DO THE MATH people

We as taxpayers PAY for mass deportation

The costs are exorbitant

6.9 million per day to just house
That's 2 billion 518 million 500 thousand a year
And
The numbers are growing

What is the daily cost of detaining someone arrested by ICE? share.google/3FwKXgvmcyXw...

Trump told Netenyahu to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza.” Netenyahu ignored him. Israeli govt airstrikes killed six more people across Gaza.

Posse Comitatus Act (1878) – The Real Barrier
The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) is the main federal law/principle that the U.S. military cannot be used to enforce domestic laws or act as a police force against Americans without explicit authorization from Congress or the Constitution. 👈🏾 🙌🏾

She couldn’t have reacted more “appropriately” and yet, she’s still arrested ☹️🤦🏻‍♂️

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

“He has Constitutional rights.”

“No.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

Why would a president weaken the nation’s defenses unless he wants them breached? This isn’t incompetence. It’s exposure by design. And the logic is airtight. Trump just fired America’s top national security prosecutors. This isn’t “politics.” It’s sabotage. 👇

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

I live in Iowa. I call 🐂 💩. There certainly are struggling farmers. BUT - The well to do farmers (I know a few) LOVE the bailout money they receive. They even brag about how much they got. And they are the ones who gleefully voted for Canckles McShitzNPants. 🤬

Dems- don't engage "you want healthcare for undocumented immigrants." Reply with "The shutdown is for one reason only- to hide the Epstein evidence that is so damaging to the White House." Every interview, every comment, every time.

Learn how to win in the court of public opinion one goddam time.

Trump just posted a video of himself dressed as the grim reaper and playing the cowbell. But the media wanted to pretend Biden was the senile one.

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Wow! Meiseles just made an excellent point: Trump's lackies are saying that 'Dems caused us to have to fire workers and cut off your money'... Just like an abusive spouse. 'it's your own fault that I beat you up'.
