Unless it's Goku and Vegeta. They are literally the only acceptable anime names.

I don't think it would fit on most most legal forms of ID and a lot of multi-word names tend to get compressed into a single word. It would end up looking like Killsenemyfrombehind and is twenty characters long. Though there is a teacher there whose last name is Comes at Night. I wonder what that looks like on his driver's license.

Speaking of stupid names, "Barron Trump" appears to be named after his dad's imaginary PR person.

That’s been known for at least two years now, maybe more. Donald is, surprise, not good at naming things.

For example, the namesakes of all of his kids are:

Don Jr - Himself
Ivanka - His favourite ex-wife
Eric - (we don’t talk about Eric, okay)
Tiffany - His favourite jewelry store
Barron - His favourite PR sock puppet persona

Even when it comes to giving his kids names, Donald Trump was lazy and just sprang for the last thought that was in his head at the time he was asked for a name.

He's been doing this for a while.

That memo is not classified and as I understand any congressman could read it into the record any time they want.

edit:

And this would get lost in the other threads but something I don't understand about DACA is that doesn't the constitution say that if you're born in the U.S. you are a citizen? How is this negotiable?

I thought Nunes' memo was highly classified?

I view it as a honeypot scam. GOP goes "RAH RAH RELEASE MEMOS FBI SUCKS" in conjunction with russiabots et al, knowing it's bullshit that'll wither under the lightest scrutiny. Dems get tired of seeing the IC get wrongly maligned by bullshit, actually release/leak it to prove how bullshit it is. And then GOP can go on about leaking dems, try to play politics there. And if no Dems release it, well it's still a fine rallying point to muddy the waters.

RE: DACA - the whole point is that dreamers were NOT born in the USA, they were brought over while very young and effectively only have ever had the US as a home. They are as American as anyone else, just not by birth, which is why it's so political unpopular to kill DACA.

As to my other point, the constitution is pretty clear that if you are born on US soil, you are a citizen. Period.

I think Democrats overestimate how many people know what the gently caress DACA is. I've heard people who think it means open borders, I've heard people who thought that people brought to the USA as minors already have the right to apply for citizenship, should they so choose.
