Trump to designate other non leftwing orgs as domestic terrorists.

Antifa has been declared a terror organisation in Netherlands and Germany .Gives Trump a good reason to haul every antifa member to Guantanamo because they are part of a foreign terrorist organization. It also allows him to jail Soros for donating money to an FTO.

I love it when liberal heads explode, big reason I support Trump. He drives them insane. U

Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico:
How is this allowed. Hunter Biden sat in WH meetings where pardons and clemencies were discussed. An autopen then decided to sign pardons. Hunter Biden was also involved in his own full pardon, this one Joe signed personally.


On September 18, 2025, former Biden chief of staff Jeff Zients testified before the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY). Zients confirmed that Hunter Biden participated in multiple White House meetings focused on clemency and pardon decisions in late 2024. These meetings involved senior aides and occurred as Joe Biden prepared to issue pardons before leaving office on January 20, 2025. A source familiar with the closed-door interview noted that it remains unclear whether Hunter directly influenced his own pardon or those of other family members, but his presence raised concerns about conflicts of interest.
Scope of Involvement: The meetings reportedly covered the broader clemency process, including Joe Biden's decision to issue a "full and unconditional" pardon to Hunter on December 1, 2024, for offenses from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024. This pardon nullified convictions on gun and tax charges, sparing Hunter up to 17 years in prison. Additionally, Joe Biden extended preemptive pardons to other family members, including James Biden, covering activities dating back to his vice presidency (2009–2017), which Republicans allege were tied to influence-peddling schemes.



America is a truly a banana republic.
Hunter Biden has an "in your face" attitude. Some deductions he claimed to be business expenses.

Strip Joint Membership: This refers to a $10,000 payment labeled as a "golf club member deposit" but actually for a sex club membership (not a traditional strip club). IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley confirmed the club owner verified Biden's involvement. He deducted this full amount as a business expense on his 2018 tax return. Additional strip club visits (e.g., $3,947 at an unnamed club, $1,500 to an exotic dancer) were also claimed as business deductions, but no "membership" fee was specified for those.
Hunter Biden deducted tens of thousands of dollars (~$100,000+ across categories) in payments to prostitutes, including those linked to an Eastern European sex trafficking ring. These included:
$11,500 for two nights with an escort (deducted as business travel).
$25,000 to a "West Coast assistant" who was "essentially a prostitute."
$18,000 in wire payments to another woman (coded to conceal purpose).
Multiple flights/hotels for prostitutes (e.g., interstate travel violating the Mann Act), expensed to Owasco PC.

Overall, prostitutes/escorts/dancers totaled ~$30,000 in just five months (2018), with broader "various women" and "adult entertainment" deductions exceeding $100,000.

Good morning everyone o

Just to note, there are around 40k residency slots that open every year in the USA

And around 28-30k American medical grads every year.

Please how do you people intend to make up the difference given monsieur orangé's latest tantrum disguised as an EO?

Tell this to hopeful legal immigrants who are presently schooling in the US with the hopes of securing work permits to live the American dream.

And also employers who may have to deal with shortage of skilled professionals because of Mr Orange's decisions.

Oh yea. We have extreme capitalism. It’s bound to fail at some point because the final destination of end stage capitalism is fascism.

If you tell republicans we need a happy medium, they will call you everything but a child of God. All the while claiming they’re for the people. How are you for the people when the very economic system you support requires the oligarchs to steal from the poor in order to maintain their status?

It’s like “lord” Adam the other day saying he supports universal healthcare and bla bla bla (insert other socialist programs) but he roots for republicans and specifically Elon. 🥲. They make zero sense when you dissect their ideologies.

A Christian baker was sued and bankrupted for refusing to bake a cake for a lesbian couple. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court which finally ruled in their favour.

How about someone goes to a trans owned bakery and makes an order for a Charlie Kirk cake? Would he make it out of the door alive?

That's the liberals for you

"He threatens explicitly: ‘We’re going to cancel ABC’s license. We’re going to take him off the air so ABC cannot broadcast any more’ … He says: ‘We can do this the easy way, but we can do this the hard way.’ And I got to say, that’s right out of Goodfellas. That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, ‘Nice bar you have here. It’d be a shame if something happened to it,’” Cruz said.

i am worried about hard working foreigners who have spent money and going through the legal process to work and live in the united states..some are our nigerian brothers and sisters.

The typical college graduate American resents foreign workers on H1B visas. Ijebos is a very good example who hates anyone not agreeing with his infinite wisdom worse if not American
Many Americans will be happy with that because it ensures higher wages for them if they can't jget cheaper foreign workers.
I have been to Export Processing Zones in Ethiopia, one was a huge BPO doing data entry and first level support for various American companies.
It's a populist move that is squarely aimed at eroding further democrat support among American citizens. To democrats it's damned if they do,damned if they don't support lesser H1-B visas
Ijebos would be secretly happy if there was a scarcity of MS Excel expert jobs .. But he will never publicly support Trump on anything.
P/S I have a forner ciollege mate who worked for Deloitte in Nigeria, and then they transfered him to their Atlanta Georgia office many years ago. He is still there. I don't know what kind of visas he got though

your first supposition may not be true....I'd like for you to back it up with data, that a typical college American graduate resents foreign workers on H1-B.

Indigenous american graduates cant fill up all of the professional roles in the US.. which is one reason for the H1-B.

No US Visa holding immigrant would be cheering Trump the way he does. There's already too much fear from what he has already done.
Plus if he was in the US, he'd be here on a H1-B visa. Would he be supporting Trump' H1-B policy? No.
The idjit doesn't even understand what Visa he would be on in he were here in the US to effectively lie about it.

That assertion comes from many forums and social media postings .

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI, 2023) report highlights that the top 30 H-1B visa employers hired approximately 34,000 new H-1B workers in FY2022 while simultaneously laying off over 85,000 employees, many of whom were U.S.-born, during 2022 and early 2023.


Personal stories abound on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), where U.S. tech workers report being laid off and training H-1B replacements (e.g., Disney 2015 case). Recent X discussions (e.g., post-2025 Trump $100K H-1B fee) highlight frustration: "Tens of thousands of Americans lost jobs to H1B scam" or "Microsoft laid off 43,000 since 2009 while applying for 49,000 H-1Bs." Youth unemployment in CS/engineering is high (6.1% for recent grads), fueling claims of a "bleak job market."

I can assure you that there is nothing special about him. US republicans love to find useless things to focus their attention on, so they distract their constituents instead of doing what they’re voted in to do.

Today it’s Kirk’s turn. In the past, it’s been “post-birth” abortions are happening or LGBTQ people are ruining the world or Christians are being persecuted etc etc.
Whatever ridiculous nonsense they can find to keep their base riled up and arguing, they’ll milk it to death.

While we are arguing, they’re sneaking off at night to pass votes against our healthcare, social security retirement, environmental protection, cost of medicine and quality of food. They will never change because it works for them. The average republican is den se (I’m sorry it’s true). If you’re one of their politicians, would you change any of your tactics that’s been working for decades?
