  1. Doesn't that sound like something Hitler or Stalin might have said? Except they would have been referring to countries they invaded that couldn't stop them.
  2. Agreed with the bolded but not the two following that. Ilhan Omar has been a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2000, so she could theoretically be deported if she were found to have committed significant immigration or naturalization fraud. However, there has not been a shred of proof offered by Trump or anyone else that she was involved in any way with the Somalian fraud scheme in Minnesota or even had knowledge about it. The only connection seems to be that she was born in Somalia.
  3. Not a duplicate thread. This a thread for all news and issues regarding Omar, not just on Trump's rant about her today on Truth Social.
  4. My posts in this thread are about setting the record straight as to what really happened here, not defending any community. Once again for those who missed it, here are the facts, which can pretty easily be verified: Don didn’t lead a group of protestors into a church or organize anything. He was told a group would be protesting in the church and he simply went inside to document and interview. Note: It has been reported that one of the pastors of the church is an ICE agent (which I have been unable to verify) which apparently was the reason for the protest that Lemon was simply covering as a reporter.
  5. I am correcting the record and false narrative you have posted here. To repeat: Don didn’t lead a group of protestors into a church or organize anything. He was told a group would be protesting in the church, and he simply went inside to document and interview. I’m sure a simple court order of text messages etc will easily corroborate this.
  6. From NYT subscriber content: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/us/politics/hegseth-mark-kelly.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20260105&instance_id=168826&nl=breaking-news&regi_id=125207237&segment_id=213149&user_id=14502a7228c5a9b835a15627514bfe28 Hegseth Starts Proceedings Against Sen. Mark Kelly Over His Remarks Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military had started administrative actions against Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, that could result in a reduction in his retirement rank and military pension. In November, Mr. Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers who served in the military or the intelligence community released a video reminding their still-serving counterparts that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders. In a social media message issued on Monday, Mr. Hegseth called the video “seditious” and criticized Mr. Kelly for a “pattern of reckless misconduct” aimed at undermining good order and discipline in the ranks. Mr. Kelly and his lawyers maintained last month that the senator was simply articulating a fundamental principle of military law. They noted that Mr. Hegseth had made similar statements in the past. “If you’re doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that,” Mr. Hegseth said in a speech to the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley in 2016. “That’s why the military said it won’t follow unlawful orders from their commander in chief.” In the video that prompted Mr. Hegseth and President Trump’s ire, Mr. Kelly said: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.” Mr. Kelly, who retired from the Navy as a captain, flew 39 combat missions as a naval aviator and four spaceflights as an astronaut. As a retired naval officer, Mr. Kelly is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and therefore can be recalled to active duty and disciplined. The other Democratic lawmakers in the video did not serve long enough to retire and do not receive a pension or fall under military law. Mr. Hegseth also said he had issued a “formal Letter of Censure” that will be entered into Mr. Kelly’s permanent personnel file. The decision on whether to reduce his retirement rank and pension will be made over the next 45 days, Mr. Hegseth wrote in his message on social media. [...]
  7. https://x.com/MaileOnX/status/2013101222946123891 (tik tok video at link): Don Lemon, just made a TikTok confirming this. He says he was simply engaged in "an act of journalism." "Why don't you talk to the actual person who is in charge of the organization and whose idea it was to have the protests at the church before you start blaming me for stuff."
  8. As I suspected, the real story is not what is reported in the OP.
  9. https://x.com/JoyceWhiteVance/status/2013211636543213756 Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance · 1/ About 1,500 active-duty soldiers, two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division, are under prepare-to-deploy orders for possible action in Minnesota. This means Donald Trump is actively contemplating invoking the Insurrection Act. Absent that, deployment of active duty members of the military is prohibited by the Posse Comitatus Act. 2/ It bears repeating that the American military isn’t meant to be used for domestic law enforcement against American citizens, barring extraordinary circumstances that simply aren’t present here. 3/ Trump could become the first President to direct the use of U.S. military forces against American citizens during peacetime. And he’s doing it in a situation where the “unrest” is mostly peaceful protests resulting from Trump’s efforts to inflame the city. The situation is hardly the kind of insurrection, domestic violence, or conspiracy the Act contemplates, 4/ The 11th Airborne’s mission: “decisively defeats any adversary in extreme cold weather..through large scale combat operations.” They are ready to “deploy, fight & win decisively against any adversary.” Learn more about what Trump is doing here: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahead-7f3

    You mean like you quoting Mr Fantasy?

    Endzone dances are pretty darn feminine.

    I agree as this end zone dancing is definitely pretty feminine.
  12. The worst is that I don't think it's shtick, he probably really means that.
  13. I have mixed feelings about this...the left has got to start organizing some sort of response, but I fear this might be the excuse Trump is looking for to invoke the Insurrection Act.
  14. Shouldn't the people of Greenland have the right to self-determination?
  15. Trump's World is trending on Twitter and I thought it be nice to have a Trump general discussion thread that doesn't call him "Father" Here's the hastag: https://x.com/search?q="TRUMP'S WORLD"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends And I'll do the first post:
  16. Thousands? Talk about hyperbole! Looks like it was about a hundred at best and probably not even that many.

    Do liberals ever stop whining?

    Does the OP ever stop whining about liberals? Seemingly not.
  18. You sure have started a lot of threads about "no such thing"
  19. It is laughable the Trump administration is acting like it is on the high moral ground after the US experiments on blacks at Tuskegee without their knowledge or informed consent.
  20. Don't try to confuse poor League Champion with the facts.
  21. There are female to male trangenders, in case you didn't know that already.
