The next waypoint is Trump's sentencing hearing.

How does an undocumented worker get a government dole-out?

Re: Ask Bill Maher
So undocumented workers don't drain government funds and don't do crime. But poor US citizens do both. I have a solution for you - deport the poor and keep the illegals.

Over here we're astonished to hear that the Orange Moron has threatened to invade Greenland if they don't give it to him. Mini Trump is there now making a fool of himself.
The Trump minime, Musk has created a real and dangerous mess by calling one of our MPs with a gold standard for safeguarding women a ‘rape genocide apologist’. She's now under real physical threat from right-wing nutters.
Thanks guys - and he isn't even in place yet.

Justice hasn't been done and has been seen not to be done.
This is only the beginning I fear, he'll now attack the institutions and the holders of positions in them that he dislikes - the President is immune, American justice is at great risk

Can't believe he actually said that he's going to "expand the US Empire."

The history of electing right wing would-be dictators does not encourage optimism. I suspect in 5 years you'll be were we were 5 years after Brexit - fucked. Normally I would just shrug and say that you voted for it, tough. But the stuff you get wrong affects the rest of us.

So I had to look up how we do it:
When a Birth Certificate Can Prove British Citizenship
1. Born in the UK Before 1 January 1983:
• If you were born in the UK before this date, you are automatically considered a British citizen, regardless of your parents’ citizenship. A birth certificate showing your birth in the UK is sufficient proof.
2. Born in the UK After 1 January 1983:
• You are automatically a British citizen if at least one of your parents was a British citizen or settled in the UK (held indefinite leave to remain or permanent residence) at the time of your birth.
• A birth certificate alone does not confirm this; you may also need to provide proof of your parent(s)’ status at the time of your birth.

He's not the anti-Christ he's a very naughty boy.
It's hard to find someone over here now that voted for Brexit either.

Re: And trump rolls over for putin
The great deal maker gives away the farm (that he doesn't own) and gets nothing in return. What a remarkable, shit-headed idiot he is. A monumental fuck up. Putin wins.

Important read. Not much point me summarising it.
"So this is how liberty dies… " Making sense of Trump's first three weeks
Already it's out-of-date, she can add attacking free speech in Europe, encouraging the extreme right wing in Munich, betraying Ukraine and promoting Putin.
(Vance is a fucking disgrace.)
