thoughts and prayers for the trump voting folks with undocumented friends/families who are crying their friends/families aren't the ones he's supposed to be deporting

We've moved past tots and pears.

Trump halts $5B EV charger program, Michigan set to lose $110M in funding

I doubt their numbers that "none" are being held there.

I don't. I think there are enough court cases going on they can't lie about this, and I think if the number was nonzero Trump would be shouting from the Teslatops.

But your skepticism about the admin in general is shared, just not in this one detail.

Are you ready for my fresh technical analysis?

Nasdaq to 16,500
SP500 to 4,800
Dow to 35,000
BTC to 69k (nice)

Within the next 3 months.

Lumber price in US is at 30 months high.

Perhaps this is why failed real estate Trump is trying to cut down the national forests for wood. He probably thinks the US would make a lot of money abusing a problem he created.

NO NEW WARS

So why is Donald having the military put together plans to invade Panama?

I mean, I don't think he's going to do it and I know we plan for lots of things that we don't actually do just to have plans in place but...this seems...

Somewhatconcerning.

The fact that he has access to the nuclear codes is more concerning.

Yes. My cope is that nobody would ever actually be dumb enough to launch them and we'd see more people like Stanislav Petrov (Russian nuclear missile operator who disobeyed orders to launch a missile that came in error, but he had no of knowing that at the time).

The Trump administration is expected to invoke a sweeping wartime authority to speed up the president’s mass deportation pledge in the coming days, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.

The little-known 18th-century law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, gives the president tremendous authority to target and remove undocumented immigrants, though legal experts have argued it would face an uphill battle in court.

CNN previously reported that the authority was being widely discussed at several agencies as administration officials prepared to implement the law. The primary target remains Tren de Aragua (TDA), a Venezuelan organized crime group that is now operating in the United States and other countries.

Trump had ordered his administration to designate TDA as a foreign terrorist organization and use the measure to remove those identified.

The announcement, which could come as soon as Friday, has been a moving target as officials finalize the details. The move would likely pave the way for quicker removals of certain immigrants.

CNN reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.

Did you know we are at war? WE ARE AT WAR APPARENTLY!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE NEW WAR THAT WILL SOON START, DONALD

Donald Trump says he thinks US will annex Greenland

Mr Trump questioned Denmark's claim to the territory, saying Denmark was "very far away" from Greenland despite being part of the country's kingdom.

Donald Trump has said he thinks the US will annex Greenland, days after the country's incoming prime minister said: "We don't want to be Americans."

During an Oval Office meeting with NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, the US president was asked about his hopes to annex Greenland.

"I think that will happen," he said. "I didn't give it much thought before, but I'm sitting with a man who could be very instrumental.

"You know Mark, we need that for international security. We have a lot of our favourite players cruising around the coast and we have to be careful."

Mr Trump questioned Denmark's claim to the autonomous territory, saying Denmark was "very far away" from Greenland despite being part of the country's kingdom.

"A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. They say they have rights to it," Mr Trump said. "I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually."

He said the US already has a military presence in Greenland and added: "Maybe you'll see more and more soldiers going there."

It comes after Greenland's centre-right party won an election in a result seen as a rejection of Mr Trump's interference in the island's politics.

The Demokraatit party favours a slow move towards independence from Denmark - with its leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen telling Sky News on the eve of the election "we want to build our own country by ourselves".

In his White House news briefing Mr Trump claimed the election result was very good for the US and said "the person who did the best is a very good person as far as we're concerned."

He previously promised "billions of dollars" in investment and told Greenlanders he would "make you rich".

To quote a post just a few posts above this one...

"NO NEW WARS"

This old man needs retiring already.

Has anyone told him about Guam and Hawaii?

"A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. They say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually."

"They say" is such a handwave when one country is legally responsible for a specific location. I mean, "they say" Trump owns Mar-a-Lago. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually. See how stupid that sounds?

[En Sabah Nur]

I'm sure they don't count. Its only when other countries do it!

[Milchshake]

I remember the big right-wing/chapo meme like a year ago was that all the bros were going to have to go to war because their woke girlfriends made them vote for Harris.


Trump will probably gut all of the ROTC programs. Officiers will have to buy commissions from the king. OCS spots will go for $500k, or streamers with min 40k subscribers.

President Trump is set to visit the Justice Department on Friday to lay out his vision for the department.

"I think we have unbelievable people, and all I'm going to do is set out my vision. It's going to be their vision, really, but it's my ideas," he told reporters at the White House on Thursday.

Donald, making it clear that he does not want an independent DoJ but wants a DoJ that directly answers to him and him alone, at his direction.

[btlcryct]

Funny you mention that, because I had to google it after his claim.

CA to HI = about 2,472 miles
Denmark to Greenland = about 1,662 miles

And WA to AK is pretty much the same distance as Denmark to Greenland at about 1,640 miles. Maybe AK should be the 11th province of Canada instead.

[Draco-Onis]

Yes. My cope is that nobody would ever actually be dumb enough to launch them and we'd see more people like Stanislav Petrov (Russian nuclear missile operator who disobeyed orders to launch a missile that came in error, but he had no of knowing that at the time).

My cope is that those that would are like Hegseth and would be too drunk / high / passed out to be able to do anything other than slur words and nod.

Trump’s Former Spiritual Adviser Indicted for Sexually Abusing a Child
Robert Morris—the televangelist who “spiritually advised” Trump during his 2016 campaign—has been indicted by an Oklahoma grand jury for indecent acts with a 12-year-old girl beginning in the 1980s.





Wait a minute, Michael Moore is huffing loudly. He wants to bothsides this and remind everyone of his 40-year-old beef with Bill Clinton.

Hey, look at that.

It's not a drag queen.

Again.

It's seemingly never actually a drag queen but is frequently youth faith leaders, youth sports leaders etc.

Looks like erasure of Ketchikan and the Inside Passage.

Man, he is really good with words, he knows the bestest of words, no one is as good with the words as him.

If you want to hang around children without raising suspicion, drag queen wouldn't be your first choice. Pastor, youth faith leaders and coaches are the perfect cover.
