The Real timschochet

Does he have the power to do this? I honestly don’t know.

Yeah that’s unconstitutional and won’t fly.

Depends on the issue

Well first off we didn’t vote for a boss, we voted for a President. But other than that you’re correct. I believe that President Trump will indeed try to deport these people, not just the violent felons, but anyone here without papers. Let’s see how it goes.

I believe that the American people want Trump to stop people crossing our borders. I believe that the American people want violent felons who are undocumented deported. It’s a big reason as to why he was elected. I do not believe that the American people want the millions of folks here without documents who are NOT violent felons to be forcibly removed. You may want it, and Trump may want it, but the public doesn’t want it. And I think that we will discover this if it’s actually tried. Of course I could be wrong, I’m wrong a lot (obviously.) Guess we’ll find out.

You’re not acting like an American, IMO. But that’s just me because I am an American.

No because they work for less than $600 so it’s not a requirement.

I strongly suspect that several of these posts are designed to troll, for shock value. But on the other hand Trump and his folks may actually engage in this sort of cruelty or something like it. Those of us who disagree have no power to stop them in any event. So we’ll see how it plays out.

I wasn’t referring to you. I didn’t think you’d respond given that I’m Jewish. But you’re certainly welcome to.

I don’t believe that most people who commit misdemeanors are criminals.

I just remembered Nixon and I knew it wasn’t true.

So Crypto guys help me understand this better: Trump says he will be appointing people to financial positions that are “pro-crypto.” He also is pledging to make the USA the “capitol of Crypto.” What does any of this mean? What for example will it mean to me, to my life, to regular people’s lives who don’t trade in this? Will anything change?

This isn’t true.

I don’t like seeing innocent people get hurt.

It’s absolutely a moral stance. And a legal one. I think these people should be allowed to stay here and I’m in favor of them doing so. They broke a law coming here and should pay a penalty but it’s not my duty to enforce that. I’m not turning a blind eye. There’s no law that says I can’t hire them.

I put it in quotation marks for a reason. But I don’t like giving Stephen Miller ANY power. (I would, however, be willing to give the Steve Miller Band some power.)

I only hire them for a few hours at a time so no. I’m not legally required to do so because they are independent contractors.

We’re gonna find out. The first point- if it’s indeed brinksmanship, then it will only be tariffs on particular countries, like China and Mexico, in order to get them to do certain things. If it’s tariffs on EVERY country, as Trump promised, then it’s hard for me to see how it’s brinksmanship.

He’s giving them carte Blanche. Do whatever you want, the money will continue.

Can we leave the people who haven’t committed felonies alone? Are you good with that?

Stephen Miller named deputy chief of staff with “unlimited power.” Yeah OK I admit I’m a bit concerned about this…

I don’t want to distract from the main topic but: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/declassified-documents-shed-light-on-ethel-rosenbergs-involvement-in-her-husbands-cold-war-spy-case Technically you’re right. She wasn’t a spy due to illness. But she knew exactly what her husband was doing and was sympathetic and most importantly did not turn him in. The Soviet Union’s acquisition of our nuclear secrets and technology allowed them to maintain the Iron Curtain and caused the deaths and misery of millions of people. Ethel could have stopped her husband and did not. In my judgment that was treason and she well deserved her execution.

No official schedule released yet but here’s what we know so far: Monday Night: Joe Biden Tuesday Night: Barack Obama Wednesday Night: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Tim Walz Thursday Night: Kamala Harris Gonna be a star-studded event. No musical artists revealed yet, but rumors continue to abound of Beyonce and Taylor Swift. Only true patriots will be allowed to speak.

No, she wouldn’t. There are plenty of people who would. But Ethel was guilty.

This is wrong too. I would be in favor of repealing that tax.
