What a great fun fact! It really shows how ridiculous their arguments are when you consider the history of this country.

Be careful, they don't know what a Nevis is . . . so your point may be flying over their heads . . . .

MAGA hates everyone but white men.

Is Vance trying to complicate Trumps health on purpose?

I went to law school with Sparkle and she was one of the smartest and kindest classmates we had. She deserves every bit of the success and honor that she has attained.

Sounds like makings of a fair & just judge. Thank you for sharing.

Can't imagine the founders thought twice about a guy named Captive Dreamer, regardless of WHERE he was from.

MAGA h8s the Constitution.

People who have uncle brothers really have no room to talk- I mean I’ll talk a Judge Sparkle over a judge Cletus any time

Nevis sounds like something inside ones eye

You might have looked up the place you are mocking to discover that Alexander Hamilton was that immigrant from Nevis. Are place names you haven’t heard of always a source of amusement?

Aileen Cannon was born in Colombia in the 80s which makes her a drug dealer by MAGA logic.

Well, she’s obviously dealing something.

Perhaps by trade, still in Don Jr's Favorites

An 8th grade education refutes 95 percent of their lies.

From god’s mouth to Donny2Dolls EAR…! Lower case God on purpose…!

And a cartel gang member!

🏆

So TWO of Donald's wives then are unrepentant COMMUNISTS!

The only crime here is her parents naming her Sparkle. If you have a daughter, resist the urge for a cutesy name. She might grow up to be a judge, or something.

Or have the irresistible urge to buy crystal and silverware from a high end Fifth Avenue store?

🤣

Donny2Racist will try to hold his Normalcy against him …!

Newsom is still anti-trans and is criminalizing homelessness. Let's not normalize that either.

Exactly!

🎶 FYI… Immigrants, they get the job done. 🎶

Yeah because only American-born people should exist in America, in Trump's world... ?? Check out these 'foreigners' who dedicated their lives in their service to America en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Wow! Just think of the degree of freedom of movement that was lost when those colonies left the empire! /s

Ever heard the expression "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"? Why is it that GOP politicians and many rabid GOP voters seem to have the biggest, most vulnerable glass houses? And throw the most stones? The reason is that they thrive on anger, which blinds them to reality - and folly.

And look what they did to him.

Hamilton got himself into the duel that killed him.

The duel didn't kill him. Aaron Burr did. The duel was just the circumstance. He didn't shoot at Burr to kill, but the return fire was on the mark.

And the circumstances suggest that Burr may not have even been aiming at Hamilton. Those pistols fire wildly all the time. Accuracy was not a feature of those guns.

It's all speculation now, but they were political enemies, and Burr made the challenge. Burr killed Hamilton. Burr was a traitor in many other ways. The parallels favor Burr's side = Trump's side.

Burr was definitely a narcissist. But the OP I responded to made it seem like the government had killed Hamilton and that's not the case. Hamilton made enemies and that's what got him killed. And he made enemies not because of where he was from but because of what he did to some people like Burr.

I've enjoyed this, but my original comment wasn't super serious. That said, Burr was worse than a narcissist.

No doubt. We actually know a lot more about Hamilton than we do about Burr.

What we do know is that he killed a founding father, was a traitor in other ways, and never paid for any of his crimes. Sound familiar?

That's a false equivalency.

“Oh, but that was different!” While I believe that we have made progress from a racial acceptance & complete integration perspective, we have a long ways to go to reach true unity. Sadly, while it is possible, it is highly doubtful because too many will always fell that they are better than. . . !

The head of the Trump family is named "Diaperload Don".

Somebody should write a musical about him

One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was named Button.

The correct response to captive dreamer would be: We have a 34-time convicted felon and sexual predator as president. Just as the founders intended.

Melanija Knavs

my niece went to Veterinary school in nearby St. Kitts (same country) and is now a Vet. she had a lot of issues during her first years in college (friend dying of cancer, etc.) so her grades were not good enough for US, but she is a very successful Vet now, she loved St. Kitts.

President named Cankled

A guy named Button Gwinnett signed the Declaration of Independence. (Do feel kinda sorry for the poor guy though. That was a stupid name, even for the 1700s)

You seem to be expecting MAGA types to possess a considerable level of historical expertise.

indeed, trying to get a service contract on an irony detector these days... you will pay dearly. the daily wear and tear is too much.

Our true arguably most influential Founding Father was born poor and was an immigrant. Enough said.

Thomas Jefferson has more black descendants than white ones.

At least she can read.

MAGA has no idea who Alexander Hamilton is.

Remember back in 2016? The genesis of Trump’s disdain of Hispanic judges. www.npr.org/2016/06/07/4...

And they’re really quite unaware of Broadway musicals as well😉

It shouldn't make a difference her brain doesn't care what color her skin is, it doesn't effect it in any way. If she has the intelligence, the training, she knows as much as judge Eileen Cannon, at least as much. I bet the people that are complaining don't have an eighth of her education.

MAGA: the Federalist what now?

They never miss an opportunity to demonstrate their ignorance and bigotry. When they show us who they are believe them.

true... unfortunately, that probably won't persuade many MAGAts. They're pretty sure Hamilton was a communist or something.

Well really. If you weren't first nations born American. You're all immigrants. Don't matter how far family goes back.

Technically, First Nations also immigrated here. So we are all immigrates and it’s a dumb thing for our govt to get stupid about.

For people so concerned with founders' intent, maga sure doesn't mind the authoritarianism the founders so clearly opposed... so which is it... just caring about founding principles when convenient is seemingly well aligned with adhering to their sacred book only when convenient.

That is their sacred cow. Original intent *only* when it favors them. All other considerations be damned.

if i were in court and the other person’s attorney was named sparkle, i’d be settling out of court so fast because she can probably wipe the floor with everyone in the room

Naturally, Republicans and MAGA have only smears. They have nothing relevant to the legal arguments in the case. What is remarkable to me is that so many people in this country think a smear (and it doesn’t matter if it’s false) is an argument worthy of entertaining.

Most people would assume someone named Sparkle had to work much harder and therefore be twice as good as someone named John or James just to be taken seriously.

…… it’s Sparklé 😇

Let's see the Epstein files and compare them to the Federalist papers written by racists and human traffickers.

And people from Nevis are way more cool today than way back when.

My name is Star, I was born in Detroit - what the ever loving heck does the name have to do with anything? MAGA are so strange!!!

🤬🤬🤬

Love that "racist shitbag" is the default setting for half the people in this country and everyone is cool with it.

Thomas Paine (Common Sense….which we are sorely lacking today) was born in England. Being born here doesn’t preclude you from being an American!!! MAGA are too stupid to get that.

Nobody griped about Kash Patel's given name. It's his garbage resume and unsettling gaze that gives pause.

Just looking at that maniacal strabismic gaze makes my eyes hurt!

Kashyap!!🤣😂

He always looks like someone just scare the ever loving shit out of him. 😆

I think he sees dead people.

His name is Kashyap. I want everyone to call him "Yap". With affection, of course.

The Yap-inater!!

YAP! I'm in!!!

The recession app for the bankrupted: Kash App

Pronounced "Cash App," I assume.

And how’s it going under guys with names like “Donald” and “Jeffrey”?

The son of a whore and a Scotsman.

*White guy born in Nevis

It confuses me sometimes that you were once a staunch Republican. What changed?

Indeed! HAMILTON is my name! I'm not going to throw away my shot.

Oh but he was white, so.

You know they think Nevis is short for Nevada, right?

FYI, Nevis is an island in the Carribean...next to Saint Kitts. I would prefer to be called Sparkles than stupid, dumb, and ignorant (or MAGA).

You don't have to be educated or a critical thinker to be a voter. So for the record: The Federalist Papers is a collection of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay (pseudonym "Publius") to promote the ratification of the Constitution of the United States.

But Alexander Hamilton was white, which means that he was human, according to MAGA. Sparkle Sooknanan is a woman from Asian origin, which is worse than illegal, according to the same.

White, but illegitimate. He was a really heroic character, given his time and family heritage.

They're "Trumpsplainin'" their inability to win in a court of law...

Since most of the founding fathers owner slaves, I’m not sure how reinforcing white supremacy here is the flex he thinks it is.

Even the person he's referring to, Hamilton, was white. It's a false equivalency.

Hamilton wrote the other 51!

Using MAGA’s logic, Button Gwinnett, Robert Morris, George Taylor, Matthew Thornton, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, James Smith, Francis Lewis who all signed the Declaration of Independence were probably not American too, as they were foreign born.

But that guy was white … so nation of origin doesn’t matter. 🙄

And the biggest influence next to Russia is a South African drug addict.

People with weird names shouldn't be making important decisions for the country!!

I assume that’s exactly what the founders intended since they could have explicitly required someone to be US born like they did with the role of President (Art. II, Sec 1). They intentionally didn’t include this requirement so yes, just as the founders intended.

We all know it’s not the birth country - it’s the birth color that maga is really crying about.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out.

Typical racist with a maga dose of ignorance So sick of being ruled by The Stupid The Corrupt The Incompetent. The Dishonest

Nevis. So perfect. Too bad the poignancy and relevance will bounce off red-hats.

My favorite island.

I thought liberals loved taxes.

👏👏👏😂👍

Ok, George. BUT, is he dead yet?

Alexander Hamilton is dead.

So tired of lazy, racist white racism being given a voice by $billionaire propagandists collectively working to undermine our Republic and working class. It was not long ago- pre-Trump when the US had the most productive workforce in the world.

Yeah, much worse than Nosferatu on the bench.

Declaration was signed by "Button" Gwinnett.

Oh but George, he wasn't 😱 BROWN 😱! 🙄

But but but he was WWWHHHIITTTTEE! White, I tell you! 😩😩😩. He mattered just for existing! He is a Founding FATHER!! She’s just a woman and she’s Brown! Hmph!

The list of trumps complaints serms to be endless. It could be a moustache he doesnt like, a name, a disabled person, someone overweight, and brown or black skin, perceived enemies, the educated. All an excuse to deploy the national guard!

The magats I’m related to are all like that. Bigots, misogynists, racists, narcissists. They are disgusting intolerant swine but everyone else doesn’t quite measure up. 🙄

MAGAts never disappoint when it comes to overt racism.

And a bastard child at that..!

Racists gonna be racist.

It irks their precious manliness that a woman named Sparkle is so much smarter and more accomplished.

Our president’s name is an intransitive verb.

Most of the founding fathers were British subjects or foreign-born. They "became" American when the country was created. Plus, Cheeto and eyeliner both CHANGED their names. Not very proud of where they came from or who they were? Or they wanted to reinvent themselves? Like the people they demonize?

That guy from Nevis did pretty good for himself. He's still pretty popular today.

Racism is in season! Jesus, every noxious fume is captured by MAGA. What are you against? Whatcha got? said Brando.

Women weren’t autonomous beings in the Founders world so there’s that, too

NATIONWIDE PROTESTS tomorrow, September 1st. Find a protest near you by clicking this link findaprotest.info

PLEASE ATTEND..! I’ll see you there! WASHINGTON D.C. ON THE MALL IN FRONT OF 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE THANK YOU

By the way, the Mall is not in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Between the WH and the Mall is the Ellipse.

Is there a permitted event there? If not, do NOT go. They are itching for an excuse to start shooting.

Yes, and as long as it stays peaceful, they shouldn’t shoot..! 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Who is sponsoring it? There is nothing listed on 50501. Who issued the permit?

But that guy was white.

Trinidad and Tobago a lot closer than Slovania

We need more Judge Sparkles.

MAGA logic is stupid. Many of the founding fathers were immigrants or 1st gen.

They *all* were migrant here. There's only a couple boxes to check.

Juvenile delinquents, all Congressional GOP. bsky.app/profile/wayn...

I think they are actually murderers

Me too. I think they killed some of those young girls.

No one know history. They know hate

🙄

Figures

Pocahontas is pissed because we have judges named Smith and Thompson.

Stupid speaks!

How very 10 years old of you.

Thinking you may have missed my point, which is ok.

If I missed your point, I apologize. Am beyond tired of the use of pejorative terminology, for any reason.

You don't expect regressives to know such things do you? They'd have to be woke to know that.

Isn't the FOTUS' daughter named "Sparkletits"? Or, am I mistaken? I would trust this Judge WAY before her.

Absolutely

If he's got beef with dark complexions and funny names, he should take it up with the FBI director, the Director of National Intelligence, the vice president's wife, Vivak, etc.

He can turn on them in an instant but if they can provide him support and adoration, he will use that first.

If you’re melanated, you’re Trump hated.

How about Kash Googly eyes Patel? Brown as a berry!!

I mean, the founder of my county and a signer of the declaration of independence. His name was literally Button. White AF, English citizen.

I take it you’re from Gwinnett County, GA? Ever seen this? m.youtube.com/watch?v=uhFe...

Yeah probably shouldn't have doxxed myself. Oh well. I've moved.

This is what I needed this morning!! Thank you!

Thanks for this! Never seen before myself. All smiles.

Thank you. That was fantastic. Tonight needed those two. :)

@kmgj89.bsky.social Thank you! w. Jon Batiste & Stay Human Ahh ... Back in the good ol' days. I'd like to share another treat. Lin-Manuel Miranda Alex Lacamoire "The world will never be the same Alexander ..." Phew. Didn't give me goosebumps back then, but now... www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFf...

Back in the days when poetry, art, music, and JOY filled the halls of the Executive Mansion.

❤️🇺🇲💔

Yes! I love this! But, if you want goosebumps, remember when they sang again at the White House a couple of weeks before the end of Obama’s presidency? 😢 m.youtube.com/watch?v=uV4U...

@kmgj89.bsky.social Yes. Thank you! Much more mature, eight years and several thousand shows later. But the first take of the "Hip-Hop Album" really blew me away. "One Last Time" fits perfectly. 45 just around the corner. At least no one had to fear that 47 would be worse than everything before.

I watched the first episode of the documentary on Hurricane Katrina last night on Netflix. I remember in 2005 thinking that GWB was the worst president I would see in my lifetime. Nope. Not even close. Have a Happy Labor Day!

@kmgj89.bsky.social I remember in 2005 thinking that GWB was the worst president I would see in my lifetime. In 2022, I began to understand that it was never about GWB or DJT. Not about parties. The nation is being destroyed by the Heritage Foundation, Christian nationalists, NRA, ... & oligarchs.

I am afraid you are correct. Should Vance become president, the connections he has with Peter Thiel et al and Heritage Foundation are very concerning. But, yes, when you wrap everything up in Jesus, you’re going to carry certain voters every time.

To be Jesus' advocate... he does have great ideas. The followers twisted it.

Cash Pat'Hell

Bootlickers get a race pass

That ‘guy’ from Nevis just happens to be my direct ancestor!

Can’t imagine there are more than 2 people more important than Hamilton in the creation of the Constitution; Madison and, maybe Randolph (and that is being kind to Randolph).

I see they're not making fun of the name "Trump".

And worse, it was originally Drumpf.

Worse. In the dialect of mid twentieth century northern England To Trump meant to break wind.

Fits!

I will be using this all week and the resort of the year! Spectacular! What kind of Trumpery is this! Lol

In the UK, to "trump" means to fart.

Haha yes!

Man is this accurate

Now there's a "Revelation" evangelicals should take note of...

Tawdry ... [so apropos]

I have forever wondered why no one jumped on this.

What Maga can't handle is a judiciary that looks like America.

It's not her national origin those MAGAT muthaphuckas are touching on, it's mostly her ethnicity bekause white MAGA feels like minorities, i.e. people of Afrikan descent aren't worthy to hold the positions that we inhabit.

They wouldn't even know where Nevis is. Let alone who you're referring to.

But what was his skin color

It's clear what they’re doing. However there is no moral high ground once you elect a misogynistic,felonious, treasonous, sociopathic, racist, psychotic, rapist, child molester then support everything he says and does. I would love to deport the real problem along with their female counterparts.

How about if her name were Markwayne and she wore a 20 gallon hat. Would that make her more credible? Morons one and all.

😎👍 And while we're at it, although America 𝘸𝘢𝘴 the birthplace of basketball, it was actually a Canadian physed instructor 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 in America in the 1880s who invented the game. 😁 #SlavaKanadi 🟥🍁🟥

Each and every day, this administration proves that white people are not the übermensch.

Ugh making fun of people's names is reason #6924 why we still need DEI

Or just some morals and common sense.

Yep! And thousands of Americans (and internationals too) visit the Hamilton museum on Nevis every year. For the past three summers I have watched them flow in and out and around. 👏👏👏

That was me & husband in 2014. We proceeded to get trashed on Mojitos, and think the US was pretty awesome (having so many see this hunk of land was worth fighting for). What a lifetime ago. 😥

Maybe they need to each “Hamilton.” That man was non-stop.

He was probably and illegal

Amen.

Hey Sparkle is a glorious name, the haters are bellicose.

This is just a distraction. Move on to this: youtu.be/TQFQqU3O9GM?... #Epstein #TrumpEpstein #TrumpPedophile

And the movie which is coming out I think this week (?) will cost considerably less to see than the original Broadway musical, which is still playing and still requires a second mortgage!

These guys get really upset when you call them racist, when it's literally impossible to square this circle ("the founders wouldn't be ok with this Caribbean born judge, even though a crucial founder was Caribbean born") without introducing race.

These aren't dog whistles anymore, these are bullhorns.

He doesn’t know what lucky timing he had. I don’t think he’d get hired today.

And Captive Dreamer is a Canadian.

And this brilliant Trini born judge knows a shit ton more about the constitution, law and order and human rights than any of them.

But the guy who wrote those papers was named after a Macedonian bisexual, and his family name is the title of a musical. How can we take him seriously?

That migrated to St. Croix

Despicable

There you go again, George …bringing up those pesky facts. 🤔

The Republicans have a "Twinkle". "Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh... ...A member of the Alabama Republican Party, she served as president of the Alabama Public Service Commission (PSC) from 2012 to 2025.... ...appointed to be the USDA state director of rural development by Donald Trump."

Hmm I wonder what the difference is between her and Hamilton?

A glimpse into the inner monologues of many (too many) hiring and investment decisionmakers when they see a nonwhite person, the same kind of people who swore affirmative action was never necessary and that the civil rights movement exaggerated the evils of segregation.

What misogynist racism? Trump has a real problem with women of color.

Also, not for nothing, she’s a really sharp lawyer.

Stop, George. They don’t like being confronted with facts.

Sparkle is a great name. Good on her parents. Also, Rs are whiny babies.

Hmm...was he by chance a bastard son-of-a-whore Scotsman??

How does a bastard, orphan son of a whore And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean By providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? (Sparkle is a hero and scholar too)

And many will still act as if he's entitled to the benefit of the doubt on whether he meant "in a just world, she would be a white man's slave."

Another example of why cross-cultural and racial mixing is so desirable. Born in Trinidad and Tobago to parents descended from Indians brought to the West Indies by the British to work in their plantations, then migrated to the US, became a lawyer, and then a judge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkle...

Lovely.

This person obviously doesn’t know where Hamilton was born.

MAGA find many truths inconvenient.

Let’s quiz the maga on who that guy was.

But it was a white guy born in Nevis……

Just like the Founders (clearly) intended.

People on this app think Lisa Cook should be fired because of a mortgage application. I blocked two of them earlier who insisted it had nothing to do with her race. Supposedly on our side…

Sparkle is such a cool name.

With apologies to Lin-Manuel: Immigrants. We get the job done.

Noxious and specifically protected under the constitution.

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

By working a lot harder. By being a lot smarter. By being a self-starter.

But MarkWayne makes sense? Mitt Strom

MAGA has no idea where or what Nevis is.

I'm so glad we do. She seems like a sharp one.

Nevis is a British colony. The United States is a British colony, makes sense.

As a Caribbean girl myself , this makes me proud!

Actually as a Trini I’m more than insulted

Well, it's not as though he's famous nowadays, like being on a Broadway marquee. Oh wait.

Wait until the Christian Republicans find out where Jesus was born....

Who is Alexander Hamilton?

Yeah, but he was white-ish and liked money.

The House Majority Leader in the 90s and early 2000s was a white guy named Dick Armey and we all had to pretend like that was normal

Underrated comment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Can’t stop laughing! 😂

And this guy was born in a cave somewhere …

Shit on a stump and hatched in the sun.

Not born, created by a mad scientist!!!

Spawned out of bat shit and slimy moss goo

His parents must be so proud...

Hadn’t we all surmised Transylvania?

Lol

Are you using the correct place for his , “WHAT”.? I’m not sure he was actually “born” and was closer to being hatched…! That’s one egg that failed to be fertilized correctly…!

Fun fact. Steven Miller was both conceived and birthed anally.

Ultimately, this is exactly what the founder's intended whether they knew it or not.

Kinda odd

I can't top that with a tasteless joke about name of the guy who wrote that MAGA post.

First reaction when she was at DOJ: were her parents Dick Tracy comic strip fans (Sparkle Plenty). Second, when she became a judge: almost as cool a name as Learned Hand.

The nitwit who wrote that about Her Honor, probably doesn’t even know who Alexander Hamilton was, never mind that he was born in Nevis.

For anyone supporting a monstrosity like trump to find fault inferred by a birth name is situationally blind & just stupid. Sparkle is an unusual name. So is Ivanka & Arabella. What do they mean? Not much. The person inhabits the name, the name can change but the person remains. I hear Nevis is👍🏻.

Lovely island..

The sole name that needs repeating and amplifying is EPSTEIN Where are the files, Donald? (We still haven’t forgotten.) #Epstein #EpstienFiles

Thank you Lin Manuel Miranda for educating us

One Million Rising

These are absolutely garbage people.

Ms. ???? How about Honorable Sparkle

Doesn't matter where she was born

They’ve uncovered a case in that Trump and bondi are covering up. An Israeli pedophile was arrested in Vegas and they’re protecting him. It is the pedo party, wow!

Nevis? Tell us more!

It actually IS what our founding fathers intended.

But here’s the problem: 90% of MAGA have never heard of the Federalist Papers, the guy from Nevis, or the island of Nevis. Nor do any of them care.

that's different because...you know...

Ask our president, if he even knows what the Federalist Papers are?……..!

So, he’s okay with the SCOTUS judge named Frankfurter? 🌭
