I'm with Idol on this one.
So you are right about all of it....Quote:

The real question Cabby, of the two choices, are you a "Fox News" guy or "CNN" ;), it is amazing what that can reveal in a person:)
It is like trying to have a conversation with a guy that respects "RT" news, no matter what you say the Americans are always
wrong :slap:
Just my opinion.......
I'm with Idol on this, too. Trump is absolutely disgusting in *every* aspect. We need these politicians dragged into the streets...
https://i.imgur.com/pbqz39I.jpg
Ya, like your opinion matters....:sleep:
Edit:... Now debating on CNN.... All taxes in every level from Lower Class to Upper Class everyone's taxes is going down!!!!
But But But upper class is going down more;)
Trump is doing what he says he was going to do!!!! Middle Class Taxes are going down period :happy:
Here is a news station that we all know hates/bias to Republicans, and absolutely hates Trump, but had to admit taxes are going down...
Now you have a Democrat on CNN......
Trumps tax plan is an atrocity!!! Americans will save money on there taxes but put the Government in more debt!!!! That is terrible :huh:
And the Democrats have a much better solution :rolleyes:
Reality: All politicians are full of shit:yup:
I pride myself on being open to other viewpoints but no one seems able to put forward any good reason why the current administration is doing anything they're doing. I mean beyond the obvious not caring who they hurt in a quest to line their own pockets.
Please 'plain why put in charged of important agencies almost without exception people on record who are against said agencies and in most cases have absolutely no experience in those fields. When you're done there please 'plain why the need to destroy hundreds of thousands of acres of previously protected wilderness so a very very few cretins can further profit.
As for all politicians being full of shit, maybe but I still would choose to go with those less full of it or at minimum those not so full of it it gleefully streams from every orifice of their bodies.
What is even funnier on your first point LOL....
If you go back and remember Trump is not taking the Presidents salary right, now you take Cabbies point and instead of utilizing the luxuries that are automatically paid and up-kept no matter the use or not eg. Camp David, he likes spreading his name and brand by using his name or owned places and the large expense to the tax payers of the US... Better he takes the salary and actually pays for his Pistol Pete lifestyle :) I guarantee a huge savings there.....
Again Idol his logic is to stir up the pot and actually put people in there that do have common sense, Is There is a downfall to that??..
I don't know if i am right or wrong in this but here it goes... In every department of Government there is advisers and researchers and actual people that do know what they are doing right?? Now that person in charge you say has no experience has to make a decision on multiple suggestions from the lower advisers??
There i could say may lead to a problem:unsure:..
Now look at it this way.... What happen if you put someone in charge and he/she is a one minded person and doesn't really look at any other side??
I think if you have some knowledge in reality and not a hardliner in a position, you look at things differently....
Saying that.... What is right or wrong?? That depends i guess on your views, but when you take Trumps voters which is not even half the population, anything The Administration does is going to be wrong for the other side no matter what....
Politicians less full of it or kind of honest.. Once they are in office/elected When you find one let me know;)
And that goes for anywhere in a democratic society....
I get my news from the BBC and other mostly European news organizations. Contrary to what the people in the heartland may think, you actually do get a more balanced view from them than from most US sources. Certainly more balanced than from Fox or MSNBC.Quote:

Just because tax rates are going down dosn't mean taxes are going down. With the elimination of certain deductions (student interest, mortgages, state taxes, etc) and the individual mandate, most people who itemize will end up paying more.Quote:

Ya they did say all that stuff too:sadwalk: (But no mention of the big con job screwing even being true if that falls in someones situation that's all you:))Quote:

Nope. Children of US parents are US citizens regardless of what country they are born in. I'll go find a source if you wish to debate it. :snooty:Quote:

OK so I went the cheap route. Got a 3.5mm spliter for $4. I disconnected the two satellite speakers that went through the sub. So now I have two Audioengine P4 speakers with volume controlled by the amp, and a sub with its own volume control. A bit ghetto but better than spending $500 to sort it with a new amp and sub.Quote:

Looking at the internet comments after Trump's statement, I see that the Russian trolls are out in full force. At least I assume they are Russian trolls because I still like to delude myself that no one is that stupid.
Best president ever? He keeps his promises?:slap:

Citizen and US born Citizen are two different things.....
You or your parents will have to register and/or apply for a passport for you, but you don't have to apply for Citizenship per se. Citizenship you have, regardless of whether you have a passport or not (on the other hand, just because you have a passport does not make you a citizen).Quote:

If you were born to US parents abroad and they never got you a passport or registered you with the embassy while you were little, and now years later you wanted to establish your citizenship you would file an N-600 with USCIS, which is an application for a Certificate of Citizenship, but not an application for citizenship. That would be an N-400 (aka application for naturalization).
And the US doesn't give a hoot about what other citizenships you may have. I think it even says so in the US passport; the US *tolerates* dual citizenship but does not recognize it (meaning, if you are Canadian and US citizen, the moment you cross the border south you are seen as a US citizen only and would not have a legal right to legal assistance from the Canadian embassy/consulate if you got into trouble with the law).
All Makes sense to me:)Quote:

And yes Idol they had paid for health insurance so they didn't need to come back home and have the baby, funny he paid for insurance?? He is a cheap fuck:lol:
No. If push came to shove she may be facing penalties and interest for not filing a tax return (if she ever moved to the US and got under the jurisdiction of the IRS), but she would not lose her US citizenship unless she actively renounced it at a US consulate (oh yes, there's a fee for that, too).Quote:

This is pretty all inclusive. Tough to find a situation which isn't covered. Prob written to cover not just civilians but military personnel as well.Quote:
A person born abroad in wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother and a U.S. citizen father acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), if one of the parents has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth.
A person born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen father may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(c) or 301(g) of the INA, as made applicable by the “new” Section 309(a) of the INA if:
A blood relationship between the person and the father is established by clear and convincing evidence;
The father had the nationality of the United States at the time of the person’s birth;
The father (unless deceased) has agreed in writing to provide financial support for the person until the person reaches the age of 18 years, and
While the person is under the age of 18 years --
the person is legitimated under the law of his/her residence or domicile,
the father acknowledges paternity of the person in writing under oath, or
the paternity of the person is established by adjudication of a competent court.
That's fascinating, which I didn't know all of the details of before.
Basically, no blacks, then... :drummer:
It's impossible to do that. Galera, let me win, please. :D
Actually you barely scratched the surface of citizenship law. In order to confer citizenship to their child, the parent must also have lived a certain number of years in the US following their 14th birthday. So let's say that you were born in the US and your parents took you to China when you were 12. In that case you are a US citizen, but your children may not be. There is another process where they can derive their US citizenship from their grandparents, but let's say your parents were born outside the US and never got US citizenship and you were born in the US and then they took you out of the country before you were 14, then your children are pretty much SOL even though you have US citizenship. :)Quote:

Yeah, I'm gonna need some sources for that.
Oh, and this is a good read:
"The Naturalization Act of 1790 stated "children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens.", but "considered as" does not change the definition of the term or the fact of the physical circumstances of birth, nor can conferring a privilege by statute change an eligibility requirement in the Constitution."
and
"When this Act was reconsidered, Madison himself pointed out that Congress only had constitutional authority to naturalize aliens, not U.S. citizens, and reported a bill that amended the statute to eliminate the words “natural born" and simply state that “the children of citizens of the United States" born abroad “shall be considered as citizens." This indicates that Madison’s view was that children born abroad of U.S. citizens were naturally aliens, rather than natural born citizens, and thus could be naturalized by Congressional statute but should not be called “natural born." Congress adopted this amendment in the Naturalization Act of 1795."

Ahoisup, bumtards :ghey:
This is day 1 of a three day weekend ftw. Been migrating t'office from win7 to 10, it's been a complete shitshow. Loads of legacy apps not intended for 10 not working, drive mappings constantly falling off, remote workers not turning up to swap their kit out, outlook dropping out sporadically. It's a mess.
Got the new Call of Duty because I'm an idiot. Campaign took just a few hours, it was ok. Multiplayer is good this year, no more wall running or Kevin spaceys. Overall I'd give it 4 underage sexual harassments out of 5.
TFW you realize the $30 in bitcoins you paid for 90 days of news server access in 2010 would be worth $18.75 million right now. :pinch:
Is it really worth buying? I just cant cant trust fickle Steam reviews anymore. One of my fav games all time is the original CoD game set in WW2 and the United Offensive expansion pack. I played it almost daily for I don't know how many years. I really hoped they would include/remake some of the original MP maps as an ode to the original but haven't read anything about that yet so I'm assuming they didn't.Quote:

The best CoD or Medal of Honor ( I can't remember well enough to distinguish between them) was the one where you got pinned down in some remote shell of a farmhouse and had to try to prevent it from being overrun by somebody or other.
The current one does hold a candle to that but at least it forgoes the wank sci-fi angle they seem to like to go with.
