Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta and he ran for US President in 2016.

I clearly remember Trump insulting Ted’s wife on the debate stage and then Ted tacitly agreeing and curling into a ball. Maybe Trump doesn’t remember because his memory is not so good.

Anyways, Elon is President now because Rupert and Putin installed him.

On a more serious note: The constitution requires you to be born a US citizen to be President which Ted Cruz was, but Musk was not

Shame that president-elect musk wants to try to break that

I want to see the extra long form birth certificate.

Either way, Ted was born in Calgary, Alberta.; and Trump is the one who’s wrong.

You can be born elsewhere and be a US citizen, at a minimum if your parents are Americans and registered you at the Embassy.

Sure, but tell it to Trump (regarding Obama).

I wanna say it gets really tough, because "naturally born US citizen" is not further defined, as such, is inherently up to interpretation.

So we don't know, unless they try.

Unless something drastic happens, for the next twenty to thirty years of the Supreme Court, I think it depends whether the candidate is a Republican or not.

Call him by his name assigned at birth, Rafael 🥹

Now now. Canada has already offered it's sincere apologies for Ted Cruz. No need to run salt in the wound and remind us of...our....excretions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, but now you're sending Jordon Peterson. Canada, I thought we were your friends?

[–] garbagebagel 3 points 3 weeks ago

Y'all we just birth them, they're getting their whackjob ideas from the more dominant culture so you can take them right back.

Ugh. Well thanks for those neuropeptides. Now I need another a stiff drink and an edible to cope with family AND national shame.

Maybe it's high time we draw up a strategic dumbass limitation treaty between our great nations.

You rub salt in the wounds. You run crying to mom.

Calgary, Alberta is the greatest Calgary in the world, hands-down (my pants)

Does that make you metrosexual?
