Which one?Should EVERYONE born in the US NOT be automatically be a US citizen?Should Citizenship be granted to people who are only here legally?What if a couple is here with a legal Tourist visa and they have a baby here?If the idea of ending Birth-Right Citizenship is being floated, the propopnents of the damn thing had better put on their thinking hats for this one...

O_oWhat's the weirdest political mailer you've gotten this year?
And if the Democrats win, take over Congress, and Mueller's FBI investigation proceeds unhindered, what might a desperate President Trump do to save himself?

Are foreigners "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, just by being IN the United States (or its territory)?...The legal definition of jurisdiction is "the authority given by law to a court to try cases and rule on legal matters within a particular geographic area and/or over certain types of legal cases." According to this definition, if foreigners are NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the US then American police could not arrest them - and they could not be tried in American courts. This is the protection foreign diplomats get with "diplomatic immunity". If every foreigner had this protection, there would be no need for a special exemption for diplo... less

Politico has obtained another weekly Trump schedule, and if anything, it appears to contain even less actual work.
Tuesday’s schedule featured nine hours of “Executive Time” and just over three hours of work. Other days on the schedule were only slightly busier. Trump had no meetings or commitments before 11 a.m. on any day of the week. Every day included long blocks of unstructured screen timehttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/10/report-president-trump-barely-works-at-all.html?utm_source=fb&fbclid=IwAR31RhunFUs8_izIjsNNueuUA5bW32Z6ptwxsf3a-gD0sSRwa_Ves9kLZgITrump has done such a comprehensively awful job of being president that it feels petty, or even contradictory, to complain th... less

You can either strengthen or weaken corporations or small businesses, who ultimately have much more power to change the direction of the world by determining where you will spend your money. Give the farmers more power by buying local produce directly from them. Give companies who support what you believe more power by buying from them, and stay away from the companies you despise. If enough of us do this, we will see a quick shift. less
