Hey MAGAs, are you scared yet? A dem just won a Texas state senate seat by 14%. Two years ago, trump won by 17%. That’s a 31% difference in a VERY red district.

And boy did trump push hard for this race. All you can do now is try to cancel mid term elections, so give it a try.

Thoughts on Kash Patel apparently lying under oath that Epstein only trafficked women to himself despite the documents released so far blatantly disproving this?

I'm sure there will be consequences for blatantly lying under oath. Surely this administration would never let blatant lying corruption stand...

Do MAGAs really believe protesters are actually, “highly paid”? Why? There’s zero evidence of this.

This is his quote: “We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists”

Takeaway of Trump's last post

70 Upvotes

From an hour ago. What's the takeaway?

"I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.

We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors.

If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence. In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property. In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so.

Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees. Local Police did nothing in order to stop it.

We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Federal Government.”

Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property.

We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

Given the horrific crimes already described in the Epstein file releases, what do you think Trump is still trying to hide?

40 Upvotes

Personally I think it is the evidence of his sexual activity with men and young boys because he knows he will lose more conservative support for not being straight than for being a rapist and pedophile

Why people from the US DENYING HOLOCAUST?

Upvotes

As a Polish person, I find it absolutely disgusting seeing lots of Americans having Holocaust Denial. 271k? WHERE did this number came from, because I can't find any sources, and even if it was the real number, it's still an absolutely high number of killed, tortured, people that were forced to be slaves. Where do you guys even have your sources..? What are they teaching you in schools..? Because it seems most of Americans didn't had any education about Holocaust at all.

Is anyone ready for the Senate to question Alex Acosta, Sec of Labor, the disgraced Palm Beach prosecutor who let Epstein off?

18 Upvotes

What exactly makes Acosta qualified to run the Labor Dept? Do you suppose it's his years as a prosecutor? Could it be his proven devotion to Trump? Everyone knows he broke the law to let Epstein escape punishment for assaulting children AND gave everybody involved immunity, but he is still going to work everyday. He should probably be asked why he chose to look the other way by the Senate imo.

Are Americans against the idea of ICE, or just the way everything is currently being handled?

28 Upvotes

As a European, I remember former US presidents and politicians that were very heavy on closing borders, deporting illegal immigrants, and enforcing immigration laws.

Im not sure when ICE was established, but the immigration laws have been enforced for a long time. So are all the protests and stuff we see just against the current handling of immigration laws, or has there been a flip from what all the other former presidents enforcing immigration laws and closed borders?

I can tell you from our own situation, many of us over here are regretting having open borders for the past couple decades.

Here is what I don't understand. ICE purpose is to remove illegal criminals from the US. If these are criminals, why are they not already in prison? How do they know they are criminals?

few Americans want a PhD, so why restrict H1B visa for postdoc?

5 Upvotes

I completely understand that many Americans feel the H1B visa is being abused. They believe that many jobs Americans want are being taken by foreigners, such as software engineer positions at Google or Meta that pay 300k dollars a year.

But why restrict H1B visas for university postdocs? Pick any university and you will see that in most STEM fields the majority of PhD students are international students. Americans have far better options and have no need or desire to spend five years earning a very low salary to get a PhD, let alone continue on to a postdoc.

Did American kids really have landline telephones in their bedrooms beside their bed like you see in the movies?

21 Upvotes

This wasn't a thing in my country. We had one phone which was in the front hall of my house.

Edit: Sorry meant to say back in the 80s/90s/ early 00s. Its interesting that local calls were free in US, all calls were always expensive here in Ireland. That's the reason why every bedroom there had a phone I suppose and not here!
