So Judge Cannon gets the would-be Trump assassin case. Wow. What a coincidence. I can predict his lawyers will try to get her removed because of obvious Trump bias on her part. Should be interesting.

@arthurpendragon Thanks, man. Yeah, he’s married to an American, so he could have a green card in addition to any other special work visa he might have. It just bugs me, though, that he chooses to be an “American” in his daily life but chooses to be “un-American” when it comes to golf.

@sfleetucker I know they’re not U.S. citizens, but they’re allowed to live here indefinitely, it seems. My question was why, and why they’re then allowed to compete against Americans - some of whom are their neighbors! - in international events. If they get permanent resident status here, they should have to give up their right to compete against us for the country of their birth. Jason Day can remain an ex-pat Australian, just not be allowed to compete as an
Australian when it suits him, IMO.

@MookyTroubadour I don’t get your point. You mean, compared to war and climate change and human misery they don’t matter? Well, can’t argue with that!

@arthurpendragon Well, yeah, he has retained his Australian citizenship, and that’s my point. Why does he get to stay in this country? Do athletes get some kind of special work visa?

Can someone explain to me why pro athletes get to live year-round in the U.S. and play against the U.S. in international competitions like the Olympics and the Presidents Cup? Jason Day hasn’t lived in Australia for decades, yet gets to play for Australia against us in the Presidents Cup. Will he be part of the mass deportation promised by Trump? Just wondering.

I had to laugh when I read what Harris said in response to a shooter on Trump’s golf course in Florida, apparently targeting him: “Violence has no place in America.” Well, such platitudes are expected, especially from the one running against Trump, but really? America is one of the most violent countries on Earth. Likewise, “This is not who we are.” It’s exactly who we are. Come to grips with it, people, and at least make it harder for the violent among us to commit mass violence.
