Originally published at: They’re Giving The Whole Game Away - TPM – Talking Points Memo
You don’t have to squint to see it. In a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday that you have likely already seen by now, President Trump made clear that his Priority No. 1 Mass Deportation Scheme goes hand in hand with the retribution agenda: invading blue cities, stoking chaos and panic among residents and punishing the…

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.”
Well no shit sherlock - with unemployment at 4.2%, and 20M undocumented workers, there’s no way in hell you can replace the illegals with 'mericans, even if the jobs they do didn’t suck.
Also maybe consider changing the law so those “very good, long term workers” can get legal status, you dumbass.

It’s one thing to be “quietly” targeting Trump’s “enemies” by actions, but isn’t there an equal protection argument that can be sued over when it becomes official policy to discriminate in the application of the law and law enforcement?!?!

And raise their wages?
I don’t think that’s part of the reactionary plan.

I was just wondering: did anyone at the Heritage Foundation imagine the Project 2025 was gonna stay on the down low when they partnered with Donnie?

Although I am seriously surprised that he has not targeted Hyatt Hotels. Owned and managed by the Pritzker family.

his deportation agenda is rooted in retribution against the Dems
And who is a Democrat? Anyone who disagrees with Trump. That means retribution against most everyone. World-wide.
Up for a litmus test, Republicans? No? You can stop it.

We really are dealing with toddlers, no? I mean toddlers don’t necessarily understand consequences of actions taken, or words spoken. But their Dear Leader is out front saying and tweeting exactly what he wants done. And I’m a bit surprised that he hasn’t signed an executive order that our country is in lock down, and martial law will be in effect until every single brown, tan, beige, black, yellow person on US soil has been immediately shipped off to a foreign country. Doesn’t matter if they’re US citizens, citizens that have been here longer than Trump’s family lineage, if they can’t pass the color bar test they’re outta here!
Just waiting to hear the argument on why Native Americans are real Americans.
Another thing I’ve thinking about is the young vet Marcos Leos who was detained by US Marines when he was trying to get to his Veterans Affaires appointment in the federal building the Marines were guarding. He was released shortly latter, but what it says to me is that that the Marines didn’t understand that they were patrolling outside a federal building, with federal offices that folks still had appointments at.
I’m betting that if the National Guard had been guarding the building the outcome would have been the same.

This dumbass arrived just before the 1PM start of Saturday’s No Kings protest in West Chester, PA.
Ms. Brutus and I arrived after he was arrested, thankfully.
The nitwit had an unlicensed / unpermitted handgun, several magazines, pepper spray, a BAYONET, a ski mask and gloves on him. In his car, not a block away was an assault rifle. I can’t imagine what he would have done if the local cops didn’t see him and arrest him.
For some reason, he was allowed to post bail after his arrest.

I don’t think enough attention is being paid to the all-caps use of “REMIGRATION” - a term for ethnic cleansing that originates in European fascism - in Trump’s truth social post, just a couple of days after the news hit that he plans on opening an Office of Remigration.
Per that Media Matters link, this news has been kept pretty quiet in the media so far; it’d be nice to see TPM help shine some light on it.
EDIT: Not to say that TPM hasn’t covered it at all; just feel like there should be more attention on it in general, and TPM is generally great about amplifying stories that are overlooked or intentionally buried!

Four weeks later Obama kicked Romney to the side.
Wonder what Felon47 going to do now that his numbers are tanking.

(Named Chaos!?!

Sean Duffy: “And to cities that stand by while rioters destroy transportation infrastructure — don’t expect a red cent from DOT, either. Follow the law, or forfeit the funding.”
For a second I thought, “Who’s destroying transportation infrastructure,” but then I remembered: this is MAGA. He’s pulling undiluted bullshit straight out of his ass. What he really means is “If you’re a blue city we are going to break the law and cancel funding set forth in laws passed by Congress.”

That’s apt. When I check the news every morning now, it’s with a sinking feeling.
