David Cruesno is American born but says his mother crossed into the USA illegally from Mexico but has been working & paying taxes in America for thirty years. The idiot Trump has said that he may do away with a ruling which made churches off limits for ICE arrests.
Did anyone really believe he's a genuine christian....

Trump is the worst possible human being, a man with no soul just an urge to gather money.

He is indeed, & how anyone can be taken in by him is mnd boggling. Yet there is apaprently no shortage of such people & I wonder whether perhaps a better standard of education might have seen a different result in their elections. Not that there seems to have been any outstanding candidate but, possibly someone with an even slightly more realistic outlook might have been better.

Not that there seems to have been any outstanding candidate but, possibly someone with an even slightly more realistic outlook might have been better. The American voters are about to be educated. - They will find out who actually pays tariffs - Them.
- They will find out who does a lot the menial tasks including in construction and food production - Immigrants.
- They will realise that big business and especially insurance companies fully appreciate climate change - LA rebuild.
- They will discover that the massive amounts of debris to be cleared after the wildfires will present huge challenges due to its asbestos content.
- They are discovering alternatives to services Trump is banning - By moving from Tik Tok to Red Note, and finding China isn't too different to the US in terms of personal freedom.
It going to get real interesting as 2025 rolls on.

I suspect you're right & perhaps there's going to be hell to pay once the realisation dawns on them, poor people...

November's election demonstrates that the great majority of Americans are indeed educated and have their heads screwed on.
Gives me some faith in humanity that people are smart enough to vote based on policy that that benefit from over a candidates skin color, gender etc.
America has spoken, perhaps you should go around asking Americans how they feel.
Most are happy and chose a president for the people who respects their freedoms.
It was a rarity on one news last night when the interviewed the public and couldn't find anyone who was unhappy about trump.

Really? And yet, they elected Trump.
Had you forgotten that he's a convicted felon...? Not that people don't sometimes deserve a second chance, but in his case that seems to be a huge mistake.

It was a rarity on one news last night when the interviewed the public and couldn't find anyone who was unhappy about trump. The majority of those interviewed on the TV news that I watched were still living in la la land thinking that Trump was going to lower inflation/prices by imposing tariffs on imports. The ignorance of Trump voters was on full display and there are sure to be very many disappointed and angry Americans in the next four years as that particular chicken comes home to roost.
I can't decide which is worst, Trump's ignorance of facts and science or his ability to spew lies with no apparent conscience in doing so.

The near future is likely to be an awful shock for some of those who voted for him, & you really have to feel sorry for them.
I wonder if he's even aware that he hasn't any idea of facts & science, since he's been pulled up sometimes for that but just carries on regardless, & is he aware that he is telling lies. Perhaps he has some mental illness of some sort.

No, he's just a con man living by his wits and as such anything goes in his repertoire to gain advantage over others, and he's good at it, look he is President of the U.S.A.
It beggars belief but it is so. He's going to loot them out of house and home, and they deserve it for being so gullible.

You really have to feel sorry for those who didn't vote for the Trump creature.

Trump and his close family of grifters plus all his ripoff mates will be thinking like a group of foxes in the hen house, America for the taking.

Ive got friends who live near the border and witness first hand the damage thats been done.
I tend to agree with their view over anyone who lives here and is not affected by their mass illegal immigration and resulting crime, etc.

Trump is just the latest iteration of a right wing movement that was initiated by Reagan. Very interesting unpicking of the ongoing process here:
And yes the parallels to political activities in Germany in the 1930s is obvious and extremely concerning.

That was rather scary viewing.
The 'radical right' don't seem to understand the possible consequences of what they want to impose on their country. That' or they do understand & don't care.
I'm SO glad we don't live there...poor people.

And following on from the 'Right Wing' video above this immigrants related story.
https://www.newsbreak.com/news/378255938...ng-spanish
Starting to look more and more like Nazi Germany there now. Seems the public now need to carry their proof of nationality documents with them to avoid these fascist dictates.

How dare anyone speak anything other than American...
That's monstrous, surely those who voted for him must be concerned about this & the horrible possibilities.
