Trump's Plan: "Just Clean Out Gaza"!

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"President Donald Trump said Saturday he’d like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate."

“I’d like Egypt to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”

Geez: Trump's Goofy "Emergency" Tariffs On Columbia

So what is your "Geez" about? Do you want them in your house?  Do you want to pay for them?

If so, then make a move, otherwise why don't you just say "Thank you President Trump".
BS! That's the Murdoch reporting from the New York post and the like. The tariff war is on and the president of Columbia sent his plane over to retrieve the Colombians that had already arrived in Latin America and you don't know what their status is or whether they committed any real crimes other than being here illegally but if they did, they deserve deportation but we don't deserve a trade war over it!

Trump's holding off on his self-inflicted trade war for now:

"President Trump will hold off on imposing steep tariffs on Colombia after the country's government agreed to accept deported migrants being returned on military planes, the White House said Sunday night."

Of course, Trump world will celebrate this as some sort of "victory"....

That last sentence applies to you and your president since both of you "think" that instigating a trade war over migrants is worth it. If they're criminals, beyond being illegal immigrants, they can jailed be here until their transportation can be negotiated. As noted in the link in the OP, Mexico has refused the same military flights but, Trump is "thinking" about a tariff war with them (and Canada).  And all of the latter is not "Just as you stated above" in your own BS post... 
BTW, genius, if the president of Columbia decided not to allow the military flights and Trump wouldn't back down, we'd still have the migrants AND a trade war! Talk about an Fing idiot...

Here's the news video of the process deportees encounter after being deported to Guatemala. Basically, they were here illegally. Other than the use of military flights to return them, the process and the kinds of deportees are essentially the same as it has been under Biden:

Hey Richie, do you think this will stop 'em from deporting all those immigrants?

"Dozens of Jewish groups protest Trump’s plans for mass deportation"

"Signatories to the open letter include leading Reform and Conservative Jewish organizations."


“[W]e write in opposition to your Administration’s plans to launch mass deportations, build massive detention camps, and conduct sweeping raids,” the letter says. “We urge you to chart a different course and change your stated plans for widespread persecution of immigrants. America has long prided itself on being a place of refuge, a beacon of hope for those fleeing persecution and seeking a better life.”

https://www.jta.org/2025/01/27/politics/dozens-of-jewish-groups-protest-trumps-plans-for-mass-deportation

OR:

"President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans have been rebuked by local clergy"

"In the religious community, Trump’s deportation plans have been broadly rebuked — including by the Catholic Church’s highest human authority, Pope Francis, who referred to them as “a disgrace,” according to the Associated Press."

I'm not an idiot influenced by some political group, as you are. 

And I know a bunch of Catholics who can't stand this socialist Pope, so is there some reason that I or any other person should care what this Pope thinks? 

Does this pope have a bunch of homeless illegal migrants occupying Vatican City?  I guess I missed those photos.  

Can you post them DB?
Hey Richie, the Trump "JD" Putin-commie supporter, who do you think will provide the manual labor for agriculture when the migrants are deported in mass?  The manual labor for housing construction? Thinking of signing up as a replacement?

BTW, more than half the immigrants arrested thus far are here illegally but have no criminal records or actions. This is despite the fact that the Trump folk have said they would focus on deporting those with criminal records/actions.

BTW, the use of military flights (per flight) costs about eight hundred grand. The cost for using civilian flights, as with the Biden administration, is one hundred thousand per flight. And the only reason military flights are being used us for the aesthetics that this is a military operation in order to impress the Trump base.

Back in the day, when Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, and ALL the rest of the Democrat party were winning elections, WANTED ALL illegal aliens removed, You would be out there railing against illegal migration.

Which is par for the course of an unthinking drone and sheep of the Democrat party.
I see our resident supporter of the Trump "JD" Putin-commie team is totally whacked with his nonsensical statements, that of course, are WRONG.

That goes without saying but, back on topic:

"At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids since Wednesday, according to Navajo Nation officials."

"The following day, the office of Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren issued a news release citing “negative, sometimes traumatizing, experiences” among Navajos and advising tribal members to “carry state-issued identification, such as a driver’s license, other picture identification, or their Certificate of Indian blood, known as a CIB.”

https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/trump-ice-raids-navajo-nation-arizona-newark-rcna189491

What,  they didn't have their CIBs with 'em?! THAT'S ON THEM!

Also noted in the above link:  "Last week in Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka released a statement after an ICE raid in his city, saying that citizens — including a U.S. military veteran with military documentation — had been detained without the agents producing a warrant."

“This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment,” Baraka wrote."

I'm sure he'll need psychological counseling after that one.  Was that supposed to tug at my heart strings? 

And when did you or any other leftist freak ever give 2 shits about the men and women of the military?? 

Let me recall...... Oh wait that would be Never ever.  But now if you can exploit something that happened for political purposes you will.  

My answer to that would be to tell that mayor that if he's so worried about this vet, pay the guy out of his pocket $10,000 to ease his suffering.  

Now then, as for the Navajo Nation, I'm sure they'll get over it.  

Next....
We're all sure you give two ---- about the 14000  transgender people serving in active duty in the military who may very well be booted out by Pete the Fox news game show host because, gasp, they're transgender!

And, just as obviously, you don't give two ---- about the Navajo nation either since you tell 'em all to "get over it."...
