The man entered this country illegally, made a fraudulent application for asylum, and is likely gang affiliated. He is under a deportation order. What do you want to do?

The danger from street gangs is very low in El Salvador nowadays. Something about a new President and prison.

The Supreme Court wants us to facilitate his return so he can be deported.

So she is now admitting to perjury in order to gain release of her gangster husband. Beautiful couple.

“El Salvador President Nayib Bukele claimed Monday that he has no ability to send a Maryland man deported to the Central American country back to the US despite a US Supreme Court ruling directing the Trump administration to take “steps to facilitate” his return. “I hope you are not suggesting that I smuggle terrorists into the United States,” Bukele told reporters while sitting alongside President Trump in the Oval Office. “Of course, I’m not going to do it. “The question is preposterous,” Bukele added. “I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”” https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/04/the-case-of-kilmar-abrego-garcia.php

“Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stated Thursday that the U.S. government has uncovered concrete evidence proving that electronic voting machines are vulnerable to vote manipulation. Gabbard made the comments during a cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump, who has made election integrity a central focus of his administration.” https://yournews.com/2025/04/10/3367376/dni-tulsi-gabbard-evidence-confirms-voting-machines-susceptible-to-vote/

Yes, it was caught shipping through Mexico to avoid the tariffs.

I don’t recall.

Hate to use snopes on you, but: ”Trump did use a jet once owned by Epstein to fly to campaign events on the weekend of Aug. 10, 2024. However, Trump does not own the plane, which was chartered by his campaign when his private Boeing 757 developed mechanical issues in Montana. A spokesperson said it was a routine charter and the campaign had been unaware of who previously owned the plane.” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-campaign-jeffrey-epstein-plane/

What an excellent idea - Civics shampoo. And make-up. Water. Energy drinks.

Reports that cargo ships from china turned around and headed back last night, reputedly to get “made in vietnam” and “made in Indonesia” stickers.

He had a goal before he ever announced his candidacy. Though he was stifled a bit by the dimocrat deep state, his resilience maintained through a stolen election and ninety-some felony charges and White House directed investigations. July 13 gave notice to everyone the futility in opposing him - he’s on a mission from God.

GIGO never fails. They weren’t Trump allies, they were State Congressmen. They weren’t fake electors, each state has at least two slates of electors, and in this case they were making themselves readily available to vote should the need arise. The idea that the request was unconstitutional or unlawful is repudiated by the fact that Congress rewrote the procedures post event.

That’s not what happened. Officials from Pennsylvania, and maybe a few other states, and Trump, asked Pence to delay the count for about a week to ten days to allow them to investigate reports of problems in the vote and count. You are consistent in your historical revisions. Like @jross said, you make misrepresentations and then rave about how wrong the thing that never happened was.

There have been signs recently that Xi is falling out of favor, not with the populace, but with the committee. Does anyone think the populace will revolt if he gets removed?

Who’s taller? The GDP growth you speak of was gov’t spending.

It was in jest. Does Al claim that Fordney-McCumber was the real cause of the depression, as @scourge165 does?

Who’s Al Steelman? How many depressions did the Fordney-McCumber tariffs cause?

The tallest midget.

Make America Great Again

The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of stocks even with market participation at a record high Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans held just 1% of all stocks in the third quarter of 2023. Americans broadly have been participating in the stock market at a higher rate, with a record 58% of households owning stocks in 2023, according to the Fed’s Survey of Consumer Finances

Your question has a false premise. The tariffs had a negligible effect on the economy because trade had already fallen off.

Our farmers had been encouraged to utilize the low interest rates to invest in machinery and expanding their operations. European farmers had likewise recovered from the war and were producing more than they needed, so they put tariffs on our agriculture. Our farmers were going broke by 1928. When the Fed started raising interest rates in early 1929, it was to clamp down on the over valuation of the stock market, but it crushed the farmers. Home construction had gone much the same way. By 1928 there were too many houses and home construction jobs vanished. This ravaged the construction materials sector. You want to see a crash? Let the Fed come out and raise interest rates by 50 points, much less the 300 increase of early 1929. By 1932 the Fed had removed one third of the currency from the economy. They’ve failed us again. Much of the loss in the stock market is due to a much expected correction.
