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!😂

just another example of what RJ is supporting

These ICE thugs must have no soul...imagine hearing this type of crying agony from a child & still ripping away their mom.

And doing this day in & out.

May their dreams be haunted by these cries & a Nuremberg style system of justice await them VERY SOON!

Presumably this person has final orders of removal. So why didn’t they leave prior to this and take their child with them? Why allow things to go on this long?

Again, if your solution is never deport someone with a child ever, you are going to invite some very negative consequences.

I never hear solutions from you or anyone else. Your solution seems to be ‘don’t deport anyone ever’

DuncinToffee · 08/02/2026 15:17

My solution?

Complete the legal process.

If they are not granted asylum, then you can deport them.

And treat asylum seekers with humanity.

You look at that video and blame the victim.

It is well documented that ICE is taking people who have no removal orders. Why does the law not matter to you? Or does it only not matter when it's brown people being removed?

This thread is providing an interesting character study of what people without morals or conscience are capable of.

Or maybe invest 1/16th of the amount that's spent on outfitting fat fucking thugs like they're going into Fallujah and throwing up concentration camps, and spend it on bureaucratic staff and immigration judges to process cases quickly and fairly.

Some people who support the regime won't be able to understand the cost/benefit analysis of how economically damaging the deportations are. For others, like @RingoJuice, they probably do understand, but will overlook it, because it's worth any amount of money to exercise public cruelty.

So if you learn this lady had final orders of removal, you’ll say nothing at all?

I have my doubts tbh. They should leave when they have a letter of final removal in hand.

Those detention centers have access to immigration ‘judges’ so there’s no reason why you cannot process them more quickly this way.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 08/02/2026 16:12

Gosh, the inverted commas round 'judges' in that post say the quiet part out loud, don't they.

DuncinToffee · 08/02/2026 16:13

I have no doubts that you would be cheering ICE in that situation @RingoJuice

BoyHowdy · 08/02/2026 16:22

RingoJuice · 08/02/2026 11:30

So no suggestion on what to do once their claim fails?

Thought as much

Obfuscating comment from you as usual.

But to humour you, I personally know of a family who left my city last month by deporting themselves when their asylum case failed.

They had two children in our elementary school. Parents and friends from the school helped their family to pack their belongings, to get to the airport, with gifts for their children. People were sad and worried for them. We wanted their case to succeed, it was valid.

They had been a productive part of our community. They had friends.

I would say this is called compassion, but actually it’s just basic human decency. This happens every day in the United States when people have to leave. I know this doesn’t fit your grubby little picture of asylum seekers.

BoyHowdy · 08/02/2026 16:28

You’re not watching the news then? Your pals are in a lot of trouble for not following judges orders. It’s one of the very few things that I’ve enjoyed on the news recently.

Yes. It’s like a practical lesson in how the holocaust was allowed to happen. Some people of course let it happen because it felt safer to them personally. And some people? Some people actively enjoyed it.

It’s the banality of evil.

There are many people who get a buzz from others suffering. If they can make a buck out them all the better

These people are the worst of the worst. I’m not going to engage with theses types anymore. It may add to their sweaty fantasies

I do get choosing not to engage with them anymore for sanity’s sake. But I do think they’re useful, they allow us to respond with facts and basic human decency. I think there are British people that think these people don’t exist or think what they’re saying is factual.

I think that’s a fair point. And people more informed than me have done an excellent job.

I think this poster is either a rage baiter or just absolutely vile. I think there’s an argument for letting them scream into the void .

What I find amusing is the isolationist viewpoints and talking points from some, yet they're expats.

A good time to remind his supporters that Trump's name appeared 38,000 times in the Epstein files.

Those files are really misnamed. They should be the Trump files.

Can we have proof of that number, where did you get it from? From the AP News or Reuters?

Epstein seems to have been totally obsessed with Trump and "mentioned" him thousands of times in his emails to others. As far as I know there are no emails Epstein wrote directly to Trump or any emails that Trump answered. You do know that Trump fell out with him big time and refused to have anything more to do with him. He accused Epstein of stealing his staff from Mar-a-Lago resort. He asked Epstein to stop and he carried on! So did not have anything more to do with him.

Any idea how many times other people are mentioned? Do you know how many times Bill Clinton is mentioned? Any idea how often Clinton visited Epstein's island? At the wonder if Clinton really is going to say "he had no idea what was going on at the island" ..... bit like his famous line "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

The New York Times stated Trump was referenced 38,000 times across 5,300 files

Clinton isn’t the president so not relevant to someone who is currently leading the country

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 09/02/2026 09:56

Well, he has a very orange face, so that’s a plus for anyone who loves orange.

He is a former President! He had a relationship with Epstein while he was President Of USA !

Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State, have both agreed to testify in the congressional investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He will appear for a deposition on 27 February, and Hillary Clinton will appear the day before!
