It's telling that this case has been filed in the US and not in the UK.

A just resolution would find in favor of President Trump, but only award one dollar.

Serious question:

After all that is known about President Trump, how is it possible to defame him?

Not much point in hunting the culprits down if ultimately President Trump will simply pardon them.

"a stupid and meaningless publicity stunt" MAN!

"Trump's hidden agenda is to rebuild the White House; he just can't tell anyone his real plans so he starts with knocking down the East Wing. Now he's arguing with the architect about plans for what is to be rebuilt there. He probably wants to include more office space, conference rooms, etc. Then, once that's done, he will announce that he's moving West Wing operations to the new addition and tearing down the West Wing.
He doesn't plan on leaving the presidency.

Instead of building a huge ballroom, replace the missing East Wing with a new/modernized East Wing with one exception:
incorporate a small incarceration facility.
If/when President Trump is sentenced to a prison term, he can be imprisoned in that incarceration facility.
That way President Trump can have his wish to remain at the White House! Heck, toss in the gold toilet to sweeten the deal!

Serious questions:
1. How many people have been arrested so far?
2. How many of those arrested were MISTAKENLY arrested?
3. How much was spent to arrest the ones properly arrested (IOW: what is the cost/arrested person)?

BOTTOM LINE:
Do any of the answers to these three questions even remotely approach what was promised over a year ago?

LAME is an appropriate description of what we have had since noon on January 20, 2025.

I'd like to find out how a MAGA individual would define MAGA!
- M: MAKE: uh huh. How would that be done?
- A: AMERICA: presumably they mean the United States.
- G: GREAT: what would they consider to be great?
- A: AGAIN: when exactly was America great and when did it become "not great"?

"Foreign Gifts
Minimal Value for Foreign Gifts: $480.00
5 U.S.C. 7342 requires the Administrator of General Services, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to redefine every three years the definition for "minimal value" of a foreign gift, based on changes in the consumer price index for the immediately preceding three years. The implementing regulation is 41 CFR 102-42, "Utilization, Donation, and Disposal of Foreign Gifts and Decorations."

The current minimal value of $480 was defined in Federal Management Regulation (FMR) Bulletin B-54 Foreign Gift and Decoration Minimal Value [PDF - 100 KB], dated April 25, 2023."

I still have my Apple II. Originally it came with 48K of memory. Spent a fortune (hundreds of 1980 dollars!) to add 16K to get a "full" 64K of memory. One had to become skilled in assembly language (or even machine language: hexadecimal!) to make good use of that small quantity of RAM.

Seems like the $787M payment Fox News had to pay somehow wasn't enough.

"So he was ONLY advocating firing a shotgun through a door, INSTEAD of firing an AR15, to "keep someone away from your house". And you are okay with that?
#32 | POSTED BY MIRANDA7 AT 2025-11-10 09:49 AM"

It's a toss-up whether your statement is a non sequitur or a strawman, since he did not advocate firing a shotgun through a door. I'd suggest a more thorough reading of what VP Biden actually did say rather than forming opinions based on your speculations on what you thought VP Biden meant.

OTOH, if you're just opening a new topic with your question: no, I am not OK with that.

"The "salient point" is a matter of opinion. The reckless suggestion that a homeowner fire a shotgun through a door (under any circumstances, in any context) obliterates any other point he was trying to make.
#30 | POSTED BY MIRANDA7 AT 2025-11-10 07:37 AM"

That would be a point IF VP Biden suggested one SHOULD fire a shotgun through a door. Since he only claimed that firing his shotgun through a door would do better than an AR-15 to keep someone away from your house.

So what was posted was a selectively edited quote which left off the salient point. The full quote indicates it was a comparison between the effectiveness of a shotgun vs an AR-15.

Partial quotes are more properly indicated by a preceding " ... " to indicate that there is something before the indicated quote.

BINGO!

Meanwhile, if the sandwich tossing becomes a ubiquitous problem, a smart administration would gather the food for the hungry.

Another thought:
How about a Dunk Tank? I suspect that would bring in LOTS of $$$.

"The runners are just people trying to make ends meet, so killing them does not result harm to the cartels in terms of "skilled" human resources.
It's easy to assume the cartels will recruit through coercion when cash doesn't work.
I've always doubted that the U.S. strikes are much of a deterrent at all. If anything, it hurts our side because we look terrible, which in turn helps the cartels and Maduro's regime. This story proves it, imo.
Ignoring the abhorrent moral implications, these strikes are just bad strategy.

Apparently, we have the ability to locate and destroy these boats.
However, no one asking the obvious question:

WHY IS THERE NO INTERCEPT AT THE DELIVERY LOCATION?

Is it too "inconvenient" to actually obtain evidence of what is involved and by whom?
Wouldn't finding out where the contraband goes and capturing who receives it be useful?
Wouldn't that approach much more effectively disrupt the supply chain?

FTFY

It should be obvious that what is terrifying is that ICE is above the law.

I suspect two things will eventually become public knowledge (after some effort to conceal them):

1. The estimate cost will greatly increase. It has already increased to $300 M. My guesstimate is it'll be $500 M.

2. The list of donors will shrink and/or they'll donate less than they have pledged.

At a time that the government is shut down and the wealthy are being given large tax breaks, this construction can best be described as a pathetic, shameful project.

"I am not sure what the big deal is... YIMBY progress!
#47 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT AT 2025-10-21 09:38 PM"

I don't think you know what that word (YIMBY) means.'
- apologies to the screenwriters of The Princess Bride

That word was invented to promote expansion of housing developments to increase the availability of housing and thereby reduce its cost. Please explain how destroying the Rose Garden and expanding the East Wing into a Ballroom helps the housing situation in DC! Are you proposing those areas could be used by the homeless between patio brunches or ballroom cotillions?

More on point: those other renovations addressed a specific shortcoming. Besides the obvious placation of President Trump's ego (as if it were possible to ever satisfy that need!), what is the actual requirement being fulfilled?

"You are clueless. The WH has undergone renovations on numerous occasions.
#44 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-10-21 08:43 PM"

This and the Rose Garden renovations are on a par with the renovations the British troops did in 1814.

The intent of the masks is obvious, but apparently not to everyone(!).

ICE could easily have secured identifying markings (with or without masks).
Are numbered badges/ID's no longer available?
Again, the reasons ICE does not is obvious.

"So are you claiming the COVID vaccine was NOT oversold? And are you also claiming that people weren't fired or discriminated against for being unvaccinated?
#38 | POSTED BY VISITOR_ AT 2025-10-02 01:36 PM"

Maybe if you would define what YOU consider "oversold" means, then someone could answer your question.

Similarly, if you would define what YOU consider to be "discrimination".

Until you explicitly share what your understanding is of those words, claiming individuals were fired because they were discriminated against by an oversold vaccine is a pointless waste of time.
