And Guantanamo is outside the jurisdiction of leftist Federal judges, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is War, After All: Trump Prepares to Send 30,000 Criminal Illegals to Gitmo Barack Obama wanted to close down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and Old Joe Biden freed numerous jihad terrorists in an effort to empty it altogether, but now Donald Trump has found a new use for Gitmo: He has directed that it be prepared to house criminal illegal migrants. This is a superb idea for several reasons. [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/01/29/this-is-war-after-all-trump-prepares-to-send-30000-criminal-illegals-to-gitmo-n4936493

At LONGEST last. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Biden Failed Jewish Students, Donald Trump Is Stepping Up [...] The new executive order outlines specific directives for federal agencies to report on and propose additional measures to combat campus anti-Semitism. Within 60 days, department heads are required to submit comprehensive reports on existing civil and criminal authorities that can be leveraged to fight back against these rising tides of hate. The order doesn't pull any punches; it declares, "It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools." This robust approach signifies that the federal government will not shy away from prosecuting those who engage in anti-Semitic harassment and violence. Sadly, we got such a lackluster response to the growing normalization of hate during the Biden years, but this order signals a shift—a commitment to accountability. Further measures include [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/01/29/joe-biden-failed-jewish-students-donald-trump-is-stepping-up-n4936497

Talk loudly and swing a yuge stick: Trump does Teddy Roosevelt one better Judging from the first week or so, the Trump doctrine is going to be: We can do it the easy way, or the hard way. Those are the words the president used in a post on Truth Social last week threatening tariffs on Russia if it didn't cut a peace deal with Ukraine. Trump is a president who understands, and has no hesitation in using, the leverage the United States has abroad as the world's pre-eminent economic and military power, and the leverage he has at home as a newly elected president with a mandate and the strong backing of a fervent political movement. He's going to talk loudly and swing whatever stick he has at hand. His brief diplomatic tussle with the president of Colombia was instructive.

Or re-burdened by what had been gotten rid of.

Given the difficulties in firing government workers, I guess it's to make the deal more attractive to more takers.

Let him rot there.

It is Wednesday! To give a laugh and to prompt approvals (that is, if correlation = causation), here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE RUDE CUSTOMER A man went into a restaurant and was seated. All of the waitresses were gorgeous. A particularly beautiful waitress came to his table. "What would you like, sir?" she asked. The man looked at the menu, looked at her, then answered, "A quickie." The waitress turned and walked away in disgust. After she regained her composure, she returned and asked again, "What would you like, sir?" Again the man looked at her and answered, "A quickie, please." This time, the waitress' anger took over -- she slapped him across the face with a resounding SMACK and stormed away. A man sitting at the next table leaned over and whispered, "Uh, I think it's pronounced 'quiche.'"

This thread is old, and the OP hasn't logged on to VJ since October, so a reply is unlikely. Consider sending the OP a private message or starting a fresh thread in this forum.

Trump Reminds Colombian President He Wants Two Coats Of Wax On His Limousine WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following a brief dust-up and threats of a trade war over the weekend stemming from the U.S.'s new policy of rounding up and returning illegal aliens to their countries of origin, Donald Trump was overheard reminding Colombian President Gustavo Petro that he wanted two coats of wax on his limousine. President Petro had reportedly offered to fly in early Monday morning and wash Trump's presidential limousine in an effort to smooth things over after initially standing in defiance of Trump's goal of repatriating Colombian nationals who had entered the U.S. illegally. "Just remember, Gustavo, that's two coats of wax on the limo, okay?" Trump was heard shouting outside.

Thanks To Trump Ending DEI, The Babylon Bee Is Finally Able To Fire Its Only Female Writer U.S. — The Babylon Bee would like to publicly thank President Donald Trump for making good on his promise to get rid of all those DEI rules, allowing us to take immediate action and fire our only female writer. We were sick of her not being funny but needed a good reason to get rid of her without having all those DEI employment people breathing down our necks. The office is going to go back to what it was intended to be in the first place: a gentleman's club full of fine cigars, strong beer, darts, a billiards table, and maybe we'll even get one of those armchairs that recline fully and has drink holders on both sides.

Sad: With Border Closed, This Murderer Now Forced To Do All His Murderin' In Mexico PIEDRAS NEGRAS — Lost in the furor over the Trump administration's immediate implementation of plans to round up and deport illegal aliens throughout the United States and close the border was the plight of a murderer who said he was now forced to do all his murderin' in Mexico. Oscar Gonzalez, a career criminal, has set his sights on entering the United States in early 2025 in search of a brighter future of murdering Americans instead of Mexicans. He was devastated, however, to discover that the election of Donald Trump all but shattered his dreams and left him with no choice but to stay in Mexico for his vicious streak of killings. "No bueno," Gonzalez said when interviewed through the border fencing. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/sad-with-border-closed-this-murderer-now-forced-to-do-all-his-murderin-in-mexico
