Trump 2.0: MAGAA

[kalm]

I’m sure this will help.

Cry me a river. 2024 the last full year of govt spending. You can talk about this program or that program being ‘cut‘, but govt spending is never cut.
FY 2019 govt spent about 4.4 trillion.
FY 2024 govt spent about 6.8 trillion.

That‘s about a 54% increase, about double the rate of inflation + population growth combined. And doesn‘t matter if you go back 10 or 20 or 30 years. Over 5-10 year periods govt spending always has always grown faster than inflation + population growth combined. So until the left shows me where fed spending that ACTUALLY DECREASES from the year before, their crying of ‘Cuts‘ is nothing more than hot air.

I can make the same argument about billionaires takers who “need” tax cuts. This doesn’t change the fact that healthcare is unaffordable.

[BDKJMU]

Funny how it became more unaffordable after govt got involved.

Funny how it’s more affordable in Norway.

Funny how Norway/Norwegians compared to the US/Americans:
-Has about 1.6% of the population of the US (5.6 million to about 340+ million).
-Is almost all non Hispanic white (80 some percent).
-Has a fraction of the obesity rate of the Fat as Fück USA.
-Get more exercise.
-Eat way less processed foods.
-Eat smaller portions.

And you could substitute any of the other Scandinavian countries (or most European countries for that matter).
Yeah, they pay higher taxes to pay for their their health care. I wouldn’t mind doing that IF the US had the same demographics, diet, and exercise lifestyles as the Scandinavians (well, most Europeans). But hell no with all the fat, lazy, non exercising, high processed foods eating, fat fokers in the USA.

And the obese milkin' welfare.
But God, if you're five foot three and you're three hundred pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds.
Nor for your health care either.

Would trump have shown a video of the atrocities committed by white South Africans during apartheid?

Did he talk about the disparity in wealth, health, land ownership, and crime that still exists in South Africa because of apartheid?

Why is he only telling one, biased side of the story?

[Baldy]

What the hell are you talking about? They were not denied entry into the facility. They were inside for almost two hours and even got to interview detainees and look over the facility. However, it's very interesting that you think Congressional jackasses are so entitled that they have a right to "get physical with" ICE officials if they believe they didn't get their way.

What does "look over the facility" even mean? There is a difference between being given a tour of a facility where the host picks what you see and being able to actually inspect it. Were they given a tour or were they allowed to actually inspect the facility as is their right and responsibility as Congress Critters? Did ICE officers attempt to prevent the Congress Critters from actually inspecting the facility?

trump and his cronies have demonstrated that they can't be trusted to tell the truth anymore than the people who covered up biden's health issues so this isn't as cut and dried as MAQA yahoo qultists want it to be.

If McIver is guilty of assaulting an ICE officer(s) then the January 6 seditionists were guilty of attempted murder of Capitol Police Officers. Some could call McIver a "patriot" and detaining her will make her a "hostage".

Sorry to burst your bubble, but in the several interviews they were so happy to give after their visit, not one complained about being denied access to any part of the facility during their two hour "inspection".

Was the Congressional delegation allowed entry upon arrival or did ICE officials initially deny and then delay their entry?

They were denied and delayed. Why? Did ICE officials time to prepare the facility? "This is a surprise inspection. Great, give us 1-2 hours to prep the facility. We''ll let you know when we're ready and where you can go." Denying and delaying them could be considered obstruction.

Judge scolds DOJ in dismissing ICE facility trespassing charge against Newark mayor

U.S. District Judge Andre Espinosa said the arrest suggested a “worrisome misstep” by the New Jersey’s U.S. attorney’s office, noting the “apparent rush” in bringing the case that culminated in the government’s “embarrassing” retraction of the charge.

He dismissed the complaint against Baraka with prejudice, meaning the charge cannot be brought again.

“Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas,” Espinosa said to the government’s lawyer. “Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all.”

You're trying way too hard. I haven't heard one peep out of them about being delayed or denied access to the facility. Just give it up..let it go. There is no there there.

Nobody really cares what a Biden appointed traffic court judge has to say.

Reps. McIver, Menendez, Watson Coleman Make Unannounced Visit to Elizabeth Detention Center

“Today, we exercised our oversight responsibility to inspect an ICE facility in Elizabeth—and we were denied access and delayed for nearly an hour,” said Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10). “Once inside, we questioned agents and saw the facility, but we still need more answers for our community on ICE activity and raids. The agency’s actions in Newark have threatened and scared people across New Jersey, and we are just getting started in the work to hold ICE accountable and demand answers about the safety of our neighbors.”

Now you have.

Nobody cared what that hack aileen cannon had to say either.

Trump confronts South Africa's Ramaphosa with false claims of white genocide

U.S. President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday with explosive false claims of white genocide and land seizures during a tense White House meeting that was reminiscent of his February ambush of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, but the overwhelming majority of victims are Black.
...
A new land reform law, aimed at redressing the injustices of apartheid, allows for expropriations without compensation when in the public interest, for example if land is lying fallow. No such expropriation has taken place, and any order can be challenged in court.

South African police recorded 26,232 murders nationwide in 2024, with 44 linked to farming communities. Eight of those victims were farmers.
Ramaphosa, sitting in a chair next to Trump and remaining poised, pushed back against his claims.

"If there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you, these three gentlemen would not be here," Ramaphosa said, referring to golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen and billionaire Johann Rupert, all white, who were present in the room.
...
The South African president cited Mandela's example as a peacemaker, but that did not move the U.S. president, whose political base includes white nationalists. The myth of white genocide in South Africa has become a rallying point for the far right in the United States and elsewhere.
...
Later in the meeting, Rupert, the business tycoon, stepped in to back up Ramaphosa, saying that crime was a problem across the board and many Black people were dying too.

Trump endorses idea that Supreme Court ruling blocking his deportations under Alien Enemies Act is ‘illegal’

President Donald Trump endorsed the idea that the United States Supreme Court had placed an “illegal injunction” on him by temporarily blocking his administration’s ability to deport Venezuelans, accused of being gang members, without due process, while litigation on the matter plays out in lower courts.

Tell me you don't understand the US Constitution without telling me you don't understand the US Constitution.

Or maybe it's his mental illness that makes him believe that whatever he wants/likes is legal while whatever he doesn't want/like is illegal. Unfortunately that mental illness appears to be the first one ever that is contagious.

What do polls have to do with trump's lack of understanding of how the Constitution works?

If polls could impact judicial rulings, the 2nd Amendment might be in trouble.

Denmark deserves this for not letting us take Greenland. These are exactly the kind of illegal thugs we need to be deporting. Probably has tattoos and shit too. Hope they send him to Sudan or Libya.

One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. Only a day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four who lived on a family farm in Sturgis, Mississippi. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled to the sterile white seats of a detention shuttle in Tennessee, headed southwest, barely able to wriggle.

It was here, late on April 15, with chains around his belly, hands and ankles, that the Denmark-born man fully realized that what he was experiencing was not a brief disruption from his many years in America—some clerical error that could be unmade in an afternoon’s discussion, or with the swift intervention of a judge.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement transported Kasper to the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, also known as the LaSalle Detention Center, in Jena, Louisiana, with a dozen other detainees. Not sons, not fathers, not husbands, but detainees, “aliens”: in the eyes of the law, that remains his primary designation. ICE deposited him in a facility where he shares a cell with just under 100 other people, cycling in and out, sharing little in common beyond the uncertainty of their future.

Kasper has never been charged with or convicted of any crime. He has not been accused of being a member of MS-13 or Tren de Aragua. What led the government to rip Kasper out of the arms of his family was, to the best of his knowledge, a single document. Form I-751, appropriately clinical, a “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence,” was just one of the endless documents he needed on his decade-plus journey to American citizenship.

Kasper and his wife, Savannah Hobart Eriksen, never submitted that form, which was due all the way back in 2015. She had suffered a stillbirth, losing their first child, and in the days of grief that followed, the deadline slipped right past them. But Kasper’s naturalization continued unimpeded. He corresponded with immigration officials numerous times over the next 10 years, and says agents never warned him that a critical document was missing. He paid taxes each year, reliably contributing a portion of his labor to the nation he already felt a part of.

Together with Savannah, they had four more children. He became a foreman at his job, and as 2025 arrived, he prepared for the final meeting with immigration services to formalize his naturalization and become an American citizen after spending nearly half of his life building a family here.

Savannah left that meeting alone. Kasper’s understanding is that his failure to submit I-751 led to a removal order—one immigration services issued without successfully notifying the Eriksens in 2019. That was 10 years after his first arrival in the U.S., four years after their miscarriage, and six years before he was chained to a seat on a bus in Memphis.

Plenty of videos were shown during apartheid which ended 35 years ago. But you had one form of virulent racism is S Africa against blacks replaced by another form of virulent racism against whites.

30+ years Blacks have been in total control of govt, yet S Africa is arguably not much better off, with flatlined real GDP the last 20 years. Apartheid cannot be used as an excuse forever, and they can’t keep blaming the 7% white part of the population.

You don’t have white leaders currently calling for the killing of blacks like you do black leaders calling for the killing of whites like you do in the 4 1/2 min montage Trump showed.
