But Donald Trump is separate under Citrix.  Citrix is a security software.

Interesting, no?
No, not very interesting.  Citrix is virtualization software, not necessarily security software.

Yes, I am aware.  It's virtualization, primarily for security these days.

Now...why would he have it written on the address book page in big letters?  He wasn't a computer person and the word is unrelated to anything he did, as far as I know.

It's not the only page with it but it's odd to note.
Also of note: some of the writing has been erased by whoever copied it.  Look at page 81.  There's a fragment of text hand written but the rest is unexpectedly cut off.  Why?

That's not the reason Trump gave for why Rosie O'Donnell should be stripped of citizenship. Stop making things up.

He said she "is not in the best interests of our great country" and that "she is a Threat to Humanity".
Far as I can see he didn't elaborate on either of those claims.
So what does any of that mean? What has she actually done which would make him say that?
The only thing I can actually see she's done, apart from emigrate because she can't stand to be in a country in which he's president, is be an outspoken critic of him.
And he is notoriously and embarrassingly thin skinned. So if he's not talking about her criticism of him then what is he talking about?

If you can't see the way he goes after critics of him as dangerous and "dictatory" then you are beyond help.

Rosie O'Donnell is a public personality has made her positions quite clear. She believes in all of the radical positions of the far left and is intolerant under the guise of tolerance. She has two trans children and is a bad person.

Here she is promoting a game which humorizes killing a politician:

Fox - Rosie O'Donnel Under Fire for Promoting Trump Killing Game

Here she is openly bribing Congressional representatives:

Forbes - Has Rosie O'Donnell Tweeted Her Way Into Bribery Charges?

    "After comedian Rosie O'Donnell offered $2 million to two Republican senators to vote against the GOP tax bill on Twitter, conservatives across the Internet began calling for formal charges of bribery against her.

    O'Donnell's tweet was directed at Maine Senator Susan Collins and Arizona Senator Jeff Flake, who both ultimately voted for the tax bill. She reiterated the cash offer in several other tweets."

This last one alone, bribing politicians, is something that deserves a revocation of citizenship and deportation and expulsion from the country. She is also likely guilty of violating campaign finance laws. There is a pattern of attempting to tamper with the politicial process.

She said that she fled to Ireland because of Trump and the evil republicans stripping away the rights of citizens. In reality, she was afraid of being prosecuted for her crimes.

this is protected by the fourteenth amendment.

this is protected by a bunch of amendments.

Here she is openly bribing Congressional representatives:

if so, then her due process is protected by the fifth and fourteenth amendments.

This last one alone, bribing politicians, is something that deserves a revocation of citizenship and deportation and expulsion from the country.

that's not how due process works.

given your dangerously unamerican attitudes and clear contempt for the constitution, you should probably be deported. thankfully, the first amendment guarantees your right to be as unamerican as you want to be.

lol. You MAGA cult are funny.
O'Donnell is a BAD PERSON because she doesn't believe what you believe.
But the convicted felon, the bloke who thinks it's ok to "grab 'em by the pussy", boasts about walking in to Miss Teen USA dressing rooms, talks about how he'd like to bang his daughter, has had numerous affairs, paid off a porn star, is an adjudicated rapist.
Yep. That's sounds like a GOOD PERSON. That's the guy we want running the country.
You lot are silly  :D

And here you are explaining why she has the right to do so

America is generous in its free speech. Speech related to advocating illegal actions is in general legal. The Supreme Court ruled that the speech related to advocating illegal actions is only illegal if the speech is part of a specific criminal conspiracy. You can indeed call for burning everything down, or death to the infidels or almost anything you want. The limitations only start when you start planning out a specific murder to occur at a specific time with your comrades.

D'oh! Logical consistency is overrated, amirite?

Sorry to hear that you don't understand humour. The two people she made the fairly clear jokey offer to didn't vote the way she asked anyway. Was she ever charged for this let alone convicted?

Meanwhile, in MAGA world some bribery which actually did happen:

Quote
Speaking at a rally Sunday night, Musk said "we just want judges to be judges", before handing out two $1m (£750,000) cheques to voters who had signed a petition to stop "activist" judges.

D'oh! Logical consistency is overrated, amirite?

That's a nice opinion. Shame it has no basis in law or the constitution.

Once again you show yourself to judge actions entirely depending on whether it's your cult leader or one of his minions doing it, or someone you don't like. Logical consistency is overrated, amirite?  :)

I'm again struck by the blatant contradiction of Trump fans who insist they admire him for being a cool bad boy who says what he wants and does what he wants, a master troll who stomps all over the delicate feelings of the whiny bleeding-heart "feels>reals" types and sends them scurrying for cover, only for them, whenever it's convenient, to reinvent him as a deeply pious and upstanding family man who stands against the godless immorality of people like the Clintons and Hollywood liberals, as well as a fearless defender of children against the predatory LGBT community. Which is it, guys? Do you embrace Trump's amorality or not? You can't sneer "lol, fuck your feelings" at people who rightly criticize Trump for making misogynistic or racist attacks and then turn around and say, "My goodness, I am offended by Rosie O'Donnell promoting a Flash game where you kill the president. This is deeply immoral! Think of the children!" It's one or the other. You can be all in on 4chan-style amorality and deliberate offensiveness, or you can claim the high ground and insist you're standing up for Christian values and decency, but you can't do both.

Ummm... Those ARE Christian values.
Proclaiming yourself to be holy and morally right while slaughtering innocents.  Thats about as Christian as you get.

I mean, maybe not but what Jesus taught, but very Christian.

I see AATW and Honk defending Rosie O'Donnell's actions by trying to point the finger elsewhere. However inaccurate, the main problem is that two wrongs don't make a right. You can't justify killing a person you met on the street because Hitler killed 6 million. Hitler's actions are irrelevant to yours.

Bribing politicians is unjustifiable. It is a disrespect for the political process and is certainly deserving of a revocation of citizenship. You should lose the privilege of being an American if you engage in criminal corruption such as bribery of officials.

Also, committing crimes as a joke isn't a workable defense.

You can't say "two wrongs don't make a right" when you refuse to accept that what Trump has said and done is even a "wrong" to begin with. To make your murder analogy work, we'd have to suppose that there's a guy named Joe who killed someone, nothing ever happened to him, and there was a large group of people who outright celebrated the fact that Joe had killed a person and admired just how tough and daring he was for doing it. Then a guy named Bob comes along and kills someone, and the same people celebrating Joe killing a person acted horrified and said, "How dare you kill a person? Murder is never, never, never justified!" and when Bob argued that Joe was celebrated for killing someone, those people stuck their fingers in their ears and shrieked, "Two wrongs don't make a right!" Because that's more or less what you're doing. When Trump behaves like a horrible person, you either look the other way or outright praise him for it. When someone who's opposed to Trump behaves poorly, you become a holier-than-thou pompous scold. Is being a bad person cool and acceptable or not? It's a simple question.

I am sure that if you murder someone in cold blood, there will be someone in existence who is willing to give you a thumbs up or "celebrate" it. However, the presence of those people and their potential hyprocrisy doesn't justify your murder. You, alone, are responsible for the murder that you commit. Provided that they did not force you to do it, it doesn't matter what other people do or don't do. Other people are not you. It's called self responsibility.

I wouldn't bother.  Tom's reply proves that he either can't see it, or won't say it.

He was 100% on board with bribing people to vote if it was Trump or Elon.  He's 100% onboard with blackmail or threats of/to politicians so long as its Trump doing it.

Does anyone else remember Trump holding a special dinner for his Trump coin investors, including a meet and greet for the top buyers?   How is that not begging to be bribed?

Check me if I’m wrong, but the senators didn’t vote way Rosie O’Donnell wanted, so she never actually a paid bribe.  The worst you could accuse her of is attempted bribery.

The point of the analogy was obviously not to claim that two wrongs make a right, but to highlight the hypocrisy of condemning the wrongdoing of one person while condoning or actively encouraging the same wrongdoing  from someone else. I regret even expanding on this dumb analogy to begin with, as it's just given you an opportunity to further repeat second-grade moral platitudes, while ignoring the main point I'm trying to get at:

Nope, sorry, this isn't a relevant response to what I asked you. Once again, is being a bad person cool and acceptable or not? Do you admire Trump for being a shameless and entertaining edgelord who doesn't give a fuck about anything, which presumably reflects your values, or do you see him as a deeply moral and upstanding man who stands for integrity and Christianity, which presumably reflects your values? You have to make a choice. He can't be both of these opposite extremes, and you can't claim to genuinely support and agree with both of these opposite extremes.
