So, someone had a bright idea that’s a bit similar to what he has been fussing about for years. He thinks it’s a great idea. He’s doing a variation of something he’s already done and sees no problems with it. So, what’s wrong with this picture that I’m inflicting “bodily harm” (not really) on myself? What’s wrong with this picture that I’m gobsmacked? Let’s see, here….
President Donald Trump, speaking at the House Republican Retreat in Doral, Florida, suggested Monday that he wanted to fly American criminals to other countries who will incarcerate them for “a small fee.” “I don’t want these violent repeat offenders in our country anymore. If they’ve been arrested many, many times, I want them out of our country,” Trump said. “Let them be brought to a foreign land and maintained by others for a very small fee as opposed to be maintained in our jails for massive amounts of money including the private prison companies that charge us a fortune. Let them be brought out of our country and let them live there for a while and see how they like it. You’ll see crime all over the country dry up.”
Whaaaaaaat? He‘s screaming about returning all these “criminal” immigrants to their own countries. The vast majorities of them aren’t criminals and have been swept up in these so-called raids by ICE. Well, they’ve put quotas (oh ffs) on ICE so they might be overzealous. But he wants to send OUR criminals to another place. Dude. You can’t have it both ways. Sure the arrival country would get money for it but…..wtf. I would guess he sees absolutely no problem with this theory since he came right out and said it. Of course, he says a LOT of things that he likely doesn’t understand. See the idea of turning on water pipes to get water from the north of California into the south *rolls eyes* that one was a doozy. I think this could be very well more expensive than flying “criminals” out of our country. They’d probably be treated better too. Or at least in public they’d be treated better. Maybe. Actually, I have no idea how our criminals would be treated in public. The “criminals” we are deporting are in handcuffs and chains. No wonder other countries are having fits about how their people are being treated. That’s inhumane.
But really now, deport hundreds of illegal immigrants, then send our criminals to another country and pay them for it. This makes less than no sense. I can’t see another country being willing to do this. After the way we’ve treated the immigrants, who is going to want to take in our criminals, payment or no payment? And why can’t I even peripherally understand what the hell he thinks he’s doing? I can’t get into his head like Murf could. I just try to understand what’s on the outside looking in. And it makes no sense. I suppose this shouldn’t surprise me. It still does. But then I’m not a kind of person who could do that. (Yes, Scott, I’m still getting surprised.) I would guess more experience might give me a better idea of WTF the Confused Carrot is doing, but it’s going to take a while, I think. So here we are with another sound bite that doesn’t make sense. I expect there are (many) more to come.
******And now, please read a very special message from our awesome boss******
Friends, I am forced to self-promote and ask you for money. We had a bad year compared with 2023 and the end of the year has been catastrophic. Traffic died on November 5. We are a small blog and completely self-supporting by ad revenue, donations, and subscriptions. If you can afford a monthly subscription that would help us out. If you can make a small donation, likewise. Our only goal is to stay in business and give you the best content we can generate. You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you. Ursula
My guess is this: remember when he said “they’re sending their criminals, they’re emptying their jails and sending them here”? I think he wants to try the reverse of that. Nevermind that really didn’t happen in the first place, in his mind it did.
I had thought when I heard him say that about sending Americans who have a criminal record to other countries. Could he be thinking of sending them to Russia as, say, canon fodder? Just a thought.
Well, Susan, put a pillow under your head…here’s a couple more tidbits! The “strengthening” of the border and the “safety” of US citizens, through slash-and-burn deportation, is already costing a fortune, so Sphincter Face announced he will be stealing money from TSA. So, national security on flights is far less important than the deportation rodeo. And, the Big Sphincter is also going to steal money from the Coast Guard! So, one ot the major components for keeping illegal fetanyl from coming into the country…a supposed vital campaign promise because of the thousands of dead citizens…is also completely unimportant compared to the fun of the brown-people roundup!! Sphincter might as well put on a hat and yell “yeehaw!” 🤠🤬🤬🤬
I think this is a brilliant idea, frankly. And I can think of 1500+ insurrectionists that we can begin with.
Slightly off but memory fails me and I need help. Before he let lose on that “me tough” thought, the TV shots showed him waling down a corridor with military standing to attention on both sides. The immediate image was of Putin doing somewhat similar. My problem is to ask if I have seen other Presidents make the same walk or is this president emulating his master?
So, he wants to do what he is accusing other countries of doing.
Shipping their violent criminals here. Sounds on-brand.
He can start with the J6 thugs he released.
I think Trump wants to send ‘criminals away’ so he can send non white prisoners out of the country to make the U.S. more white. If those prisoners were released I think he thinks it’d be easy to prevent them from coming back in. Deathsantis publicly said that his cruelty to LGBTQ & immigrants is specifically to get them out of Florida so Florida is more white Christian super insecure men so intimidated by women that they can’t tolerate even considering that a woman might have more sexual experience and be able to identify tiny penises, premature ejaculating a men who are just sexually inadequate NOR can they tolerate women who dare share their own opinion b/c their fragile egos can’t tolerate a women being correct about something and they are VERY wrong to the point it makes the woman laugh at him. RW men ARE THE MOST INSECURE, easily intimidated, fragile ego’s, easily wmasculated minges on the planet. Absolutely pathetic.
