What has Trump done to facilitate the end of the Gaza war he said he end on day one? So far, more weapons and a license for NetanYahoo to do whatever he wants with them, including bombing hospitals and families.
just let Bibi either finish the job or cut all funding outright. The war needs to end and we need to stop funding it. And I don’t care how he ends it - just that it ends.
Worries, in various places and various contexts, about "brain drain" (and/or failure to attract brains) usually seem far too uncertain to cause one tons of concern. Ditto tons of other somewhat distant and very uncertain negative ramifications of things.
But geez, in just the last few days with the Harvard stuff (on top of the earlier stuff), it's awfully easy to wonder, "WHAT bright foreign student in their right mind would want to come to America for school this coming Fall ???"
Ditto other well-educated people coming to work on J-1s or H-1Bs.
.....and lastly, of course, (on the drain side) those finished students and work visa holders asking, "I wonder if it's time to get the hell out of this country ?!"
Many months ago, a J-1 holder from a third world country told me that he was afraid, given the conditions in his country, to go home (that date coming up soon). I don't know him well enough to ask him this question, but many times it has occurred to me, "I wonder if the balance has since tipped as to which country looks less inviting to him?"
What’s the problem with this? It’s fully within their rights to do so.
Do you believe universities issue visas to come to the US? This is a government function. And the government can get criminal records easily. So the only reason for them to ask this of the universities is a show of either loyalty or defiance of an unnecessary request.
And the fact that they want to know who is involved in protesting shows it has nothing to do with lawlessness. Because protesting is legal. It’s what this country used to be founded on.

It’s not worth explaining to Trump or Trumpers. But people with brains in their head can conclude that Trump is destroying one of our strongest export industries. Our universities. Trump is causing international money to cease being spent here while claiming he wants Tariffs to get more international money spent here.
Congratulations to my friends, Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Speaker Dustin Burrows, along with Texas Legislators, for finally passing SCHOOL CHOICE, which I strongly endorsed – this is a gigantic Victory for students and parents in the Great State of Texas! We will very soon be sending Education BACK TO ALL THE STATES, where it belongs. It is our goal to bring Education in the United States to the highest level, one that it has never attained before. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

I guess we all now know whether or not a young Donny thought that Kent State was a bad thing?

Maybe the extra bombing is just site clearance for the condo towers? Remember, he's a real estate GENIUS.
The Arabs (Aye-rabs, for the Trumpers) must be pissed with all the new tariff stuff. With all of those (awesome) trade deals to be negotiated, HOW THE HELL are they going to get on Trump's calendar to sell him the Great Gazan Resettlement Plan that he so-geniusly prompted from them ??
Might it be time to pull JARED from his never-earned-federal-government-retirement to handle it???

I wonder if Jared's $2B deal with the Saudis came with MBS having partial ownership of his wife Ivanka?

As more evidence comes out about the individuals the government has imprisoned in El Salvador, it is becoming clear that relatively few of them are actually gang members or have committed any crimes.
The reason the government is trying to evade the constitutional rights of these men is because they have no proof of their claims. CBS found that 90% have no criminal records. And while there may be some who were criminals who weren’t caught, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that at least half of the men the government is imprisoning at CECOT are completely innocent.

Who cares? Send some illegals to El Salvador as a deterrent. Even if entering illegally is their only crime, sending some to El Salvador prisons would discourage illegal entry since they wouldn’t want to risk it.
Most of our normie Trumpers have left or gone hidden into the weeds on this board. Not surprising because how do you defend Trump and his actions?
So now we are left with the cult like Trumpers fully embracing the autocratic state with Trump doing whatever he sees fit regardless of constitutionality.
What do you think is happening out in the real world? Are normie republicans embracing their new dictator? Are they still making the excuse that they voted Trump just for the economy?

Why not just execute anyone caught breaking the speed limit? It would discourage everyone from speeding.
BREAKING: The United States joined Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger and Sudan in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The resolution, initiated by Luxembourg and Lithuania, was backed by 105 countries.

What are you seeing out there?
MAGA is all in. We WILL not turn back now. As J.C. once so famously said "Alea jacta est."
We have the poise. We have the moxie. We have both at the same crucial time in the history of our once great country, now utterly ruined by globalist woke liberals with their trade deficits and due processes.
MAGA will never retreat in the face of adversity. We are just getting warmed up for the War. We are united and we are strong in our god-given morals. Now WE shall finally reap the rewards promised to us so long ago.
“Trump's Department of Homeland Security has sent a letter to Harvard threatening to revoke its eligibility to enroll international students unless it submits information on international students' disciplinary records and protest participation.”
The same administration says that Harvard must admit students without preference for national origin - that will be hard to do if Harvard is unable to admit international students.
It’s like the whole Trump administration is filled with community college dropouts.

Can we apply the same logic to insurrectionists and serial rapists like Trump?
