migrants as a grave danger

immigrants in the country illegally could evict local residents from their homes.

even allies like the European Union would face new trade restrictions 

Crime is through the roof, and you haven't seen the migrant crime yet

the 2024 election could be the nation's last.

purge the federal government, including public health and intelligence agencies, of corrupt actors.

attacked Fani Willis . . . who is prosecuting Trump for trying to overturn his 2020 defeat

support modifying the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to make a vice president covering up a president's mental incapacity an impeachable offense.

attacked the political leadership of Colorado and Maine.

Colorado authorities had ceded control of parts of the state to Venezuelan gangs.

Almost 100% fearmongering and threats of retribution.

That's Trump's message.

Well at least he found some new boogymen, or maybe I should say boogystates to rage about instead of California. I suppose in a sense that represents progress?

His rage against immigrants is what I think disgusts me most. I come from a family of immigrants who just showed up. My wife and step daughter are immigrants. Most of the people building our new garage are immigrants and not just Mexicans or Central Americans either. A couple of them are Syrians who fled Assad. They came here as teenagers and if you would never guess they didn't grow up in the US their English is so good. No accent or anything. I know too many immigrants who are good people to share the fear and hatred of immigrants that Jupiter spews. It is really detestable and slanderous what he says.

“warning without evidence that immigrants in the country illegally could evict local residents from their homes.”

How would that work? Any 45 whisperers able to explain?

Tariffs are a tax paid by everyone.

American was built by immigrants. The current illegals work and pay taxes.

Tarrifs are a tax paid by American consumers. While they may have narrow roles (and even that is debatable) they’re economically ruinous in the aggregate.

Trump is an idiot playing to morons. He is either lying or he doesn’t know a thing about economics.

The ones that ARE LEGAL do. The illegals ones have no business being here and should be sent back.

They also work and pay taxes doing jobs Americans won't do.

I see, so that means since I’m a fellow tax-paying person, I can just roll up to your house move in, take over your food and use your facilities because we are all in this together? As a matter of fact, no home or building should have a door, lock or fence, go where you want and do what you want, Japan should let every Chinese person and South East Asian person come in, we should also help and accommodate every prisoner and just get rid of all prisons. Yeah, I mean what could go wrong?

They also work and pay taxes doing jobs Americans won't do.

So they can break our laws, funny how all the open borders people are so protective over Japan’s sovereignty, the Japan sycophants here will fight to the country’s bitter end to safeguard its sovereignty, but the U.S…naw….

And sometimes all three at once.

I’d take a mother walking a thousand miles or mor, across the Darrian gap for a chance at the American dream for her children over a beer-gutted gun nut goober 3 times a day and 7 times on Sunday.

That’s ok, they live and eat and want to have normal lives just like the rich, snobbish, misguided elites

And sometimes all three at once.

Yes

Ok, besides the usual Trump hate rant, a serious question, why not take, cloth, house and feed as many of these illegals as you can? Why won’t anyone in the Democrat party live next to these people? Why won’t they bring them to their communities? Oh, yeah, they tried that at Martha’s Vineyard and the libs just all lost their minds. So liberals want illegals, but they just don’t want them living next to them.

You mean by providing them with social services and kindness. If that “losing one’s mind” you have none.

Ok, so then why not send them to where all the rich people live? You know the rich White, liberal elites that thrive on diversity? Why not take them in? They have the money, land mass, real estate to accommodate these people, they are kind like uh…what’s her name, Oprah, she can pay for all that and even buy them a car. As you say, the rich should pay up, pay their fair share, well, start with the illegals, see how much money they can get out of John Legend or Cher….

take over your food

Immigrants are taking over your food?

we should also help and accommodate every prisoner and just get rid of all prisons.

You've been fed a giant lie about "migrant crime", and prisoners and mental patients being released and sent to America. It's ludicrous.

 they can break our laws

There's no evidence this is a problem.

But statements about law and order are pretty rich coming from someone who idolizes a convicted criminal, tax cheat, and sexual predator.

Why won’t anyone in the Democrat party live next to these people?

They do. So do Republicans. Most often without a fuss.

Most often they're hard-working people who have gone through great hardship getting here. Why? Because there are jobs to be had that people like you don't want to do. That's the magic of the marketplace, baby!

 liberals want illegals, but they just don’t want them living next to them.

Nonsense.

The Saturday rally was one of the last public appearances Trump will make before his debate with Harris in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Many of his allies are pushing him to concentrate his attacks on policy and steer clear of deeply personal broadsides. “

This is the (only) key to Trump completely destroying Kamala in the debate—

because at the end of the day it is not difficult to dominate and expose a fake, radical, dishonest and incompetent candidate like Kamala Harris.

Btw, Trump said something interesting the other day, he explicitly told voters that they don't have to like him to vote for him; even if they can’t stand him, people should vote for him because the reality is this isn't a popularity contest, it's about results—quite accurate and a brilliant statement from Trump.

I don’t think that Vice President Harris is a worthy president of this country. We need to have a president who can give an interview, who can articulate a vision, who can put together an English sentence, who can articulate her and defend her policies. And who can engage in a debate with, and regular debates, unscripted appearances. “ – RFK Jr.

Well said, Bobby.

take over your food

Yeah, because all the MAGA beer-gutted and morbidly obese look emaciated.

ROFL.

why not send them to where all the rich people live? 

Poor people can't afford to live in rich people's areas.

That includes citizens and non-citizens alike.

And NIMBYism is not confined to any political persuasion. Both Democrats and Republicans have priced the working class out of anywhere close to their neighborhoods.

But it's the MAGA party that whines about "illegals" while reaping the benefits of cheap labor.
