The elasticity, shall we say, of liberal discourse continues to fascinate me.
Here we learn in a viral-among-liberal tweet that naturalized US citizens who came to the US as immigrants aren't *real American citizens*, just like half- of fake-citizens:
Here's it's stated even more explicitly. Immigrants to the US who become naturalized citizens don't have the same rights and prerogatives are *real citizens*, i.e., those born on Sacred US Soil. I think this would be unacceptable in other contexts:
I mean, if you're really that upset about the sacred Rose Garden, and you're not content with the fact that it can, you know, grow back, you can find a way to express that without degrading immigrants who are naturalized citizens.
On a related note: here's a viral-among-liberal video in which a #KHive male tells @rosemcgowan to "shut her fucking mouth" while repeatedly calling her a "bitch."
I'm sure there's an intersectional theory why this isn't misogynistic but seems elusive:
And just in case you're wondering, the reason it's apparently acceptable to repeatedly, with a very aggressive tone, call @rosemcgowan a "bitch" while telling her to shut her fucking mouth is she posted several tweets yesterday critical of Biden, the DNC and @Alyssa_Milano.
The tweet thread in which @kurteichenwald repeatedly called Melania Trump a "foreigner" and said she's not a real citizen -- because she's an immigrant to the US and a naturalized citizen, rather than one born on US soil -- has 8k re-tweets and 29k likes.
This is the #KHive -- as anyone targeted by it will tell you -- and it's odd how all the journalists so very upset by "Bernie Bros" don't ever mention it or call on Kamala Harris to address and renounce it:
Deleted the tweet about the #KHive founder who called "AOC an "asshole" for "attacking" her own party. It was unclear whether her tweet saying she's sick of "foreigners" attacking Dems was about AOC or AOC's defender. But the "asshole" label for AOC was clear:

UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.
US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.
Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.
They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.
How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!
Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
The 2.2 million Gazans have lived in a literal, not a metaphorical, prison for 2 decades.
In 2002, Israel destroyed its airport. Israel kills them if they try to leave by sea. The borders are shut - by Israel and the US-supported Egyptian dictator.
Who would tolerate this?
Gazan children are dying of starvation: the single worst and most painful way to die. There is no doubt about this.
Mass famine is inevitable. Blaming Hamas - as if they now govern Gaza - is an insult to your intelligence.
Israel explicitly vowed to block food from entering.
Imagine how dumb Victoria Nuland thinks everyone is that she feels comfortable saying with a straight face: "We will do what we have always done, which is defend democracy & freedom around the world..."
As fraudulent as the Iraq War was, more lies were told in Feb. 2022.
Through 2022, these people assured us that the Russian economy was near collapse, the ruble would be dust, Russia was on the brink of running out of bullets, the world united against them.
It's hard to overstate how much the Russian economy is thriving:
As just one example: US/EU sanctions have been such a gigantic failure that even Morning Joe this week devoted 6 straight minutes -- purely using economic data -- to lamenting how vibrant Russia's economy is and how much stronger they are militarily:
