Trump's Second Term

[bruto]

The only reason I am responding is to clarify that I am not a she. It's in my profile. I use the name of one of the main characters (a talking Cat) in my novels as my username.

I'm sure the plan will be well-thought-out and there will be safeguards in place to protect the civil and constitutional rights . . .

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

It's Trump and possibly xtian crusader/nationalist and tv presenter Pete Hegseth. They're gonna round up all the brown people they can find and never sort it out later. Coming soon to a farm, orchard, distribution center and construction site near you.

I can see how some personal or family issue could influence staying in the party. Say, if your father had been well known politician, or if it's of vital importance to some other loved one. Not my problem. I grew up with fairly left wing parents, and my mom was a long time friend of Adlai Stevenson as well as of Ella Grasso and Abe Ribicoff, etc., and my late sister marched with John Lewis and Gloria Richardson, but if the D party went as nuts as the R party has, I'd drop them as fast as my Mayflower-descended grandmother dropped the DAR in 1939, and expect my mom would too if she were still alive. But I'm not you, etc.

As for the immigration roundup issue, though it's distant, and I hope far fetched, this whole business worries the hell out of some of us here. My wife, even though she's almost 70 and has been a citizen for decades, gets nervous when Trump and his toadies start talking about retroactive de-naturalization. My family is full of South and Central Americans as well as Cubans, some in Georgia and Texas. Yeah, nothing to worry about, it could never happen here, move along.

The Trump administration’s next target: naturalized US citizens

Scaremongering: you know that will only be applied to those that don't look right or have a funny accent!

I think it's imminent.

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday confirmed he would declare a national emergency to carry out his campaign promise of mass deportations of migrants living in the U.S. without legal permission.

Overnight, Trump responded to a social media post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who said earlier this month there are reports the incoming administration is preparing such a declaration and to use "military assets" to deport the migrants.

“TRUE!!!” Trump wrote.
Trump pledged to get started on mass deportations as soon as he enters office. "On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out ," he said during a rally at Madison Square Garden in the closing days of the presidential race. "I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible."

Sounds like Project 2025 and Nosferatu Miller to me. As far as I know, there are no adults in the room to hinder him, much less stop him.

Trump defence pick paid accuser to save Fox News job, but denies claim

Pete Hegseth maintains he is innocent and says the sexual encounter in 2017 was consensual.

President-elect Donald Trump's pick to serve as defence secretary paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault to stay quiet so he would not risk losing his job at Fox News, his lawyer has told the BBC's US partner CBS News.

He seems to be assembling an all sex offender line-up. With him leading off.

Party of christian/familyvalues. Party of law and order.

What a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ joke. And people fell for this crap.

One can order the army around anywhere....because the military has unlimited funds?

Who/what will stop him? Besides, his tariffs will pay for everything.

The regular army uses barracs and such. You have to house, feed, transport the troops

 

[Orphia Nay]

"Good Republicans" might turn in those nasty immigrants and save the military some work. Elon might even set up a website with rewards for turning them in.

Ugh, I hate to think about it.

Most large (blue) cities --where the deportations will likely begin-- have large stadiums that can be converted to housing for the occupying troops. I'm just spitballing here; one can be sure Trump doesn't give a ◊◊◊◊ about the logistics, he'll just order it and let Hegsbert or whatever his name is deal with the chaos. And this is Trump, so there will be chaos.

They'll need to add the White House to the DC sex offenders registry. Trump himself should qualify for at lease Class B "Assault (unwanted sexual touching)".

Lots of appeal for the kind of people who dream of revenging themselves of imaginary grievances on people made deliberately defenceless, all the while glorifying themselves by claiming patriotism.

Well put.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Why not just put the soldiers in to people's houses?

I am sure many of them have a spare room they will be willing to let the army use in their patriotic campaign.

It they're willing, according to the 3rd amendment. Or in times of war, which Trump will claim this is.

Here we go:
Trump has announced that his administration is preparing to declare a national emergency and plans to use the military to implement a mass deportation program.

The Party is passing legislation to outlaw pro-choice speech. They are passing laws in Texas to make websites illegal. I've been assured, though, that it isn't fascism....

Well, Musk made a great fuss about protecting free speech when he bought Twitter, so I'm confident he'll strongly object to the idea of the government suppressing pro-choice speech. No doubt he'll use his influence to put a stop to these sorts of laws.

Right?
