I'm certainly not "pissed off" about something so inconsequential, but your reply certainly has all the hallmarks of MAGA nonsense - avoid acknowledging that you were clearly wrong and make up stuff you know nothing about to distract from the fact that you were clearly wrong.
Better to judge now while we can still do something about it.
I am not surprised your “argument” is zeroing in on the implications of the original law and why it would be bad, rather than addressing the actual issue I brought up.
The wording of the Constitution is such that it applies to all individuals, regardless of the original intention (which I am very aware that it was originally intended to guarantee full citizenship to free slaves), it’s been interpreted and upheld in court that it applies to all individuals.
You’ve done exactly what I expected - zeroed in on the theoretical of the example, instead of actually understanding why the approach to address it is wrong. Everything you said about birthright citizenship and why it’s bad or whatever is irrelevant because the issue is that you can’t just go above board because you think it’s the right thing to do.
The problem is that we have an entire process for updating the constitution and an entire governing body to determine the correct interpretation. If America wants birthright citizenship to end then they can do that - I am completely unaffected entirely - but you don’t do that by just having the President decide so.
It’s completely apolitical - saying that the President has the authority to single-handedly override the constitution, esp. when the current interpretation has been upheld, is dangerous. Imagine if Joe Biden or whoever you want to pick signed an EO that heavily modified the 2nd amendment beyond his executive powers? I’m sure you would suddenly be in the camp of “the constitution needs to be followed!” would you not? Is the President operating above the Constitution only okay if it’s someone or something you like? Because that’s very much how it’s sounding.
I don’t feel like engaging in this any further but I would never support the President operating outside the scope of the executive office no matter who it is or what it’s for.
It’s also very telling you bring up the “Um ackshully, democrats wanted slaves 🤓☝️” because any basic US history class shows the affinities and political stances of the parties have swapped several times over the decades. Both parties in the 1800s are not what they are today. The democrats who supported slavery (Dixiecrats) would align with modern republican politics more than modern democrat ones. You’re intentionally leaving out context.
I’m also not a liberal. I am completely politically independent and make my judgements based on who is actually going to benefit Americans of all types and who will respect the law. Just so happens there’s a lot less (R)s at the federal level willing to do so.
I just spent half an hour on the phone with AppleCare, including speaking with a higher-tier support rep, to register my deep concern about this. I talked to them about 1984, and mind control that involves changing words and their meanings, dropping words from our lexicon, etc. I explained that this is an international body of water, every other country on Earth calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and up until a few days ago, this is what it's been called in the U.S.

I'm not sure what the point is there. The only thing worse than 45 renaming things for his own ego would be tech companies ignoring the official names for political reasons.
The official name of this international body of water is The Gulf of Mexico.
Geographical names can still be dictated by country’s governments. They all have boards like the GNIS.
This isn’t even the first thing that shares an international border that has different names depending on where you’re at. Ever heard of the Rio Grande? Yeah that’s not what they call it in Mexico and several other countries.
This isn’t a new phenomena and we’ve had both liberal and conservative presidents in the past rename things without other countries following. You’ve just fallen for an unnecessary and unimportant controversy.
The person you called at AppleCare is likely someone chilling at home, probably contracted, just playing on their phone until you hang up because they have literally zero power to influence the company. They’re as powerful as a part-time worker at Walmart. Anyone they share your thoughts with will go nowhere.
Not in the United States. I dislike what 45/47 did, but he appears to have followed the law when he did it. I'll certainly never refer to it as anything other than the Gulf of Mexico.
Wow, I did not know that you were formally qualified. My sincere apologies. What were the number of deaths from the flu in those years?
While I agree completely, it was worse than that. Never forget the, “Inject this experimental something in to your body or else!”
The process to bring down the prices started on day one.
🤣
Long way to say, you are right but I still want to argue and make stuff up. The parties never "swapped." 🙄 Yes, under Woodrow Wilson the democrats learned that they could buy the black vote. (He actually called them something else. Was he a democrat or Republican? 🤔) And it worked well for decades, but fortunately that gravy train is coming to an end and people are finally starting to catch on to the grift.
Of course, the chickens were culled under the same policy the existed under 45.
Weird how 45 supporters seem to understand that the economy can be affected by what happened in the previous administration. But they pretend to not understand that inflation under Biden was primarily a result of the pandemic.
How tragically it seems, I'm glad for Tim as he seems to have find a higher meaning then satisfying the stockholders in his life now - to kiss the ring.
Would gladly see them receive more honor in their land.
The Wikings were explorers before conquerors, so they would never fight the Native Americans rights.
Oh yeah, they have got plenty of validation from it too, haven't they?Pretty sure Native Americans got here before the Vikings.

I can tell you’re the kind of person who has decided what’s true simply based on how you feel. Basic history lessons combat what you say, but I’m assuming maybe they were missed?
Good luck and God bless sir. You’ll need it if you interpreted anything said as “I agree but want to argue”.
Oh I much prefer keeping it as it was: Gulf of Mexico
But if Trump had to have his way, I would then want both names displayed.
That was a small part. The biggest part he got voted in for, he's doing on a massive scale. Massive illegal immigrant deportation, cutting the most useless stuff from the government. Sorry for all of those Iraqi Sesame Street fans, but you'll have to pay for your own kid shows now.
You're pretending the US cares about the opinion of others? Why?
Here's a tip for you: The US stopped giving a **** what the UK has to say on anything on July the 2nd 1776 🇺🇸
So in 4 years the market never recovered? And in fact got worse every year Biden was in office. And not only eggs, but everything else? Weird how 46 supporters seem acknowledge the inflation when Biden was in office was due to Biden policies. That's like Biden claiming record job growth after the world was shut down.
Again, just like your kids don't get to keep the money you stole while robbing a bank, illegal aliens don't give birth to American citizens being here illegally.
I'm the kind of person that understands history. Things don't change simply because you want them to.
Good luck and God bless sir. You’ll need it if you think you get to break the law AND keep the rewards after you are caught.
Just for others: notice how once again, the actual topic (no person should be able to override or operate above the constitution) is being ignored, and instead ethics and morality of the example (birthright citizenship) is all being talked about, despite birthright citizenship never being a point of discussion or debate, and was instead used as an example of a scenario where the rules of updating the Constitution are not being followed.
Notice how the argument is just an attempt to assign me to the stance of birthright citizenship being good (which I've not taken a stance on) and attempting to take a morally superior position about it, which again, was never the actual topic of discussion and is completely irrelevant to my actual point.
This is awesome, Trump is Awesome and America will be great again.
