Worthless

"Conservatives" love to carp about how da gubmint don't do nuthin' worth doin'.

Is there anything worth less than a "president" gassing about how he's considering an attempt to repeal an amendment to the constitution that solidifies every American's right to be an American?

And how do the rubes think he'll accomplish this amazing feat? Does he simply wave his tiny hand, and 💥 poof ☁️ - it's done?


Raw Story:

President Donald Trump said that he’s looking at getting rid of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

In a discussion with reporters en route to Air Force One, Trump explained his plans.
“We’re looking at that very seriously, birthright citizenship,” Trump said, according to Foxs’ Chad Pergram.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the 14th Amendment reads.

To change an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, both houses of Congress must pass the law with two-thirds of a vote. Then, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve it.
How stupid do you have to be to keep going along with this shit?

In the 2016 campaign, Trump made more than a few ridiculous claims about how Hillary would get rid of the 2nd amendment.

He has people around him who tell him about how our government works. He can't possibly believe what he says - so I think he must believe that the rubes will believe him, or he wouldn't keep saying this kinda shit.

How desperate must his devotees be that they insist on being so willfully ignorant that they go on thinking POTUS has the power to change the US Constitution on a whim?

And why the fuck do they never stop to contemplate the negatives that could accrue to themselves because of any given president's whims?
