Due to truncation of the URLs?<\/p>\n<p>Trumps first few days have been excellent and a little shocking I thought. Shocking in a kick-ass way though. He exaggerates. But he gets shit done. I agree he is a despicable bad man.... aren't they all? Isn't that desirable?<\/p>\n<p>The brain of this modern world seems to have a severe right-hemisphere stroke<br \/>\nthat killed off the selfless, artistic, non-verbal, spatial synthetic skills<br \/>\nto focus solely on left-hemisphere stuff: symbolic, selfish, and logical. I'm<br \/>\nglad Trump got in. So important to come clean about JFK. And UFOs. Clean<br \/>\nenergy technology from another planet exists but is held back stuck in the<br \/>\nsecrecy of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. There is no<br \/>\nplace for secrecy in a democracy, this is why Trump is good. Coral Reefs love<br \/>\nwarm clear water. Warm water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Surely Not More Fraudulent Than The Average Real Estate Investing<br \/>\nCourse?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding alleged fraud of the Trump University \/ real estate workshop<br \/>\nlawsuit; if this really was fraud shouldn't this be a criminal<br \/>\ninvestigation?<strong><br \/>\nAlso, who pays $35k to learn property investing? Greedy people<br \/>\nprobably.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure he should not have included the word University his main fault, he says<br \/>\nhe would have won the case if at trial; but there was no criminal fraud case?<br \/>\nThey are due to get 90% of their fees back pretty soon I hear.<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking to congratulate Trump on his win and 77 million votes, but<br \/>\nnever got around to it. Impressive first day in office. Was thinking to ask<br \/>\nwhy people so upset about it? Surely Bidden is more upsetting to watch?<\/p>\n<p>I used to be a radical environmentalist: thinking maybe humans are a pest on<br \/>\nthe Earth idling our engines in traffic like that. So I did my part:<br \/>\nsacrificing my own bloodline not to have children to save the planet by using<br \/>\ncontraception etc. Then I hear we need more babies? OK. Skills shortage? OK.<\/p>\n<p>Up until I realised the Una-bomber was also a radical environmentalist. He<br \/>\nwanted to bomb the universities to slow down or \"dumb down\" the human race in<br \/>\norder to reduce the eco-impact of homo sapiens. He was caught due to his long<br \/>\nwinded essays. He was a lecturer \/ professor. He was found due to his writing<br \/>\nstyle analysis software used by university ultimately turned on his own<br \/>\nwritings for pattern recognition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BACK TO TRUMP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will admit I was not impressed to see \"children in cages\" at the border<br \/>\nback in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>But that was an unintended consequence from a partial implementation \/<br \/>\ncompromise deal gone bad. Imagine if infinite amounts of communists were<br \/>\npermitted to enter NZ? Something had to be done. It is bad enough already: US<br \/>\ncomputer security agencies have informed out govt that departments such as The<br \/>\nTreasury and Parliamentary Services were infiltrated with data stealers from<br \/>\nconfuscious institutes spyware; or take the example of Jian Yang the national<br \/>\n<em><strong>party list<\/strong><\/em> member from the CCP. But we can't just<br \/>\nrock over to China and start researching Tienanmen Square Massacre<br \/>\ndocumentaries while pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is right to clamp down, he will likely stop <strong>Jus soli<\/strong>,<br \/>\nbut he probably can't stop <strong>Lex soli<\/strong>. Jus Soli meaning \"right<br \/>\nof soil\" is uncontrolled birthright citizenship, part of English common law<br \/>\nbut not Europe. Lex Soli means the \"law of the right of soil\" and is **the<br \/>\nmost common means** of acquiring citizenship around the world, but it is<br \/>\nalways regulated. No other countries do this. None outside the Americas, Chad,<br \/>\nLesotho, Pakistan up until 2024, Fiji and Tuvalu; unconditionally! The US law<br \/>\nwas a prerequisite to the abolishment of slavery in the 19th century. It's<br \/>\nmoot debate anyhow as the U.S. Supreme Court has never specifically ruled on<br \/>\nwhether the children of people in the country illegally would qualify for<br \/>\nbirthright citizenship (why? how?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only 5% are criminals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During Biden's idiocracy, approximately 8 million undocumented illegal<br \/>\ncrossed the border into USA, lots of adult males, 435,719 people with criminal<br \/>\nrecords, and often many lone operative desperadoes as it's not really a good<br \/>\nroute for a family. Actually mostly 617,770 Mexicans, 250,000 Venezuelans,<br \/>\n200,000 Guatemalans<br \/>\n<em><strong>and thirty six thousand Chinese according to the BBC.<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is an animated video guide produced by CCP and they have camps for their<br \/>\nbrethren in the army. Some plan to join the army, learn weapons, then go<br \/>\nhome.<a id=\"communists\"><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uaavtBNbuVY?si=SEaBoxikVl0GkIYr\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It won't affect much of anything since countries including USA have long ago<br \/>\nacceded to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and we are<br \/>\nall obligated to grant nationality to people born in their territory who would<br \/>\notherwise become stateless persons. The American Convention on Human Rights<br \/>\nsimilarly provides that \"Every person has the right to the nationality of the<br \/>\nstate in whose territory he was born if he does not have the right to any<br \/>\nother nationality.\"<\/p>\n<p>Trumps order should gracefully activate after Feb. 19 to children born under<br \/>\nthose circumstances and directs agencies against issuing documents recognizing<br \/>\ncitizenship and bars them from accepting any governmental documents purporting<br \/>\nto recognize citizenship for births in those cases.<\/p>\n<p>Of the western nations, only Canada and USA have birthright laws. It's an<br \/>\nAmerican thing it seems. I put it down to the presence of porous land borders.<br \/>\nIreland ditched its birthright citizenship law in 2005, and France jettisoned<br \/>\nits own in 1993. Since WW2 and jet-flights replaced travel by boat here, NZ<br \/>\nnever really has boat people arriving; we take small amounts of refugees and<br \/>\nasylum seekers, but even they all come via airplane, and customs does not<br \/>\nallow heavily pregnant women to travel here without visas. PS I always<br \/>\nsupported Algerian parliament member Ahmed Zouie and he was released 1 week<br \/>\nafter my bands (SJD and 'one million dollars') performed his benefit concert<br \/>\nat the Kings Arms.<\/p>\n<p>A president need not be likable; but he does need to have strong values, be<br \/>\naction oriented rather than identity focused, and able to walk, talk, and<br \/>\nanswer questions unlike that other senile fool (Biden) and the laughing<br \/>\nprosecutor-lady. I don't know about the IQ scores of Trump supporters, but<br \/>\nthey do seem to be more attractive and reasonable than many of the vicious<br \/>\ndemocrat cats.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Trump can be an awful muff-gripper, but if a president or King can't<br \/>\nbreak an egg to make an omelette who will?<\/p>\n<p>Also, all those links seem to be fake news:<br \/>\n[1] USA Today - 404 page not found. scamming poor people = the world of<br \/>\nbusiness?<br \/>\n[2] Daily Beats - 404 page not found.\"a man who had made it his business<br \/>\npractice to stiff his creditors\" - hey I said I don't like the guy, he ticks<br \/>\nall those rich pricks boxes, and he should pay his creditors - Bad Trump!

Did you ever see an obese person win a<br \/>\ngold medal?<br \/>\nI agree that Trump seems fucked in regards \"Central Park Five\", but didn't he<br \/>\nsay \"if they did it, they should still be in prison\" ? Maybe he not get the<br \/>\nmemo they were innocent.<br \/>\nI agree it's a bit spooky him asking his supporters to police his events,<br \/>\nthat is dark. So be it.<br \/>\nHe didn't fail to condemn Neo-Nazi's that was taken out of context. Re-watch<br \/>\nthe speech in context. He said \"blah blah neo nazis. awful people.\" or<br \/>\nsimilar. None-issue.<br \/>\nThe only person \"unable to talk to foreign dignitaries\" is Bidden and<br \/>\nLaughaloud Harris. Both Ukraine and October 7 would never have happened under Trump.<br \/>\nProbably, the Palisades Wildfires in LA might not have happened either.<br \/>\nThe FBI and CIA should be shutdown. Good on trump for billing them and<br \/>\nreleasing JFK, RFK, MLK files. Bad on FBI for so many murders.<br \/>\nI never saw him \"remove expertise from all layers of government\" which<br \/>\nexpertise was that?<\/p>\n<p>Agreed he should be more kind to Puerto Rico, you have good point<br \/>\nthere.<br \/>\nI think you meant Australia instead of NZ? When did he \"start fights with<br \/>\nevery country from Canada to New Zealand\"? Australian wine got next to banned<br \/>\nfrom import to China, but our puppet leader Jacinda was politically correct<br \/>\nand maintained our export routes to China didn't she? I didn't like it when<br \/>\nshe did that, but I get it, and am cool with it, cos dolla dolla bill y'all.<br \/>\nChina is our biggest single market AFAIK.<br \/>\nThe only \"corruption\" I witnessed was 4 years of unacceptable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funk.co.nz\/auckland-music-update\/stop-censorshit-facebook\/\">censorshit<\/a> in<br \/>\nviolation of 1st amendment, weaponisation of the justice system all the time,<br \/>\nsuppression of Bernie Sanders (what the absolute?!), suppression of RFK, Joe<br \/>\nRogan, and I guess Alex Jones; Deletion of \"Parler\" app, a top-10 social<br \/>\nnetworking social networking app stores by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon<br \/>\nsimultaneously.
