    Well those in the US who didn't speak out against Gitmo are now seeing indefinite detention of US citizens on US soil.

    Not creating. These ignorant, iliterate, homophobic, misogynistic boors were always there waiting for somebody like Trump, ready for that leader that would praise their stupidity and bigotry and make them into what they think they are-heroes in their own twisted, unlettered minds. MAGA has let the trash off the leash.

    I wonder if he gave an "Amnesty" for overstayers on visa programs where they could leave with no 10 year ban and bring their money/possessions with them, would he get many takers?

    I know a few people who overstayed and now they are in a catch 22 where they can never leave as it would be an automatic ban, some would like to leave but are afraid they would never be able to apply for the visa lottery or any other program so essentially they are trapped into staying illegally or never returning, even for a holiday.

    From my own short stay in America I know I met a few like this, mainly bar trade or construction.

    No, because it would not show him as a strong and authoritative leader, and it would be no fun.

    Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll p1ss on 'em

    That's what the Statue of Bigotry says

    Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death

    and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

    Great song, great album, I have been listening to it quite a bit of late.

    I was watching the black sabbath live stream yesterday and in between bands they showed clips of fans from around the world and the fans I felt sorry for were the Americans with Latino accents

    Notice how those peddling “checks and balances” nonsense which now aged like milk left out in Texan sun have now moved onto “only following orders” excuses

    While Trump is busy finding creative way of making American citizens into “migrants”



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,726 ✭✭✭yagan


    I wonder what escape routes can be developed. It's a long border with Canada and Mexico and ICE will be mostly looking at people entering rather than leaving. Hire a fishing boat in Florida, fly home from Cuba on an Irish passport.

    Merely being critical of Trump has led to people being labelled as potential dangers to National Security. One has to ask if Alligator Alcatraz will be used to re-educate the inmates in the way similar camps have been used in the past. Given the education Miller and the other authors of Plan 2025 plan in it for the future of the U.S. I would not be surprised that they would not use the time the inmates spend there waiting for deportation to do so.

    The way things are going Trump will try and create his on version of The Purge movie using what he sees as illegals and make it a full on reality TV show by the end of his term.

    Winner gets a Golden Green Card that will be revoked just ahead of season 2.

    Ninety deals in ninety days??? The only deals Trump can do are meal deals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,349 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    3 weeks and 4 days to go, 11 days past any Trump optional two weeks deadline. China excluded. I have wondered if China got an inclusive deal with Trump about its students coming to Colleges in the U.S as part of the tariffs relaxation agreement with his team.

    Muak company's rely on government contracts and tax credits musk is the most powerful Private individual in America If he found another political party its probably going to take more votes from the democratic party .Musk has lobbied to change local laws to make it easier to test self driving cars or reduce taxs on his companys

    He has criticized the big bill for it's negative impact it likely to lead to 1000 s of hi tech jobs in the solar 🌬️ wind power industry for no good reason

    Texas is a right 🍗 ng state but it's invested in solar power to provide more cheap power .

    We have seen the flooding disaster in Texas

    Doge has sacked workers from all federal agencys including the agencys that provide a network of satellite data that forecast weather storms and floods

    Doge go,s to an agency and lays off workers even if some of them are highly qualified experts that may be needed as climate change is causin more extreme weather events like floods and wildfires

    As aoc said this bill is the most significant bill in years as it takes medicare from millions of workers and will cause the closure of local hospitals

    America is close to being a police system as tech company's send data to Ice and other agencys to help round up people that deport

    The political situation in America will change as million of middle class workers lose their jobs and these are the people who pay high tax's and local state taxes

    The democrats have no plan what happens when 1000s of middle class voters lose their job to Ai bots

    In ten years time it's possible 1000s of people could lose their jobs as tech improves and trucks become self driving

    its ironic the big bill will hurt the average make working class worker that voted for trump more than anyone else

    @thereiver

    As aoc said this bill is the most significant bill in years as it takes medicare from millions of workers and will cause the closure of local hospitals

    And the best part about it for MAGA Republicans is that they'll get to blame the Democrats for the mess they created if the Democrats win the midterms. The cuts don't kick in until Jan 1, 2027.

    And if the Republicans win those midterms, it either means that the American public don't care or Trump has control of the elections.

    Win-win-win.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,349 ✭✭✭✭aloyisious


    So it is best for the Dems to keep the voters fixated on the history of the Big beautiful Bill and its origin, Trump so they don't suffer voters memory loss and forget Trump proposed and had his deputies in Congress get the bill past scrutiny and all legal barriers. Get the operative dateline for the activation of the Medicaid cuts drummed into the minds of those who will suffer from the cuts and copy/paste every comment Trump makes about the Medicaid ingrates on the internet so he drowns in his swamp.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭thereiver


    The voters might not realize how deep the cuts are. How many millions of workers will lose medicaid. Medicare The way it works it there various complex ways a person will lose medicaid they will have to fill out various forms with work reporting requirements most people will be unable to complete the paperwork People will lose their medical insurance after the elections are over . The average trump voter does not read complex. News articles about a 1000 page bill and it's various effects on tax credits medical insurance and the the national debt .

    Do most voters understand how the 4 trillion increase in the national debt will effect the economy in the next ten years

    A 79 year old toddler who eats McDonald's every day, threatens anyone who doesn't like him, only serves to make him and his associates rich, wants to build golf courses in war torn countries, , wants to hokd a UFC match on the whitehouse lawn, doesn't know how to do the job he was elected to do, doesn't know anything about.....anything .

    He is a **** dumbass. And the people around him are dumbasses,

    How somebody hasn't turned around and told him a he is a **** idiot and to cop on, tells you all you need to know about America.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭thereiver


    I despise trump he only cares about rich people or corporations that donate to the gop but he talks to the public in simple basic language that ordinary people can understand one example I,ll deport illegal immigrants and criminals . The democrats don't seem to be able to find a politician who can talk to ordinary people and propose policy's that will help most people . If course trump said he would not cut medicare which he is doing in the big beautiful bill

    “Olivera’s husband supported Trump in November’s White House election. He told KGTV that Trump’s promises to deport criminals en masse appealed to both him and Cynthia. And, echoing other mixed immigration status families who have had members affected by Trump’s policies, the Oliveras did not believe she would be hurt by her lack of legal US residency.”

    To quote Mr Pink....

    Ordinary people want lies. That is what Trump is proving everyday. It's all about feelings. Facts don't matter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,986 ✭✭✭✭briany


    That guy was right when he said 'facts don't care about your feelings' except he forgot the emphasis. It should have been 'facts don't care about YOUR feelings'.

    People want their views validated and will overlook outrageous big honking lies if they get this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭thereiver


    I think trump is telling the truth most of the time he says I'll impose 100 per cent tariffs

    In a few weeks time its 30 per cent or 10 per cent

    Taco

    He changes his mind every week. he,s always in favor of tax cuts for the rich spend more money on ice deport anyone that's in the wrong place at the wrong time

    Is there anything else I can do to screw up the economy this week or weaken the dollar

    I.m ok I have millions of dollars of trump coin profits

    I don't think ordinary people want lies they want simple policy's they can understand without reading the new York times opinion column

    He never forgets he holds onto grudges against people who mock him

    Who cares about 4 trillion dollars in national debt

    The top 10 per cent in America hold most of the wealth already

    He can change his policies overnight if he feels like it

    We in the midst of a disaster in Texas

    Doge is actually thinking of shutting down Fema

    The agency that deals with floods or disasters

    https://www.axios.com/2025/07/07/jeffrey-epstein-suicide-client-list-trump-administration

    Exclusive: DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no "client list," committed suicide

    So, confirmed that Trump was very definitely on the island.

    The bigger impact might be the siphoning of money from the Republican Party more so than voters.

    It's not wholly dissimilar with an omerta here from the media on the topics impacting most ordinary folks as they say on the ground.

    So Maxwell is in jail for 20 years for trafficking to no one. Surely MAGA won't even buy this one?
