He's trying to ban birthright citizenship on the grounds that Barron Trump was born four months before Melania got citizenship or this is just another distraction.

They're petrified when their lies are challenged so they go into bark mode. They go out of their way to stack the media pool with propagandists that give them a soft time and make it look like they're still dealing with the issues of the day. But they can't completely saturate the pool with their sycophants and every so often an uncomfortable question is put to them and they lose their shite.

Everything about the modern right is a lie and it takes an inordinate amount of time and energy to maintain those lies. But the US media is failing the public time and time again. Part of the problem, however, lays in the fact that various media orgs over there are completely private functions and they need copy in order to survive, and in today's world with a constant 24 hour news cycle that has to remain current and "entertaining", someone like Trump and the current crazies in the White House are a god send, so they all tend to go easy on him.

If the media over there functioned they way they're supposed to, Trump et al would be getting continually torn apart over their lying, every single day.

Next on the chopping block, or coming to Alligator Alcatraz soon, naturalized citizens who have them citizenship revoked. Elon best keep his mouth shut about the big beautiful bill!

Akrasia

So basically anyone they choose can be stripped of their citizenship on the basis of an accusation

America is, in the words of Trump himself 'a shithole country' now

The complaining about the toughening of US immigration rules across the board is a little nauseating coming from a country that has allowed immigration run out of control.

I suspect there are a lot of Irish people who would welcome just a fraction of the approach the US has traditionally taken to the immigration of those in to the US who would not be considered an asset to the country, never mind what the Trump administration is doing.

It's just the usual Trump bashing.

Nauseating?

They moved onto citizens now ffs

The debt is massive about 15 per cent of tax's go,s to pay the debt every year .the new beautiful bill gives the rich big tax breaks .The dollars value is falling This bill looks like it was written by putin to destroy the American economy it takes away tax breaks for solar power green energy while ai uses a tremendous amount of water and power it adds new taxs to green energy if it uses any parts or chips from china

It adds 4 trillion. Dollars in debt it removes 9 million adults from medicare in a clever way working adults will need. To fill out overly complex forms to try and hold onto medicare 100s of hospitals will close as they rely on Medicare patients This bill is an attack on the middle class and working class economys mmove in cycles Ai threatens millions of jobs.

If there's a recession America could be caught in a debt doom cycle as increasing amounted of tax. Gos to pay the national debt

The green energy sector is booming in America 1000s of jobs are at risk of all government grants are **** down over night we are seeing record high temps hot weather in the last few weeks This bill is the dream of the most extreme rich conservative who only loves the rich

I don't think most people would support such broad criteria to remove citizenship from people. I'd also put money on it being very specific demographics that are targeted. It's pretty telling that GOP supporters are trying to get Mamdani's citizenship revoked. Meanwhile he's selling citizenship to the highest bidders at the same time.

thatsdaft

I hope the dumbasses who spend 5 million on Trump golden citizenship don’t realise that the precedent has been set and their own citizenship be revoked (after spending millions) and send to likes of El Salvador under the next president

Unless they willing to bet there is no president, in which case us citizenship means **** all anyways

"Cuban man who lived in the U.S for 60 years dies in ICE detention in Miami."

Do you know what's actually nauseating? The likes of you condoning this barbarism. Or how about the pregnant woman who lost her baby while in custody. Are you enjoying the cruelty of it all? And no, there aren't a "lot of Irish people who would welcome a fraction" of this. Maybe you need reminding how many anti-immigration candidates were elected in the last GE.

All of this looks like it was done to undermine the fabric of American society. He's hobbling the country little by little by a thousand cuts. There is no way any of this is making America "Great"

https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2025/06/27/us_hurricane_satellite_data_to_stop/

"If you were running the US government on behalf of Russian interests, this is exactly the kind of move you’d make: degrade critical civilian infrastructure, hobble disaster preparedness, and do it under the thinnest bureaucratic excuse possible. Cutting off high-value satellite data during hurricane season, with no replacement and zero transparency, isn’t just negligent - it’s hostile."

The US Department of Defense is cutting off data from USAF weather satellites which can give 3D views of storms.

I predict a disaster there,ll be a wildfire or a flood hurricane that of course the weakened federal infrastructure and emergency services will not be ready to deal with a serious disaster. All federal agencys are experiencing layoffs even the weather satellite monitor services.

The ol "it is just Trump bashing", you are in favour of citizens of the US being rounded up like cattle? You like this dehumanizing stragegy?

That is rather sick.

Not in the slightest bit sorry for them.

They saw him in his previous term and knew what he was. They were amply warned by many as to what he would be and just choose to ignore. Those of them that have been there for a few years thought they would be safe, and were more than happy to pull up the drawbridge to stop other Latinos entering. And those of Irish descent who voted for him in large numbers were no better.

Like leaving the E.U. that is going to happen any day now when you see the large numbers who voted in favour of that hard right approach in the recent local and general election.

If you actually live in Ireland you do not get out much do you ?

I can’t help but wonder is the post meant to be signalling to his followers that he takes religion remotely seriously, or is it just a means to knock a dollar or two off AT&T share price in order to further his own business interests without explicitly saying so. At the same time I’m thinking it’s entirely plausible that he just doesn’t know how to use the Cisco networking equipment provided, ie - a phone 😒

Context though. The media keep asking them about it and Trump doesn't need to be asked twice to waffle on.

I remember trying to discuss the issue with a Trump fan here previously.

I said that Trump made no distribution between illegal and legal immigrants. They tried to argue otherwise, but walked away when I provided quotes that backed up what I said.

We are on a direct and prompt march towards the deportation of any non white Christian people.

This timeline is a f**king joke

Presidents are not supposed to be making money from the office they hold. How the hell is he still getting away with blatant grifting like this.

Why is there nobody in the party calling this out for the embarrassment that it is to the seat of the Presidency.

I mean, this really shows that for all the dislike towards Pence, he actually did something really courageous in putting the Constitution and Country before the party.

That was the last act of a Republican who believed in America for all the people.

dogbert27

There will be serious damages coming from the hurricane season and any fallout won't stick with Trump.

He'll blame the governors and mayors like he did with Los Angeles and the wild fires. He'll blame the Biden administration.

If it's a blue state he'll delay the support funding and nothing will go against him.

It's happened already and it will happen again and it doesn't matter the loss of life or infrastructure. It won't stick to him.

But he'll turn up at some point again with Melania in her stupid designer fatigues and start throwing toilet paper at people and the MAGA crowd will lose their sxxt at how great a front line leader they have.

I'm really hoping what Scaramuci says here comes to pass and it's a case of just waiting Trump out until the mid-terms but unfortunately he's also correct in his assessment of the Democrats and something people have said here too, they're too fractured to put up a unified fight.

Also, it was interesting to hear about 4:30 on how Trump knows his base and everything Trump says and does is for his base.
