Melania is Slovenian or maybe SLOBvanian, but a naturalized citizen. I'm betting if he caught her cheating (which she's rumored to do), he'd deport her. Then he'd be free to find a new gold digger since long-term is not his thing.

You have a very good point, Jan Myslajek. Rubio got elected to the Senate by playing up his parents' "escape" from Cuba. He first claimed they "escaped" on a raft, but it was proven that they came in an airplane which he then said felt like a raft. And FL voted for him - the poor son of Cuban refugees.

According to Dump, Rubio is not an American citizen just because his Cuban mother birthed him here. So, if Dump is correct, then he's given a lot of power and access to sensitive info to somebody who is not American.

Melania wasn't even born here - and neither were her parents. And they are not South African whites, so they should be sent back to where they came from - according to Dump.

And Baron along with her since he is an "anchor" baby. Since Ivanna is no longer alive, maybe Melania can also take Junior, Eric and Ivanka with her since they too, are anchor babies. Tiffany can stay here since both of her parents have birthright, but he's looking into that so stay tuned!

Melania wasn't even an American citizen when Barron was born. She wasn't naturalized until a few months later. She also brought her parents here, in a "chain migration" that Trump finds so offensive. Plus, Melania was given special permission to be in the US because she was given an Einstein Visa... meaning she had "valuable talents" that were needed here.

Trump tried to post on the White House site that she had two college degrees, one of which was in architecture. Not even true. She didn't even finish her first year before becoming a model. When that was revealed, Trump hastily removed the mention. But he still insists that he was a top student at Wharton. However, he does not appear on any Dean's List from the school.

In a surprise investigation, Bondi has discovered that NONE of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were legitimate American citizens at the time of the signing, nor were those who ratified the Constitution. They all became citizens after its existence.

Talk about an abuse of birthright citizenship! Those immigrants should never have been allowed on these beautiful shores, much less create rules that limit me, your favorite president ever!

Donald tore down the copy on his wall, and asked the Supreme Court to declare him king since neither document was valid. He also immediately doubled the tariffs on England until they admitted we won Canada in that war, and threatened to deport anyone speaking English to penal colonies in Australia.

Here is what seems a true reading, in my view, of the type of females Trumpf has stocked his so called government with:

There is a pitiable and very inferior type of female, found sometimes in Government and other circles where blustering males are bossing things around for everyone else, who try to suck up to what they perceive to be the male power holders.

Their actions cry: "Look at me! I'm as tough as you all are! I approve of you, and I am emulating you! Please please please NOTICE ME and APPROVE OF ME!" Bondi, Greene, and the others (fill in the blanks) all fit this mold, in my view.

Not strictly "where" but the subjunctive "one must have the body". It's a medieval Latin construction that sits awkwardly in Classical Latin but is in the same vein as the announcement "habemas papa"--"we [now are going to have] a pope". In medieval English common law, the issue was that even though someone can be outlawed for failing to appear (out-law meaning that literally: no longer protected by the law) when summoned, the courts cannot lay charges against someone without a strict legal procedure, including a summons or a physical arrest, and charges laid in front of the person so that they can defend themselves. And yes: using the neutral "they" because applicable to both men AND women.

Think he got that confused with Springbok, as in antelope. Tick another boc on the Dementia Chart.

I've got to go with Mitch McMushmouth! He is the one who unlocked the door to perdition, then held it open for all the other cockroaches pictured here - and many others - to rise to their positions of malevolent incompetence within the kakistocracy.

So I guess that Donald Shitler Trump is next setting his sights on the First Amendment. To the MAGA morons: there is a reason that it’s the First Amendment!

but, but, but . . . KaroLIE Leavitalone said in her first appearance before the press that . . . "it is a priority of this White House to honor the First Amendment." Maybe she meant to say "tRump's First Amendment" which is written in black sharpie.

When I first read this, I forgot I was reading AB and assumed it was real. It’s a weird time!

Judith, you're fine. It is AB and it is real. Whatever AB says is real. Would AB fib to us? Never.

How about a new ballad about the current occupant of the WH: "Born in the USA without a brain, without a heart, he exists to tear the country apart"? The verses of all his perfidies could go on ad nauseam.

I looked up Springsteen which is a Dutch name, so perhaps Bruce is really an Afrikaner from South Africa, which would make him entitled to automatic American citizenship. Don't know about his wife or his guitar, though.
