    But we are a third world country… Last month there were churches all over the world raising money to help feed American children while our government was shut down and couldn’t help cover subsidies for food.

    Make it make sense 🤡🌎

      Third world means “brown people country” to him, that’s how it makes sense for them. Almost every question about why this administration does or says anything can be answered with “racism” or “pedofilia”.

    Does this whole scenario seem sus to anyone else? There was NOTHING about this on Wednesday and by the time I saw reporting on Thursday they’d already resolved thr situation, somehow captured the guy without killing him (he’s got the wrong skin colour to be captured alive), and spun the whole thing into their typical escalation of anti-immigrant rhetoric.

    Am I slow in hearing about this, or did they work with this formar governmental collaborator? Seems like a false flag?

      Sadly everything that’s happening during this administration is highly questionable, even if it’s 100% legit it will always come with a shitload of questions.

      Yeah that would be ending it, stopping it, banning it. Permanently pause is weasel language that they like to complain about.

          for the same reason the Jews had a hard time fleeing Germany.

          All that being said I’m very happy for you that you were able to get out. Good luck I’m hoping the best for you.

      I live in a poor war-torn country. We don’t have many immigrants but those immigrants who still come to us (our education is miraculously still not destroyed by our esteemed masters) are behaving nice. The “secret” is obvious: let students, engineers, etc in and keep bandits out.

        But they can’t add skin colour requirements yet, hence - no immigration for all.

    Does he even have that power? I feel that’s a very important question that no one is asking.

      Who is going to stop him? Congress aint doing shit. Maybe the courts will rule against them but who is going to enforce the ruling?

      Per all his bullshit. He can get a little done until the courts stop him, then endless legal battles. He has no real policy and it all can be erased by the next admin.

        Then he can keep doing it even if the court blocks it because “defies court order” is the most common phrase proceeding “Trump DOJ”.

        In the same way that I can resume making a desk that i began carving 3 years ago, after running my wood chipper continuously for the last 3 years, destroying all of my lumber. It’s not just building the table, it’s finding new sources for materials, motivation, resetting tools, remembering plans. He’s loaded president 48 with labors. None of them Herculean but all of them frustrating and time consuming.

      It’s a question that doesn’t matter, since he doesn’t give a shit and nobody is stopping him.

      Of course it was. Just like all previous attempts to get the American people angry enough to revolt. They’ll keep doing it until they have enough justification to issue complete nation wide martial law. The end goal here is to get the country to the point where the administration and republican party decides that holding elections are “unsafe” until “all this blows over” thus granting the cheeto a third term. It’s about solidify power for the next several decades.

      Someone read the Watchmen and took it as a playbook.

        That would certainly explain why the administration leaned so heavily on Zelenskyy to allow for elections. It wasn’t (only?) because Putin told them to, but also because the obvious refusal would serve as later explanation for the potential indefinite delay in voting in America.
