Bessent would live stream him shooting pensioners if it gained him money when he has more money than any one person would ever need

 
The ICE raids and protests against them are likely to escalate. That will suit Trump and he will be eager to encourage it because a summer of violence on the streets (made by "infiltrators, agitators and insurrectionists"} will eventually bring a shift away from sympathy for immigrants and in favor of Trump's law & order. He can use that to increase support for the anti-immigration policies he campaigned on, he could even use it to get wavering Republicans in Congress to rally round his "big beautiful bill."
Long hot summer coming.
 
The abiding characteristic of this administration is that it lies.
It used to be, in his first term. Now it's FEAR. He instills fear in people and he relishes it. Farm workers in California afraid to go to work in the fields, casual workers afraid to turn out at Home Depot parking lots to get a day's work, Republicans in Congress afraid to speak against him.

I'd call him a **** but he's not warm or welcoming.
 
I have no idea why they keep doing this - the number of attendee's will just draw attention to America's fading influence in the world - and any action taken against an attending country can also result in actions taken against the USA - countries are less and less in fear of a Trump led USA

How long before US army and navy bases around the globe are closed by the"host" countries?
Difficult to patrol the Pacific if nowhere to resupply

Texas governor has followed Trumps lead and allowed the national guard to attack peaceful protestors.

If you are to believe what I am posting here, this is part of the unknown plan of Project 2025. The bit they did not publish. Military deployments to come.
Russ Vough being filmed under cover is quite unnerving.
Vance coming after Trump will not be any better. He was hand picked with their approval.
Like I say unnerving and interesting if correct.



Incidentally there is a whole other program around what is happening in the universities at the moment. All part of the greater plan.
 
The abiding characteristic of this administration is that it lies. And supporters either believe the lies, or lie themselves, or don't believe them but do not care. Can someone please explain how any supporter of this administration is not either stupid, or morally defective, or both?
Trump has normalised lying. All Maga authorities, representatives etc just do it as a matter of course now. The attorney general is the worst. Post truth era.
 
Cutting-edge new US military aircraft just spotted in Wyoming.

This isn't really politics is it? However, there may be posters who can relate this to NATO operations, the Ukraine, Iran etc. Also, it seems the British are involved. So some posters may find that worth knowing. As an aside and trying to relate this to an on-going discussion on another thread about rare earth Wyoming is the site of some huge deposits (apparently), biggest in the world some say.



The U.S. Air Force so far only has five of its new EA-37B Compass Call electronic warfare planes, making it one of its newest and rarest advanced aircraft. One of them landed at the Casper/Natrona County Airport on Tuesday.





Our historical predecessors include such illustrious names as Alvis, Avro, Barrow Shipbuilding, Blackburn Aircraft, Bofors, British Aerospace, Detica, Elliott Bros, English Electric, Ferranti, Hawker Siddeley, Marconi, Plessey, Royal Ordnance, Sopwith, Thornycroft, Vickers-Armstrongs, Vospers, Yarrows and many more. All have contributed to making BAE Systems a world leader in global defence, security, and aerospace, playing a crucial role in providing cutting-edge solutions for defence, cybersecurity, and air, land, and naval systems to governments and industries worldwide.

I'm not sure of your point, but it's not a secret that Wyoming has RE deposits. A report a few years back claimed a staggering amount - 20 times China's deposit or so, I think.

Unfortunately, there is much smoke and mirrors, and quoting without proper context. My understanding is that WY has really big deposits, but they contain only very low amounts of REs, the total is only a fraction of the total amount in China (<5% I think).

I suspect that the aim of putting tariffs on RE imports is to drive the price up. If that happens, it may just be profitable to produce RE in Wyoming.

Sounds like something someone would say about a Joe Biden supporter the last 5 years.... Oh wait!
