Color me shocked: another area they legally can't take action, but they did it anyway. Completely lawless administration.

Any minute now, the "law and order" crew will chime in though, lol

It really is straight from the Cultural Revolution. Trump Zedong. That TimesofIndia article (facetiously?) suggesting Musk could learn from Mao predates all this. It said something like "of course, he isn't going to send his goons into the Department of Agriculture and forcibly take everything over". Um...well...

Let's make a deal.
You can kick them out of College and force them into the military.
If you do but one thing with them.
Teach them to kill fascists like their great grand fathers.
Speaking of the military—I don’t see recruitment getting better. I see anti-DEI making recruitment a lot worse, unless they’re forced to lower their standards and hire Nazi trash.


(In case anyone’s wondering, these clubs were always inclusive to all recruits regardless of gender, orientation or race. No one was excluded.)

Judge issued a TRO barring DOGE from access to Bureau of Fiscal Services systems and ordered them to destroy any and all copies of data they may have.

Ok that's great and all...but laws, court rulings don't mean SHIT anymore unless there is enforcement.

Who's going to enforce this? Would love to be wrong but 50/50 that Elon just ignores this because "the people mandated govt reforms."

So far they are trying to game the system by interpreting the court orders absurdly narrowly. Which indicates they are still worried about potential consequences. Only a matter of time till judges get fed up start putting people in jail for contempt.

Now is this a precursor to a serious attempt to go after Biden (as in, put him in jail) perhaps the start of an attempt to suppress political opposition entirely...or is it just typical random entirely-personal pettiness from Trump?
Pettiness since Biden did it to him in 2021. And I’m assuming he did it to Obama before.

If he's going to refuse to listen or enforce things, then courts will escalate. And if he continues to not listen, well, use your imagination about outsider actions that people might start taking.

Well the Trump administration has just gotten multiple unfavorable rulings for basically getting rid of usaid, giving Doge access to the treasury and classified information, and something else. And something else. now is when we find out how this works out.

Let's see if the foxes actually run the hen house security

Trump is unhappy his deportation numbers are not higher


They like to throw around a 14 million number of undocumented immigrants. well 14,000,000 divided by 1,100 a day is 12,727 days, and that is 34.9 years IF they reach that 1,100 every day of the year number. At millions in cost. Trump can't even be competent at his main fascist promise.

Maybe it's because they fucking lied about the number of illegal immigrants in the US. Shocker!

I wonder if Hitler also lost patience with Adolf Eichmann for not deporting enough Jews to the death camps? Trump doesn't really care about the real numbers, he wants Homan to lie, of course. Add some zeros Tommy!!! It's 15,000 a day not 1500.

Notice no raids in/on Russian communities in say, Sunny Isles Beach FL (Next door to me) or Brighton Beach. None on the Irish immigrant communities of Boston. No European immigrant communities raided.

Trump always overpromises and underdelivers. That's the kind of "businessman" he has always been. Just ask Stormy.

Since Jan 20, it's come to one attention that we are slow boiling past the point that "democracy" can fix what's gone haywire.

Oh it’s much worse than that. Vance is married to an Indian American. This kid literally tweeted “normalize Indian hate” in response to a racist post about Indian Americans.

"So you're ok with racism in you're party?"

Well duh!. Before long, Americans will be asked to prove their white background.

If he wants big numbers , he should stop focussing on blue states. Better yet, just stop the bullshit all together.

No I think the actual number of illegals is much higher (due to overstays) but not everyone is a violent criminal.

However you can't say Trump and MAGA are totally making a mountain out of a mole hill..


People saw the same things happening and they voted to punish the dems who got the "soft on crime" tag thanks to the DEFUND THE POLICE!

C'mon dude.. you live next to them.. how many illegals do you see everyday, can you put a count on it?

And if you somehow have an accurate estimate of how many crossed the border illegally.. that still doesn't come close to those that got here on visas and overstayed just like Elon Musk.

Still think I'm undercounting??

How do you know if they are illegal by just seeing them?

What's the number your MAGA crew thinks is the real one is all I'm asking.

unlike you I'm not a xenophobic racist, so no, I don't see illegals everywhere I look, so I got nothing in response to your question.
