I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

It seemed to me that the protests were mostly NOT about ICE. Except in heavily hispanic cities.

Mostly attended by whites who appear to be nicely dressed, with good spelling, and college educated. .. one or two blacks here and there ... and primarily anti-Trump.

So basically what we have is an anti-Trump movement, funded by Soros and other globalists, under a catch-all title. BUT NO AGENDA MOVING FORWARD. A classic color revolution operation.

I wonder if this will eventually be used to gin up support for a nicely dressed, white, college educated, seemingly middle-of-the-road ... a Bill Clinton- style "moderate Democrat" with a globalist agenda.

I posted earlier that the Trump election is, for the globalists, possibly not a problem but an OPPORTUNITY. The collected problems of the USA ... financial, foreign policy, immigration, social, economic, political, environmental ... could be blown up under Trump. Then, with MAGA and populism discredited along with its most powerful leader, global financialism and hyper-monopolism could resume.

As it is, nobody needs to blow anything up bc Trump is self-destructing all on his own. His ego is preventing him from admitting inevitable defeat in Ukraine, which is why he keeps pushing a "negotiated settlement" (so he can claim credit or at least avoid surrender). And he's tying the USA to the millstone that is Israel, which will likely be another defeat in 5 years or so.

Way to go, America. You ruined Trump's parade and made him sad

Nice job, guys. Do you know how hurtful that was for a man who just wanted to have a cool birthday parade that would make him feel like a powerful dictator?

People from Virginia to California and everywhere in between were hoisting signs that said mean things about President Trump like “IF MELANIA DOESN’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH HIM…WHY DO WE?”

Just a bunch of unemployed, white, college "educated" kids with nothing better to do in June on the weekend after Pride month was cancelled.

Not really though. Nobody actually showed up to these things. Certainly not millions of people.

They're running out of steam. If they keep losing all the morale battles as they have during the last 6 months, they're going to be crushed under their own emotional damage and they're likely to give up entirely and finally move on.

Like... What did this weekend get them anyhow? Nothing. Just more exposure for the normies to the lies of the Legacy Media, more video evidence of thousands of illegals and white college "educated" kids flying flags from other countries while burning American flags and businesses, ramped up ICE raids in blue "Sanctuary" cities announced countrywide on the very next day.

Things aren't going to be the same after this. I don't think that people get that yet.

Trump's Deportations are a Flop.
Libtards at the No Kings Protests should have been celebrating that Trump's team is incompetent at planning and performing.

Trump is deporting way fewer people than Obama did. Why?

Obama, the “deporter in chief,” still holds the record.

By Nicole Narea | Jun 17, 2025, 6:00 AM CDT

President Donald Trump promised his supporters “the largest deportation program in American history” — but he’s nowhere close.

That distinction belongs to an early 20th-century program that likely saw 2 million people deported. When looking at more recent times, it’s President Barack Obama — once dubbed by immigrant advocates “the deporter in chief” — who holds the 21st-century deportation record. His administration kicked out 438,421 people in 2013. No president since has come close to equaling that record, including Trump during his first term.

Trump’s ambitions have been stymied. If Trump truly wants to set a new record, he’ll need to more than double the current pace of deportations. And that will take a strategy that radically departs from what he is doing.

Lies and Deportations

The truth about Trump’s off-again-on-again deportation policies is catching up with him

By Paul Krugman | Jun 17, 2025

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/lies-damned-lies-and-deportations

Trump returned to power apparently convinced that America is being overrun with violent immigrant criminals. So all he had to do was order ICE to start rounding up these evildoers and kick them out.

However, tracking down undocumented immigrants who are also criminals has turned out to be a slow affair, because the great majority of immigrants — like the great majority of people in general — are law-abiding. In fact, the available evidence suggests that undocumented aliens are less likely to commit crimes than native born Americans. Things move a little faster if ICE ignores due process and just sends people it imagines might be criminals to overseas prisons. But this means sending people who may well be innocent — and legal residents — to horrifying gulags. And while such things don’t bother Trump or Stephen Miller, they do in fact bother many Americans.

Yet Miller, by all accounts, has been deeply frustrated at the slow pace of deportations. So the administration began just rounding up people who look to them like illegal immigrants. Again, the abandonment of due process and rule of law clearly didn’t bother them.

But the loss of an important part of the labor force bothered business interests. And so last week Trump suddenly announced that he wouldn’t be going after immigrant workers in agriculture and the hospitality industry, who are “very good, long time workers.”

What this meant, I guess, was that the dragnets will be limited to industries that employ large numbers of undocumented immigrants, but in which these immigrants are not a crucial part of the work force.

So I wondered how long it would take Trump to realize that there are no such industries. I mean, wait until he learned about who does the hard, dangerous work in the construction industry.

Sure enough, it only took a couple of days for the administration to reverse its policy of exempting farms and restaurants from immigrant raids. Anti-immigrant hardliners realized, even if Trump didn’t, that going easy on immigrants who are crucial to the economy would in effect mean abandoning the whole idea of mass deportation.

As often, it’s useful if disturbing to read what Trump says, unfiltered by media sanewashing. Here’s part of a screed from Sunday:

“In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America's largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women's Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don't hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!”

Notice that Trump is still going on about “our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities,” oblivious to the reality that homicides in major cities have plunged — in New York, where immigrants make up 37 percent of the population, murders were 83 percent lower in 2024 than in 1990, and have continued to fall rapidly this year. Note also that Trump has gone full Replacement Theory, claiming that Democrats are deliberately bringing in illegal aliens to “expand their voter base” (undocumented immigrants can’t vote.)

But in the context of Trump’s temporary move on farm and hospitality workers, the line that struck me was the one about how immigrants were “robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.” Which “good paying Jobs and Benefits” did he have in mind? Agricultural field work? Scrubbing toilets? Installing drywall?

Incidentally, not only do undocumented immigrants often do the most physically demanding and unsafe work, they are often deliberately misclassified as independent contractors, which means that they “do not have access to health insurance, medical leave, workers’ compensation insurance coverage, and safe workplace protections.”

The point is that in general undocumented immigrants don’t take good jobs away from native-born Americans. By and large they take jobs the native-born don’t want or would only take at much higher wages. This means that immigrants are complements, not substitutes, for native workers. They increase, not reduce, native-born wages. And mass deportation, if it really gets going, will be an economic as well as a human catastrophe.

Which doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. TACO doesn’t necessarily mean that Trump chickens out from bad policies. Sometimes it means chickening out from good, or in any case less bad, policies. In this case he has chickened out in the face of MAGA hardliners, retreating from a policy change that would have limited the damage from anti-immigrant fanaticism.

Yes. They have. By activist judges appointed by Obama and Biden*.

They will be dealt with and they will be removed.

And then we're going to be kicking them out by the millions.

And their kids.

Meanwhile, border crossings for 6 months have been effectively ZERO. Under Biden* we'd already have anywhere from 1.2 to 2 Million more illegals in our country right now than we did in January.

You say that, but don't forget that up until 6 months ago we didn't arrest anybody for anything for 4 years, and the rare time somebody got arrested, AOC and Kamala Harris were out there raising money for their bail bonds when they didn't outright have a George Soros appointed DA that just cut them loose outright without a court case.

These stupid college "educated" kids have no idea what's coming to them right now.

They're about to find out.
Trump is already backing down on violence against illegal aliens. He will back down when pressure is applied against mass arrests of citizens. Trump always chickens out:

Trump suspends raids on "hotels, farms, meatpacking plants and restaurants"

So Sayeth Ultra-Left RawStory!!!!

You haven't believed a single word that has come out of Trump's mouth in 10 years.

Why start now?

Oh... wait. I forgot. You guys turn around and blow any filthy NeoCon cock that comes your way and argues against Trump.

You're not both sucking on Trump's dick this afternoon now, are ya?
