In a democracy majority rules but the minorities still have their say.

Senator Grassely introduces bill to rein in on district judges power to issue nationwide injunctions.

https://amgreatness.com/2025/03/31/sen-chuck-grassley-introduces-judicial-relief-clarification-act-to-rein-in-activist-judges/

One clause is that any TRO is immediately appealable,unlike the case where judges are setting hearing dates in the future...

John Roberts should have dealt with this immediately the first judge issued a TRO .
Way to go.

This guy was was about to be deported.. A confidential him source outed him as a member of the Venezuelan gang.
An immigration judge gave him reprieve.

The other day a judge said every deportee must get due process.
There are 700 immigration judges.
There are at least 5.5 million who entered in illegally during Joe Biden error.

So much happiness angry
Democrats are the ones sending hecklers to republican hosted town halls.

Schumer also admitted another truth about his own party, which is that they're sending people to go and disrupt Republican town halls, as was the case recently with a town hall that Reps. Mike Flood (R-NE) held, and also one that Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) did. It's happening in other states, too, though, as Schumer spoke to.

"We are mobilizing in New York, we have people going to the Republican districts and going after--going after Republicans who are voting for this and forcing them either change their vote or face the consequences," Schumer said, his words taking on a concerning tone."

Don’t forget when he took his wife on a date and they went crazy because “tax payer money”. (Now Trump spends as much money every minute paying himself at his golf club by golfing on tax payer dollars since Melania can’t even stand to look at him).

Or when Obama used fancy mustard for his burger. They lost their collective shits. Had him on the news for weeks.

EU is doing its best to shut down free speech . Grok is much better than the other AIs , it's growing. EU can't ban X ( I don't think they were to do that, but they can fine it gazillions per second).
Now Grok and X are one and the same thing, with other features like money transfer coming on board.
EU can't unburden what has been now.

Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.
The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.
But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.

Wasn't referring to such cases ,I meant the whole idea about immigrants. Why are democrats so against deportations.
An example. Joe Biden granted Temporary Protected Status to 350,000 Venezuelans on Oct 2023 for 18 months set to expire Apri 7 next week. DHS announces they won't renew the status. An Obama judge has ruled that the TPS should not expire for it "threatens to: inflict irreparable harm on hundreds of thousands of persons whose lives, families, and livelihoods will be severely disrupted, cost the United States billions in economic activity, and injure public health and safety in communities throughout the United States.".

Biden can giveth, Trump can't taketh away.
Venezuela is actually threatening Guyana demanding to take by force some oil rich territory ,the Trump admin has warned Maduro over that. In other words Venezuela is not at war or under gangs, it has the military might to invade another country.

Many people would begin to realize that whatever privileges they enjoyed as non-citizens or non-Whites is actually because of Democrats and Liberals and moderate Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court last century.

Tarriffs. Trump use of tariffs and I have indicated here before is leverage.
A lot of companies do business with America and use the dollar.Some of you are not aware that Uncle Sam can come for you if you paid out a bribe using the US dollar. Ask Adani the richest Indian who was indicted for bribing govt officials to secure huge contracts in aviation, transport and energy in India.

Trump placed a 25% tariffs on Venezuela for refusing to accept deported illegal immigrants. Reliance Industries who are one of the worlds largest refiners of crude oil buys 10-15% of all oil exported from Venezuela. Reliance Industries has stopped buying their Crude over the tarriffs.
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/indias-reliance-stop-buying-venezuelan-oil-over-us-tariffs-sources-say-2025-03-26/

Only a matter of time before Maduro capitulates.

Tariffs are meant to force recalcitrant govts to comply. He who pays the piper calls the tune.
This is not rocket science.Trump has also been talking about America being exploited and taken advantage of by Japan ,from way back in the late eighties and nineties. "Countries send full containers to American ports which then return empty." If I remember.
Now to the liberals that's a bad thing to say, probably racist.

I love when Trump says stuff that’s certifiably bonkers you reduce it to him playing a tactic or strategy. Ugh 😑

Then you also turn around and say well if he does it, then so be it. As if you would ever have the same energy if a democratic president ever attempted this whether by the “proper method” or not.

I can say with my chest that no matter how well a democrat leads, I wouldn’t support them for a 3rd or 7th term because that would be the death of the US. But you’re okay as long as someone from your party does it. That’s the summary of everything we’ve been going back and forth about on this thread.
You are yet to understand trolling Musk gave out a check to people who had voted last week or signed some petition and were willing to go knocking on doors.

Draw a line from October 7, 2023. That's the false flag event that justifies Israel's ongoing terrorism.

The targeting of American ships did not begin until after the United States, under Biden's leadership, formed a 10-nation coalition against Yemen and started bombing that poor nation to protect Israeli ships. The argument Biden made was some of the vessels hit were only Israeli affiliated. JD Vance has told us it is mostly European ships most of which are controlled by Israel indirectly.

Subsequently, tensions heightened and calls for a ceasefire were pushed. Trump took credit for it even though he was not in office at the time. When this agreement was reached in Gaza, Yemen announced a cessation of military operations.

A week after this, Israel violated the agreement and began blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Yemen announced the resumption of military operations in the Red Sea against Israeli ships only. This is despite the fact that for two weeks to date, no ship was targeted because all Israeli ships had stopped passing through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.

Then, two days before Israel announced the resumption of bombing Gaza, Trump began carrying out airstrikes on Yemen, even though there was no threat or targeting of American ships. Again, why JD Vance was worried about how the unnecessary war was going to be sold to Americans who knew Trump ran on being pro-peace.

JD Vance said he was tired of America fighting on behalf of Europeans (he meant Israel). Hegseth called them free-loaders. The whole chat just exposed how much of chief hypocrites they all are and it has to be called out.

Trump is bombing women, children, babies, medics, journalists- rather than instruct Satanyahu to comply with the ceasefire terms. Benjamin bragged about it including about getting Trump to deport people he called antisemites. Americans did not vote for this.

That is why I said all the signal leaks were misdirections. Simply put forward to generate public sympathy and endorsement. Aren't you worried that the democrats who never see anything good in Trump are tacitly endorsing this madness?

That should tell you all you need to know.
I'll defer this to later after I look at the timelines. Those mad Mullahs of Iran are the puppeteers. Iranan ships gather Intel on the merchant ships then pass it on to the Houthi.

There is a reason why term limits were introduced after the 12-yr presidency of FDR; one of them being that the U.S. shouldn’t have a cult-like presidency
