The fact that you can blatantly post such anti-American, anti-Constitutionalist, anti-human rights BS is just wrong.
Is ajax suggesting that a US citizen should not be allowed to live in any part of the US that he wishes? That seems profoundly unconstitutional.
It is. He doesn't care because he doesn't support the Constitution.

I'm saying don't California my Texas and don't New York my Florida.
You really ought to study the difference between ownership and citizenship.

Which branch of the military are you enlisting in, to take part in the Iran war?
I'd gladly fight if they would have me. But until then, I'm content to contribute to the Trump campaign. I want to pay taxes to something important like this that benefits the red American economy and national security. And for the so called American allies who were unwilling to help, I'll be happy to impose a tariff on all goods that they wish to ship through the states of Hormuz, which we will rename and annex as the straits of Republican America. Democrat America will be subject to the tariff as well.
Now you're just trolling. No one is this monumentally ignorant.

Speaking of ignorant trolls, Trump is now begging for workers to come to the US and… work.

He "F"s up the economy, drives us further into debt doing so, tramples the Constitution, and is now, “Wait! Come back!”

Do you dumb damned MAGAs register any of this?

Remind me again how OPEC getting to charge higher prices, the Russian economy being saved, the highest tax increase on American consumers in modern history, our trade partners abandoning us for other countries, longtime allies boycotting our goods, and the Jones Act being suspended so foreign companies can use domestic trade routes in America, benefits the American economy and national security?

Is it kind of like when Trump had taxpayers pay almost a million dollars per person, for a handful of jobs to be saved, while ultimately losing twice as many jobs? I dunno, paying a million dollars for every two jobs that were ultimately lost doesn't seem very beneficial to the American economy. Then again, I'm not a brilliant businessman that has bankrupted casinos.

Note that his Visa plan makes it legal to exploit foreign workers through reduced pay, and larger deductions in compensation for food and lodging.

It wasn't long ago, Ajax and others were chastising leftists for wanting farm workers to be exploited. Now, we have the god-emperor laying out a plan to make the exploitation even worse, and legal ta-boot, and wouldn't you know it... crickets.

They will be called Trumpigrants, and MAGA will welcome them with open arms, because Trump let them in.

Just as they will be happy to pay more for gas, eggs, energy, healthcare, and housing, and will root for Forever Wars, because Trump Did That©, and MAGA must absolutely love and promote everything that Trump does.

Nobody is that good an actor.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
