 They actually believe he is deporting US Citizens and that they might be next.  They BELEIVE all the crazy things said about him on social media.  Heck many probably believe he eats babies for breakfast.  There is a touch of insanity in some on this forum and a clear need for mental health therapy.

 

 

In respect you your statement, when a US citizen is forcibly removed from the  USA, it is technically not a deportation since a US national cannot be deported. It is however a removal. There have been multiple removals of US national minors, with several now before the courts. The circumstances are disputed, but at the very least there was a duty to  act in a child's best interests and there clearly is evidence that some removals did not do this.

And you STILL can’t come up with a legitimate reason how Biden attained his wealth.

 

Hint:  it wasn’t in his tax returns.

And you STILL have nothing. 

 

It's you who made a claim, it's your duty to prove it. And not to try the lame trolling tactic of asking others to disprove your baseless claim.

 

A few readings for you  starting with the "leftist" Forbes.

So,  Are you saying Biden has never received illegal kickbacks from foreign governments?

 

Or he hasn’t been caught yet?

Got some actual evidence the house subcommittee kept on trying to come up with something and kept on getting shot down. Please share the evidence with us. In written form. I don't understand right-winger's predilection for videos.

Can't say I'm all that keen on a media that attacks their elected president, and I was previously part of that media. The media should be supporting their democratically elected leaders.

The duty of the media is to REPORT, not serve as a cheering section for elected officials.

Removal is the correct term.  Thanks.

 

I am unaware of any removals of children excepting when their parent(s) are deported and they choose to take their children with them.  Perhaps it has happened.  Probably happened under Biden and Obama as well.

I like videos.  Real words coming out of real peoples mouths.  Much more factual IMO.

 

Your graphs, spreadsheets, statistics and “studies” can be generated by anyone with Microsoft software skills.

 

That’s probably why leftists have a predilection for them.  Gullibility.

 

I used leftists instead of Democrats since I’m addressing you, a non U.S. citizen.

 

 

 

 sure graph, charts, and data can be generated by anyone. But that's why the mods insist on having links to show the provenance of those sources. 

Maybe you should suggest to  government  and businesses that they run on videos instead of on graphs, statistics, and other data. So much more fun! And you get your information from people you agree with! Even more fun!

167 million after leaving the White House.  So about 4 months.  I’m impressed but I was referring to his time in office, not after.

 

8 million from Federal pension .  Should it actually count towards net worth as it’s paid monthly.  Not in a lump sum.  If he dies tomorrow   still 8 million?

 

Do I have anything yet?

No  you still have nothing, as usual.

To start with, it's 16.7 million.

Trump's constant lies are enough to seriously irritate anyone.

One of those is Trump's claim that the United States is "subsidizing Canada" to the tune of $200 billion a year.

 CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale explained that it's a little closer to $36 billion, "Even if you only count goods trade, ignore the services trade, at which the U.S. excels, about $71 billion, so, just wrong."

 Trump also complained that only 4% of US trade went to Canada, however, Dale said, "About 17% of U.S. exports go to Canada, Canada was the No. 1 buyer of U.S. exports in 2024.

A Facebook post! 

I watched the vid, it was about medicare fraud which was already known before DOGE, for example the IG report I linked. Not about unknown fraud found by DOGE.

So you are  claiming they found a significant amount of fraud and you are not able to provide any link to a reliable source (text) which can be checked.

It seems you are not even able to mention precisely which fraud they found! 😆

There were 3 clips, the Medicare clip was highlighting the fact the dems were talking of Fraud and waste before Trump and Musk did. But now all T&M are attacked for it.

The FB clips shows the DOGE explaining some of the waste & fraud they'd found and the amounts in $.

It seems The doge team are actually doing something about the waste, but you slate them as liars.... do you not think its a good idea to stamp out waste of tax dollars?

People hate Trump because he is a disrupter, at the highest level. I worked in corporate for many years and almost all successful corporations have gone through major disruptions at some point. No, the Federal government is not a corporation, but it has grown fat and lazy and sorely in need or re-inventing. Many people hate change, and therefore hate Trump, but without it I think our government was in a slow death spiral. Yes, the cure may be painful in the short-term, but better to get it out of the way now.

I never realized real words coming out of real people’s mouths has such a negative effect on you.

 

BTW, the videos are not only for the people i agree with.  They’re great for those I disagree with.

 

Case in point:  Harris’s incoherent word salad’s are much more effective watching and listening when they come directly from her mouth vs reading it in text.

 

Do you agree?

 

You know, when trying to find Harris' word salads you get the same tired old out of context vids circulating among the MAGA crowd. When looking for Trump word salads there are fresh servings practically every day.

That's great, don't you agree?

If you squirrel corrupt & dirty millions from America's enemies through a web of 28 LLCs it is all fine and above board. Not one single representative from the left offered criticism to blatant attempts to launder corruption money, yet they act outraged about Trumps tax returns. One word, dishonesty.

Cognitive Decline? Trump Spews a Word Salad to Explain Alcatraz Idea.

“Well, I guess I was supposed to be a moviemaker. We’re talking—we started with the moviemaking, and it will end,” Trump replied. “It represents something very strong, very powerful, in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz is, I would say, the ultimate, right? Alcatraz, Sing Sing, and Alcatraz, the movies.

But uh, it’s right now a museum, believe it or not. Lotta people go there. It housed the most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there, but they, as you know the story, they found his clothing rather badly ripped up, and uh, it was a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems. Nobody’s ever escaped from Alcatraz, and just represented something strong having to do with law and order; we need law and order in this country.”

Trump said he hoped to “bring [Alcatraz] back in large form, add a lot.”

“It sort of represents something that’s both horrible and beautiful and strong and miserable, weak,” he added. “It’s got a lot of qualities that are interesting.”
