"We?" Are you a member of the inquisition?

Yep. They arent doing this just for the hell of it. They are doing this because WE the voters are demanding it, so yeah, we are all a key part of this.

Herein lies the problem….”and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”

It's no problem at all. Dreamers can be prosecuted for crimes committed in this country and so they're subject to our jurisdiction. I'm guessing the "jurisdiction thereof" refers to the children of foreign diplomats born in the U.S. and live here under diplomatic immunity.

The intent of the 14th is clear…our founders aimed it at diplomats and slaves…The Constitution was written by the people for the people…Nobody sane believes the framers would have written ANYTHING intended to fuck over Americans and help Mexico’s people. Like Roe v. Wade, the 14th will eventually be challenged and all anchor babies will have their citizenships revoked. It’ll be a great day for America and democracy….you agree…right?

Trump’s Failure To Sign Ethics Pledge Is Holding Up Transition: Report

Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money

President-elect Donald J. Trump is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort, a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term.

Mr. Trump has so far declined to sign an agreement with the Biden administration that imposes strict limits on that fund-raising in exchange for up to $7.2 million in federal funds earmarked for the transition. By dodging the agreement, Mr. Trump can raise unlimited amounts of money from unknown donors to pay for the staff, travel and office space involved in preparing to take over the government.

Mr. Trump is the first president-elect to sidestep the restrictions, provoking alarm among ethics experts.

If you are a corporation wanting to avoid being hurt by tariffs what better way to do so than by contributing millions of dollars to the transition................IN SECRET.

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says.​

Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.

Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.

In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters.

As his team considers hundreds of potential appointees for key jobs, he’s so far declined to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation check for potential red flags and security threats to guard against espionage — instead relying on private campaign lawyers for some appointees and doing no vetting at all for others. Trump’s transition team is considering moving on his first day in office to give those appointees blanket security clearances, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations.

Trump already saving the taxpayers millions and he hasn’t been sworn in yet.

Nice job, Mr. President.

We already knows he has no ethics, why be surprised.

Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And unlike with campaign contributions, foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.

Hey, speaking of foreign nationals making illegal campaign contributions...

Foreign Agents Funnel Significant Donations to Democrats in Key Senate Races​

Gallego, despite his past criticism of lobbyist influence, has reportedly taken $31,000 from foreign agents since 2020. His donations include contributions from lobbyists representing Venezuela’s state-run oil company, which has been the subject of U.S. sanctions. Mike Smith and Israel Klein, two lobbyists supporting Gallego, have been linked to Venezuela, forwarding information to the State Department and meeting with high-ranking U.S. officials on behalf of the Venezuelan government. Despite receiving their support, Gallego has publicly condemned the Venezuelan regime’s human rights abuses, issuing press releases denouncing the country’s authoritarian practices.

In Maryland, Alsobrooks has also criticized special interest groups in her campaign while accepting a notable amount of foreign agent donations, totaling $62,500. Among her supporters is Empire Consulting Group, a lobbying firm representing Qatar, which contributed $12,600. Qatar has long provided financial support to Gaza, which has allegedly been diverted to Hamas, the group behind recent attacks in Israel. Alsobrooks, though supporting a two-state solution and humanitarian aid to Gaza, called for a ceasefire in the wake of the October 7 attacks, according to The Baltimore Banner.

...or is it okay when Democrats do it?

[berg80]

Hey, speaking of foreign nationals making illegal campaign contributions...

Maryland, traditionally a Democratic stronghold, has seen unexpected competitiveness due to the candidacy of popular Republican former Governor Larry Hogan. His Democratic opponent, Angela Alsobrooks, has garnered nearly double the financial support from foreign agents compared to Hogan.

The article says Hogan received financial support from foreign agents. Apparently, such info is available to the public. Are they illegal? Maybe you should look in to it.

BTW, what does it have to do with foreign nationals being able to contribute to the transition, in secret, because trump has refused to sign an ethics pledge.

 

[berg80]

Sweet! Trumps already saving tax payer money!

It's special how you celebrate the opportunity for corruption he has given himself when it comes to Crooked Donald.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has not yet submitted a legally required ethics pledge stating that he will avoid conflicts of interest and other ethical concerns while in office, raising concerns that his refusal to do so will hamper the smooth transition to power.

corrupt? how's it corrupt to have someone other then tax payers pay for office space during a transition?

yep, i know he hasn't, they have yet to come to an agreement with Xiden admin. I can understand why, they aren't trustworthy

I can't tell if you're being intentionally obtuse or your blind devotion prevents you from seeing the obvious. It's quaint how you characterize the ability of foreign nationals to funnel millions of dollars to trump's (a guy with a track record of criminality) transition in secret as "someone other then tax payers pay for office space."

If you heard anything about it at all you've likely forgotten about the inauguration slush fund.

New clues link $1 million Trump inauguration mystery money to secretive “dark money” network

New tax returns reveal dark money conduit paid $919,900 to mysterious LLC that made a $1 million donation to President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee.

Since he hasn't signed the ethics pledge, and money can be given in secret, how are we to know if millions of dollars will go in to trump's PAC, or his pocket, once the "office space" is paid for?

Do you see how not signing the ethics pledge can be construed as purposefully avoiding accountability for a reason? Reasons that go beyond trying to escape the normal vetting process applied to nominees and appointees?

If it was corrupt, Congress would of made a law against it.

In secret? Then how do you know it's happening? Oh wait, you don't, you simply are making shit up again. How in the world did the USA survive all those years before the ethics pledge was required? Which, mind you, this would be the first time it ever was.
