The detention and deportation process has begun. In my backyard practically. Who's going to mow the lawns at Bedminster if the landscapers are gone? Or prepare his food? Or do the dishes and cleanup?
They're complaining now about the cost of eggs. Wait until a head of lettuce costs $10.00.

Do not get sick. You can get bird flu just from contaminated milk splashing on your face.

NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) An establishment in Newark was raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on Thursday, according to Mayor Ras Baraka.
The raid comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office stating that federal immigration authorities can arrest people at sensitive locations.
The mayor released the following statement Thursday afternoon condemning the incident, claiming undocumented residents and citizens were detained without a warrant:
Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures .
Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come, Baraka said.

(2,937 posts)The Constitution is clear that no person who incites an insurrection against the government can run for public office. When he swore to uphold and protect it, he kept his hand at his side, not on the Bible, because he knew he was lying (I am waiting for the Photoshopped meme showing his lowered hand with fingers crossed). The Constitution is no longer the law of the land, it is what used to be that. Citing it is like citing laws put forth by the Federation of Planets and expecting them to be heeded. (You know, IMO.)

This crypto crap purpose is to decease the value of the dollar, but since shithole is such a horrible business man, this will add to the destruction of our economy.
Why would billionaires put their wealth on the line with the likes of shithole musk?

I'll suffer from high prices and low stock but our modest income is steady and we can manage. When I hear my MAGAt neighbors complaining and doing without, I plan to laugh my ass off at them and remind them for whom they voted.
I know, that's not the Christian response, but that's my response. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.
