It means despite being related to a former President, if she had her way I couldn't vote as my paternal grandfather was born in Ireland.

Though I'm pretty sure I'm not the kind of person (demographically) she would have a problem with.

I've got a relative on the Mayflower, A Sioux great grandmother...and other grandmother was born in Ireland. I guess I can't vote!

The fire fighters on Hell Street, Chicago are struggling so much. They're filthy pieces of shit but we're going to make things great for them.

HOLY FUCK watching this shit on CNN.. I thought Corey was bad, BUT HOLY FUCK THIS GUY and pulling numbers out of his ass.. HOLY SHIT
 
I honestly think Hillary would win by a large margin with Americans that have had all four grandparents born in the US. Many older baby boomers probably had at least one foreign born grandparent. I would say many African Americans have had families here a long time. Younger populations would have a higher chance of having grandparents born in the US. It would probably mostly just knock out a large Hispanic demographic and maybe Asian.

I guess it would be close, but an interesting stat to look at if ever possible.
 
Wasn't there a study that illegal immigrants are less likely to commit crime? So even the argument I commonly hear (just now on CNN actually) that when trump said "They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists." he was talking specifically about the illegal immigrants and not mexicans so therefore it wasn't racist doesn't hold up because the illegal immigrants are statistically not commiting those things more than the average american. So the only reason you'd single them out on those things is racism
 
I recently learned on a trip to visit my grandmother who does genealogy that we can trace ourselves back to the Putnams who are best known for accusing people of being witches in Salem. Cool cool. I think I'll stick to referencing my mother's grandparents who fled Europe during WWI.
 
One of my grandmothers was born outside of this country, and I'm a white-ass white guy.

That's the case for a lot of people living here. It's so hilarious how the Republican party turns a blind eye to the fact that this nation was a mass of immigrants that stole the land through force from its natives. I always had a little joke in my head that racists have some hard-coded fear that the pendulum is going to swing back.

I got acid reflux, can't wait for this to be over

Shit, just mix some baking soda with water and maybe it'll relieve. Warm milk helps too.

Wonder if Ann Coulter would agree to not only require four grandparents, but also some relation to a Native American tribe? Hell, let's go all in!

And I just realized my wife has three grandparents born in Italy. Well, at least our son could be eligible to vote...In 16 years.
 
The dems possibly losing the Senate is threatening to ruin my fun watching the meltdowns tomorrow. So much for Hillary helping the down ticket. :p
 
Yeah I think I might have an ulcer...NSAID use definitely hasn't helped. One more sleep.

Please please let Ross beat burr.. All nc Republicans need to eat a dick and gtfo.

Yep, I want the clean sweep. I want all of the putrid moves they've made and all the effort to go to waste.
 
I miss Jeb.
Me, too. This election would have been 100x more tolerable had Trump never existed and he been the nominee. Not just in campaign sanity but knowing that Jeb! would actually be able to serve as President in case he won. Same thing I said with McCain and Romney. Against almost everything they stand for, but couldn't deny they were plenty qualified and had, you know, souls, and that I don't think he'd be someone who'd cut at the social safety net.
