BFTD Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Nobody should refer to him as "Losing Presidential Candidate Trump" for the rest of his life. It would actually cause him psychological pain. Did somebody log back on to their Banana account to change the thread title, or was this the work of a mod?  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Biden is around 2/1 at most bookies to say “Trump” in his speech.  After the news of Trump leaving a letter I’m pretty confident - he even mentioned Obama in his.I noticed that he didn't mention him, but clearly thanked all the other presidents who turned up - and Carter, who couldn't make it.The bookies always ken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Quick question. Looking on Wiki, Ted Cruz was born in Canada, how could he have ran against Trump in the 2016 run off if he wasn't born in the USA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the long form version of his mother's birth certificate been produced, and evidence where his Daddy was on November 22nd, 1963? Not that I distrust what you're saying, you understand, just that a lot of people are saying something a hell of a lot different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Interesting about Ted "please don't call me Rafael" Cruz not being born in the homeland. Looking forward to telling my son that he could be president some day. He absolutely won't, of course, because we're not rich, but the idea might give the kid a few minutes' hope before reality kicks the door down and shits on the rug again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, due to changes in the rules about this, it was necessary that Cruz’s parents were married at the time he was born (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law#Birth_abroad_to_one_United_States_citizen). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if Ted’s mom hadn’t resided in the U.S. before he was born, or if his parents hadn’t been married, then he wouldn’t qualify...there are various provisos everywhere in the citizenship laws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, my boy seems to be alright on all that. I'm willing to take offers for presidential pardons now, if anyone's interested. We'll start the auction at five green dots and go from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm looking forward to the day Trump is saying his classic lines and doing his dance moves outside Trump Towers but now living on the street, penniless, and ranting 'I used to live here, you know'.

It’s a great read; you don’t need to read every single word but it’s still great fun.  It shows how arrogant Giuliani is to think that there would not be a pushback to such outlandish and unsubstantiated claims.  Between this and his comments before the storming of the Capital Building I can see him spending a fair amount of time in court. I hope he has a good lawyer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
