Visitor_, what percentage of your monthly income do you donate to our billionaire President Trump?

"Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army."

Why can't Hegseth implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army?

Because Hegseth is a failure at leadership.

"paid themselves"

^
As in, it's their money, they can spend it how they please?

Or do you mean they paid themselves with other people's money, like Elon Musk: "In 2025, his estimated compensation for that year was around $87.75 billion based on the value of his performance awards."

"We could have cut the Islamic cancer at its roots then instead of kicking it down the road."

What actually happened?

Your boy Reagan went behind the United States Government to make a secret deal with the Ayatollah to not release the hostages until Jan 20, 1981.

Later, Reagan sold the Atatollah TOW missiles in exchange for other hostages.

Go on, tell the class how much you blame Reagan and the duplicitous Republicans for where things stand today.

People have been deported for crimes like bouncing checks.
So if he has a criminal record, he can be deported.

But he was old and frail.
Obviously it was more expeditious to simply let nature run its course.
This was a murder.

According to DHS:
"he also had a serial violent criminal rap sheet."

So why didn't we deport him?
???

"Of course the point went over your tiny head."

No, it went over yours.
I asked,
Name any country in the history of the world that has prospered economically thanks to mass deportations.

The reason you can't do that is two-fold.
You have no idea what you're talking about, but that's okay, because you simply don't care that the facts and history disagree with you.

"Econ101 "

I doubt you even took Econ 101.
I'm increasingly doubtful you went to whatever small liberal arts collage was on JeffJ's profile.
You are a profoundly ignorant man.

"Of course the point went over your tiny head."

Your point wasn't big enough to move the needle on GDP.
Unlike like Trump's immigration policy is already costing us 29 to 90 billion dollars in lost revenue.
If you understood that, you wouldn't have thought you were making a good point, but you don't understand that.

"If we have a shortage of job openings as reported in the headline, the more illegal aliens deported translates to a labor market where fewer LEGAL residents are competing for those jobs."

That doesn't make up for any of the jobs lost in tourism or elsewhere.
That doesn't create any new jobs either.
That simply changes who's in the job.
I don't think spending upwards of a hundred thousand dollars per deportee is the best way for America to make sure jobs only go to eligible workers.
You do think spending upwards of a hundred thousand dollars per deportee is good, because this isn't about money for you, it's about finding a target group of people you can be inhumane towards, and gloat about it.

And the fact that you think illegal immigrants are in the running for jobs when jobs are already scarce, well, that just goes to show how economically illiterate you are.

Border Patrol, actually.

Yeah I was worried I might get some TLAs wrong.
Birds of a feather all the same.

All the more reason to deport as many illegal aliens as possible.

You are economically illiterate.
Name any country in the history of the world that has prospered economically thanks to mass deportations.

You didn't come up with the idea that mass deportations is good through study of economics.
Thus, economics won't change your mind about it either.

Regardless, Trump's actions on immigrants and immigration are already costing the tourism industry billions.
"multiple reports projecting losses between $29 billion and $90 billion in lost revenue and GDP"
This is what you voted for.

"American forces struck a civilian highway bridge near Tehran twice on Thursday as Iranian villagers gathered nearby to celebrate the final day of the Persian new year."

This is what I voted for.

"For me, the question is how long can LE be reasonably expected to be responsible for this man's well-being after dropping him off?"

Well the answer to your question is: No time at all.

ICE didn't spend any time at all being responsible for his well being after dropping him off.

ICE has already demonstrated they aren't responsible for the well being of people, while in ICE their custody.

That is 100% self-inflicted and none of your lame deflections are going to change that.

It's 100% self inflicted that Rupert Murdoch ruined trust in the news media?
Okay.
The problem is, you don't actually believe that.

You keep intimating it's somehow The Left's fault that the news media isn't trusted.

When it's quite clearly entities like Fox News, who went to court to defend their Right To Lie, that demonstrates which media shouldn't be trusted to tell the truth. Or Rush Limbaugh, who shared Barack The Magic Negro from coast to coast.

So yeah. It's self inflicted. Just like Charlie Kirk, and Charlie Kirk's assassination, were emblematic of right-wing lies, and the violence the right wing media encourages.

But you aren't able to have that conversation.

Just like you don't have anything to say about Trump's FCC attacking national figures and broadcasters.

I wonder if she cried, or if she's like the Republican men here who aren't able to cry.

They plan to capture and occupy and ethnically cleanse 20% of the total landmass of Lebanon.

I've been saying this is going to happen for years.
This has been happening for decades.

Israel is going to rebuild Eretz Yisrael.
That's what Zionism means.
