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!😂

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. https://www.axios.com/2026/02/10/trump-epstein-files-jamie-raskin-unredacted

Over a million times

Over a million times

Just seen that...and all the files not released as yet. When Ro Khanna and Massie went to read the 'unredacted' files they were still redacted. As if what we ha e seen or read isnt bad enough....how much worse must the redacted files be!

If trump frees maxwell it will be an horrific affront to the women who have been abused.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here.

He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

He is not the first ICE agent involved with sex trafficking

Apparently there are also masked men pulling women out of cars while claiming to be ICE agents, when they are nothing of the kind.

I do feel that some of the ‘defenders’ on here think we are just haters because he’s a Republican - nope, I may not agree with George w Bush’s or Reagans politics, but would defend their right to be in power -but if you are defending a guy who isa known felon, couldn’t make his bail in full but suddenly has billions again and mocks disabled or dead people who didn’t support him , tells humongous porkies , goes midnight ranting on social media , fills his gvt with sycophantic untalented face candy /tv hosts and calls anyone not supporting him losers, you might want to have another think about whether in a role requiring worldwide gravitas and diplomacy he is the right kind of person to be in charge of nuclear codes - France is inundated with requests for long term visas from Americansat the moment ( easy visas for them and cheap property to buy or rent)

His civil rights are being trampled on, and this is unconstitutional. Legal work permit, married to a citizen, law-abiding (not so much as a traffic ticket), and deported from Massachusetts to NY to TX. Presumably because of his Irish accent. Due Process is assured in the 5th and 14th Amendments in the Constitution. He either needs to be charged, or set free. Holding people for unlimited amounts of time without charging them with a crime is unconstitutional. And he’s being malnourished. Cool. 👍

Seamus Culleton has been working and living in the USA for 20 years? How has he managed that without the correct paperwork?

Plus he really should not have overstayed his visa in 2009. That is a serious violation of USA immigration law. The Consequences are severe. Did he think the authorities would forget about it? Maybe after marrying his now American Wife last year and applying for a green card this violation finally came to light? He only married her last year! Maybe he thought the immigration law does not apply to him because he is now married to a US citizen. Just pointing this out as I am confused.

More cheer for the ICE fans, video in the follow up post

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

You must meant the work permit he was issued as part of an application for a green card which he initiated in April 2025. 🙂 Just after he got married!

And this means the process was not ongoing? He was applying, in obedience to the law, and his application had not been processed yet. Why is this a reason to imprison him in horrible conditions for five months?

So if he has been in the US illegally for over 20 years- and clearly “in the system” as his application for a green card is nearly done.

they’ve known he was in the country illegally for 20 years, “seriously violating” immigration law. Clearly there have been no consequences, let alone “severe” ones. Why is it a problem now?

it’s like all these “illegal rapists” ice think they are picking up. Surely they would have known they were illegal when convicted in court. Are they that incompetent they’re releasing them into the community, instead of straight to jail or deportation?

if you have convictions you can’t enter the US- you’ll be refused a visa. Are there really hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals from other countries, who also have been released rather than jailed, being smuggled past US border control?

if trump’s government has decided anyone not a legal citizen or without a valid visa should be deported, regardless of asylum or immigration application status, then they need to find a better way than snatching them off the street by masked men.

they know where they are, serve them a court order and deport them straight away. Why mess around with millions of dollars on detention facilities? Being undocumented is civil, not criminal.

I mentioned this in a pp. He had broken USA immigration law previously because he had overstayed his visa. That is a serious violation of USA immigration law. Applying for a green card/ work permit after he got married last year may have brought this violation to the attention of the authorities/ICE. In the US they have always been very strict. It does not look good if you have not followed their immigration laws in the past. and then still expect to apply to stay indefinitely.

They absolutely would have known if he overstayed his visa.

dc recently got an F1 visa. Part of the application included a document from border control listing recorded entries and exits. They do keep records. His waiver was granted in 2009 after esta’s were introduced so it would definitely be in the system.

even so, it’s unlikely he’s been in the us for so long working, owning a business, using healthcare, housing etc without needing some sort of government service.

while us immigration is notoriously difficult, it clearly isn’t “very strict” as overstaying and applying for a spousal visa from within is a common practice. Or was.

I would love to know what you think of all the blatant lies the democrats told about and for their leader during 4 years. The two repeated endlessly

“Biden is just fine, thank you.” Biden’s decline went on for at least four years, it got particularly aggressive in 2024. They hid it.

“I will not pardon him.” Biden again and again repeated this lie as to whether he would issue a presidential pardon for his son Hunter. Both Joe and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeated the assertion several times. And many Democrats publicly claimed they believed it — but hardly anyone else did. But guess what he did in the last few hours of his presidency on the 20th Jan 2025. Please see link below.Biden’s June 13 response that shows how many times the Democrat leader lied to everyone.

Here are the times that Biden, the White House said they wouldn’t pardon Hunter

President Biden and the White House have emphatically insisted the president wouldn’t pardon his son, Hunter Biden. But all of that changed Sunday, when Biden announced he would indeed grant leniency ...

That's all you've got for 'all the blatant lies'?

Try googling Trump lies - it's keeping many, many people busy just cataloguing them. Just to start, Trump's physical & mental decline is blatantly obvious and is being covered up by everyone including his official doctors. 'During a New York Magazine interview, Col. James Jones, who served in the Obama White House, declared Trump healthier than the fitness-focused former president. Doctors called Trump's health excellent, citing his April physical showing high testosterone, a biological age of 65, and perfect cognitive scores, despite hand bruises from handshakes, poor diet, and minimal sleep.' I don't blame Biden for pre-emptive pardons. It became more and more apparent that DT would weaponize the DOJ to go after his enemies.

Everyone misspeaks from time to time, but he isn't misspeaking, he's lying - great bigly whoppers. Check out Daniel Dale. Or even wiki. Or Politifact (Biden v DT) The truth is out there, it's just not ever coming from DT. Unless he accuses someone of something, in which case it's likely projection.
