@HoustonChron Also called fucking the taxpayers

"Houston has emerged as one of the most successful host cities in raising local revenue and planning for long-term impact," says Sports Business Journal. houstonchronicle.com/world-cup/arti…

@realMaalouf @RbBro42 Yes

The Trump administration is now revoking green cards and deporting relatives of Iranian regime officials who are living in America. Should foreigners who burn the American flag and express hatred for America also be deported?

@ailanyus Twice if I could

Be 100% honest: would you still have voted for President Trump if you knew he'd attack Iran?

@CalltoCitizenry @1Nicdar @Hey_Deb_21 They got the money literally from Obama in pallets of cash. The money was previously seized and in no longer on Iran’s possession or control. He literally handed the money to them.

@1Nicdar @Hey_Deb_21 Obama gave 1.7B to Iran. Their money US kept in 1979 after canceling weapons deal. Obama did not give 150B to Iran.

Saudi Prince MbS reveals that President Obama gave Iran $150B, and the IRGC didn’t even build a single street with that money. Instead, they used the money to make missiles and drones. And on top of that, they also used the funds Obama provided them to finance and arm terrorists like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons who was indoctrinated into jihadism. Obama is by far the worst man to ever set foot in the Oval Office. The neoliberals like Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc. who ran his administration did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and to use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much prosperity.

@troninvancouver @1Nicdar So? It was frozen for good reason. One of the good reasons is that they don’t use it in exactly the manner they did.

@1Nicdar The $150 Billion was Iran's own money — frozen Iranian assets held in foreign banks overseas.

@madevolution001 @jomo992 @SecRubio I’m not worried about them. That’s the point. They don’t matter in the discussion about what is appropriate in the best interests of the US. That is for us to decide

@jomo992 @SecRubio Funny how you’re worried about Nigerians but can’t defend your own argument

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

@madevolution001 @SecRubio Fucking Nigeria. Wasted my time responding

So political opinions are now grounds for deportation? Since when did holding a green card mean you have to pass a loyalty test to the government? If praising your home country’s regime is enough to get you detained, a lot of people in America better start watching what they say this sets a dangerous precedent

@madevolution001 @SecRubio Praise your own country all you want, but she didn’t just do this and you know that. She was outspoken AGAINST the US. She is here by invitation only and if you don’t support the country, but rather work against the best interest of our country then you need to be removed.

@diannew314159 @JoJoGenX @CBSSacramento We know what you are attempting to do. It was clearly transparent. Ignore the facts about taxes and regulations and try to shift the narrative and discussion. It was weak and low brow.

@JoJoGenX @CBSSacramento I'm just trying to highlight the fact that Republicans and the Libertarian tech billionaires are trying to take over California, by any means necessary, and it would be devastating. x.com/1zzyzyx1/statu…

For years, California leaders accused oil companies of price gouging at the pump, but a state investigation found no evidence of that. Instead, a CBS News California investigation found what's really driving the highest gas prices in the U.S. cbsloc.al/3PPOHwW

@NYTimesPR @sissenberg @nytimes who is the writer? I want to see a picture of this person

@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

BREAKING: Oracle, the software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, has filed thousands of petitions for H-1B visas in the past two fiscal years, even as it lays off thousands of American workers as part of a broader organizational shift, per NationalToday

@defense_civil25 unknown to US forces but you have video of it. ok

🚨Update: Iran retains a massive number of ballistic missiles and attack drones secure in hundreds of underground tunnels and bunkers. Most still unknown to US forces.

@GadSaad I’m not even rooting for them anymore. I hope the are overtaken completely. They, like NYC deserve it for their stupidity and hubris

Imagine past leaders of the British Empire and now listen to this guy.

@byelin why? why is it racist? because she's black as well as stupid? black people don't hold the patent on stupid, nor are they immune from it. I reject it completely.

I welcome the hate for this, but the whole "Ketanji Brown Jackson is stupid" discourse is itself stupid and also racist. There's literally no evidence from her opinions or questions that she's stupid. It's just people who themselves are ignorant about the law. Being in a one person dissent happens sometimes (see Alito in the WBC case). Or if you want some famous heroic examples, Justice Harlan in Plessy. Same was true for Thomas, who has faced this "DEI hire" stuff for 35 year. He has a judicial philsophy that I deeply disagree with, but he's brilliantly smart.

@RightsRule250 @WallStreetMav It isn’t the constitution. It is the unilateral interpretation of the constitution by the court, not necessarily the Constitution. Equal branches can differ. And when they do they must act in the best interest of the country regardless of the differences

@WallStreetMav SCOTUS will and must strike down the EO. Predicting 7-2 or 9-0 striking it down. If one doesn't like the Constitution, seek to amend it. EO's do not amend the Constitution. No Kings in America.

What is the solution if the US Supreme Court sides with the left and says children from illegals and tourists are automatic US citizens? Are we doomed to just sit here and watch the slow decline into the USA just becoming another 3rd world shithole? That seems to be the path and it is depressing to think about.

We have equal branches of government. The courts (one branch) made the exclusive proclamation that they have the final word. Branches can differ and when it is big enough of an issue the other branches have an obligation to ignore and override. Sorry this doesn’t fit into a neat little agreement box. Judicial branch only has unilateral authority because they said so.

The same duty judges have to support the Constitution is required of legislators, most executive officials, and state officials. The stronger duty to protect the Constitution is required of presidents. When justices are wrong, we must elect and appoint others who get it right. See links in reply.

Not according to the ACLU attorney arguing in this case. Her argument was that there are no other exceptions other than those already addressed by the court. This is a key element of her argument. Her argument is specific that Congress may NOT create new exceptions. This is going to be a significant hurdle to overcome for the court. I’m not saying they won’t rule in the favor or her argument, but that was the argument made.

@WallStreetMav Congress can enact legislagtion to end birthright citizenship for babies of tourists and illegal aliens... no other country does such a ridiculous thing

@mikepratt @AAGDhillon then why the chair?

@AAGDhillon You are an embarrassment. Grow up. You know he trod to influence the SC. You seem to have no problems when he calls the losers. You’re as bad as he is.

There’s literally a chair set up at SCOTUS for our presidents to sit in for oral argument. Your separation of powers nonsense is more imitation pearl-clutching hauteur.

@washingtonpost Oh, demand?
