As always, another lie and an example of gross incompetency.

To date Trump has not deported a single immigrant more than Biden has been doing all along. In fact, even the vast majority immigrants he has had arrested have been released back into the country for lack of facilities to house them.

In order to remedy this, the genius, Tom Homan, has promised to build housing for 30,000 immigrants in Guantanamo. The problem is there is only room for 30 prisoners right now. Do you really think he can increase in by one thousand with the limited budget he has now?

Also, the courts haven't yet decided whether, or not, Trump has the authority to carry out his threats. Will they risk building 30,000 units which will never be utilized?

Yet another example of the arrogant incompetence plaguing this administration.

For the third time in this incipient presidency this shoot from the lip proclivity has led to unforeseen consequences for the dullards advising Trump.

As is often the case, some Bozo said, "Hey, why don't we threaten Mexico and Canada with tariffs on their auto industry, 'cause that will give us leverage over them in future negotiations"

And, as always, he responded, "Duh, it sounds good to me."

What these GED dropouts didn't consider is that the American auto industry will be impacted by those tariffs, too. Parts for automobiles are shipped and transshipped across the border many times in the manufacture of automobiles and if tariffs are charged each time the cost of manufacturing will skyrocket. This will inevitably lead to downsizing, if not the shutting of entire factories and the loss of working men's wages on all sides of the borders.

Beyond that the manufactures of the many parts will be stunted, also. These small parts providers are themselves reliant on other small parts providers for various cogs, gears, wires, glass and plastic lenses and housing, etc., etc.... Ad infinitum.

The entire auto industry of three countries will be in chaos because these bumbling bunglers are too engrossed in flexing their insipid muscles to realize the significance of their stupidity.

First, they screwed up foreign aid and had to rescind their dopiness, then they lost a few billion gallons of water the farmers of California will desperately need this summer, and they have finally recognized their stupidity and are forced to once again rescind their absurdities, and in saving face gesture are walking back the tariffs on Mexico and Canada they say for thirty days -- it will not be for thirty days, this imbecility will end completely.

I can hardly wait to see what their wobbling incompetence will bring tomorrow.

Trump goofs again and billions of gallons of water needed by California farmers is lost forever.

We've warned before about the danger of incompetents in high places, and Trump just lowered the bar even further.

Obviously some moron in the White House (probably Stephen Miller) said, "Hey, I have a good idea. Why don't we drain some reservoirs in northern California and let the water run downhill to Los Angeles" To which agent orange replied, "Duh, sounds like a good idea to me".

Of course, no one checked to see if the water would actually go to Los Angeles -- in fact, it won't! There are physical barriers preventing it. In order to re-route he water it will have to be pumped over great distances and at great cost; but no one thought to check. Aside from that the fires were sustained by 100 MPH winds, and no fire department in the world could stand up to that.

So, now that water, so necessary for the farmers is lost forever.

Amateurs, fools, and arrogant numbskulls do not act, they react --shoot from the hip -- and never consider the ramifications of rash acts before they blindly rush on.

If this is the way they screw up something as innocuous as water, what is happening to out nuclear arsenal?

Kim Jong Un said it best -- dotard, and we have to live with it until we fix it with the implementation of the 25th Amendment.

President Donald Trump recently ordered the release of massive amounts of water from two California dams, and now local farmers are scrambling to preserve precious freshwater resources needed for dry summer months. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — acting on Trump's orders — released water from the Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and the Schafer Dam at Lake Success, which are both in Tulare County in the San Joaquin Valley. Whereas water was originally flowing from the Terminus Dam at 57 cubic feet per second (cfs), it's now reportedly flowing at more than 1,500 cfs. The flow from Lake Success went from 105 cfas to 990 cfs as of Friday morning.

In a post to his official X account, Trump tweeted a "photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California," writing: "Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons." He suggested that the water release would help officials in the Golden State fight wildfires in Southern California.

"Everybody should be happy about this long-fought Victory!" he tweeted. "I only wish they listened to me six years ago – There would have been no fire!"

There is more of his blithering idiocy here:

Remember when the states had full control over their schools and blacks couldn't get a decent education; looks like ' What goes around comes around'.

Again, we are talking about vouchers that will divert public money to private schools and religious academies -- mostly religious academies. And every penny diverted is a penny less public schools will have to purchase supplies or pay teachers a living wage.

Public schools do not indoctrinate students (Christian madrassas do),do not try to sway the students into believing radical political aberration. They educate the whole child, and ignore right wing propaganda.

Keep reformist politics out of our public schools. and public money out of private hands.

This is how they lay the groundwork to control the minds of the children:

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a pair of executive orders that could transform public K-12 education in the United States. The first is an order directing federal grants to help fund state-level school choice programs, and the second attempts to ban so-called "radical indoctrination" in K-12 education.

The school choice order directs the secretary of education to issue guidance on how states can use federal formula funds to fund "K-12 educational choice initiatives." The order also contains provisions to expand school choice opportunities for low-income families, military families, and those eligible for Bureau of Indian Education schools.

"When our public education system fails such a large segment of society, it hinders our national competitiveness and devastates families and communities," the order reads. "For this reason, more than a dozen States have enacted universal K-12 scholarship programs, allowing families — rather than the government — to choose the best educational setting for their children."

The second order denies federal funding to K-12 schools that engage in "illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools, including based on gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology." Under examples of this "discriminatory ideology," the order lists teaching like "members of one race, color, sex, or national origin are morally or inherently superior to members of another race, color, sex, or national origin," or that "an individual, by virtue of the individual's race, color, sex, or national origin, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously." The order also reinstates the 1776 Commission, a group dedicated to promoting "patriotic education."

While Trump's school-choice executive order primarily works to allow states to use federal funds to expand school-choice programs, his order against Critical Race Theory attempts to reshape the ideological tenor of many public-school curricula. Governments generally have wide latitude to direct curriculum decisions in public schools, but there's reason to be cautious of orders like this. Many "divisive concepts" measures, like this executive order, are "so vague that they arguably forbid teaching about slavery or racism at all, even uncontroversial and anodyne statements of historical fact," warns the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment group.

However, it's almost certain that the "radical indoctrination" executive order is constitutional. While similar laws have generally not been upheld when they've been applied to universities, laws like Florida's STOP WOKE Act have been allowed to go forward in their applications for K-12 schools. Public university professors have full First Amendment rights, but public K-12 teachers face much stricter limits on academic freedom.

"Imprinting anti-American, subversive, harmful, and false ideologies on our Nation's children not only violates longstanding anti-discrimination civil rights law in many cases, but usurps basic parental authority," reads the order. "Demanding acquiescence to 'White Privilege' or 'unconscious bias,' actually promotes racial discrimination and undermines national unity."

MAGA, he promised you protection and prosperity, and typically he lied about that, too.

Now, no matter the demands your boss puts upon you, you have but two choices; submit or be fired!

Previously the National Labor Relations Board would be there to protect you from unreasonable demands being put upon you; but no longer. You see, Trump has fired the acting chair, and in doing so shuts down the entire Bureau.

Increase your working hours, reduce your salary, diminish your benefits, not a damn thing you can do about it!

This is the result the oligarchs paid him for, this is Musk's desire laid out on a silver plate, this is the beheading Bezos dreamt of.

Even if you have a union, there is no other entity to which they can appeal.

You laughed when you thought he would stick it to the liberals; look in the mirror, liberal!

In his ongoing rampage against the laws of the land, Trump this week fired National Labor Relations Board acting chair Gwynne Wilcox — despite her congressional appointment not being up. Wilcox’s firing closes down the NLRB, because it’s left with just two members, and the Supreme Court has ruled that the board needs at least three to issue any rulings. Trump also fired NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, leaving board attorneys who investigate employee and employer complaints without any guidance.

Presto — American workers are no longer protected from illegal firings or unfair labor practices by their employers. The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 is effectively gone. Employers can now wreak havoc on their workers. Of course, most employers are already doing this, but at least the threat of unionization kept some from blatant bullying.

The backstory here is about power. Score another one for the oligarchs.

Across America, big corporations are treating their hourly workers like shite. Unions are about the only countervailing economic force and one of the last remaining political forces pushing for worker health and safety. But the latest data (out Tuesday) shows that unionized workers continue to lose ground — now down to under 10 percent of the workforce.

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world and a key Trump adviser — who over the years has compiled a truckload of violations from the NLRB, including firing workers who tried to form a union, and who kept his Tesla plant open during the pandemic in violation of state law — says he’s “opposed to the idea of unions.”

Billionaire oligarch Jeff Bezos, the second-richest person in America, who also stood prominently before Trump when he was sworn in January 20, has been waging an unrelenting war on Amazon’s warehouse workers. (When workers in a Quebec warehouse recently voted to unionize, Bezos responded by having the company order the closure of every Amazon warehouse in the province.)

Amazon owns Whole Foods. On Monday, workers in a Philadelphia Whole Foods market voted to unionize. Bezos is already taking aim.

An overwhelming majority of working-class people — especially men without college degrees, who form the bulk of hourly workers in Musk’s Tesla and Bezos’s Amazon — voted for Trump on November 5.

There are really two questions here:(1) How much more proof does the American working class need that Trump is not on their side but on the side of the oligarchs, who are siphoning more and more of the nation’s wealth to themselves from everyone else?

(2) When will Democratic leaders and lawmakers have the backbone to tell this to working-class Americans, and come down firmly against the oligarchy?

Trump is saying he'll go to war with the drug cartels, but not the Zapatistas. Additionally, the Mexican state doesn't war the Zapatistas to nearly the same degree as they do against the cartels. This must mean that there is a level of diplomacy between the anarchist territory and the nation-state. Could this proof of honorable diplomacy on behalf of the Zapatistas be used to garner support for th justice and liberation movements of the world, including the Zapatistas themselves? Perhaps we could use this historical occurrence to bolster the popularity and reputation for organizations like the Zapatistas, if after all, they aren't targets of direct wars or considered terrorists by nation-states, then they could be a shining example of a just alternative as a solution for the plight of the oppressed.

This excellent thread about why young men are getting more right-wing shows that liberals' demonization of young white males is driving them towards the far right. Someone may be a MAGA follower all because a 16 year old blue haired girl said "kill all men" on her Instagram story.

Similarly, I know a Latino who literally voted for Trump because "he hates the word Latinx and doesn't believe in 100 genders".

While it's not necessarily systemic like anti-POC racism or homophobia, young men are feeling like there's discrimination. How do we get them on board and understand that capitalism is everyone's oppressor?

This is something I wonder. Anti-black racism and xenophobia against Asians, non-Puerto Rican Latinos (our family is Puerto Rican), and other non-white immigrants are very common in my family, unfortunately. What I wonder is how likely will it be for anti-Semitism to become a part of it too? In general, how common is it for anti-black racists and anti-immigrant people/xenophobes to also become anti-Semetic?

For context, this family is also a very religious Catholic one, and they're all very pro-Trump and MAGA, or otherwise right-wing or conservative. I know Elon Musk is a part of the MAGA group, and we all know what he did recently, so it may be more likely than some people think.
