Thought I’d be brave and start a pro-Trump thread for a change, after all, there are so many anti-Trump ones , we need some balance!
I even tried commenting on an anti-Trump thread today… and wow, just kept being told to go away, my comments were not well received. Honestly, I feel honoured to feel as if I have been officially deported, what an achievement!😂

They don’t need so many agents when ICE are supported by local PDs: it’s said the Dallas field office alone arrests 100 per day. Incredible what they can do when allowed to do their job

That ain't working! The linked footage makes your post a bit silly to say the least

huge protests in Dallas

They are shouting Fuck ICE in case you choose not to watch these thousands of people marching through the streets

So where's @Carpediemtoday?

Too busy out carpeing the diem today (seeing their psychiatrist) to come back to the thread?

The Melania film I expect. Now we know who bought the ticket.

simpsonthecat · 30/01/2026 13:57

Just checked my nearest Vue cinema. No tickets sold for the afternoon showing, two for the 6.30pm one.

🤣🤮😂

Trump government is now arresting journalists and boasting about it.

First amendment?

So far as I can find, charges under the FACE act of 1994.

Civil Rights Division | Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances & Places of Religious Worship (justice.gov)

Rather ironic that the destroyers of Roe v Wade are using pro R v W laws to persecute journalists. I mean they could pass new laws. Or something.

Oh, I forgot. It's rule by EO now. The Emperor way.

This was never the basis for US immigration policy though.

No hon, just basic humanity.

BoyHowdy · 30/01/2026 15:58

RingoJuice · 30/01/2026 08:14

Yeah, basically.

Immigration of the best of the best is ideal. But this isn’t what we have at all.

Immigration happens at all levels, but you obviously haven’t been watching the videos of MAGA farmers all upset (for themselves of course) because they can’t pick their whole carrot harvest themselves because immigrants (who pay tax by the way…) are too scared to come to work. Of course, I cried a river.

We are now 42 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

BoyHowdy · 30/01/2026 16:02

RingoJuice · 30/01/2026 08:25

Sure, there are better tactics.

Like no longer allowing remittances by those without legal status. Not allowing banking services to those without work authorization. Only giving out ITINs under limited circumstances. Only hearing asylum cases at government-run facilities near the border. And (GOP hates to hear this one) prosecution of employers who knowingly hire illegal workers.

There are better ways of course. But you still need ICE to pick up illegal alien criminals and those served with final deportation orders. As well as continue the worksite raids that ICE have always done.

Also might be better not to announce big ops because that just attracts radical leftists who make things unsafe for themselves and other people

Oh, Ringo, I’m actually really disappointed that it took you this long to come out with ‘crazed leftists’, you’re letting the side down. You also seem to have forgotten the tax that immigrants pay.

I’m glad we’ve persuaded you around to thinking there are better ways than ICE’s current terror raining down though along with their lawless conduct, because in the vast majority of your previous comments, you seem to have been all for it.

Perhaps being so concerned about illegal immigrants, you’ve finally become concerned about the conduct of ICE driven by their convicted felon of a president?

And interestingly enough, given what we already know about the sex trafficking of young girls and Trump’s appearances in the files, CarpeDiem and the other Trump supporters on this thread are still more than happy to support the convicted felon. I wonder why?

Ach. They will soon start on the Clintons for refusing the congressional subpoena thing. They will start in..... two weeks.

Why can't we have one thread where we can discuss things calmly without all these angry people just stamping their feet. Wow.

The Republican party is going to be around for quite a while. Democratic party is imploding, infighting. falling apart.

Seems a bit hypocritical when Trump thrives on drama making. I think it's odd on a British based forum that you think there would be much support for this.

The Justice Department just released 3 million additional pages responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

More than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images are included.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-publishes-35-million-responsive-pages-compliance-epstein-files

They collected 6 million pages, so still not the full release

What's so good about him?

He raped children and has ruined a country, not to mention he's a convicted felon.

The only good thing about his is it seems like he's might finally fuck off to hell where he belongs soon. There not a pit deep enough for him.

ChurchWindows · 30/01/2026 16:52

Not the point of this thread by a long chalk but given all the money Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jnr have (including the $34 million that Ivana left them) you would think that they could manage something better than that miserable bunch of garage forecourt carnations on her grave.

Soulless, miserable, mean spirited bastards.

Well you should have heard what I was saying about Trump in 2016. I skipped the election that year. Thought it was all a ridiculous farce.

So I totally understand.

Ahh right. So you decided to be a low information voter. Makes sense. That was who Bannon targeted.

You know how all that worked. Or you do now, I should say. All this sunk cost stuff. Hook you in so you can't leave without losing face to yourself.

You mean her modest, oddly situated, plot near the first hole of the Trump National golf course that has witnesses sometimes referring to as ‘overgrown.’

Which reminds me of the discussions relating to New Jersey state tax laws, which exempt ‘cemetery land’ from property, income, and sales taxes.

On your second point, because it is so allegedly well documented at this point, we almost wonder whether his supporters must either see it as not an issue at all or perhaps even something they support.

Ivana left 34 mill ?

Millenia made 27 mill on a film nobody will even review :-)

No wonder Dear Leader dumpstered her.
