I thought it was a joke about people leaving voluntarily after he won the election.
The Trump Presidency | Biden Inaugurated

To be honest, I actually expect things like this now. I expect him to have said the opposite before and to totally contradict himself. He's such a fecking moron. Probably one of the dumbest (yet luckiest) people on the planet.
Think it's fake, which is stupid. There's enough stupidity coming from this guy where you don't have to invent stuff...
Exactly, although he could have deleted it. But! If it is fake, then it's stupid because it will only take credibility away from the real tweets he or his team delete when they realise he's saying something that contradicts a previous view. Don't give the idiot anymore power than he already has.
What credibility? Do people STILL think what he says matters?
the 62mil who voted for him simply do not care what he says or does. In 4 years time he could contradict EVERYTHING he said leading up to this election and they wouldn't care.
It took me a long time to come to terms with this - but, it's a fact.
Yea I tend to agree, the lengths people go to explain away or justify his nonsense is proof enough they don't particularly care what he actually says. It's about defending their leader/side, no matter what they are defending.
Of course it doesn't matter what he says to a certain extent, and to a large percentage of his supporters. But there is no need to help aid his cause anymore than it has already been. Not all of his supporters are blind and stupid and the more he backtracks on his original plans, the selling points he won the election with, the more people he will upset.
Those that backed him through gritted teeth will be the first to leave, then the women who thought he would change, followed by The ones who just voted against Hillary, then smarter ones who are Republican at heart and wanted change will go too, then the poor workers he doesn't give back jobs to, then finally all he will be left with is the deluded angry hate filled mob who hang off his every word. The tide will turn, it's just a matter of how quickly and when and then how much, but "I told you so" isn't the way and not what these people will want to hear, they will want a strong leader who again connects with them and that they can believe in. The Dems have 4 years to sort that out and in the meantime, everyone should be doing their utmost to call the President elect out on everything he does or says wrong. The press should continue to treat him like they are, as its clearly working, he hates it, and the more negative they go, the more he fecks up and the more followers he loses the quicker this sham will come to an end.
If he starts doing his rallies again because he just loves the adulation and buzz of smoke being blown up his arse, watch how quickly that stops as soon as the crowds turn on him for going back on promises like the wall and deporting millions, or locking Hillary up, or promising impossible job numbers. Just you watch, I bet he turns on them and starts insulting them and as soon as he does that, well then his supporters will leave him in droves.

Another of the reasons I don't understand why so many are confident his voters will turn out on him when he doesn't deliver what they expect. He'll easily keep them on his side by doing just what he has done until now. Saying bullshit.
Trop v. Dulles, 356 U.S. 86 (1958), was a federal case in the United States in which the Supreme Court ruled, 5–4, that it was unconstitutional for the governmentto revoke the citizenship of a U.S. citizen as a punishment.
So it used to be.
Further, it was a very narrow decision by a very liberal court.
Edit: Worth noting that a few years later some of the judges in the majority here did vote to repeal the death penalty in Furman v Georgia.

Very interesting case. As the dissenting judge states, is that a punishment worse than death. On the flip side is desertion worse than murder(s)? Personally I think it's unconstitutional.
This is indeed one of the dangers of all "populist" movements. If one doesnt do what you want, maybe you'll go for something more radical. And this is relevant for both left and right wing movements, I think.

In India Art 19a is "No person may be deprived of life or liberty except according to a procedure established by law" which provides the grounds for the death penalty, and its repeal by a legislature but not necessarily courts. I'm not an expert but I don't think there's anything about depriving someone of citizenship.
Besides in this case, SCOTUS has ruled that flag-burning is protected free speech, so any punishment let alone loss of citizenship is illegal.
Wasn't one of her fathers ships found to have hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine aboard?
Everything is for sale, it's like a Presidential Car boot sale.
90 pounds of cocaine not sure of the value of that.
Ship is pretty huge.
Any crew arrested in connection?
FML!Just seen his tweet about flag burning. As much as I try and understand other people's perspective or views, I'm struggling with this one. His term will be interesting that's for sure, just glad I'm looking in from the outside.
Wonder how much the half hour with Melania will be, to rich for my blood I'm guessing.
Doubt it. Mitch probably lost a few dollars on that one though.
Don't know much about him to be honest.
Drumpf and Romney having dinner (along with Priebus) this evening. Sounds like he may go with Mitt, which should enrage his Maga muppets.
Selling out already.
Making comments about how the job is 'bigger than he thought.'
By christ just when you thought you couldn't have any less faith in this absolute moron he takes it to the next level.

Price looks like the only Republican who had an idea about what will replace Obamacare.
They sound extreme and everything the Dems will hate.
Yet. Trump is not one to abdicate. He dictates. So what he will direct what he wants.
Same thing with Mitt, if he does go with him.
Though he may well surprise everyone with SoS.
The 1st Amendment is un-American, don't cha know?!
Do we know if he's started the daily briefings yet?
I've noticed the local religious radio stations tend to have numerous political segments. I've heard plenty of tripe spouted from these stations when catching a few minutes. This is the kind of nonsense I've heard from the likes of Bryan Fischer et al.

Speaking with his son Walker and AFA’s executive vice president Ed Vitagliano, Wildmon asserted that had Clinton won the presidential election, “the attacks on the Christian community would have gotten more intense.” Vitagliano agreed, saying that “President Hillary Clinton would have fully weaponized the federal government to come after Christians.”
“The secular progressive movement,” Wildmon said, “they have a contempt for especially conservative Christians and I think with the election of Donald Trump, we avoided catastrophe … I think that the secular progressive movement and the power of the federal government, especially the executive branch, was ready to really penalize and criminalize, who knows, Christianity in America, and we avoided that.”

And an ugly turtle at that.
Makes sense that Elaine Lan Chao is Sec of Transport -- she has the connections in view of her family fortunes.
Its the self-enrichment cabinet.
btw Lan Chao in a particular chinese dialect means cock!
