A hill I’ll keep dying on: Whatever your politics, the fact that so many U.S. leaders do not understand basic constitutional law—or willfully distort it—reflects extremely poorly on our country.
May 8, 2025 20:15holy shit the logic stream is broken there.
They know. They want a very different country than the one we have been
We the people not we the citizens.
Byron you keep polishing that Orange nutsack and one day you will be elevated to handing out the polish. You are so Moronic with your guest bullshit.Due process is a fundamental right.You are so fucking ignorant and such a tool. You forget your bitch ass is black.Take your tongue out Trumps ass. FCH
Given the level of stupidity demonstrated by MAGAs, ESPECIALLY by their moronic leader, it’s a coin flip on whether they’re gigantic IGNORAMUSES or just pathological LIARS.
They know better, they have chosen not to follow the Constitution.
#boycottusa
Especially Florida.
This type of rhetoric highlights I think is what's at the heart of the issue. They don't want rights for anybody but American citizens. Or anybody they deem to be American citizens. Every time they talk about it quote unquote illegals doing crime they speak as though the law can't do anything.
And I think so many of us let them get away with that type of willful ignorance.
Golly, Byron, there was a time that people who looked like you didn't have due process, only lynch mob "justice"
I want a law that all federally elected and appointed officials are required to tell the truth when talking to the media as if they were under oath.
Sad that Byron allegedly serving in support of his constituents and the constitution without even a basic understanding of the constitution.
His sucking up to the current regime is likely to backfire--especially with the civil rights rollbacks that are happening.
Stop blaming the politicians - it's the idiot voters who elected him, and probably will again.
I think Byron Donalds is here illegally - ship him off.
Oh wait, he disagrees? Too bad, as an illegal he doesn't get a say.
Oh but he says he's *not* an illegal, so he *should* get a say?
If only there were some *process* through which he could present his side of things. Oh well, too bad, so sad
Wrong.
That clip will make a good commercial for his opponent.
His gums are subject to deportation 🥴🥴
Right there with you. The only way to determine if someone is a citizen or not is through due process.
I'm not American, so I have no skin in your game, but I wish jornalists everywhere would ask whether such people spoke their opinion on what the law *ought to* be, or their best understanding what the law currently says.
Because the statement alone may well be framed as either one.
The black man that didn’t get chosen! Loser 😂😂😂😂😂
I think willfully distort. I wish them only consequences.
Hoping Byron gets due process when some cop stops him for a malfunctioning tail light. He's such an Uncle Tom. After all his pontificating for the madman did Byron get any appointments from Trump? Guess he & Patel don't know their MAGA friends have launched an assault on brown and black people.
—> NO PERSON <—
Not limited to citizens or legal residents. ALL PERSONS are entitled to DUE PROCESS.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
That and the fact that there is NO LAW against being an undocumented person in the U.S. It’s a civil penalty. NONE of this is legal.

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien
MAGA is filled with willfully ignorant people.
Wrong. The 5th Amendment says “no person”, not “no citizen”.
Poor thing.
The story of the United States started with ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!!! Did the Native American's invite them to come to this country? What makes it worse is those great "founders" stole, raped and murdered them. This is why MAGA HATES history because it kills their bs lies.
Donalds is an utter idiot. And he’s a liar and a criminal. Seems like maybe he should not be serving in Congress, huh?
And of course there’s the media who allows them a microphone to spread their lies 🙄.
Quick word search. Nope, couldn’t find the word “guest” in the Constitution, let alone the Fifth Amendment. Lazy Founders, I guess.
Byron Donalds still out there begging for a Trump regime appointment. How'd that work out for you last time bro?
He’s actually stating facts about the status of a person which can only be gathered with due process it’s so strikingly stupid
Does the constitution apply only to usa citizens? Was a question on a citizenship test
Source: I passed the mf test, the constitution is really not that hard
I wonder if these cultists and liars could pass a citizenship test or any high school civics exam
This is the Uncle Ron who was kissing trumps ass for a position but Trump doesn't like black people but Donaldson thinks he does. I feel sorry for his wife
Byron Donalds is a useful idiot for the fascists.
Byron wants to be a white supremacist nazi so bad, but he always be DEI to trump and he’ll always be a POS traitor to America…fk him
Black maga republicans - european mind can not comprehend it
The word "citizen" doesn't appear anywhere in the 5th and 14th Amendments.
Chimpanzees would do a better job
Somebody explain to this idiot that it’s ***LEGAL*** to enter this country and ask for asylum.
Somebody explain to this idiot that when they run out of immigrants and trans folk, he’s on that same list. Simply for his skin color.
Somebody more patient than I.
Shouldn’t a basic understanding of the US Constitution be a requirement to be in Congress?
It takes a process due all people within the borders of the USA to determine illegality.
Without it mistakes are made, the just are punished unjustly..
You know they understand the Constitution. Willful distortion it is.
They are willfully distorting it. Do NOT give them the benefit of the doubt. (Or should I say “due process”?)
they have to be educated to understand it.
It’s not so much that they don’t understand it so much as they couldn’t give less of a shit about it.
Because it gives rights to people who don’t look like them.
i know poll tests are illegal, but i think passing some sort of civil service exam should be required to appear on the ballot, or maybe before they can cast a vote in congress.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY IF THEY ARE DENIED DUE PROCESS YOU IMBECILES
Does this dumb bitch not realize slavery being re-legalized is just around the fuckin corner??
Jesus dude, look at the image in the mirror.
another uneducated Florida man. all demagoguery and fame whoring
Well it does sort of prove that, as a country, we are not real bright or informed about what our country stands for
You cannot find a finer man than Byron Donalds
They cherry-pick the Constitution the exact same way they cherry-pick the Bible. Whatever suits their needs is how they interpret them.
This guy can't read! Illegal alien or not the constitution enshrined due to every person in the US. The constitution doesn't limit due process to citizens only. If you don't have due process, how do you prove your a citizen fuck nut! God, these assholes are all illiterate!
We are following the same rules that they did when they came here illegally. Bye bye
I mean, we're like from here lol
Yes. It's profoundly discouraging.
Also, even in cases which due process would find someone illegal and worthy of deportation under the law, they’re not actually deporting people back to where they came from… but kidnapping them, trafficking them, and basically selling them off to a foreign prison.
If any law was broken, it is important to remember that immigration law is civil, and not criminal.
If he is a lawyer he should be disbarred.
As a Representative, especially,
@byrondonalds.bsky.social should really know the Constitution better than apparently he does.
Hasn't he figured out that he's just a useful idiot. I suggest the show the Boonedocks. He resembles the character uncle ruckus.
He’s trying so hard to be part of the club. He doesn’t understand no matter what he says or does he will never be part of the club! Idiot
Funny how many people call illegal aliens and yet legally speaking, crossing the border illegally is merely a civil violation.
It's not fucking hard for these dipshits to hire a constitutional lawyer to act as an advisor on these issues.
"...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
It's written in plain English.
'Any person'.
Trump U. dropout
He got his due process as a teen when he was spared a prisión sentence. he kniws exactly what he's doing.
I forget where I originally heard it, but I keep stubbing my toe on examples of "Reality and the truth have a liberal bias."
I don't think dying on hilltops comes until late summer, early autumn maybe.
The constitution was written like a dozen years before the pathway to citizenship.
Do you think it’s actual ignorance or performative BS? Most of them aren’t idiots. I find either answer frightening.
Bruh...
