Comment Clark the Orphan interesting Reimagining (Score 1) 103

They had a wrecked craft with no ID and a human looking infant. And didn't contact any authorities, and made no effort to find the craft's origins.

The Kent's intent to deceive is obvious.

Or the intent was to not look like an alien believer nutcase who should not be allowed to raise a child.

So they are discovered, the craft revealed and they lose custody. The child is still unidentified. His parents are still unidentified. There is still no evidence of where he was born. He remains a presumable US citizen like any other foundling in Kansas, despite what happens to the Clarks. Even if the craft is believed to be of alien origin, he looks human not alien so the more plausible scenario is that he is an abductee in some sort of drone that crashed during his abduction. So he gets put into the system. Maybe he stays in the system until age 18. Maybe he gets adopted. Either ways he gets to stay in the US as a presumable US citizen. There is no evidence he is an alien until the Citadel of Power and by then he is 21 and free and clear as a citizen as described above. He committed not misrepresentation. He never knew for sure prior to the Citadel.

The space ship discovered and the clarks busted, the kid thrown in the orphanage system. Maybe that would be an interesting reimagining. :-)

Anyone wanting to come to the United States in 2025 is a moron. We're no longer the land of opportunity. Instead we're the land of a criminal, pedophile President rapist who sends masked men to major cities to unconstitutionally kidnap and torture people before sending them to prisons or to foreign nations to be tortured. America sucks in 2025.

You got the years wrong. That was 2021-2025 with Biden deploying the cartel and traffickers to American cities.

See how easy politics is. Now for reality.

"unconstitutionally kidnap" - Nope, a political fiction. Most of those being sought have legal extradition orders. And when sanctuary cities refuse to cooperate with ICE and release the wanted who happened to be in custody back into the community, well now ICE has to go into the community to find them. And now we have collateral arrests of other illegals who are in the proximity of the person they are looking forward. Sanctuary city policies put this other people at risk. Want to avoid that, cooperate with ICE and had over a wanted persons who happens to land in city or state custody.

"torture" - Nope, a political fiction. Getting arrested sucks, but its not torture.

"sending them to prisons" - A political misrepresentation. It happening to those who are wanted in their home countries.

Yes, it tells us that there is latency between current events and mass world view being updated sufficiently.

LOL. Trump gained support among legal immigrants, Biden lost support.

Please enumerate what parts of the current "American Way" of mass deportations, ...

Not a thing. A political misrepresentation. Have we reached Obama levels of deportation yet? Also, some of those deportations are collateral of sanctuary city policy. City refuses to hand over someone in their custody for whom there is a legal deportation order, and releases him into the community. ICE then has to go to the community to pick him up, others around him may get caught that way. Want to avoid the collateral, reduce forays into the community, cooperate with ICE regarding those already in custody.

Not a thing. A political misrepresentation. Legitimate foreign aid funding is being transferred from USAID to DOJ.

Please wake up.

You mean "woke up" and mindlessly believe the politically manufactured story lines.

Do you want to really wake up? Wake up to the reality that both sides lie to you in order to manufacture a politically favorable perception. That if either side is telling the truth it is a coincidentally where the truth happen to aligns] with their politics. Until then, you are just in your info silo enjoying the dream, much like your opponents. Different silos with different dreams, neither real. different side of the same coin of zealotry.

"We found him in something that looks like a spaceship." is a material fact, ...

Not a material fact of aliens nor interstellar space travel. Chuck Yeager's X1-A "looks like" a Buck Rogers movie spaceship.

deliberately concealing that fact would have been a fairly obvious intent to deceive.

Where was the infant's origin revealed? They had a wrecked craft with no ID and a human looking infant. I think you are jumping ahead in the story line to Citadel of Power, where presumably he is over 21 and the revelation won't affect his citizenship as described above.

But when he started to lift entire houses, it would have been obvious he was probably not human; deliberately concealing that evidence would also be fraud.

Sure is odd, but how is that evidence of where he was born? I blame the radioactive spider in the barn.

They found a craft with an apparently human infant in it. Where is the evidence of interstellar space travel and such? I think you are jumping ahead in the story line and inserting facts not revealed until much later at the Citadel of Power. Presumably after age 21 where the reveal would not alter the legality of his citizenship according to the above.

... with radioactive pieces of his home planet!

Seems like a crystal to us mere humans.

(unless they were MAGAs and the Trump Admin told them it wasn't a spaceship

Might have been some human sort of craft, atmospheric or space. Where is the interstellar alien proof.

and that the superpowers were because of clean eating or some such shit)

The radioactive spider in the barn bit him. That's where they kept the seemingly ordinary crystal.

it would be obvious that it was "shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have been born in the United States."

How? He appears human not alien. And if one does believe in interstellar aliens then he may be a human abductee whose spaceship crashed during the abduction.

I'm on my third iteration. The last two each got 7-8 years before they no longer received software updates. My 2013 MacBook Pro is running Linux, its reuse saved having to buy a PC laptop for Linux.

Comment Re:Adopted as an infant by US citizens - 100% lega (Score 1) 103

He entered the country illegally. He had no paperwork, no sponsor.

He was a foundling. Abandoned. No documentation regarding parents or his own identity.

From Google: "Foundling adoption refers to the process of legally taking custody of a child who was abandoned or whose parents are unknown, often through a formal process like those used by the New York Foundling, or through informal arrangements. Historically, foundling hospitals and similar institutions cared for these children, and adoption was a way to provide them with a permanent, loving family."

Today [the phrase "the American way" is] just cringe.

To the political zealots.

Are you trolling? Because "the American Way" has been considered a cliche on and off since 1958.

So I think it's well past time to get over it and move on.

And it's a cliche embodying kindness and morality, among many other globally admired traits.
