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 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?

Trump’s New Tech Friends Can’t Stop Embarrassing Themselves
The humiliation was on full display during the weekend’s military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday.

On Saturday evening, as millions of Americans turned out for a nationwide spate of anti–Trump administration “No Kings” protests, the unpopular president arrived at the National Mall to stage his long-planned military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday (and Donald Trump’s 79th, and also Flag Day). It was a low-energy display: The audience numbers were underwhelming, and the planning was so shoddy that many attendees left even before the festivities had officially wrapped. The telecast of the party looked so wimpy that its corporate sponsors stood out all the more, and not in a good way: The branding for Trump-connected tech companies like crypto exchange Coinbase and data firm Palantir regularly juxtaposed with the piddling crowds and oversize tank processions that cost tens of millions of dollars to set up.

Coinbase and Palantir weren’t the only Big Tech companies involved; defense contractors Oracle and Lockheed Martin were also prominent partners, along with combat-sports empire UFC, which is headed by Meta board member Dana White. But the presence of those first two firms made for a particularly in-your-face and cynical exercise, beyond the surreal optics of a supposedly distinguished government ceremony that featured blatant advertisements for private-sector firms. More pointedly, it was a sign of the extent to which Silicon Valley players are appeasing the Trump administration for favorable contracts and regulations—and how willing they are to debase and humiliate themselves in the process.
. . .
This weekend’s military exercise, then, may just be the latest illustration of how poorly Silicon Valley executives’ supplication to Trump has been working out for them. Elon Musk is out, and Tesla’s reputation has been tarnished. Meta’s Bosworth may now be enlisted in the Army, but the Big Tech giant is locked in a legal battle with the Trump administration’s Federal Trade Commission—a longtime case that Mark Zuckerberg explicitly tried to get Trump to drop. Google is still battling regulators over antitrust concerns. Apple hasn’t been able to sidestep Trump’s hypertargeted tariffs threats. Microsoft is losing foreign clients over its ties to Trump.
But these companies are no longer even pretending to care about the everyday consumer. For them, getting in good with Trump and earning some favors in the process is the single best business decision they can make—at least until Americans’ growing anger with the Trump regime boils over and targets them too.

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.
Opinion: It’s long past time for Trump to grow up and leave the stage
Tanks roll in Washington D.C. while federal troops battle immigration advocates in Los Angeles. An assassin in the nation’s heartland — reportedly a Trump supporter — kills one Minnesota Democratic legislator and severely wounds another.
Sounds like a Hollywood political thriller. But this was real life last weekend. Our nation is at war domestically, and democracy is in peril in our great republic.
“No Kings Day” was a rousing success but the military spectacle was as lifeless as a funeral march. The silence was so profound that you could hear the creaks from the armored car tracks as the procession wound down Pennsylvania Avenue. The proceedings were so boring that the president appeared to doze off.
Trump’s political career started ten years ago this week, when he glided down the polished golden escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy for president. His first major act as a candidate was to deliver a speech demonizing Mexican immigrants. For ten years now, he has sowed chaos and confusion, keeping the passionate issues of race and immigration at a high boil to distract Americans from his abject inability to fix major systemic problems such as the spread of COVID-19 and the rise in prices for consumer goods.
Trump is like a kid who wants to play with toy soldiers and acts like a bully. He is a poor president, but a great showman. He has taken Shakespeare’s words to heart, knowing that “all the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
Saturday was a big day, on which capital area residents sat out the military parade but millions across our great nation stood up for democracy in “No Kings” rallies. Meanwhile, the tinpot dictator orchestrated a Soviet-style parade of military hardware as he bullied immigrants and stood idly by as prices soared.
The situation isn’t any better overseas.
While Trump plays soldier boy here in America, Israel and Iran are trading missile volleys over Baghdad and Jerusalem. Trump went to the Middle East and returned with a flying palace gifted by an Arab potentate. All Americans got from his trip was a lousy war in a region that is key to our nation’s fossil fuel driven economy.
Things aren’t any better in Europe. The long, drawn-out war between Ukrainian heroes and Russian villains drags on despite the president’s boast that he could end the conflict within 24 hours.

Democrats Chase Trump’s Laser Pointer on Immigration
COMMENTARY
By J.T. Young

Democrats Chase Trump’s Laser Pointer on Immigration
The White House from Washington, DC, Wikimedia Commons
In his first term, Trump chased Democrats’ laser pointer; now, they’re chasing his. No issue illustrates this like immigration; it’s become the Democrats’ red dot. Whenever, wherever, and however Trump moves it, Democrats can’t help pouncing.
In his first term, Trump reacted to everything Democrats and the establishment media did. He couldn’t help himself, as though always compensating for having lost the 2016 popular vote. Forever taking their bait, his tweets poured forth. His frequently abrupt policy and political changes cost him on Obamacare – and popular support, too: Throughout his first term, Trump never had a favorable job approval rating in the RealClearPolitics Average of national polls.
In his second term, circumstances have markedly reversed. Democrats have been reacting to Trump since before he took office – if not since before he won it.
Even before his inauguration, Democratic leaders ran to microphones to announce their defiance. As they did, they picked politically questionable issues. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker proclaimed he was opening his state to more transgender surgeries; California Gov. Newsom proclaimed support for electric vehicle credits.
When Trump talked about a third term, even with the Constitution clearly blocking it, Democrats and the establishment media were apoplectic. Once in office, they were opposed to DOGE with equal vehemence.
In short, if Trump proposed it, Democrats opposed it. They couldn’t help taking the bait. However, of all the things Trump has pursued, nothing has exorcised Democrats like his crackdown on illegal immigration.
New Jersey’s governor, boldly proclaiming he was harboring an illegal immigrant, dared ICE to come…until ICE said they intended to. Democratic officials stormed a New Jersey ICE holding center. When a Milwaukee judge was arrested for helping an illegal immigrant avoid ICE capture, Democrats rallied around her, despite a judge’s job being one of impartiality on cases before the bench.

He gave them plenty of noose to hang themselves with, and they just can't help themselves.
Let's not pretend that this only started before inauguration day, 2025 though. This has been going on every single day since inauguration day of 2017. Just look at the post history here.
TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP.
That's all we've heard every single day out of Ted and Second without a day off for 3,100+ days straight now.

‘No Kings’ protests pass in festival atmosphere as an estimated 7 million across US rally against Trump’s ‘authoritarianism’

Wow, people protesting against one guy.
What would have been more meaningful to me? If instead of "orange man bad" protests about ... well, nothing, AFAIK .... they had been protesting against something specifically unconstitutional. Yanno, where were there people when the so-called Patriot Act was passed? Or when the Biden admin blatantly censored and gaslit everyone 24/7/365?
Here's something to protest: Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship.
