There better be a hell of a fight and a hell of a lot of people telling Trump a big, fat "No" to his proposal

They will be! He's provoked everybody and everybody is sick of his crap!

He was only able to resist the El Salvador ruling due to being backed by its dictator and the imprisoned people being in that country.

It's hard to enforce anything in another country.

However, rulings over here he cannot resist for long. Money talks and attacks on his wallet will scare him into compliance.

Everyone needs to understand this.

He's still going to fail!

It is not a qeuestion of enforcement, Trump and his blow boys chartered a plane to get the rapist Tate brothers out of Romania. It can be done before taking the morning dump.. You people fucking still do not get it.,.. You watched too much Lassie and Superman... You always assume goodness and reason will prevail... thata is because you were brought up to believe in a gracious and benevolent god... there is no God.. get the fuck over it.. there is no white hated hero on the way. You have forever assumed that evil exists elsewhere and the cheater will get caught and the princess will get her guy.. and the children will have a pool in backyard , s, and clean teeth for a living. 89 million people sat on their ass, rubbed their chins and said"it will be all right" Guess what ?The grim reaper is here and it is not fucking all right!

Like I heard Michael Fanone say to Michael Cohen yesterday, it won’t be long, and these protests are going to turn violent. We, the people, are pissed, and all anyone is giving us, is lip service.

Michael Cohenis a piece of rat fuck pimp shit. He is a fucking bag man for a mob boss. He got busted and turned state's evidence. This is classic RICO prosecuting bahavior... He is a shit, who went to a shit law school, and is a street corner liquor store ugly wannabe con man. Nobody should put any credence in what he says. I would rather hear from Eugene" Big Cock Sly Eyed" Lambrusco. You people would be persuaded by Al Capone's opinion on the best Italian restaurants in Chicago... Bunch of gullible Kool-Aid drinking social media sheep termites.. Fucking amazing and this is why Trump ,is President, Now.... after the fact,,,, you all are bedides yourself... Where the fuck were you in November. Do not tell me some people on these "liberal" sites did not vote for Trump... Bullshit!

Cohen isn’t a ‘bag man for a mob boss’ any longer. He got out from under. As Kimberly said, he knows Trump’s mind better than anyone else. That’s a better reason to listen to him than anything else.

I agree. He did his time, unlike Orange Face. He hurt his family which I know hurts him. And he does know Mr. T better than any of us.

Peter,

I understand what you mean. I can see that you are justifiably angry. I'm angry too. There's some truth in all you say. However, truth and honor and kindness are also powerful. Think on really brilliant powerful men like FDR, Winston Churchill, Mahatma Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln. They all profoundly changed the world for the better. They all had to fight in their world situations. We have to fight now. I grant you that I am also disgusted by the number of flat out cowards in our Congress and Judiciary. But there are also brave and determined people thinking hard, and working hard on how to flip the script and fight this fight in many different ways. One thing about monstrous old fascists, and especially not very smart monstrous old fascists, is that one way or another they will end up dead in a bunker someday and all his minions will scurry off in terror. Keep faith in the fact that there are a lot of Americans who feel just like you do.

I can't believe there is no way to get petitions going in every state saying the People have no confidence in the current administration and demand the removal of the President, Vice President and House Speaker. They have desecrated every agency established for the benefit of the People.. They have disregarded the almost every amendment to the constitution. This administration is overthrowing our government in 1000 manuevers. Can't we do that?

I think there, is possibility Mr. Abrego Garcia is killed by El Salvador Gov, that’s why they’re not returning him. I am sure Trump knows it too.

By the way we are paying El Salvador millions of dollars to jail these people. Easy to bring back those that were sent illegally ….. stop paying El Salvador!!

I heard that the judge can try to stop the funding for the El Salvador prison. García lawyers may do a contempt charge but it will only be subordinates that would be held. We shall see.

All Americans have been touched by PBS and NPR programs. I can’t imagine a single person who doesn’t know Sesame Street or Mister Roger’s Neighborhood — their characters and their ability to elevate children intellectually. And who doesn’t know PBS Kids, Masterpiece Theatre, Call The Midwife? These programs and services are sewn into the fabric of America society. But of course, the reason for cutting these programs is to punish and inflict pain. He must be stopped. Congress, do your job and reject cutting these programs.

Trump is a vile malignant presence who has no appreciation for any beauty or history. The man is stuck in a hammock with Kim Novak in 1954. You "can not imagine?" Brace yourself. I bet you a perfect Whopper that over 80 % of people under 25 have never heard of Big Bird,. and know what? 75% do not even know what PBS is. You give these morons much too much credit. I would guess over 50% of MAGAMORONS have nev er heard of Mr Rogers Your maiden name is Italian

There are indeed people who have never seen any of the shows you mentioned. I doubt Trump has ever seen them either. No chases, little to no violence or sex and can make you think. Who wants that?

Why the hell can’t he be impeached? He’s breaking laws and giving the government the finger. He absolutely believes that he and his gang are above the law! Why can’t we get the armed forces to go in there and remove all of them?

I’m pretty sure they would if they could.

I really hope he dies before me, so I can spit on his grave! (I hope I don’t get kicked out of here for saying that)!

Because he owns the Congress and the SC. We followed the law and gave out country to a convicted fellon. With no little help from the oligarchs and Putin.

They impeached him twice. If we are still alive in November 2026, he will be impeached and he win be removed, because the balance with Democrats will be different,. and Republicans will see the real horror. The question is will we live that long... Dictatorships are bad for the digestion, and overall health. Fuck Von Herr El Csar Trump.. Spit on his grave? I want to see the reruns of red ants devouring his eyes.

They will not stop there. This is why the media is struggling to cover anything these days. Trump has frightened upper media management to an alarming degree. Soon it will only be propaganda news. Democracy needs a free press to survive

What do you thinik would follow the smashing of DEI and de-funding any schools who use DEI in their hiring and student admissions practices? Any books that told the turth about what slaves or native Americans really went through when the Europeans arrived are banned in all public schools in Florida. That's thanks to our MAGA Republican Governor. Donald Trump is a full out Dictator, and things will only get worse until we do something to stop him.

... followed immediately by getting his butt sued! Works every time!

Just because he can resist the ruling concerning that whole El Salvador thing doesn't mean he can do it with everything else!

SUE! SUE! SUE!

Everything is made a scapegoat.

That’s clear. Fight for NPR & PBS.

The current administration punishes all Americans.

Children of the wealthy watch their programs as well as everyone else.

Keep the vengeful

From the children and all who partake

Of the Arts, Education, science, Nature and everything of interest.

I looked at that photograph of Donald Trump's face and can not believe we actually have this person in the seat of President in this country. Emily Dickinson referred to "an ample nation" -- was this Trump person really what we want in the White House, out of the entire, ample United States Nation?
