The hard right people all rail about the "legions" of browns sneaking across the border to have children who are automatically citizens...while looking the other way for the whites. Even if Baron had been born outside the US, he’d still be a citizen, because his father is (benefit of the doubt that Donald is Baron’s natural father). But as you say, different rules for the Browns. Boru

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I've known people who could rattle off the names of every Premier League player from its inception to the present day, along with records of those teams and details of the players personal lives, but couldn't pour piss out of a boot with directions stamped on the heel.
