Barack Obama's father's immigration file shows Obama born in Honolulu.

White House releases Obama's long-form birth certificate.

Plus, you know, there's a *regular* birth certificate, and a legally-recognized record of birth, plus an announcement in the local newspaper, plus... but I'm sure *this* will finally get those fucking idiots to come around, right?

I kid you not:

But, Trump said, "we have to look at it. We have to see, is it real? Is it proper?" He added: "It is rather amazing that all of a sudden it materializes." And, Trump said, there are still questions about President Obama's background. "The word is," Trump told the press, Obama "was a terrible student when he went to Occidental [College]. He then gets to Columbia. He then gets to Harvard."

"I don't know why he doesn't release his records," Trump said. "Why doesn't he release his Occidental records?"

I know he's pushing it for publicity but oh my god. so many headdesks.

Yeah, I saw that about the college transcripts.

*WHHZZZZZ*

(sound of another goalpost being flung further down the field)

Also, Trump promised to release his tax returns to the public should Obama ever release his birth certificate.

Cough it up, Donald.

My favorite was the Onion's tweet: "BREAKING: Trump unable to produce document stating he is not a steaming pile of shit."

My job entails reviewing birth certificates and, yes, "certificates of live birth" on behalf of the feds. I think I'm more qualified than Trump to evaluate the evidence. And my conclusion is that Trump is even more of an asshole than I've long thought him.

To say nothing of Article II, section 1, reading "No Person except a natural born Citizen" - does not mean BORN WITHIN THE US or territories - it means born a citizen.

(Native born citizen is the one that the courts have interpreted to mean born within the territories and states).

Which is to say, Pres. Obama's birth certificate is not the issue, anyway.

His mother's is.

Notice how they don't demand nice white Iowa native's birth certificate?

Or scream about how Sen. McCain was born in Panama?

Racism: it never STOPS being a bad idea.

I'd head-desk, but my head hasn't come up from yesterday's f*ckwittery from the students.

No proof will ever be valid for the sort of people who go around spewing bald-faced lies, then, when challenged about whatever idiocy they pulled out of their asses on that particular day, say (and this is a direct quote), it "was not intended to be a factual statement."

Was not intended to be a factual statement. It's like saying they're lying to get what they want for entertainment purposes only. I can't even wrap my fucking head around that.

But he can't win, can he? The RNC chairman said something like "Why are we talking about this issue? Why are we not dealing with the real issues in this country?"

If I were the President I'd be out on the White House lawn right now with a big megaphone saying "What the FUCK do you want from me?!?"

He's a smart black man who made it to the White House. SOMETHING must be wrong with him, or else something might be wrong with ME. And we can't have that.

The date on that cartoon just makes me want to cry. Because it's STILL FUCKING TRUE.
