Timid said Clayton Kershaw “should Mac Miller himself” because the dodgers lost. They need to stop giving that dude chances

Yeah, he was all over with that in the MLB thread. His excuse was that he was drunk the whole time he’s posting and proceeded to keep bringing up how racist Boston is

Lots of early voting going on around Atlanta. In a line about an hour long right now and saw a big line at another location earlier this morning. Bodes well for us blues.

Timid needs to get to a meeting asap. He spirals like this sometimes and I fear for his sobriety.

He was ghost when all kinds of vile **** was going down, now he wants to stir the pot.

The vast majority of countries do not allow birthright citizenship. The key issue is the meaning of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

Surely you realize that article is advancing an argument on an open question. It is interesting from a legal perspective. The key issue, as highlighted by the article you posted, is the definition of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
