    Gee, I guess we struck a great deal only paying El Salvador 6 million to hold 300 deportees for a year. :p

    Seriously though, giving SNAP and other type aid to Americans in need is just communist and leftist mentality according to men like Trump.

    They could care less if those struggling have to work 50 hours a week for 12 months a year to make what they do in an hour, a day, or a week. I mean Trump bragged about some donor spending 25 million to have lunch with him. He can make a million off a pardon, or a billion for a policy for those with money to bribe him.

    Cutting healthcare, aid, and other programs wasn't really about saving money. It was about shifting it, then adding more debt on top of it. They just passed a bill to spend $45 billion for migrant detention facility beds, 46 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall, and 25 billion annually for a Golden Dome. That's only part of that 350 billion for our military and defense. Not only that, the Golden Dome will cost a trillion by the time it's ever complete, and it isn't going to stop everything.

    Anyway, it seems that MAGA prefer if Democracy was dead. Time for an Authoritarian/Dictator, a military state, and a strongman approach to anyone who dares to speak out.

    This is a lot of the MAGA mentality.....

    What's not to love about rounding up and imprisoning those nasty vile scum of the earth illegals? Big show of force! Masked agents coming to a city near you. Hahaha, love it! Military troops and tanks on the streets. The new police state! How cool is that? We can spend even more millions making commercials about it now with our budget approval.

    Those as*holes and leftist world leaders around the world crying and wanting to take action on climate change and global warming are idiots. That stuff's such a hoax. I'm so glad Trump doesn't give a damn about that stuff. Those Democratic leaders fighting for equal rights, women's rights, and crap are crazy woke. Screw that BS. I see why Trump prefers Authoritarians and Dictators. I mean, you hear those stupid Democratic leaders moaning and groaning about crimes against humanity.

    The way I see it, if you can't torture and imprison those who speak out against you then you're not the strongman Trump wants to be. You need to make them fear you to make them shut up and submit. If you have to starve or kill a hundred thousand civilians, bomb all their schools, infrastructure, homes, and hospitals to get what you want then so what? It's strength of force that matters, not weakness by caring who gets hurt along the way. I'm so glad our mighty Leader Trump isn't weak. He won't hesitate to call it a Witch Hunt and slap those leaders with tariffs if they cry about that stuff and try to arrest the leaders he likes.

    It's great seeing Trump pump his fist and taking charge like a superhero. He gave his life for us! Now we can spend money on commercials with our great leader Trump, badass Noem, and their thousands of ICE troops and military soldiers rounding up illegals on the streets. Watching that stuff's better than sex. The cherry on top is the photo shoots and videos at Alligator Alley and detention centers we sent those illegals to. I can't wait to take a selfie in front of that sign.

    Trump is the best leader our country has ever seen! He's so honest and down to earth. He cares so much about us all. Not only that, we finally have an administration we can trust. Trump and his family aren't making millions off his Presidency like the crooked and corrupt Biden family was.

    Finally, we are suppressing, retaliating against, and discrediting all media, reporters, networks, politicians, government, state and local officials, and schools not Trump friendly. I love seeing white men in charge of our military forces. Those black and women leaders were just DEI hires. Now we look tough. Now we have Trump loyalists running things. They won't hesitate to follow his orders, even if they are shooting woke Americans protesting all their BS stuff. Those aren't real Americans anyway. Trump says they hate our country and I believe him. I love watching Trump threaten to withhold aid to leftist governors and mayors. Hahaha.

    Best yet, we have die hard loyalists as Secretary of Defense, Attorney General's, and FBI now willing to back Trump no matter what he does. They are full onboard going after those Trump haters. Finally! It's going to be a great year to rip away at Democracy.
    Heil Trump!

    Yea great idea there Karen, let's give illegal immigrants cash cards while plenty of citizens continue to struggle.



    L.A. will provide cash assistance to immigrants affected by raids

    Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan Friday to provide direct cash assistance to people who have been affected by the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration raids.

    The aid will be distributed using cash cards with a “couple hundred” dollars on them, which should be available in about a week, Bass said at a news conference.

    “You have people who don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work, and they are in need of cash,” she said.


    Bass spoke about a family she met who needed two incomes to afford their rent. After one of the breadwinners was detained in an immigration raid, she said, the family is concerned they may face eviction.

    It was not immediately clear what the qualifications will be needed to receive the cards.

    The mayor emphasized that the money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners. The cards will be distributed by immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

    The city will coordinate between philanthropists and organizations distributing the cards, according to the mayor’s office.


    The mayor compared the program to “Angeleno Cards,” created by Mayor Eric Garcetti in 2020 to give financial assistance to people struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The announcement came during a Bass news conference about an executive order she signed Friday directing all city departments to “bolster protocols” and training on how to comply with the city’s sanctuary policy, which states that city employees and city property may not be used to “investigate, cite, arrest, hold, transfer or detain any person” for the purpose of immigration enforcement, except for serious crimes. Departments will have to come up with their plans within two weeks.

    The Trump administration sued the city over the sanctuary policy last month, arguing that it discriminates against organizations like ICE.

    The executive order also creates a working group that will examine — and possibly update — the LAPD’s policy on responding to immigration enforcement. Since 1979, the LAPD has taken a strong stance against enforcing federal immigration law, prohibiting its officers from initiating contact with anyone for the sole purpose of learning their immigration status.

    The executive order also includes a directive to file Freedom of Information Act requests for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to turn over records with the dates and locations of every raid in the city since June 6, as well as the identities of the people detained and the reason for their detention.

    The cash cards are one of a slew of announcements — including the executive order — this week by the mayor in response to the federal immigration crackdown in Los Angeles that has entered its second month.

    Earlier this week, Bass and the city attorney announced the city’s intention to join a lawsuit calling for an end to the Trump administration’s “unlawful” raids in the city.

    Looks like one big picnic to me. LMAO

    The way to solve illegal immigration is to send them all back to where they came from and let them back into this country as we (Legal citizens) see fit.

    BS. Looks like you've got a bad case of TDS/Class envy and I'm one of those who worked 50 hours (Most of the time more than that) a week for not a lot of money for years.

    Illegals are just that and by law are supposed to be deported.

    Yes, Trump's telling the truth, he's doing exactly what he said he was going to do on the campaign trail and what 77 million people voted for, you just dont like what he's doing.

    You know my thoughts on the Green New Scam (Environmental BS)
    Giving illegals straight up cash (Taxpayer money) what a brilliant idea

    It's not taxpayer money per se but they found a way to still use some tax funds to implement the program from my understanding. I know reading and comprehension skills aren't your strong suit...

    Tell me since you seem to have a higher opinion of yourself and your skills than most. Where's the money coming from? It appears that taxpayer money was used. The money didn't appear out of thin air.? B Ass is a dumB Ass who left the country when LA burned down. She wants to ignore laws and keep ILLEGALS in LA. This is a case of libs picking and choosing the laws they want to follow, nothing more or less.

    Trump is against handouts like SNAP unless it came from his Daddy.

    You working 50 hours a week for years isn't anything abnormal in this country. So did I. So do millions of other Americans. I don't have class envy. If all I cared about was how wealthy I could get I wouldn't have served my country for 20 years. I could have easily made more money working for the FAA as an air traffic controller, but I was proud to serve. The same goes for teaching children with Special Needs. I chose my Master's degree occupation after my military service in a field that was more about giving and helping others than getting rich. I don't regret serving in the military for 20 years nor teaching for years. We've had this discussion before. You know I am not suffering, and have healthcare, but I do empathize with those who don't.

    Just because I don't like a greedy grifting untrustworthy law breaking con as my president has absolutely nothing to do with class envy. Just because I don't like seeing a President take personal bribes for pardons, bribes for policies to help out his rich friends and foreign leaders doesn't have anything to do with envy.

    Not everyone he wants to deport are illegals.

    Sometimes he tells the truth, but he's still a pathological liar regardless. He isn't doing exactly what he said he was going to do on the campaign trail. You know better than that. He's broken quite a few promises and made changes to some of them. You are right though, I don't like a lot of what he is doing.

    It's not a scam just because you don't care about the effects of fossil fuels on the environment, don't believe in global warming, and don't believe there is a trend with global warming and the relationship to natural disasters.

    The world is breaking heat records more often, having more droughts, the oceans are warming, and the world is seeing more rapidly intensifying hurricanes, more flash floods, fires, droughts, and other severe storms both in summer and winter around the world.

    We just had four 1,000 year floods in a week, set records for tropical storms in the Pacific already, but hey, it's nothing to do with global warming at all. I hope hurricane season isn't like last year. Those 24 hour rapidly intensifying hurricanes are getting more common.

    Also, just because you don't believe there are or smarter and cheaper green ways to help mitigate flood damage and produce energy doesn't make it true, and certainly doesn't make it a scam.

    Can you read it now Ray Charles? You have a hell of a combo, dumb, stupid, and blind. You might be eligible yourself for disability if you're not already on it.

    Amongst the 300+ illegals, there were 14 CHILDREN recovered/saved from this ICE operation. Forced child labor is not acceptable in this country. Thank you Secretary Noem for freeing these children from a life of indentured servitude.


    GOOD DAY

    1. Then why do you seem to dislike people who've worked hard and been successful in life. Seems like a classic case of class envy. I certainly dont begrudge people who make more money than I do and I dont think it's the govt's role to take money and redistribute money as they see fit. I believe taxpayers should be able to keep as much of their hard earned money as possible and do with their money as they see fit.

    2. Biden is the exactly what you're describing when you're talking about bribes (Biden family business) I'm not aware of Trump taking a bribe and no I dont consider the plane Qatar gave Trump to be a bribe.

    3. Agreed, So far I like what he's done. Secured the border lower gas/inflation ec... I dont like that under Trump's watch the Epstein pedo's look like they are going to get away with taking advantage/committing sexual crimes.

    4.We're never going to agree on the environmental issues. 1st of all the earth has been heating and cooling for years. 2nd it's arrogant to think humans can make a difference unless you want to go back to living in caves and crapping in a box. (You 1st if you believe this.) 3rd of all another reason I dont believe in the climate change crap is I've been told since the 70's the world was going to end in 10-20 years. I dont like being lied too.

    With this said, I firmly believe things like Flash Flood/Tornado Alley is man made created and seeding rain clouds is immoral and should be illegal. Nothing ever good comes with man messing with nature like this.
