So a Y'all Qaeda acquittal and the case against Christie's aides may be falling apart. Sounds like a pretty good news day for the Trumpistas and the future of the Republican Party.

Any other tidbits I might have missed in the past 800 posts?

The Christie case is at least falling apart in a way that is most likely to take down Christie.

Tammy is amazing and I think she would fix the drat VA once and for all. It's time we elected a modern veteran into the white house. Like my good friend Smedley said, war is a racket.

Yeah. I doubt anyone is going to jail or anything over Bridgegate, but ruining Christie's career would be a win in my book.

Hell, Trump basically already sunk it, hasn't he?

Case adjourned before closing arguments today following a long 45 minute legal argument in a closed-door conference.. The aides have also been reported as looking much more at ease in recent days.

Everyone knows r/the_donald, possibly the worst site on Reddit (and thus the internet), engages in botting and vote manipulation to get featured on one of the site's main pages (r/all). Usually you see just a few r/the_donald posts on every page of r/all, but someone must have screwed up the settings on their botnet, cause now literally every post on every page is r/the_donald. Maybe this will lead to the site's admins reprimanding the site for manipulation, and since so many news sites steal stories from Reddit now, it might get some play on more mainstream media sites about how fake pro-Trump traffic online is.

This is the site who's former CEO just said the problem with r/jailbait was that they only had one moderator willing to look at the images to make sure they were of legal age.
They won't do poo poo about the content, only the gaming of votes.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, Tammy Duckworth is gonna be president in 2024. She's too good a story to not be.

Although there'll probably be a shitload of complaining about natural born citizen, since she was born in Thailand to a US citizen dad.

To be honest, we should probably start to build momentum to amend the constitution to ditch the natural-born citizen requirement soon anyway, because that poo poo is remarkably dumb.

Pretty sure she's still considered a natural-born citizen because she was born a citizen as opposed to becoming a citizen through immigration.

The idea of 4 years of Diamond Joe's hi-jinks around the world makes this an okay day.

In Arizona news, apparently Trump Jr. had made an appointment to call in to a local radio station for an interview. They'd been promoting it all day.
Trump Jr. never called in.

So instead they had callers call in and tell stories about how they got stood up, or "Trump Juniored" on dates.

I don't think that there is anything that specifically bars representatives from being citizens of another country. A quick google search just turned up a bunch of bullshit speculating about congressmen with dual israeli citizenship which I would be unable to read without choking on salt.

It totally wasn't but modern jurisprudence and the current interpretation of "natural born citizen" would preclude dual citizens.

There was some related discussion earlier in the thread, the key issue is that citizenship in other countries fall under their sovereign discretion. I can yell "I renounce my Indonesian* citizenship" in washington dc all I want but if the Indonesian government wants to consider me a citizen I can't stop them.
