trump has made promises of what he is going to do once he is in office.
So what do you think of them?
First Up…
He has said many times he will pardon those who have been charged with crimes fir their actions of 1/6;2021.
The gang of his followers who attacked the Capital with the intention of stripping the final certification of the 2020 election. An election that had been certified by all 50 states.
A group of trump supporters that had turned into a violent mob that I believe if they had gotten their hands in Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence they would have killed them.
And trump wants to pardon them.
I think it’s wrong but he’ll get it done.

Next we have his promise of mass deportation of migrants. If I remember correctly a court has said he can do it. And apparently some are getting ready to start as soon as Putin’s Puppet gives the word. I’m all for coming up with a plan to handle immigration. But this isn’t the way. Plus any sort of mass deportation will negatively affect the economy. “HUGE ‼️ For everyone doubting Donald Trump and Tom Homan’s plan to actually carry out mass deportations you need to hear this Multiple private prison CEO’s speak during earnings calls - They’re massively scaling up after speaking with ICE about new contracts - MILLIONS of incoming illegal migrants are being made room for in private prisons to be used as temporary detention facilities - They will not lose track of anyone, they’re preparing for “Digital and physical surveillance, things like ankle bracelets and cell phone apps for people who are inside the country going to immigration court hearings” - “We have assured ICE of our capability to rapidly scale up our capabilities to monitor and oversee several hundreds of thousands or even several millions of individuals in order to achieve the federal government's immigration law compliance objectives” “Trump administration is going to put a lot of pressure on police departments, sheriff's offices, city and county governments to cooperate with ICE if someone who's arrested locally happens to be an undocumented person” The scale of this mass deportation operation working with the private prisons is said by the CEO’s is described in the call as “We're heading into an era that we really haven't seen maybe only once or twice in a company's history” The audio from all these calls are in this video, you can listen to it all yourself!” x.com/wallstreetapes/status/1874888763781890312?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwThis will be harder for him to do but my guess he will do some deportations and single out the blue states. |

There has already been talk about the plant raids will start in blue cities, states.. they will be slower to hit the red states' farms etc.
Punish the blue states is their goal. And we hope the blue states have no national disasters. California has already had numerous fires...

They are trying to expand detention facilities in NJ. NEW JERSEY — The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) could add up to 600 more beds to house immigrant detainees in New Jersey, according to records. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in New York sued to obtain documents through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, and discovered that ICE is seeking more detention space in at least two facilities: The 300-bed Elizabeth Contract Detention Facility and the 1,000-bed Albert M. “Bo” Robinson Center (ARC) in Trenton. Both are currently run by private prison companies:CoreCivic and The GEO Group, respectively. This news comes as President-elect Donald J. Trump has promised to order mass deportations when he takes office again next year. Though, as Eric Cruz Morales of the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice told NJ Spotlight, the number of people in detention....... patch.com/new-jersey/across-nj/ice-plans-major-detention-facility-expansion-nj |

For every action there is a reaction… ”BREAKING: Honduras President Xiomara Castro just issued a threat to President Trump, saying she'll shutdown U.S. military bases if he deports Honduran nationals. "Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena, where, without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras." "We hope that the new U.S. administration of democratically elected President Donald Trump will be open to dialogue, constructive and friendly, and will not take unnecessary reprisals against our migrants, who normally make a great contribution to the U.S. economy." Who does this lady think she is? (1) Why do we even have bases in Honduras? and (2) If illegal Honduran aliens make such great contributions to the United States economy, shouldn't she be pleased that they'll be coming back home to contribute there?” x.com/behizytweets/status/1875241327094530364?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Crap is going to rain down on all of us, too soon. We need to be ready to stand up and promote ethical treatment of all. Look the other way and repeat Germany of 1938. No one is saying we should ignore it. Get a grip. I am saying we don’t exactly need another thread. Frankly it gets confusing reading all the different threads and sometimes stuff keeps getting repeated or ignored because it is posted in 3 -5 different threads. I personally like having one ongoing thread. And I repeat, no one said we should ignore it. We want to talk about it, but having numerous threads about the same thing means discussions are disjointed and things get overlooked. And the OP changes thread titles which just adds to the confusion. Absolutely no one said we should look the other way. ETA I find it interesting that you are calling me out saying we need to talk about it. I didn’t recognize your user name or avatar so I peeked at your post history. You post maybe one post ever other week, if that. |

Where was your support for this when 10 million poured over the border illegally? Too little too late. Deportation is the only solution at this point. MILLIONS of incoming illegal migrants are being made room for in private prisons to be used as temporary detention facilities
Better there than in 4 star hotels being given free rooms, food, laundry services for months at the taxpayers expense. Now they can have their free rooms, food and laundry services at the federal governments expense. “Trump administration is going to put a lot of pressure on police departments, sheriff's offices, city and county governments to cooperate with ICE if someone who's arrested locally happens to be an undocumented person”
Good!! And any police departments, sheriff's offices, city and county governments that don’t cooperate because of virtue signaling and fake outrage that illegals are being deported should be arrested too. I hope Trump/Homan makes that happen. This will be harder for him to do but my guess he will do some deportations and single out the blue states.
He will single out the blue states because the blue states are where the sanctuary cities are. That’s just common sense. |

It’s disgraceful, and I am confident that historians will note that he pardoned a group of violent thugs who intended to stop the certification of a free and fair election. There will be no escaping that. Of course, by that time Trump will be long gone. But it does give me some measure of satisfaction that this blanket pardon will be just one of the many reasons why Trump will be labeled at the bottom of the presidential success pile. And there is nothing that he or Musk can do about it. So future generations will be able to see the mess that is about to become the second Trump presidency.

Wait there’s more.. trump has this grand plan to slap tariff’s on imports. And he keeps claiming they will not drive up the price of goods that the consumer pays. But it gets even better. In his own words his justification for tariffs… trump… ”The Tariffs, and Tariffs alone, created this vast wealth for our Country. Then we switched over to Income Tax. We were never so wealthy as during this period. Tariffs will pay off our debt and, MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN!” x.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1875049777186136481?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw Notice how he doesn’t say anything about who actually pays these tariffs. To be clear it will be the consumer when the cost of the goods are raised because of the tariffs.. if he does slap on the tariffs it will be interesting to see how he handle the higher prices consumers will pay because of the tariffs. |

After Johnson was elected Speaker he had some comments. Note the bolded one. And note what the 3 Republican judges did. trump and company plan, along with help from the conservative majority in the Supreme Court to remove regulations. Which are protections for the American People. That “efficiency ” group headed up by 2 billionaires will eliminate as many regulations as they can in the name of “efficiency “. “MIKE JOHNSON MAKES A PLEDGE The Speaker of the House pledges to “DRASTICALLY cut the size and scope” of the federal government. This means less government regulations, red tape, and wasteful spending. The Golden Age Starts Now” & ”Three Republican federal judges struck down net neutrality protections this week, citing the Supreme Court's recent ruling ending Chevron doctrine. Here's why that ruling was a huge power grab by corporate interests.” x.com/rbreich/status/1875708802760073625?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nwx.com/jaredflemingaz/status/1875279446107914465?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Another program dying…
”Johnson vows to end Biden EV policies”
Fun fact. My commute to work took me across the Golden Gate Bridge. And on days when the wind wasn’t blowing you would see this whiskey colored layer sitting on the San Francisco Bay water. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to know that it was the exhaust from the cars and people were breathing it. Even when you can’t see it you are breathing it.
And those against clean renewable energy are ok with that.

Watch that open border from Canada.. TFG is now supposedly claiming the NOLA shooter came across the Canadian border after he was radicalized while visiting the Middle East.. Trump 2024 campaign official Corey Lewandowski defended President-elect Donald Trump for falsely suggesting a man killed over a dozen people in New Orleans after crossing an open border into the United States. During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Howard Kurtz pressed Lewandowski on Trump's false claim. *** "Why, the day after we all learned that the New Orleans mass murderer was an American citizen and had served in the Army, did Donald Trump put this up on Truth Social? 'This is what happens when you have open borders with weak, ineffective, and virtually non-existent leadership,'" Kurtz Wondered. "What has that got to do with the Bourbon Street killer?" "Well, Howie, what we know or what we seem to have known about this individual was, yes, he served in the U.S. military, but he also went overseas, I think, to the Middle East, where many think he was radicalized over there and then came through Canada before he came back into the United States," Lewandowski replied deceptively."So, you know, we have to make sure that we are vigilant of checking everybody coming to this country and making sure we know where they're coming in from," he added. "Even American citizens, look, they have a right to travel. Of course, they do. But making sure that we understand that we're dealing with the mental health crisis that this person clearly had."While being deployed with the U.S. Army, Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar returned from Afghanistan in 2010 with an apparent layover in Canada. Canada does not appear in the FBI's timeline of the New Orleans attack. www.rawstory.com/trump-new-orleans-canada/Random comment: **. Loserdowski is embellishing and gaslighting. It's common knowledge that many US military flights coming back from overseas stop in Gander, Newfoundland-Labrador......... It is a refueling stop.My niece was serving with the 10th Mountain Div and came back from her last deployment in Germany with a fuel stop in Gander before proceeding to Ft Campbell. The airport at Gander was actually a US air base during WWII. And it was used as a safe haven during 9/11 when US airspace was closed off. |

The only ones who benefited from trumps tax cuts were those that made over $350,000. He says nothing about giving a tax cut to those who make under $350,000. He does say no tax on tips. But how many of the middle class and poor get tips. He said at one point no tax on Social Security but nothing abo it that in his rant.
Which means, if I’m reading it right, the vast majority of the middle class and poor get’s nothing but higher prices generated by the tariffs.
”Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back, and make it greater than ever before. We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better - NO TAX ON TIPS. IT WILL ALL BE MADE UP WITH TARIFFS, AND MUCH MORE, FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE U.S. FOR YEARS. Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People. Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
