It's Official: The GOPe Wants to Be Nice to Groomer Corporation Disney
Nikki Haley simultaneously declares herself part of the Old Corporate Guard of the GOPe -- as if we didn't know! -- and takes a swipe at DeSantis, piggybacking on Trump's "DeSanctimonious" insult.
What's next -- posing with a bottle of Bud Light? So yeah, there are dividing lines being formed. GOP candidates are lining up to to defend an evil, child-corrupting groomer corporation if it helps them "draw a distinction" from "DeSanctimonious."Matt WalshUpdate: Fox's Trump shill Steve Hilton has on Kat Timpf to explain why it's bad that DeSantis is fighting Disney. Kat Timpf! What a strong conservative voice Hilton has to agree that we shouldn't fight corporations! Now that Kat Timpf says it, I agree completely! The claim that this isn't coming from Trump Central is just flat-out wrong.
@MattWalshBlog The entire Republican field is attacking DeSantis from the Left. I don't care if you're a Trump supporter, you have to see what a disaster it will be if this tactic is allowed to work.
Hey @Disney, my home state will happily accept your 70,000+ jobs if you want to leave Florida.
— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) April 26, 2023
We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!
SC’s not woke, but we’re not sanctimonious about it either. pic.twitter.com/uf1PWQjGc5
𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗠𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮Ding! No one really believes she's running for President. She's advertising the fact that she can be an attack dog against DeSantis and blunt attacks on Trump for his difficult dealings with women and massive gender gap. This kind of group pile-on is usually directed at the front-runner, not a challenger who hasn't even declared yet. Relatedly: It turns out that Trump owns significant amounts of stock in InBev, the corporation that in turn owns Anheuser-Busch. Trump stayed silent on the controversy, Trump, Jr. told people to stop boycotting his corporate frenz. But DeSantis is the "Managed Principal" agent of the corporate establishment and "globohomo," according to Sundance and the paid Trump twitter accounts. The only guy opposing Disney is the guy secretly in their thrall. Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels. If you don't like me pushing back against this stupid meme that Trump's paid shills are endlessly pushing on Twitter, tell them to stop pushing that, and then I'll have no need to "counterpunch." And maybe Trump needs to be told: This is not a winning issue for you. Republicans are rewarding DeSantis for being the only Republican willing to push back against groomer Disney.
@txsalth2o Quit pandering to be Trump's VP, you're better than that. This is pathetic.
I think Trump supporters are ignoring this/downplaying it by claiming something like, "ah, he's just insulting DeSantis." No, he's doing a lot more than that: He's making policy going forward. He is committing himself to this Corporations Are Our Fwenz worldview, which I thought MAGA was all about repudiating, not rehabilitating. I supported Trump because I thought he was "The Only One Who Can Fix" the GOPe's servile, slavish attitude towards the corporate donor cartel. I sure didn't support him so he could defend that cartel. If you wonder why I keep harping on this: Because this is the single most important issue to me. This, and weaponization of government. (Which is a closely related issue, as the government enlists woke corporations to attack citizens in ways our increasingly-irrelevant Constitution says that the government itself may not participate in.) And I'm not changing my mind about woke corporations, even if Trump wants me to.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' battles with Walt Disney Co. over a state law banning public school lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity could boost his support among U.S. Republican voters as he mulls a possible White House bid, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. ... Forty-four percent of Republican respondents in the two-day poll ended Tuesday said they had a more favorable view of DeSantis because of the fight with Disney, which led him to sign a retaliatory law in February that aims to strip the company of its self-governing authority at its Orlando-area park

Ironically DeSantis is bringing this on himself by not declaring whether he is running or not. Maybe he is transitioning into a candidate, maybe not, maybe he is confused about his own identity and is questioning. At the very least he should tell us.

The law in Florida is making it very difficult, essentially impossible, for Governor DeSantis to declare for President. The legislature is working on a way around this. Otherwise he would have to resign as Governor to declare himself a candidate for President.

Say, government can't do X, Y, and Z, but corporations can.
So, we just threaten the corporations and force them into doing the things we can't. For example, the government can't ban you from twitter, but twitter can ban you from twitter. So, I just call the head of twitter and say "dude, we are going to pass a law that will hurt your company if you don't ban these right wingers."
Or Disney - The central bank pushes ESG down on banks, the banks push it down on Disney, now your interest rate is tied to your LBGTQ friendliness, and voila. Disney is funding ads against Ron DeSantis.

"Disney’s next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor. In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing. Watch! That would be a killer.”

From the Politics is a Sport perspective:
This is a strong attack on Team Trump. It's an unnecessary forfeit on critical cultural issues for them.
The "DeSantis isn't even a candidate!" tact is pedantic and annoying though. I'm sure there's good political strategy for the timing of his announcement, but the approach is tiresome.

I dunno. There's a real risk this becomes a one-trick pony. While we're all dick measuring in the primary there are a ton of more important issues to be addressed. This is certainly a concern, but it's not going to win the presidency. The more people don't talk about Biden and what's happening to the country, the worse our chances of victory become. In fact, that's one of the reasons Democrat strategists want Trump to be their opposition candidate. It will be all about him and not Biden or his failures. This issue runs the same risk IMVHO

To be fair, DeSantis is in a tough position. Biden is as weak a Dem candidate as you could ever hope for, and DeSantis is looking good in Republican circles at the moment, so it seems like an ideal time to run...
But Trump is the 800lb gorilla in the room. If DeSantis loses to him in the primaries, it could seriously hurt his chances in 2028. I think DeSantis wants to wait as long as possible, see if any legal or medical issues hurt Trump. If so, he's primed to swoop in and save the party from what I'm sure would be a list of loser Establishment types. If Trump stays free and in good shape...DeSantis has to wait. Probably support Trump, but not too strongly.

I think DeSantis wants to wait as long as possible, see if any legal or medical issues hurt Trump. If so, he's primed to swoop in and save the party from what I'm sure would be a list of loser Establishment types. If Trump stays free and in good shape...DeSantis has to wait. Probably support Trump, but not too strongly.

Afternoon.
I think it's really funny how some people think Disney can just magically pack up Disney World and move it. How is that going to work? They going to throw Epcot onto a flatbed?
Fuck Disney.

The law in Florida is making it very difficult, essentially impossible, for Governor DeSantis to declare for President. The legislature is working on a way around this. Otherwise he would have to resign as Governor to declare himself a candidate for President.

Whether DeSantis is winning or losing does not change the fact that he is fighting, and Trump is making nice-nice with his groomer corporate donors.

Any 'Rons with young kids or grandkids are encouraged to go watch Suzume by Makota Shinkai. It's a really endearing anime about a high school girl running around Japan closing mystical doors in order to prevent earthquakes. It's very cool. The kind of movie Disney and PIXAR *used* to make.
Highly recommended.

Y’all, don’t kill me. What I understood Donnie Jr was saying is if we as consumers let it be known we are unhappy with a corporation’s actions, and that corporation responds positively, we should also respond positively. I don’t see where that is wrong. Now we can argue that InBev hasn’t responded positively enough, but there are plenty who feel they should just die no matter what they do, even if they say all dems are awful. I personally would like corps to not wade into politics at all.
As for Disney, if they today saw the errors of their ways, stoped the grooming nonsense, returned to core values of being the most entertaining place on earth for families, burned their rainbow flags, made movies that were entertaining and not political statements, you know, all the things, I would respond. How else do we get corps to understand bad behavior gets bad results, changing course means changing course on their business, too? If we want to be powerful and affect like the left, then let’s be powerful and affect.

True. It is gruesome to watch as well. But DJT is who he is. And that is unfortunately where the nation is. A national coalition just isn't possible at this moment on cultural issues. At least overtly. DJT rewarded pro-life voters for backing him though. He'll do the same for the cultural right wing. But he will not talk about it and will somewhat reluctantly do it. He's aiming for +81mil actual votes this time.

DeSantis is going to get embarrassed by Disney's lawsuit. His actions were clearly retaliatory to corporate officers at Disney speaking against his policies. A judge isn't going to look kindly at that even though Disney has no inalienable right to the Reedy Creek privileges.

I think it's really funny how some people think Disney can just magically pack up Disney World and move it. How is that going to work? They going to throw Epcot onto a flatbed?
Fuck Disney.

As it is, he has let the wrong people into his orbit for this experimental run.

If Desantis isn't even running why worry about what Nikki Haley says? Why worry about what anyone is saying who is criticizing him? You can't play it both ways, and his Hillary-like glitch in Japan on Monday didn't help matters.
FYI Matt Walsh is so principled he voted for Egg McMuffin in 2016, the guy who ran to Trump's left. So stunning, so brave.

>>> DeSantis is going to get embarrassed by Disney's lawsuit. His actions were clearly retaliatory to corporate officers at Disney speaking against his policies. A judge isn't going to look kindly at that even though Disney has no inalienable right to the Reedy Creek privileges. Ace will then rage about how his new golden calf Ron is actually as rotten as the old golden calf Don.
you say Trump isn't on Disney's side but it turns out that a lof Trump's supporters have gotten the message and are on disney's side.
Disney and its executives gave Trump $20 million in 2020. They gave Biden $1.85 million.
I'm sure this is all irrelevant.

Legal Mindset is a lawyer that has setup Special Districts in Florida and he does a good job of breaking down how Disney is in some Hot Water, Reedy Creek was supposedly a separate entity from Disney and you can't mix the two, and some other District did and got slapped down hard by Florida. Reedy Creek is supposed to be looking out for the best interests of the Residents not Disney World.
Disney is worried that the Monorail might not pass inspection and the State declare them unsafe and Disney or Reedy Creek will pay for New Monorail and the New District could make passengers pay to ride like a bus because it's transportation

And whenever the argument gets down to the heart of the matter, the same folks always come along to say we should save it for the Democrats.

Hitting DeSantis over Disney makes sense, because the NeverTrumpers are on Disney's side. I am surprised they are supporting DeSantis to begin with. Ever since they got on board, DeSantis's numbers have been dropping.

We often criticize Democrats for not having a material debate. Yet here we are with direct quotes from Trump which are responded to with ad hominems and fairy farts. I'm not completely convinced that DeSantis is the right candidate, but we never seem to get there. Between juvenile pudding ads, pejoratives and other diversions there is never a debate on fact. Trump has a record and we know what he's going to do. We also know how he is, and will continue to act. We further know the game Democrats are going to play now that Grandpa Fiddle Fingers has declared. It's really time to sack up and face reality. Because it only gets more difficult from here.

She also said that she would be proud to lose her only daughter in a war against Putin. Once again to win a rhetorical point. She liked to turn arguments into screaming fights that were far and away from the salient points to get attention of of her reasons for her positions. Partially because her family was Italian, and partially because she had done the "emotionally decide on a position" but hadn't completed the "work backwards to justify it"
She watched a lot of cable news. She thought CNN was on her side.

132 I never said Trump is or isn't on Disney's side, ace. Try again. He's against DeSantis because there can be only one Republican nominee. Anything he can attack DeSantis on he will. Duh. You don't like this? You sound like you did about Trump several years ago. So unfair, so stupid, blah blah blah. After Ron fails some more you'll get disgusted with him too.
134 Please try to stop being so silly. DACA is blatantly illegal but they let it stay because Trump didn't dot all the Is and cross all the Ts when rescinding Obama's blatantly illegal executive order. The Reedy Creek privileges aren't illegal, they were granted by the Florida legislature and signed off on by the governor at the time, decades ago. What will matter to the federal judiciary is why is Ron trying to rescind those privileges now? Because Disney criticized his politics. Ron is going to lose this one, he picked a battle without fully scouting the ground. JUST LIKE TRUMP.

I don't see the Anheurser-Busch stock where it's reported as being by the Independent. At any rate it appears aside from a small allocation to diversified large cap stocks and some ETFs, Trump is mostly in a wide variety of bonds. Not counting the real estate which is most of his net worth.
Possible the reporter misread some bonds as a stock holding?
Pg 32. of Disclosure Report 2 is "Investment Account #2" where Trumps is alleged to have $1-5M in InBev.

People can oppose someone without trotting out the pathetic bleatings of their hard left opponents, both for DeSantis and Trump. You can consider someone a poor choice for the presidency without deciding they are a horrific scumbag you feel sick touching the keys that make up their name.

But these guys aren't going to fix that, even if by some act of God they won the presidency. Expecting big daddy government to pull us out of what we put ourselves into as a nation and a culture is simply ignorant and foolish.

142 "why won't DeSantis just quit his job so he can be on Trump's level, without an actual job to do? Why won't DeSantis just discard his advantage for Trump's benefit?
Trivia, pettiness, nonsense personal attacks and claims that DeSantis is gay... I guess that Trump sure is confident in his record and ideas." -ace
If he quits his job, his new job would be presidential candidate, that seems like a worthwhile job to have if he has the track record to beat Trump. But he's trying to have his cake and eat it too.
Which is fine, but just admit it. You're still going to lose to Trump. Maybe Desantis could have a DA in FL try and indict Trump on reckless golf cart driving or some elaborate misdemeanor turned felony like excessive noise when he blew the socks off that pizza parlor visit.

It is true that when in office he used the control of the executive branch in very socially conservative ways. I think that these issues are pretty bottom-tier for him, but he's willing to do them because I think he looks at the modern left and just shakes his head in disgust like the rest of the country.

your analysis is badly flawed. The Legislature has the right to revise, revisit, or rescind past legislation at any time, and SCOTUS precedent has established that Legislative Action can not be overturned just because someone thinks they had the wrong motive. The left tries that all the time, but this Court has explicitly thrown out that line of attack.

It is true that when in office he used the control of the executive branch in very socially conservative ways. I think that these issues are pretty bottom-tier for him, but he's willing to do them because I think he looks at the modern left and just shakes his head in disgust like the rest of the country.

He is after an actual national coalition. Like Nixon. I believe, but don't know, that he wants to be "the President of everyone".
DJT is showing us how to get +81mil votes. And it isn't pretty.

Nikki will compromise on the issue, GOP style. Instead of allowing unlimited grooming and mutilation on children, she will only allow it on 7 year olds and up. Cuz she's a champion of family values n' stuff.

No, it is why the federal government should have far less power, so idiots have less access to meddle.
That's the bottom line that is so often obscured. The reason that these politicians are so destructive is because of the grossly oversized, over-powered, and unconstitutional federal government. I don't like Oregon legalizing pretty much every drug and going insane with policies but I do like the idea of having 50 states with 50 perspectives trying 50 different ways and showing what is best and what is not.
Which is why I want DeSantis to stay governor and show the way, rather than become a failed presidential candidate unable to do his job because he's out campaigning instead of governing. And I think Trump is too damned old and should focus on being a power broker and coalition builder rather than candidate.

If it were up to me, that's how I would define "Natural Born Citizen" but that is not how courts have defined it forever. Born here, born American. And I can see why; they don't want to create two classes of American.

Trump aligns with hideous people. Trump says stupid shit. etc. etc.
Guess what? He's been doing that for the last 20 years. Who gives a shit?
The simple fact of the matter is that when he was President, he was the most fucking awesome President we've had since Reagan, probably better than Reagan. Best President in my lifetime and yours. He wasn't perfect. Until Jesus H. Christ returns, you ain't gonna get that. But best that is plausible? Damn straight.
You may not like his obnoxious personality. You might not like his preening self-importance. I don't either. But when you weigh those shortcomings and character flaws against the positives, I don't give a shit about them. Do you, really? If you do, then you're not as concerned about or as afraid of the future as I am.

I probably prefer DeSantis as the President running the exec branch.
But I prefer Trump as nominee and President winner because I want TPTB to know that MAGA is unstoppable and their days are numbered.
Kill Donnie, and 1000 more will rise to replace him. There is no going back to the way things were.
Maybe Ronnie will govern as MAGA, but it would still be a win for the tactics they used to take down Donnie and I want the retribution.

"There is no response. They are valid. But it doesn't end the argument. Ace also hasn't argued how DeSantis can win. Not even in a general sense, let alone specifics as to coalition. That's the threshold question. Absent any evidence of that, it is just meaningless venting."
The converse is also true. Trump seems determined to burn it all down if he doesn't win. He won't commit to supporting the parties candidate if it's not him, and he's weaponizing his supporters. His argument to elect him thus far is weak and boils down to the other guy is so bad. I'd like to hear from any candidate what they intend to do, as nauseum. What are their priorities? Joe I'll they get it done? And there needs to be a constant coordinated attack on Democrats. But Trump is preventing that and will continue to misdirect the focus. That doesn't feel like someone who is in it for "us". It feels like a lot of personal grudges and score settling. Nobody is going to vote for that, at least not enough to win. Trump casually know this and I'll bet it's partially why he's backing off the culture war stuff. Just a guess.

If you are so butthurt over Trump trying to win the GOP nomination that you'd rather the nation remain in the hands of Biden, that's not a Trump problem. That's a YOU problem. It's about ego. Not prinicpal.

I honestly think DeSantis is painting himself in a corner all some things to chase a voter that really doesn’t care about actual policies.
I would prefer someone else like Youngkin in Virginia. But I have zero question that DeSantis is a better conservative than Trump, in addition to being more electable.

How do DeSantis surrogates expect DeSantis to run within the GOPe apparatus being anti-Disney now that we're seeing the GOPe wants to play nice with groomer Disney?
What is this secret group of DeSantis personal that he has that are going to run his campaign and loyal people to place in cabinet positions hiding?
DeSantis is going to fool the GOPe and surprise them with his own group of loyal people should he win?
Does someone have some inside track on this here at AoS that DeSantis surrogates can speak so confidently that the things Trump failed to do(appointed cabinet positions that stabbed him in the back) DeSantis will get right?

Jacinda Ardern accepts post at Harvard after resigning as New Zealand PM

Funny how she stepped down right after the wheels began to come off Covid and now she's heading off to the US to put some distance between her and her fellow citizens. I guess living her life as citizen Jacinda and facing the future of a midnight encounter with a fellow New Zealander and a tire tool made her start sending out resumes.

You can become a citizen one of two ways. At birth, or after birth, ie immigration. Nikki Haley was a citizen at birth. Hence, natural born citizen. Where your parents were born has no impact. Now you can argue it SHOULD have an impact. And maybe it should. But as of right now, if your parents were born on Mars and you are born in South Carolina, you are a natural born citizen. End of story.

Sid. Planting his Flag on the very Peak of Retard Mountain.
The left, and some on the right, grossly, GROSSLY over estimate how much abortion matters to most voters. The majority of people when asked (a very carefully worded) question about abortion support it at some point, but almost all oppose it past the point a heartbeat is detectable. Is this poll accurate? I dunno. I suspect it is based on conversations through my life and online interaction.
But the method most relied upon by pundits, especially those who declare abortion an untouchable live wire, tells them that they are wrong.

225 The government's actions, be they legislative or executive, have to be within the law. I'll be real surprised if "because they criticized us" or "no, we just happened to decide Disney's privileges weren't kosher right after they criticized us, no connection, honest!" gets a judge to sign off on as being within the law. There's that pesky first amendment free speech stuff we all believe in so much. The idea that the government can bring the pain because of the exercise of constitutional rights comes straight from the left. DeSantis should have just yelled at them in press conferences; he's good at that. And he could have hurt Disney as much if not more by keeping it on a political level, not bringing the powers of the State into it at all. A DeSantis-led Disney boycott campaign would have brought dividends with GOP voters and left Trump no avenue of attack. Now Trump has one: DeSantis will lose this! And he will.

we used to argue a lot about "natural born citizen", a lot of people are unhappy with the current legal definition, but it's the law until someone amends the constitution or imposes a new one. According to SCOTUS precedent, there are only 2 kinds of citizens - those who are citizens from the moment of the birth, and those who become citizens at some point after they were born. The first group are natural born citizens, the second group are naturalized citizens. (That is a Legal Definition, it is not a point of debate) There is NO third group of citizenship under current law; it simply does not exist, no matter how hard some people might wish that it did.

Trump seems determined to burn it all down if he doesn't win. He won't commit to supporting the parties candidate if it's not him, and he's weaponizing his supporters. His argument to elect him thus far is weak and boils down to the other guy is so bad. I'd like to hear from any candidate what they intend to do, as nauseum. What are their priorities? Joe I'll they get it done? And there needs to be a constant coordinated attack on Democrats. But Trump is preventing that and will continue to misdirect the focus. That doesn't feel like someone who is in it for "us". It feels like a lot of personal grudges and score settling. Nobody is going to vote for that, at least not enough to win. Trump casually know this and I'll bet it's partially why he's backing off the culture war stuff. Just a guess.

trump is doing exactly what he constantly bitched about during the 2016 primary when cruz et. al. refused to support him even after they all agreed to sign a pledge to support the winner. It is not a good look for trump IMO. In 2016 trump ran on a positive campaign and he is doing the opposite this time around.

I agree that the district court's judgment should be reversed. At a minimum, as the majority opinion holds, the National Firearms Act of 1934 admits of an interpretation that excludes a bump stock from the definition of a "part" of a "machinegun" under that statute. Indeed, this is the original interpretation that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) gave to the statute. See ATF Rule 2006-2 at 2; 27 C.F.R. §§ 478.11 (2014), 479.11 (2016).

You can't fight against the Woke if you're dead or sick. ** Every state health director, every university professor, every doctor who pushed it, every world leader who pushed it, Bill Gates, DOnald Trump, Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, all of them need trials for crimes against humanity.

I think Trump doesn't even make it on the ballot. Trump is just a side story and something for DeSantis people to get whipped up about. The difficult part for DeSantis people is if Trump is removed from the scene, it's all on you. Your guy has to win support let alone work within a hostile party apparatus if he is the real deal you claim he is.
But I can see already that the excuses are baked into the cake. It'll be Trumps fault if the scenario I described plays out, DeSantis is the nominee then goes down in flames in the general.

Pennsylvania got decimated at the polls in November because of that. John Fetterman even went into the nut house hospital because he mentally realized he had no business winning.

Inside the voting booth were no one judges you? That's were the truth is revealed. Any (R) politician who does not realize an abortion position that does not require an asterisk here or there is a fool and never going to see an (W) behind his name.
Pennsylvania got decimated at the polls in November because of that. John Fetterman even went into the nut house hospital because he mentally realized he had no business winning.

Indeed, this is the wrong hill for Trump to die on. And corporations should, at worst, stay out of politics, at best be pro-capitalist (but they like fascism and government subsidies).
I have thought for a long time that some monopolies and oligopolies need to be broken up. This confirms my belief.

Trump winning in 2016 was a one off.
It was Hillary, people hated her, including Democrats.
Trump also ran more of a Ross Perot independent type campaign. It was just enough to steal some blue collar types in the Rust Belt.
It’s a different Trump now, just a sad loser that wants to personalize everything. It’s not going to resonate.
I was somewhat open to running Trump again, but the midterms really just made it clear that Trumps brand has gone way down.

trump is doing exactly what he constantly bitched about during the 2016 primary when cruz et. al. refused to support him even after they all agreed to sign a pledge to support the winner. It is not a good look for trump IMO. In 2016 trump ran on a positive campaign and he is doing the opposite this time around.

As for the current crop of Republican presidential candidates I am waiting to see how they handle and respond to the left wing personal attacks, ginned up scandals, threats of investigations and so on that are most certain to come. Given what happened during the Trump years, fueled by the Obama's divisive and weaponized tribal politics, later perfected by HRC and now Biden, being able to effectively fight all this chaos is now equally important to having effective government policies. Who ever gets the nomination will be fighting a non stop left wing insurgency as much as normal politics.

Trump DOES NOT OWN $1-5M of InBev stock. He owns $1-5M of callable bonds. Which are not really going to be impact at all by this, and part of a massively diversified bond portfolio he's got.
He's got similar bonds with a bunch of other major companies.

I guess that's an attack line that's pretty shallow then. Does everyone in America who holds an index mutual fund also as dirty as Trump? I wonder if DeSantcus also has some shares with Vanguard.

FWIW, Scotus has never actually authoritatively defined what a natural born citizen is and do note that there is a restrictive limit in the 14th Amendment's wording requiring a . . . subject to the jurisdiction thereof. . . limitation on being a natural born citizen. In the debates in Congress and Wong Kim Ark, it was widely agreed that a child of a foreign diplomat is not subject to US laws and therefore not a natural born citizen regardless of where they were born because they are not subject to US jurisdiction.
The US v. Wong Kim Ark decision dealt with a child of two legal immigrants that gave birth in the US and then took Wong Kim back to China. He was barred from reentering the US and challenged it successfully and Scotus applied jus soli of what they believed was English common law via Blackstone's commentaries. But, English common law did make an exception between sojourners and those of the jus soli doctrine. For example travelers to other places, and diplomats, and at times citizens who owed allegiance to a foreign country.
So, what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means for illegal immigrants or both parents being foreign citizens has never been tested.

Until just recently he has been a champion for the right of transgenders to participate in biological only women events.

Being on the side of Anti-#WOKE is one thing. Imagining that fighting this battle in the government, through political campaigns is another. It is social conservatism all over again. Good fucking christ.

Rather, the big game remains between a fully mobilized, weaponized Deep State that seeks to eliminate the Number One Threat to it's existent (yes, that would Donald Trump) and the grassroots conservative movement that insists on the right to choose its own candidate.

379, Trump has always been GOP-E. In 2018 he didn't veto the Republican CR bill, even though it didn't fund the wall. He didn't go after Antifa or BLM, he hired Chris Wray, never fired Fauci, and gave us the mRNA vaccine (Warp SPeed). Oh, he also was the pied piper and led everyone to their arrest on 1/6.
DeSantis is no better, he's Paul Ryan's guy. You remember him, don't you?
Look up the word "Kayfabe" and Remember that Trump is a huge pro wrestling fan. And he sat front row at Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

Ace: "No, he's doing a lot more than that: He's making policy going forward. He is committing himself to this Corporations Are Our Fwenz worldview, which I thought MAGA was all about repudiating, not rehabilitating."
Fair point. His Golden Touch has embraced a Tin Ear.
Trump seems interested in grooming his ability to lose.

BREAKING: House OKs bill to raise debt limit by $1.5T, restrict spending as Republicans demand that Biden start fiscal talks - AP
When I get home in a couple hours, I'll demand the wife take a turn on this freshly fifty - out of town two weeks pecker.
She'll decline, of course. But I won't give in to her demand for new furniture as my opening bid. Hence, why I'm a better negotiator than the GOP.

380, Since I live here in the US, I'm chiefly concerned with my country, but that if I care about people dying means I'm a Democrat, I guess I'm a Democrat. Or you're just a selfish pos.
During Covid I didn't wear a mask, I didn't let myself get frightened, like you obviously did, and I didn't get a jab. Again, you can dismiss it all you want. But you bought into the panic and fear and you'll die from it. Life IS about choices, and you chose poorly.

The ARC of History!: "Remember the two pillars of Traditional Republicanism:
1) Unlimited immigration, and;
2) Lower corporate income taxes, and support corporations in everything they do."
Bingo. And don't forget to mention the war.

Then stop bitching. The world will be your shopping mall, if you are right. Drive through nice neighborhoods. Imagine all of them empty. The just pick the one you'll take.

391, Brother, you're bitching. All I did was talk about the big issue here. You replied to my comment. You're in the comment section. People comment in the comment section. Obviously you're upset. The vax fucks with your frontal lobe, by the way. So I get it. Watch those curves, and enjoy your beer.

Also, how does Nikki Weirdy clearly auditioning for Trump's VP slot make it official that the GOPe (which, yes, I too hate) is now Pro-Disney?
As much as I detest the GOPe, it seems a huge stretch to read Haley's actions here as being anything other than self-serving.

"We may differ in our reasoning as mine is that a great percentage of Trump supporters will stay home if he's not the nominee thus no chance for DeSantis."
Not just DeSantis. We will walk away from politics in general, a waste of time. You'll never see another Republican elected President in your lifetime.
Let it all burn

Walk away then. You go follow your weird cult of personality.
There's no point in you pretending you're a conservative if you're willing to abandon social-conservatism to vote for a candidate who is not only not on your side but refuses to even make the right noises because he's too busy pissing into the tent at anyone not massaging his ego or pretending that the most important issue in America today is helping him settle his personal vendetta.
That's the other side of the coin to the Bulwarks bullshit.
