  1. The agent saw his gun barrel sticking out of the treeline which would imply he intended to use it on something...

  2. People use the 2nd Amendment to break the law every day. Let's get rid of it as well...

  3. Technically we did during his first term. His tariff war then led to him setting the record for increasing the trade deficit in a four year period.

  4. They were spread out over the nearby area. The agent that saw him wasn't with the President. That's why Trump heard shots but didn't know that they all came from an agent not the shooter. Also, they were using optics to watch the area around the former President. Best they can do on short notice at a low security club like that.

  5. We've relied on illegal immigrants to keep food at least somewhat affordable for many, many decades...Have fun starving. Edit: rent will also go up, not down. Construction will slow to a crawl which will increase demand for housing and thus raise prices. Did you sleep through economics class?

  7. I hope he thanked his Secret Service detail profusely. They saved him despite his ignoring their warnings not to play at such a low security course without giving them time to secure it.

  8. Trump isn't trying to stop anything. He's just working out a deal with Putin to divide up Ukraine's assets between them.

  9. Just remember come reelection time that Chip Roy voted "No" because the bill doesn't cut enough public programs. He want's more Medicaid and SNAP cuts so that the wealthy can have their tax breaks.

  10.  @johnwick-ii6il  No, that nonsense is just bs making it's way around right-wing social media...and trying to bleed it's way onto other platforms. Edit: through paid posters like you.

  11. @TeenisWrangler42069  Under Bush the lesser, 2M were deported and it saw an increase in food and construction prices along with noticeable economic slump. Same with Obama's 3M. Mark the economic effects up for the numbers Trump wants to deport and it will be devastating on top of a just now recovering economy with already high prices. The best example though, is what happened to Georgia years ago when they passed a law that led to ~90% of their illegal population leaving the state. An economic state of emergency ensued, they quickly repealed the law and eventually voted out many of the representatives who pushed it. Despite public opinion having been jubilant that it passed...up until it went into effect. And they didn't even have to pay for deportation etc. The immigrants just left. Towns went under, small businesses as well as agricultural processing plants etc. closed, many citizens lost their jobs, and they had to get prison labor to pick the fields (which was about as effective as you'd imagine forced unexperienced labor to be) because farmers couldn't find citizens willing to do the work. Ridiculous amounts of crops rotted in the fields. It was a nightmare. Now imagine that only at a national level. It's foolish. Especially since those wanting to do it have not even addressed how they plan to mitigate those drawbacks. Not that they can unless they spread deportation out over 12 years or more and dealt with the economic hit slowly and steadily. Even then, it would likely be a permanent hit to the economy.

  12.  @Jilla0559  They can't be bothered to read or research anything. They must be spoon fed their info from Trump, Fox News, and social media bots and paid right wing influencers or ingest no knowledge at all.

  14. As much as I hate to say it, I'm not a fan of opening fire in a residential neighborhood unless it's defense of your life. Still, if he wants to risk it, that's his right.

  15. Yep, because women are too simple minded to be able to hear a narrative and still think for themselves... Gotta protect them from themselves.

  16. @johncostello6006  If wages go up for those jobs, so will prices and inflation (assuming you can find people to even do those jobs), making the wage increases pointless and lessening the purchasing power of everyone. I like to eat and have a roof over my head. If you don't, that's all you. Have fun in one of Trump's proposed government run homeless camps. Also. Slaves are involuntary. Immigrants come here willingly. What we should do, if the majority of us had brains, is save the nightmare of mass deportation, and start a work for citizenship program for those already here. Eventually, immigrants would move up the ladder and expand the country and the economy with new waves coming in. The only way mass deportation makes any sense, considering the insane problems it will cause on both sides, is racism.

  18.  @d_no_allyn_86  You're wrong. They aren't going to do anything of the sort. It's a nonsense campaign promise made for votes. They know mass deportations would be devastating for the economy. Everyone who knows economics and what happened in Georgia many years back knows it.

  19. El Salvador relies on remittances from Salvadoran workers in the US for 24% of their GDP (over $8B/year). If Trump simply threatened to end all work visas for Salvadorans, Garcia would be on a plane in a day. Trump is wilfully defying SCOTUS by not even attempting to facilitate his return and should be impeached.

  20. ​@eddiearmijo6635 A judge overturned that. They're free to go commit more crimes and get arrested to their hearts' content.

  21. Mass deportations combined with counter tariffs on our agricultural exports and whatever craziness RFK Jr. cooks up, are going to devastate the agricultural industry nationwide. Not just Florida.

  27. They were simply wrong and their decision will eventually be overturned by a future court. I guess women will just have to be broodmares until then in some states.

  28.  @tykyfoster7028  If the silly liberals ever get off the "woman's right" argument and put some funding behind the handful of cases based on the 13th amendment argument, SCOTUS will have to overturn it. Such cases have yet to be defeated in the courts but have run out of funding to continue moving up the ladder because the left only wants a gender based argument not a general rights argument.

  29. ​ @fratricidefrank It's part of the perpetual consumer debt model the American automotive industry adopted decades ago. Design and build to survive the first lease only in order to entice the purchase of new models on a regular basis with new leases.

  33. Not really. The Columbian President had already explained why he rejected the flights (They were military and he would not have citizens being returned handcuffed and shackled.) Trump just pitched a hissy fit because his useless advisors never told him that part. The Cilumbian Presidential plane was sent to receive the deportees with proper dignity and it was made clear that any future military flights with handcuffed and shackled Columbians would continue to be refused.

  35. What's worse is their reasons... one faction wants it to take more away from the people, and one wants it to give more to the wealthy.

  38. He refused the flights because they were military flights and the people were handcuffed and shackled. Which was made clear before Trump pitched his hissy fit. A Columbian Presidential plane has been sent to retrieve them in a respectable manner and he made it clear that they will accept repatration flights as long as the people are treated with dignity.

  39. This was not his first attempt. He's been stalking him for quite a while.

  40. Tariffs will make the machines unaffordable. Trump hates farmers with a passion apparently. If RFK Jr. starts making radical regulations on top of everything else, the agricultural industry is doomed.

  44. Roy is blocking it because he wants more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, etc. while another faction is blocking it because they want more tax breaks for the upper brackets... I doubt they're working with the Dems.

  45. ​ @Revjim69 Tariffs are worse because the counter tariffs the countries put on us in return will just further increase the trade deficit on top of raising prices.

  47. ​ @russellblair490 It was a Sunday and Trump usually plays golf there or at Mar-A-Lago at some point on Sundays when he thinks he can fit it in-between campaign stops. His predictability got him.

  48. Foreign companies aren't paying taxes... tariffs are just additional taxes on domestic companies.

  49. If he sticks to his promises, he'll destroy the economy and set the table for WWIII within the next decade. I'd much rather he renig and not make us all suffer. Though that would finally expose him to his base.
