Ethnic Cleansing Used to Be Bad
Not Anymore!

President Donald Trump said he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip, potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.​

MAGA.

Maybe the Palestinians should consider making peace with Israel instead of raping and murdering people?

Just a thought.

How to describe and support a genocide without calling it a genocide.

This hate speech is really appalling.

Israel wants to steal gaza, and Trump appears to be well onboard.

Israel wants people to stop raping and murdering them.

I guess there might have been some serious Israeli money 'gifted' to Trump somewhere in this process.

Ugh. The antisemitism never stops.

 

[Toggle Almendro]

If anyone did America like Israel is doing Palestine right now you wouldn't have a Hamas situation. You'd have an "America made them a glow in the dark crater" situation.

And rightly so.

The only reason Israel is getting away with their terrorist ethnic cleansing is because Palestine doesn't have nukes.

This antisemitism is really appalling.

If they did... this wouldn't be happening. At all.

If the Palestinians had nukes, the Palestinians would be immediately destroyed.

Basically your entire argument boils down to "might makes right."

Not even close. He was pointing out that the Palestinians are the actual bad guys.

Should President Trump be added to Mt Rushmore?

“I’m actually filing the legislation as we speak,” Florida’s first Mexican-American congresswoman wrote on X on Friday.”

A Republican congresswoman is calling for the new commander in chief to be carved into the historic Mount Rushmore alongside fellow presidents Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt.

Right-wing pundits are calling for President Trump to be added to the historic monument that currently depicts presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

That's right. Someone has got to pay for those gigantic tax cuts Trump wants to give to the billionaires so it might as well be ordinary people like you and me trying to build a nest egg via buying a home so the home can build equity. The cruelty, greed and heartlessness of the Trump minions seems to have no bottom. No program that helps the little guys is off limits to these greedy bast*rds.

Well, MAGAs we tried to warn you what you were voting for and now your chickens are coming home to roost. You F**k Around, You Find Out, right? (FAFO)

"According to the document, some ideas for funding those tax breaks include eliminating the mortgage home deduction, a popular break for homeowners..."

Paying for Trump's tax cuts could lead to big changes for taxpayers. Here's what could be in store.

Republican lawmakers are floating a range of ideas to pay for an extension of President Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

It will only impact the rich.

Eliminating the mortgage interest deduction is a good idea. I'm 100% on board.

 

[Gatsby]

That would hurt R/E values as well. Glad I no longer have a mortgage but it's still a garbage idea.

It shouldn't be the government's job to prop up real estate values. Another way of saying the same thing is "It would substantially reduce the cost of homeownership."

Remember.

".....two Russian Facebook pages organized dueling rallies in front of the Islamic Da’wah Center of Houston, according to information released by U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican.

Heart of Texas, a Russian-controlled Facebook group that promoted Texas secession, leaned into an image of the state as a land of guns and barbecue and amassed hundreds of thousands of followers. One of their ads on Facebook announced a noon rally on May 21, 2016 to “Stop Islamification of Texas.”

A separate Russian-sponsored group, United Muslims of America, advertised a “Save Islamic Knowledge” rally for the same place and time......."

A Russian Facebook page organized a protest in Texas. A different Russian page launched the counterprotest.

Newly released Facebook ads revealed Wednesday show that two Russian-linked Facebook groups organized opposing protests last year at the same time outside an Islamic center in Houston.

We should be expecting much much worse.



The job of maga to promote threats and violence, no denounce them.

Well, the President of Colombia retweeted the U.S. White House press release. Complete agreement with U.S. including use of military aircraft.

WINNING !!!

What are we waiting for?​

Hell to freeze over.

A tax cut for people with giant mortgages is not a "program that helps the little guys."

 

[Anagram]

Absolutely not. Regardless of one’s feelings on Trump, I am strongly against sitting politicians having those kinds of honors.

Make the case once he is retired and his entire legacy is established, good, bad, or otherwise.

Im not a big fan of Trump, but my thoughts would be the same even about an active President whose actions I had supported 100%.

 

[Gatsby]

Saddam Hussein levels of grandiosity.

 

[Ishm]

Maybe we could wait until Trump actually achieves something special worth celebrating other than holding the whole spineless GOP congress in fear of being primaried? Besides which, that would be one hell of an expensive waste of money for a president who says he is going to cut govt spending??? Can't imagine him cutting his golf trips to pay for it, so maybe he could just cut MedicAid a bunch more instead?

It shouldn't be the government's job to prop up real estate values. Another way of saying the same thing is "It would substantially reduce the cost of homeownership."

Inflated real estate values increase property tax revenues, which increase the cost of homeownership.

 

[Tangmo]

Tough titty for The Columbian President. They get transported out of the USA as our President sees fit.

Trump couldn't as much as get the red state National Guard to do his roundup of unarmed civilians and deport 'em. Which also means MagaMericans wet dreams roundup of "the enemy within" left is a bust already. The armed forces refuse each of 'em and both of 'em. This is related to the fact the USA doesn't have a Constitutional president / commander in chief any more. All the USA has now is a dictator tyrant ruler. For the time being anyway.

 

[Individual]

See how that works folks?

All the pearl clutching can cease now.

WINNING!!!

Update (10:26pm ET): “Just after 10pm ET, and just under 10 hours after Trump lobbed the first shot in the first trade war of his second admin, the White House announced that Colombia had agreed to all of Trump's terms, "including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or dela”

Have to admit, though not a Trump voter I don't disagree with some of his actions.
We, the U.S. being a Nation of laws, not men, should see those elected to government office either enforcing the laws as written or changing them to what they are willing to enforce.
Illegal entry, IMO, should result in immediate incarceration until deportation is arranged. For starters, requests for asylum, or any reason at all should be allowed ONLY at designated locations where legal temporary entry can be allowed or denied.
Do we need an international law agreement to mandate each country must accept the return of its own citizens when deported from another country?

Trump and Fascism: A Pair of Historians Tackle the Big Question​

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/10/29/trump-fascism-historians-00186027

"I think this so-called fascism debate centers on this very issue. How much do we need to be replicating the past in order to call what we’re seeing today fascist? Or do we need to do that at all? Can we just say, well, there is a timeless essence that can be downloaded on any period, and that’s what we’re seeing right now."

An interesting read, thanks.

I still maintain that a policy of violence against idealogical opponents is a key factor that separates fascism from standard authoritarian nationalists like Oban or Farage, and that violence is not there with Trump so far.

DOGE is not an agency.

And @Redress, it's not a repurposing of the USDS, either.

It is an advisory group. Nothing more.

Therefore not something permanent.
