    Maybe she wouldn't be paying them "not to work" if they didn't have to worry about being apprehended by masked ICE agents when they did work.

    They all have to go.



    Except the ones that pay a 50% tariff. The ones that work in agriculture and hospitality have to pay a 30% tariff. All within 2 weeks, or the deadline gets extended.

    Sorry, they have to pay 125% tariffs, and surrender their mineral rights. Unless they work in agriculture or hospitality, or in a red state, or for a Trump donor. If they don't pay by August 1st, their rates get increased and they have to pay by July 9th. If this doesn't happen within two weeks, all rates get adjusted.

    Also, I love Trump because he says what he means and means what he says. There's so much winning. Promises made, promises kept.




    Also, pay close attention to all this at all times. Pay no attention to the fact that Donald Trump just pushed a bill that kicked 11.8 million people off Medicaid and gave himself a big tax cut. Don't pay attention to his unethical crypto scam either. He loves America.

    I'm sure Texas will build its own concentration camp and it will be bigger and more awful than Florida's. Abbott and DeSantis are in a race to the bottom.

    Good line from an op-ed I just read, which highlights the absolute and total moral bankruptcy of MAGA.

    I fail to see how you can shout glory to God one minute and laugh about the harsh conditions of Alligator Alcatraz the next.


    Dehumanizing undocumented immigrants; this is the American MAGA reality. I'm wondering what this says about the people who support this?

    While it did happen during the Biden Administration keep in mind that critics of the Border Patrol's treatment of migrants under Biden would have preferred that they remain in Mexico under similar inhumane conditions. There is also a difference between migrants who have recently crossed the border and those who have been apprehended and placed in facilities in Trump's gulag like Alligator Alcatraz after having lived in the US for an extended period of time, are employed, have committed no crimes and have citizen spouses and children.

    Someone is making a lot of money off of these camps.
