A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

Oh look, Paul of Tarsus condemned this in Romans. "And why not do evil that good may come? As some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just."

people died for birthright citizenship. i get that it’s more fun to be a pundit when your team has the white house and you get to brag to friends about visiting the oval office; but what i’m wondering is if maybe that’s actually not a good reason to throw away something we fought a civil war to win?

The 2028 Dem nominee for POTUS really needs an old school fire-and-brimstone anti-corruption platform
from top to bottom all of these guys treat the united states government as a neat toy they can show off to their friends and use to impress girls
and we're all just a bunch of action figures to play with and discard when they're bored

So after all of their primary expenses are covered they would have a *disposable income* of $12,000 to $33,000 per year.
Folks, if your food, shelter, healthcare and childcare are covered and you still have money leftover what exactly makes you precarious?

This is my big soap box. We gave the presidency too much power with the PATRIOT Act, extrajudicial drone strikes, indefinite detention and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump is just using executive authority Congress gave to the presidency after 9/11 to maximum effect.
Congress, in my opinion has ceded too much of its authority to the Executive Branch in the last nearly quarter of a century. What the administration has been doing is simply part the Post 9/11 legacy. It’s got to stop. I say this as a GWOT era veteran.
Credit to Rand Paul. He hated extrajudicial drone strike killings under Obama and he HATES them under Trump where Congress has given no authorization.

Batya might be just fine with a dudetrustme basis for a terrorist designation, but Americans with a functioning moral compass actually expect a plausible public rationale for who is to be treated as a terrorist in our name.

Plenty of people will point out, but I will happily pile on, that in order for moderate dems to win general elections they must first win their primaries.
Everyone has their beats when it comes to politics. For example, I try to tie everything to state legislative elections.
I'm just glad my beat isn't trying to dunk on progressives and promoting an ideology that's rapidly dying because being milquetoast in 2025 is lame as hell

Minutes later, asked about Nick Fuentes, she says: “the antidote to speech that you don't like is more speech. It isn't shutting down speech.”
