools, churches etc. Now ICE attempts to raid a Chicago school and the didn’t allow entry following the sanctuary cities policies

The candidate out on bail in four jurisdictions, the convicted fraud artist, the adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator, the habitual bankrupt, the stooge of Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to overturn the last election and all of his creepy retinue of crooks, ideologues and lunatics: Americans took a long look at all this and said, yes please.
There is no sense in understating the depth of the disaster. This is a crisis like no other in our lifetimes. The government of the United States has been delivered into the hands of a gangster, whose sole purpose in running, besides staying out of jail, is to seek revenge on his enemies. The damage Donald Trump and his nihilist cronies can do – to America, but also to its democratic allies, and to the peace and security of the world – is incalculable." - Robert Reich
Yes they are and public media has been on hush. Definitely spreading the news even to the world outside out country so they can let everyone know what is happening here in America with this cynical wannabe Dictator.
This is sickening. Listen to how we are talking after 5 days. Look what he has done to divide and terrify us. He's not a wannabe anymore. He is exactly what he said he would be. Dictator on Day 1. Michael Cohen has been warning this for years to believe what he said. He was Trump's henchman and paid the price. I believe he is redeemed. I am sorry he did not get a pardon. He must be terrified. Are we going to have to go back to morse code and smoke signals. Not joking.
We all know that this Birthright thing is now going to end up at the Supreme Court, which is exactly what Trump wants. But I hope to hell they do NOT rule in favor of Trump.
Then we fucking protest. Then we say, YOU ARE NOT THE SUPREME COURT if they don't obey the Constitution. We can't sit around and be fooled anymore. He's canny as hell. But he's not invulnerable.
Roe was always on shaky grounds, even RBG thought so. Birthright citizenship is unequivocally set forth in XIV amendment. While anything is possible, not all things are probable. I don’t trust this SCOTUS as far as I can throw them, but a decision that extreme would break the entire constitutional order. Protesting would be the least of it.
Except that they will. Trump played the long game by stacking the federal courts in his last term, and he’s got The Supremes in his hip pocket. Can’t you just see Hegseth and Kavanaugh high fiveing each other when they meet for a booze up?
I thought it was already dismantled when Supreme Court allowed immunity from crimes committed within his official duties. All he has to say is this in my official duties.
Ben, I’ve been speaking truth to power for years on FB and I logged on today to find all of my posts, my history and most of my STORIES, the one’s that were in any political or an expression of my opinion, have disappeared! I’m not going to delete the app I’m going to copy the bs stories and post the truth on other platforms. Screw FB.
All the years I was on fb when I reported an account for any reason they never removed. My account got hacked a few times and they always replied doesn’t go against our policies.
You can also accuse trolls of anything as no checking when you block them also can use all the @$^&*language you want. Eggs in Hilo up.to $15 coffee $22. Was$ 8 and $9 before the inauguration of FELON tRump
I sent a DM to Zuckerberg and told him exactly how I feel about their app now. I told him he sold out so he could keep his business and not have to worry about being taken to court every other day. I told him if he keeps blocking my posts I will screenshot them before I send it and post it on YouTube, Bluesky, Substack and Threads and let everyone know that Facebook wouldn’t post this! I will do that the SECOND I have a post blocked.🎟️
OLD orange FOTUS sounds like an imbecile in front of the foreign nations. How can anyone in the world take this moron seriously?!? US has to take him seriously because of the damage and chaos he is causing. This has been the longest year long week!
Would that take a larger majority? Part of me thinks this will be a blessing in disguise if we can get to midterms. If things go the way we think, midterms could be a true blood bath, and we need a Congressional supermajority to make major changes. But I worry he will get rid of elections.
the rescission of Executive Order 13986 of January 20, 2021 (Ensuring a Lawful and Accurate Enumeration and Apportionment Pursuant to the Decennial Census) goes in the direction of your concern. If not getting rid of then certainly rigging even more
The comments I'm seeing are sort of defeatist, like, The courts have it rigged and He had a long view, we're fucked. What if the Resistance in France gave up? They didn't. I don't want to give up. I want to fight. One Brave Bishop stood up. Ben isn't giving up. What he's doing is SO horrible, we MUST resist in every possible way.
I agree. Absolutely, we need to hold all leadership accountable, but now is not the time to question ourselves, we have to stand strong in alliance for what is most important. Cleaning house is an ongoing process, not something to be done in a fit during a crisis.
If only we could terminate his presidency right now. Maga, himself are only in this for themselves. there is no solution only to bend the knee and kiss the ring. Joe Biden may have appointed more judges before he left office. there is going to be some way he is going to buck the system and rely on the supreme court to get them to work in his favor. We need a lot of light at the end of this dark tunnel.
We know Trump is an unhinged dictator, but let's not take our eye off the wealth inequality in this country, the fact we are the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare, the taking away of rights, and the constant badgering and fake outrage of our public education. Also, there was some pretty disgusting Jim Crow-like voter oppression with this last election. Messaging is still a problem on our side.
Doesn’t this pave the way for his dreadful vp? Certainly if stumpy’s boss thinks he is of no more use, why, he’s old, insane, no one could expect longevity, right? And this whole three term thing? He won’t even make I through one term, let alone two. This is clearly designed to make vance putins mini me, in my opinion.
DOGE run by DOGEBAGS
It's down to only one DOGEBAG - Vivek is gone.
Well then, like we knew all along, Musk is the dogebag!
The 14th Amendment is 150 years old, the cornerstone of American identity
Does he not realize that his plan to remove birthright citizenship would impact EVERY BABY BORN IN THE U.S.? What then, a fealty pledge to the king?
He is NOT banning it.....he is saying that it would ONLY apply to someone born here with parents who are BOTH citizens at the time of their birth. That would disquality a couple of his own kids!!! BUT, maybe someone should ask him about all those pregnant Russian women staying at his resorts in Florida until THEIR babies are born!!!
I like him better than Trump though. He apparently is on some kind of upper drug. But Trump is on something too, I think a combination of uppers and tranquilizers at different times.
If you are speaking of Musk, my understanding is that he loves flying high on ketamine
It was said the other day that Musk is "autistic" which is something that I had never heard before???? So is it being implied that he is some sort of "savant".
He is definitely on the spectrum......definitely NOT a savant......
People with autism do not necessarily have savant skills.
Thanks guys
Wasn't Marjorie Trash Bag Greene a membe of DOGE?
Wannabe.
Maybe she’s on their pep squad.
DOGETTE
Merely "dog".
MTG ak B-6 is head of the new dog e committee. House maga from TN Tim Burchett announced he's to be a member. Who else? Haven't heard.
I’m not liking him in Tennessee and definitely don’t want him in DC full time. He’s a train wreck waiting to happen
Burchett's a flipping head case. He believes aliens have undersea bases here on Earth...methinks he's been watching way too many sci-fi movies thinking they were documentaries.
If you mean Marjorie Traitor Greed, I believe you are right!
I'm waiting for MTG was supposed to release the Epstein victims she paid off for the republican party.
Trump changed longstanding policies allowing immigration to enter schools, churches etc. Now ICE attempts to raid a Chicago school and the didn’t allow entry following the sanctuary cities policies

💯 😭
I think maybe he's hoping they will hear and follow the truth, instead of Trump/GOP lies. TRUTH TO POWER.
Vel Santic, please, I am 80+ and I'm not naive.
His ICE raids are upending the agricultural and farm businesses considerably. We need to keep this in the forefront of news also.
Yes they are and public media has been on hush. Definitely spreading the news even to the world outside out country so they can let everyone know what is happening here in America with this cynical wannabe Dictator.
If the mainstream media is frightened....what does that tell you.....who are the billionaire owners?
This is sickening. Listen to how we are talking after 5 days. Look what he has done to divide and terrify us. He's not a wannabe anymore. He is exactly what he said he would be. Dictator on Day 1.

That's didn't do much when they repealed Roe vs Wade. 😢
Roe was always on shaky grounds, even RBG thought so. Birthright citizenship is unequivocally set forth in XIV amendment. While anything is possible, not all things are probable. I don’t trust this SCOTUS as far as I can throw them, but a decision that extreme would break the entire constitutional order. Protesting would be the least of it.
No it didn’t. Well -- it did, sort of. All those states pitting in abortion protection. It’s a long game. I’ll see you there Jenn!!
I hope we still have a country left in 4 years.
We have the midterm elections, too. We can make a difference there if Democrats decide to show up at the polls.
Absolutely!!! This is how we need to fight. For sure!
Except that they will. Trump played the long game by stacking the federal courts in his last term, and he’s got The Supremes in his hip pocket. Can’t you just see Hegseth and Kavanaugh high fiveing each other when they meet for a booze up?
If they do rule in his favor that's step one of dismantling the constitution.
I thought it was already dismantled when Supreme Court allowed immunity from crimes committed within his official duties. All he has to say is this in my official duties.
Throw in Gaetz and a few teenagers.
REad Joyce Vance for her opinion about what the Unsupremes may/may not do.
Ben, I’ve been speaking truth to power for years on FB and I logged on today to find all of my posts, my history and most of my STORIES, the one’s that were in any political or an expression of my opinion, have disappeared! I’m not going to delete the app I’m going to copy the bs stories and post the truth on other platforms. Screw FB.
They did the same to my posts.. I’m done there. What free speech?
The same happened to me.
FB will be called out for allowing out right lies to flourish on their platform. Just wait.
I deleted the fb app like so many others. I found out with every person who deletes Zuckerberg is making up with fake accounts.
I found a fake account with my name and I reported it REPEATEDLY to FB and it’s still there.🤦🏼♀️🤬
All the years I was on fb when I reported an account for any reason they never removed. My account got hacked a few times and they always replied doesn’t go against our policies.
It's not America who'll solve these problems.... It's we Americans!
2 party system NO LONGER WORKS!
Billionaires, oligarchs.have tossed Americans aside!
There's more Americans than billionaires!
We need to act quickly, because it will be awful soon!
Severe food shortage coming soon! Please stock up (water too).
Jgesterlin@aol.com
How is Assbook different from X in that regard?
It’s not. If I see RW posts on FB I will share it with the truth on other platforms.
Well…nothing now.
You can also accuse trolls of anything as no checking when you block them also can use all the @$^&*language you want. Eggs in Hilo up.to $15 coffee $22. Was$ 8 and $9 before the inauguration of FELON tRump
"Who you gonna call?
I'm in rhode Island and own a small business and would like to fight back!
I can open my store for meetings, etc
Jgesterlin@aol.com
Can they do that legally??!
They're above the law!
I've been working up to dropping FB. You've persuaded me to do it now.
No! Don’t do that! Read my following comment first before making any rash decisions!
I sent a DM to Zuckerberg and told him exactly how I feel about their app now. I told him he sold out so he could keep his business and not have to worry about being taken to court every other day. I told him if he keeps blocking my posts I will screenshot them before I send it and post it on YouTube, Bluesky, Substack and Threads and let everyone know that Facebook wouldn’t post this! I will do that the SECOND I have a post blocked.🎟️
Tiktok went nuts on my phone!
Even though I deleted the app!
Also deleted FB AND INSTAGRAM
We can only hope….and act!!!
You guys make me feel hopeful.👍
The first hope I have had in a long time…..
"Here's how Trump's vengeance machine works. He's the mob boss, who keeps his hands clean, while others do his dirty work." - Robert Reich
And they're so stupid..they volunteer 😭
We see it, others see it, when is someone going to do something about it! He's a national unnatural disaster
Hallelujah, there is a God and He's on our side.
When a clown, moves into a palace
it doesn´t mean, he becomes a king.
It means, the palace becomes a CIRCUS
This is a hellscape. Not a circus. Although I find a circus creepy, too.

I wish I could count on this. But the Republicans just proposed a bill to allow him to run again in ‘28, when he is 82.
Would that take a larger majority? Part of me thinks this will be a blessing in disguise if we can get to midterms. If things go the way we think, midterms could be a true blood bath, and we need a Congressional supermajority to make major changes. But I worry he will get rid of elections.

We'll see about that!
We have to organize NOW!
Trust no politician, except Bernie, AOC, Jssmin Crocker!!!
Truth to power!
Other pols are already bought or waiting with their hands out!
That bill is a distraction. It will never pass.
According to a report by Meidas this morning, this will not happen
That's because they have no one else. No repig has the brains, guts, integrity, morality to step up.
Democrats enabled the whole thing too!
It's insane they're going to stand by while people. Will die. The healthiest may make it!
That would take a constitutional change. Rs are stupid.
That’s the worst thing I’ve heard today. That’s really hard at this time in history.
The comments I'm seeing are sort of defeatist, like, The courts have it rigged and He had a long view, we're fucked. What if the Resistance in France gave up? They didn't. I don't want to give up.

I agree Kathy. We need to stay strong in alliance
If only we could terminate his presidency right now. Maga, himself are only in this for themselves. there is no solution only to bend the knee and kiss the ring. Joe Biden may have appointed more judges before he left office. there is going to be some way he is going to buck the system and rely on the supreme court to get them to work in his favor. We need a lot of light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Exactly!!!!
Please organize!
Lots of us are heading for disaster Project2025 is the plan!
It's only great if you're a billionaire!
Please reach out to organizers! First to my mind are the organizers for the latest march!
I have a meeting place in RI. Jgesterlin@aol
That's awesome! Here not so much!
Aside from a couple progressives, I totally don't trust neither party!
Democrats are owned by billionaires! It's like no one read P2025!
By right wing billionaires.... Terrifying!
Please stock up. Right now!
This week is another pig fest, and iras and other plans are going to be hit.
This is not a RI issue, Everyone is set up for disaster and we need to get together and help and plan with each other!
Burner phones... makes sense!
Please keep in touch and try to get regular people together! Friends or neighbors. Can find out who led the huge marches!
My email is clogged with meidas type news sources.
Great to meet you!
We all need to unite, even the intellectually challenged!
They ll be dead too!
Stupid people are susceptible to leadership
