@DIREWOLF817 @Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar It doesn’t matter if everyone he ever talked to is dead. The regime is still in place.

@FlattsBridge @Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar Yeah that one is dead too they are just not admitting it and because he likely died in Russia it will be a long time before it leaks out.

TWO STATEMENTS BY TRUMP 7 MINUTES APART:
Trump at 9:00: "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that"
Trump at 9:07: "Regime change is what we want. It is needed"
These statements were made 7 minutes apart in the same speech

And on Monday morning, an hour before the markets open, Trump will announce that Iran has agreed to a deal.
Later in the day, Iran will say they have no idea what he is talking about and they will launch more missiles.

Trump says Iran has 48 hours to make deal or US will unleash 'Hell'

@ianbremmer Also, taking the island oil terminal is not the same as taking the oil. The oil comes from other places.
English
“taking the oil” is a coherent response. but it’s unacceptable as justification for war—this is not a war goal americans would support.
English
if the united states has
1) already destroyed iran’s military capabilities
2) has the ability to hit iran at any point if they try to gain access to their enriched uranium and
3) isn’t interested in (or has already achieved) regime change
all of which president trump has said repeatedly
what is the point of continuing the war?
how can it be justified to the american people, never mind the rest of the world?

@Nwotnot @ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar I love “regime change” when the guy in power has the same name as the last guy in power.

@mattyglesias It’s too hot in much of the south to walk everywhere.

What’s perverse about America is that we have the most walkable built environment mostly in the places with the worst weather.
Boston MSA leads in walking commute mode share, imagine if they had San Diego’s weather.
Benjamin NetanYolo@NetanYolo
I would guess 75% of this country deals with either freezing winters or 105+ degree summers. Shut the fuck up already about “walkability”.

@ShaykhSulaiman @TheProleStar Why lie?
From the speech:
“Regime change was not our goal. We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ death. They're all dead. The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.”
Taqiyya?

@TerribleMaps I’m more worried that Africa has flipped over.

Early reports from Iranian media suggesting US pilot in custody.
Would take this with a large grain of salt, and hope it’s not the case.
As it would be a significant escalation.

@adamscochran The thing with plane crashes is that there is wreckage - without wreckage there isn’t a crash.
English
Based on US actions, it is clearly confirmed that Iran did down something (likely an F-15E) that the US has so far not acknowledged.
If the US denies this craft having been shot down, then it’s reasonable to assume that the denial earlier this month of another US shootdown in Iran was also accurate and covered up.
It’s becoming abundantly clear the American people are not getting the full story of how many casualties the US is taking in this war.
The people deserve better.
Our troops deserve better.

@StatisticUrban Since WW2, British culture has been an offshoot of American culture.

Illegals clearly want to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Most of them want to live here. Birth tourists, not so much. There should be ways to make that distinction in the law. SCOTUS saying there aren't is how you get birthright citizenship tossed completely.
Shipwreckedcrew@shipwreckedcrew
If Roberts wants to get to 9-0, and he might on this issue, he'll assign the opinion to himself and write a narrow decision based on the statute and nothing more. He might get all the conservatives to join him. The 3 liberals will concur in the judgment by write an opinion based on the 14th Amendment. BUT that WILL NOT be the Opinion of the Court, and it leaves room for the issue to be further legislated where a compromise might be possible -- something that recognizes Alito's concern about differentiating between the children of someone illegally in the US for 20 years by having an intent to remain permanently -- "domiciled" -- and birther tourism or sojourner births.

@FlattsBridge @neoavatara @varadmehta Ambassadors
Ministers
Charges d’affaires
Counselors
Secretaries and attaches of embassies and legations
Members of the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities
These are whose kids aren't citizens....I'm not sure how high up counselors and attaches are

@SenLambert_IN @neoavatara @varadmehta You can’t arrest foreign diplomats. Are you saying we wouldn’t be able to arrest tourists?
English
@FlattsBridge @neoavatara @varadmehta Foreign consulate employees aren't....don't see why you can't put short term visitors in the same boat
English
@neoavatara @varadmehta Seems unconstitutional. Even tourists are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
English
Honestly, as far as tourist visa/anchor babies, not sure why we can't pass a law saying that these people need to sign an affidavit before entering the country that they are NOT planning domicile, do not claim to be under the jurisdiction of the US for citizenship case, and therefor, any children they have here are under the jurisdiction of their home countries.
Why couldn't we make that legal?

@ASFleischman @JDMikeJ Illegal immigrants have the right to be here? Our immigration laws mean nothing?
That’s very dumb.
English
Mike Lee vigorously argues that it's illegal to deport immigrants because they're not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
You never address the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” It’s amazing what you can declare “clear” in the Constitution when you omit language you don’t like
English
@BasedMikeLee "Unlike legal immigrants, illegal immigrants have diplomatic immunity"
Are you stupid
or are you just hoping all your supporters are?
English
You never address the words “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”
It’s amazing what you can declare “clear” in the Constitution when you omit language you don’t like
Senator Tim Kaine@SenTimKaine
Our Constitution is clear—no matter who your parents are or where they are from, if you are born here, you are an American. Citing white supremacists in an effort to overturn birthright citizenship tells you everything you need to know. I hope SCOTUS will reject this bid.

@charlescwcooke Maybe the poster is saying that to Comey, rather than the other way around?

Just a bizarre accusation to level at Barrett.

@evan_van_ness @OKnox The amazing thing about the trip was that Yeltsin picked a store at random without telling anyone beforehand because he wanted to see the real deal - not some fake propaganda version of a store. It was average in all respects. And it blew him away.
English
@FlattsBridge @OKnox yeah that's wrong. Randall's in Clearlake in 89 was not "modest"
English
Whenever I doubt that a powerful leader might be getting absolutely crappy briefings, I think of Yeltsin's 1989 visit to a modest American supermarket and how it apparently rocked him to his core.
