Your joking right or are you just trolling?, The Military Show, multiple admins nothing known about author of the video and you thought it somehow important to post that anonymous pointless garbage here, really?

Neither. More like ignorant to the topic I admit.

I saw the video in my YT feed and saw around 5 minutes of the video, when I decided it could be interesting to post it in our US-Politics thread, because we have been discussing 2nd civil war in the US now and then.

I’m wary of any anonymous shows posted by Europeans that declines to identify its operators or sources. The video is pointless crap and has nothing to do with reality, U.S. domestic, foreign policy or election campaigns. Maybe you can start a new fantasy what if thread and post stuff like that there.

In the real world we have wars, inflation, massive debt, high energy, food, housing prices reaching records highs, bankruptcy at all time highs, border and immigration problems and a presidential debate coming up with its own unique fanboy drama attached.

Jan 6th insurrection/riot/Mrs. Chulsits third grade field trip.... I believe my eyes in this matter.

"In the real world we have wars, inflation, massive debt, high energy, food, housing prices reaching records highs, bankruptcy at all time highs, border and immigration problems and a presidential debate coming up with its own unique fanboy drama attached."

I'm looking forward to the debate. By the loud and relentless whining from FOX about how biased and unfair the upcoming debate is, I'm sure they're scared of just how bad Trump will be.

Anyway, a shot across yer bow for the weekend. :arrgh!:

Trump's Promise if Re-Elected: "The Largest Deportation Operation in U.S. History"

Quote:

Five days before the presidential debate, former President Donald Trump once again made immigrants the focus of his campaign, as he did in 2016.

At a large rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Republican candidate reiterated his promise to "initiate the largest deportation operation in U.S. history" and to close the southern border if re-elected according to El Espaniol.

Using the same strategy that helped propel his previous campaign, Trump accused immigrants of being the root of the country's biggest problems.

Blaming Immigrants for National Issues
In his speech, Trump referred to many immigrants as "drug dealers, gang members, and murderers," falsely claiming they take jobs away from Americans, especially Latinos and African Americans.
He cited recent incidents involving foreign suspects, such as the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston, Texas, for which two Venezuelans were arrested and charged.

"They crossed our border claiming to fear for their lives in Venezuela, but you know, crime in Venezuela has gone down... because they've brought all the criminals here," he said to applause.

Controversial Proposals and Criticism of Biden
Trump also mentioned the arrest of an Ecuadorian accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in New York, and recent charges against a Salvadoran for the rape and murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland.

In a joking tone, Trump suggested immigrants should have their own fighting league similar to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), proposing to his friend Dana White, UFC's president, to create a competition for immigrants that would be highly profitable.

"You're going to start a new fighting league with only immigrants... and at the end of the year, the immigrant champion will fight your champion (the UFC's), and I hate to tell you Dana, but I think the immigrant will win. That's how tough they are," Trump quipped, continuing his rhetoric that new arrivals are violent.

Another 1400 or so people have been charged with basically what amounts to trespassing & disruption the other 78,600 or so people who exercised their constitutional right to assemble went home and watched the same thing you did. Contrary to what your eyes saw on tour favorite media sources and party fanboys have declared NOBODY has ever been charged with insurrection nor has your arch enemy ever been accused of it. It’s a sham and the kook fringe extremists are living a fantasy all their own demonize an entire law abiding voter population,

I'm looking forward to the debate too. But the preceding loud and relentless whining of how FOX news is biased and unfair is just more kook fringe pointless arguments.

I’m looking forward to the debates too. BUT, I don’t give a sheet about the Blue Anon Alex Jones style kook fringe whining and arguments about FOX News or any other media source. IMO only fools believe a talking head’s opinion matters.

Ok , too many whiskys, gotta go. :)

Trump's Plan For The Presidency, In His Own Words

Quote:

Mass expulsions? Political revenge? World peace? A new golden age? As Donald Trump vies for another term in the White House, America is abuzz with speculation over how life might look with the ex-president back at the helm.

In a series of interviews and campaign rallies, the Republican has offered some clues.

Here are Trump's plans for the United State and the world, as set out by the candidate himself.

President Joe Biden's rival in November's election has pledged to launch the biggest deportation operation of illegal migrants in US history on his first day in office.

"We're going to get them out as fast as we can," he has said, accusing undocumented migrants of "poisoning the blood of our country."
The 78-year-old, known for his unfinished border wall project, has said he would be happy to "use the military" as part of the effort and would open detention camps to process targets for expulsion.

"On day one of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the law, going forward the future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic US citizenship," he said in a campaign video.

He has confirmed he also plans to reinstate his ban on entries from several Muslim-majority countries, as a means of "keeping terrorists the hell out of our country."

Trump has been saying for months he could end the war in Ukraine in "24 hours," without explaining how.

Critics suggest his plan would involve pressuring Kyiv to cede territory illegally occupied by Russia in both 2014 and 2022.

"I will have that settled prior to taking the White House," he told a rally in the midwestern city of Detroit recently. "As president-elect, I will have that settled."

The ex-president is highly critical of Washington's shipments of weapons worth billions of dollars to Kyiv, and of the funding requests from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"It never stops", he told the Michigan crowd.

Asked in a town hall with Fox News whether he would remain committed to NATO during a second term, he replied: "Depends if they treat us properly."

Trump envisages tariffs of "more than 10 percent" on all imports.

US companies -- and eventually their customers -- pay for import tariffs, not the companies exporting the goods.

Trump insists that the revenue collected will finance a "middle class, upper class, lower class, business class big tax cut."

Having waged a fierce trade war with China during his first term, he also plans to revoke the Asian giant's "most favored nation" status, granted to promote trade.

Trump claims he will "stop inflation by stopping the invasion," arguing that his immigration crackdown will reduce housing costs and other expenses.

Trump never misses an opportunity to point out that it is partly thanks to him -- and his three conservative Supreme Court appointments -- that abortion rights have been considerably weakened in the United States.

But he is more ambiguous about the future of access to reproductive health care.

Insisting it should be an issue for the individual states, the Republican has balked at pushing a nationwide abortion ban, a commitment that would win him support from the religious right.

"You must follow your heart on this issue but remember, you must also win elections," he said in April.

Trump slammed the door on the 2015 Paris climate accords during his first term.

If reelected, he said at a rally earlier this month, he "will stop Biden's wasteful spending and rapidly terminate the green new scam" -- a reference to the funding committed by his successor to mitigating climate change.

"I will repeal crooked Joe Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate and we will 'drill, baby, drill,'" Trump told supporters in Wisconsin, using an old Republican slogan.

"Energy costs will come down very quickly," he vowed. "In many cases we'll be cutting your energy costs in half."

Trump, who was convicted in May of felony business fraud and faces three further indictments, has baselessly and repeatedly claimed his various prosecutions are a political witch hunt by Democrats.

The Republican has pledged to "appoint a real special 'prosecutor' to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the USA, Joe Biden."

No investigation has produced evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden.

He also said he was "absolutely" ready to pardon all the Trump supporters convicted of storming the US Capitol in Washington to prevent Congress from certifying the Republican's 2020 presidential election defeat to Biden.

FACTSHEET: FINAL FY23 NUMBERS SHOW WORST YEAR AT AMERICA’S BORDERS—EVER

October 26, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the House Committee on Homeland Security released its latest “Startling Stats” factsheet outlining U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) September and Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 border encounter data. In the final month of FY2023, CBP recorded 269,735 encounters at the Southwest border, marking another unprecedented milestone under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden’s open-borders policies. This monthly number also represents an 86% increase from June 2023, when the Biden administration celebrated a short-lived drop in illegal crossings following the end of Title 42.

The annual numbers proved just as catastrophic. In FY23, CBP recorded more than 2.4 million encounters at the Southwest border and more than 3.2 million encounters nationwide.

Just this fiscal year, 169 individuals on the terrorist watchlist were apprehended attempting to enter the country illegally, and at least 1.7 million known gotaways have evaded apprehension since FY2021.

Americans did not need more proof that Biden and Mayorkas’ post-Title 42 strategy had failed, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what we have gotten.

As this disaster spirals further out of control, the Biden administration does not know how many dangerous illegal aliens are entering the country undetected, especially as Border Patrol agents are being pulled off the front lines to help process and release the historic number of illegal aliens flooding the border. While monthly apprehensions and encounters continue to increase, Mayorkas simply continues to double down on his mass-parole programs, incentivizing and facilitating the entry of otherwise inadmissible aliens into the United States at a scale never before seen.

Key Facts:

Encounters at the Southwest border (SWB) in FY2023 increased over 40% since FY2021, 4% compared to FY2022, and more than 100% compared to FY2019.

Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported a 40% increase compared to September 2021 and 18% compared to September 2022.

Since President Biden took office, there have been 7.5 million encounters nationwide and 6.2 million encounters at the Southwest border, in addition to 1.7 million known gotaways.

In FY2023, 169 individuals whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry. 18 were apprehended in September alone.

So far in FY2023, CBP has arrested 35,433 aliens with criminal convictions or outstanding warrants nationwide, including 598 known gang members, 178 of those being MS-13 members.

In FY2023, CBP, including Air and Marine Operations, has seized 27,293 pounds of fentanyl, coming across the Southwest border—enough to kill more than 6 billion people.

I don't think it would make any different People who have decided to vote for Trump will vote on him even after this letter signed by 16 nobel price economist have been posted in some American newspaper. I see it more like they are trying to scare these Trump supporters

Quote:

Sixteen Nobel prize-winning economists have signed a letter warning that the re-election of former United States President Donald Trump would harm the US economy and lead to higher prices for consumers.

In the letter released on Tuesday, the economists said that the Republican candidate would stoke instability and revive high inflation with his “fiscally irresponsible budgets”.

The economy already sucks and the cost of living has skyrocketed. Inflation is still higher than desired and may still be a few years before we see it stabilize. Add Biden’s Middle East foreign policy closing down access to the Suez to the mix and shipping prices will cause higher costs and supply chain issues.

Marcus I should also add those 13 were the same 13 mindless Biden fanboys that signed a highly-publicized open letter three years ago assuring Americans that Biden's "Build Back Better" spending spree would "ease longer-term inflationary pressures."

Then whoops! 18 months later inflation soared to 9.1% under Biden – the worst U.S. inflation in almost 40 years! And that number doesn’t even include what hits the pocketbook the most, the price of food and gas

This would be the medical equivalent of amputating the wrong leg.

I bow in defeat, acknowledging that you are right. I didn't think of that when I posted the link. That the inflation in USA is the worst in decades

Also that I used aljazeera was because all the other newspapers would not show their website due to my adblocker

Swift sentences to be carried out just like France did for the Templars.

Chyna will just sit back and laugh all the way to the bank. :har:

While it is only US citizens who will vote, the eleciton result andf the events after announcing them affect dozens if not hundreds of millions beyond the borders as well. And many cannot afford not to be interested in what by formal deifntion should be an inner US affair only. But it cannot be that.
