And there’s no way at all sending someone to a country they’re not a citizen of and have never committed a crime in to be imprisoned in that country is legal. That’s the very definition of no due process: imprisonment without trial. But, hey, it’s all good for magaflatearthers. Their motto, of course is _I’m lovin’ it!_ They’re eating up everything their idol dishes out.

I would just explain that one of the criteria ICE used to determine whether someone is a gang member was wearing Chicago Bulls merchandise. Is he OK with someone wearing items from (his favorite sports team) being taken off the streets and sent to indefinite detention in a random country. Is he OK if it was him? Tell him that they would just be protecting the US from criminals and since he is wearing the merchandise he is clearly a criminal and should be imprisoned.

Meanwhile, I have somewhat changed my views on the plane. According to Trump it is being given to the Air Force and not to him. It may cost up to a billion dollars to completely overhaul it and make sure it is secure and this may take several years. I think we should be OK with taking the plane as long as it remains with the Air Force and continues to serve as Air Force One. It is likely it will not be ready in time for Trump to use it but I am sure that he will be happy to know that subsequent presidents can.

Finally, not only is Trump proposing a $5000 payout to mothers for each child, he is also proposing a medal to all mothers who give birth to at least 6 children. You know who else paid mothers to have children and gave them medals based on how many children they had?

Hitler!

I wonder why the Austrian guy.

The Felon Failure guy will likely want some kind of tattoo (if not implant).

Number six! Bonus!

My mother was one of nine, none of the other eight quite reached nine kids. The three of us are perhaps the smallest.

Here’s a story that I find horrifying. They are back to separating kids from parents.

“The mother of a 1-year-old girl was among dozens of Cubans deported from Florida last month. Like others, she was detained at an immigration office after going there for an appointment. Nancy Guan with member station WUSF reports.”

The woman is married to an American and has been living here since 2019, so I’m not sure how this is ok.

Sorry, I can’t get the link to work for the story on NPR.

Not quite right.

This was humor, right?

Trump _happy_? Trump accepting that there will ever be another president? 🤣

In a sane world, Trump would find himself on a plane to The Hague in January 2029, on his way to face trial at the ICC.

That has been tried in Trump’s case.

I’m in favor of a very uncomfortable prison. More humiliating, and the suffering lasts longer.

Sorry, my post was supposed to be sarcasm. I know Trump wants the plane after he leaves office. I just would find it amusing if the Air Force accepts it, he never actually gets to use it and instead sees a Democrat he hates benefitting from his corruption.

About that $200 billion deal with Qatar. Turns about to be a lot, LOT, less. Less than half and even that number is a product of galatic imagination.

It’s been said so it’s the truth. Doesn’t need to be on Jalopnik - white house . gov will have the Real Truth.

Been a while since i priced trip-7’s and I don’t have the funds for 787’s on hand, yet this “deal” strikes me as a bit cheap. Yet Boeing isn’t an imbecile.

I reckon he should keep on issuing commands, missives and changes he wants. SCOTUS will certainly appreciate being usurped by a lunatic who only half-thought of the notions in this and likely knows, well, his favourite phrase of late, “I know nothing. That’s for the supreme court to decide”

If it’s not cognitive decline, he has deliberated certain releases/EO’s/whatever to others. Today I sold some airplanes to the nicest guy ever. So the Tariff’s are working,

Tomorrow or whenever I might meet with Vladimir and that dishevelled Ukranian guy Volodymyr who has no respect. Vladimir Putin respects the USA. So we’ll get some peace.

No, no, no. You’ve forgotten the rules of the game. You don’t deport somone to a country where they have citizenship. In this case, you’d have to deport Big Daddy Leo to, say, San Marino.
