Donald Trump Won.

[EzyRider]

I love how Conservatives love to pretend they care about children, yet do everything in their power to not only ignore, but support the cause of the leading cause of their death. So disgustingly transparent and fake.

About a month ago I was reading an article in the Wall Street Journal about how Trump's immigration policies might play out economically.

They had a lot of facts and figures so I busted out a calculator to help me understand (yeah, I'm pretty geeky)

One of my takeaways was that roughly 1% or less of immigrants had criminal records according to the stats they provided, and many of these were for non violent stuff (like driving without a license, etc)

A quick internet search turns up this article > https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/und ... tizen-rate
"An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes"


... and silence on the fact that firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens in the U.S.

[exitflagger]

...facts...

according to Harris Faulkner of Fox News.

Yep. Illegals are statistically pretty fucking safe to be around. Not only that, but the overwhelming majority of illegals in the US simply overstayed their VISAs. They didn't swim across the Rio Grande or hop a fence somewhere. The Wall™ is a bullshit symbol of Conservative fear.

I personally can't wait for the Republicans to chuck out all the Mexicans. Watch our food production grind to a halt, maybe starve half of 'em to death.

Any stats yet on the number of Caucasians randomly arrested and thrown into detention camps "just in case they're visa overstayers" vs the number of brown-skinned people?

[Fat_Elvis]

I'm good if it's actually 100.

How about 787.5 million? Like the dollar amount Fox paid to Dominion for deliberately ignoring the facts.

Wat's funny is that the violent criminals from other country's that Trump says he's deporting are basically the same violent criminals from America that he just pardoned.

You know that "deporting" means "giving them a free ride home, paid with your taxes"?

Be nice to criminals. The next home the government will give them a free ride to may be yours....

[exitflagger]

Be nice to criminals.

...they might just become president.

He might be the next person getting a free ride abroad.

This is arguably the single most important aspect of Trump's funding freeze.

The immigration crisis isn't an accident. It's a well-oiled system, facilitated by powerful NGOs—and funded by your tax dollars.

By defunding the NGOs, Trump is crippling the entire system. Chess.

God, you're fucking dumb

Hardly, fucktard.

What do you think it means to declare "chess!" at the end of a statement? I don't think you've posted one original thought on this board. You just parrot other people's views, which is why you are unwilling to engage with others here regarding the substance of what is actually happening nationally.

[Danzig in the Dark]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that the Trump administration froze a $50 million federal disbursement for “condoms in Gaza.”

Wouldn't less Hamas babies be a good thing?

[Sleek]

CHESS!

[Sleek]

Wow! They encountered -47 migrants on Jan 26!

CHESS. MAKE.

What is this chart even? Who "encountered" and what is the context?

[exitflagger]

Submitted for consideration: I am motioning for the mod to change the nym title of Killdumb to either "Trump's Stupid Shit" or "Hardly Fucktard".

With his Go-Go-Gadget fire ladder, I would guess.

There. He's saving some aliens.

This decision was made months ago. That Space X would bring them back in Feb.

[aerozeppelin]

Not for nothing, but why does he have to make a grand announcement about executing the roles of his job? Sensitive snowflake needs praise and admiration for every movement he makes.

Also, he's incapable of making a decision without framing it as "winning," conquering someone else, or insulting someone else. It's really just become a cult of cruelty and spite.

I'm sure you'll think this is a bad call too. lol

If the GOP cared about protecting kids, they wouldn't be depriving them of school lunches in order to redistribute those funds to the wealthy. You're a fraud just like the rest of them.

[Mojo]

Accomplishing more than that muppet Biden ever could. Must bum liberal pussies out to see our country prosper and wars ending.

May I ask you a legitimate question? What is with the Israel fetish on the Right? By all Conservative metrics, they should be hated. They're a small nation, mostly propped up by the United States, requiring decades-long subsistence to stay afloat. By all of the same rhetoric used against Ukraine and any other country receiving entirely un-repaid foreign aid from the US, they are a shithole who should be allowed to fail. But for some reason, the fact that their military is almost entirely US-funded seems not to bother a single one of you. The hypocrisy here is astounding. What gives?

It's not because they love Jews. It's because it's tied to the second coming of Jesus. Now Trump and his cronies don't give two shits about it, but the evangelicals and other religious people on the right sure as fuck do and they kowtow to that voting block:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism

Christian Zionism is a political and religious ideology that, in a Christian context, espouses the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land.[1] Likewise, it holds that the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 was in accordance with biblical prophecies transmitted through the Old Testament: that the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Levant—the eschatological "Gathering of Israel"—is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.[1][2][3] The term began to be used in the mid-20th century, in place of Christian restorationism, as proponents of the ideology rallied behind Zionists in support of a Jewish national homeland.[1][4][5]

Some Christian Zionists interpret the prophetic texts as describing inevitable future events, and these events primarily involve Israel (taken to mean the descendants of the Biblical patriarch Jacob) or Judah (taken to mean the remaining faithful adherents of Judaism). These prophecies are seen as requiring the presence of a Jewish state in the Holy Land, the central part of the lands promised to the Biblical patriarch Abraham in the Covenant of the pieces. This requirement is sometimes interpreted as being fulfilled by the contemporary state of Israel.[105]

Correct. It's all about the rapture, and one of the most important blocks of Trumpy's voting base is hardcore fundie evangelicals who believe in all that stuff and have convinced themselves that Trumpy is God's chosen leader/messenger to lead them through the second coming and save 'Murica from sin and Satan. There's your answer, people.

[Helldogg]

The right is a death cult who loves the idea of the end of the world. They think JAYSUS will take all the good little fascists like the ass suckers on this thread.

Then the get to white heaven where you can own blacks and beat the shit out of women cuz you a man!

Christianity is Islam only with a shiny paint job, same bottom feed morons being led by the rich who sell you crap AND make you eat it.

Anyone supporting Trump just proves the GOPigs gutting of education in this country has guaranteed then lots of useless retards for them to exploit.

So big winning for you Trump loving fucksticks.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are basically the same religion with only some minor differences of interpretation.

But nice to see Trump is getting rid of at least some Nazis

“President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Wednesday instructing all federal agencies to identify civil and criminal authorities available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws,” the New York Post reports.

I need to shut up. His free ride will be home to Karlstad, Sweden where his family came from. That’s way too close to MY home!
