Emerging story from the early days of the Trump immigration crackdown is that it is all a very expensive show for the M#GA acolytes and right wing media. ICE and border patrol have not received any new funding and have no capacity to expand their enforcement operations. So, Trump has been diverting enforcement officers from other agencies to assist ICE. But all those additional resources are being used to stage showy raids for the media and have not resulted in any mass rounds ups of undocumented migrants. A slew of business interests have lobbied Trump heavily to make sure that ICE stays away from their workforce (this includes rich Trump friends who live in the Hamptons who actually got assurances from local law enforcement that no one would be rounding up their maids, nannies and grounds keepers.

the times broke down the fake $59m hotel story. for the reality-based community it's worth reading. In a nutshell, it wasn't FEMA money but was administered by FEMA, it was appropriate specifically by congress, it wasn't luxury hotels, it wasn't hidden, congress said it had to be spent, etc.
for trumpies, go back to your cartoons and memes. You'll be more angry that way and you like anger. Yesterday one of you said he trusts repyblican senators more than the NYT. So go listen to them.

Did Dump have a stroke recently, or was it during his first term? The right side of his face is drooping.

Rumored to have happened during 2024. He disappeared for ten days around the end of June 2024 into July and the rumor was a stroke, then a stent put in.

We can settle this with facts. I'll name a list of Trump insiders convicted of crimes. If you can make an equal length list of Biden insiders convicted of crimes, then Biden is more criminal. Must be insiders only. Here is an incomplete list. More can be produced, but there probably won't be a need.
Paul Manifort
Rick Gates
Michael Flynn
Peter Navarro
Tom Barrack
Roger Stone
Rick Gates
Elliot Broidy
George Nader
Steve Bannon
Allen Weiselberg
George Papadopoulos
The Lawyers:
Michael Cohen
Rudy Giuliani
Sydney Powell
Kenneth Chesebro
Jenna Ellis
No takers?
I forgot the man himself. Indicted on 80+ separate criminal actions, 3 different jurisdictions, convicted of 34 felonies and adjudicated for sexual assault and libel. Company convicted of fraud. Oh, and Impeached twice.
Biden indictments, convictions, impeachments? zero.

Example of Trump getting played like a fiddle by flattery from a king or dictator he desperately wants to emulate. King of Jordan now dictates his terms and tells Trump he wins. Trump claims he wins. Different day, same story.

Trump wants everyone to believe if you oppose all Trumps unlawfulness then you are pro corruption.
Stupid? Yes
Are Americans stupid enough to buy it? Yes.
TRUMP: “It seems hard to believe judges want to try and stop us from looking for corruption...it seems hard to believe a judge could say 'We don’t want you to do that.' Well, so maybe we have to look at the judges because that’s very serious—I think it’s a very serious violation”

Let me this straight. Adolf Von Fatazz has banned news outlets like the Associated Press because they still have Gulf of Mexico as their destination for the Gulf of Mexico?
How do you Normie Trump voters defend this stuff?

It’s disappointing that libs are against exposing government waste. They think it is “their” money, not the taxpayers.

The first one rejecting the birthright citizenship EO was a Reagan appointee who called it
“blatantly unconstitutional”.-CONCORD, N.H. -- A third federal judge on Monday blocked President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of people who are in the U.S. illegally.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Joseph N. Laplante in New Hampshire comes after two similar rulings by judges in Seattle and Maryland last week.
Laplante, who was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush, said he wasn't persuaded by the Trump administration's defense of the executive order. -abc7ny.com-Alberto Gonzales, attorney general in Republican President George W. Bush's administration, told NBC News: "To willfully ignore the courts could be grounds for impeachment in my judgment — or at least public condemnation and congressional censure." - NBCNews.com
The list goes on, but you won't read it or believe facts.

538 is garbage. Nate Silver is garbage too.
They both aggregate inaccurate/leftist polls and ignore the polls that don't confirm their lib bias.
The People's Pundit, Rich Baris, is the top pollster in the business.
Thanks for playing.

Sounds like you have a double standard.

Jordan is heavily reliant on the US for financial aid and for sale of military equipment. Jordan is the dumping ground for conflict refugees in the Middle East. There are huge refugee camps full of Palestinians and Syrians. Trump blocking USAID funds has already put Jordan in a bind and a complete cut of of US support for Jordan has the potential to crash Jordan's very frail economy because of all the money Jordan spends hosting refugees. So, Abdullah has to kiss Trump butt or face a revolution at home.
He is also playing up Trump in hopes that he, MBS, Al SiSi and the Emiratis can get through to Trump and pull him back from loading Palestinians in Gaza into box cars on trains to move them to camps in the Negev desert. Even Trump will have to admit that it would not be a good look for Israel.

Well, he is an authoritarian, dictator, fascist king puppet who only answers to oligarchs, Putin, Nazis and Jews (or so I’ve heard).
