It's so obvious this is politically motivated. It's not only politically motivated, that's the ONLY motivation there is.

This idea that they pulled a fast one on the government to make her eligible for derivative citizenship doesn't really hold water when she would have just been eligible as an adult. NONE of it holds up to the application of two brain cells.

The thing that doesn't make any sense about the whole Ilhan Omar citizenship thing is that if she were actually older, they would have just...had her file her own citizenship application. Which she would have been eligible for at any point between now and then.

Anyway: the idea that her citizenship can be undone beyond the statute of limitations because someone else committed a crime (even if true) is not something that we should tolerate.

It's nice to be in the place where the money would change your life by not letting an emergency ruin it later, rather than by making up for past emergencies.

Ilhan Omar got derivative citizenship when her father was naturalized. She didn't do anything to get citizenship except be her father's child. What the fuck conduct can they point to on her part. Rationality is not their point in any of this, but we need to point out that there's no fucking way.

Feel like anyone who argues this should have to give $30,000 to someone who thinks it would be life changing.

Utterly bizarre to me that this woman said ON CAMERA that she passed the bar in China, and some folks are scratching their heads over why the story went viral. It’s because they’re weird & they’re liars & this is just so obvious & incredibly easy to understand & PITIFUL. And did I mention weird?

But to be totally fair to him, they had filed for divorce before she gave birth.

He sent her a text saying "Congratulations, I'll pray for our child."

Fun fact: in the eleven days when he was on the job, his wife DELIVERED THEIR BABY in the hospital and he didn't attend because he was too busy devoting his life to Donald Trump.

What y'all aren't appreciating in giggling about the firing is that she's gonna just put White House Press Secretary in her bio forever.

Right? The best guess anyone had is that someone had told him to consult romances to figure out a grand gesture to get his wife back.

For those not in the know: a short while after Scaramucci Scaramucci-ed it, he started following like...every romance author on Twitter. As many as he could find, at least, and he couldn't find all of us because we started blocking him. Yes, the real Scaramucci. No, we don't know why.

Probably can't, since the whole inside of the car is probably the fans etc needed to pull this off.

Okay but if she starts following all the romance authors, we KNOW there's something in the water

I tell people I have been a law clerk and a law professor because those things are true. I try to never let lawyer or attorney show up in official things. I also don’t correct everyone talking about me because a lot of people don’t make the distinction and it’s annoying.

No. I have been a law clerk and I have been a law professor. I have never practiced law.

I do think “how were you general counsel when you never passed the bar; have you committed a crime?” to be a fair discussion.

The latter feels actively misleading.

There is a big difference between people’s unwitting communications about you and what you say about yourself. The former is just not wanting to be pedantic all the time.

I get Josh’s point. I also do not correct every rando who calls me an attorney or a lawyer even though I am not able to practice law. However I would not call myself a lawyer in my own bio and would not serve as general counsel of an organization.

I think the future should look more like "a fuckload of trains and get more of this shit off the road" and less like...mad max trial runs.

These things don't have LIDAR and fog degrades the self-driving mode of the vehicle. Why would they add fog to the road to make sure that the vehicle couldn't split second respond.

Why did it need to rotate in midair? Is making sure that the driver undergoes rapid unnecessary rotation so they're extremely disoriented when they land a help in some way?

This doesn't make sense. How does the car know that it's safe to go over. What if there's a cliff on the other side. What if the blockage is too long. What if two Roadsters are side by side and both do this and then kickflip into each other.

Yup. The Niemoller poem is self-executing. They have no solutions, only blame, and the problems persist so the blame must continue no matter what they accomplish.

You can decide to be not pro-abortion. But telling other people they can't be is weird.

You should not vote for fascism because fascism is evil. But also, you should not vote for fascism because fascism is stupid.
