Kamala Harris will campaign in the Lone Star State, not because she expects to win Texas, but because she wants to shine a light on Texas’ abortion ban.
Because Ted might lose. That’s a pretty great reason.
You mean Canadian born Raphael Cruz? It’s disrespectful to call a republican anything but their name assigned at birth.
He’s Canadian?..how did he run for president?
Edit: his moms a citizen, he didn’t come to the states till he was 4, but he was hoping that was loophole enough I guess
The actual requirement is “natural born citizen”, which doesn’t really have a formal definition. The most reasonable interpretation is “citizen from birth”. While that includes everyone born on US soil, people born elsewhere can still meet that requirement. John McCain was born on a US base in Panama.
I was born in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. My parents were coming back from a morale cruise to Bermuda, and I got born on the USS Enterprise. I am considered a natural born citizen.
Edit: still gonna be Wesley here. It was the CVN-80 not the NCC 1701(*)! You know the one that Chekhov got captured on while he and the rest of the away team were trying to save some whales, while Kirk was trying to get laid.
I got born on the USS Enterprise
Shut up, Wesley
Doubly true for Rafael, given the bill he introduced
I wonder if he understood the irony as he did it
(Most of) These people aren’t dumb, they’re just giant fucking assholes
I strenuously object to you claiming that he’s a Canadian.
It’s true, I just strenuously object. You keep him.
If it helps, I’m pretty sure Raphael is just as unhappy about that fact as you are.
I don’t know… he still has lots of support in Alberta.
And T is going to New York because he’s obsessed with doing a show at Madison Square Garden.
Really shines a light on what each candidate cares about.
Wouldn’t be the first time.
For the curious, this
“Pro American Rally”Nazi rally occurred in 1939At Madison Square Garden, the rally opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. The mood was jubilant. Attendees wore Nazi armbands, waved American flags and held aloft posters with slogans like “Stop Jewish Domination of Christian America.” There were storm troopers in the aisles, their uniforms almost identical to those of Nazi Germany. “It looked like any political rally — only with a Nazi twist,” said Arnie Bernstein, author of Swastika Nation.
The speeches were explicitly anti-Semitic, and tirades against “job-taking Jewish refugees” were met with thunderous applause. “They demanded a white gentile America. They denounced Roosevelt as ‘Rosenfeld,’ to say that Roosevelt was in the pocket of rich Jews,” said Sarah Churchwell, author of Behold, America. In equal measure to the xenophobia, the speeches were loaded with American boosterism.
Sound familiar?
The real reason conservatives love Israel so much, is that they want somewhere to ship all the Jews in America off to.
Bible literalists also believe that a huge war in Israel is a prerequisite to the second coming of Christ AKA the end times.
