Weight and height reqs? What for? 4000 person battle royale mass brawl?

Some would say this is against the law, but that should not matter.
Making votes trackable so anyone can figure out who voted for each team seems like a plan with no flaws /s

I'm understanding everything you have said, you're not understanding me. The fact that ICE detainers TODAY are honored across the country and prisoners are held because of them literally proves they are not unconstitutional. Yes, I understand it's not the ICE detainer that matters itself, it's the holding of the prisoner due to them is the crux of the argument. Yes, courts have ruled that holding prisoners on just the ICE detainer is unconstitutional but that doesn't make it unconstitutional. A court ruled you could remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot because the 14th amendment but that was obviously overturned because it was a BS ruling. Whether ICE detainers can hold prisoners or not will have to be heard by the Supreme Court. Then, regardless of if the Supreme Court rules that it is indeed unconstitutional, the law will be changed in a manner to make it constitutional because that is how DHS/ICE/CBP is designed to operate by law.
Yeah... you are saying something that Asita agrees with

Why are you yeling when they agree with you?

Trump Mobile announced the T1 mobile phone in June 2025, made in America, accepting prepurchases with a $100 deposit. 590,000 people put down those deposits.

At least 4 shipping deadlines are now well in the past. And the terms have been updated several times since those orders were placed. "Made in America" became "America-proud design", which is of course legally meaningless. And a disclaimer has been added stating that deposits don't constitute a purchase, but an opportunity to buy "if" the product is eventually made, at their discretion. No refunds obviously.

The images of the T1 on the website were photoshopped Samsungs.

Follow-up to clarify that the T1 mobile did actually ship in the end, about a week ago (?)

The original render used in marketing was a photoshopped Samsung, but the final product turned out to be a rebranded HTC from 2024, with a slightly newer Samsung OS.

Did it though? Apparently a couple of news outlets got their hands on at least 1 phone, but I haven't heard of any actual users getting them.

I think it was last week that NBC News got a Trump Mobile phone shipped to them, and then they passed that phone over to The Verge, but as far as I can tell that's been the only phone that's been reported on, and it's just a single unit, and all of the reporting has just been based on the one phone that made its way to NBC.

As of 2 days ago reports were still that the phones hadn't been shipped.


T-Mobile also hasn't confirmed how many (if any) Trump mobile phones have actually shipped as far as I know.

Vietnam Is Moving People’s Graves to Make Room for a Trump Golf Resort

Vietnam is reportedly digging up people’s graves to make room for a $1.5 billion Trump-branded golf resort, because apparently even the dead aren’t safe from Trump’s gaudy real estate properties.



The project is planned for northern Vietnam outside Hanoi, and is tied to the Trump Organization and its Vietnamese partner Kinhbac City. It’s expected to include the Trump classics: golf courses, hotels, real estate, commercial areas, and parks across nearly 2,500 acres. We’ve yet to see renderings, but Trump’s second favorte son Eric has called the development “the envy of all of Asia and of the entire world.” Which is certainly one way to describe a resort that requires families to exhume their ancestors!

According to The Financial Times, the development could affect more than 4,000 households and require graves in the area to be dug up and moved. In the Chau Ninh commune, residents have reportedly been painting large X marks on graves to show that their loved ones’ remains have already been removed. Some burial sites even date back to the Vietnam War era.
The story gets even worse, because residents are saying that the compensation is nowhere near enough. The Financial Times also reported that 72-year-old Hoang Do was paid about $2,660 to move the remains of his son and parents. “It’s painful,” he told the outlet, adding that he was outraged by the payment.


The living are not exactly thrilled either. The Guardian previously reported that farmers displaced by the Trump-backed project were offered as little as about $12 per square meter of farmland, along with “rice provisions.” Many residents fear the resort will threaten their livelihoods in an agricultural community where land is not just an asset, but necessary for survival.

Reportedly the Trump Organization isn’t directly funding the construction, but it is licensing the Trump name and collecting fees from the project.

And, naturally, the politics in all of those are a huge mess. According to reporting by the New York Times, Vietnam broke its own laws to fast track this development because the country was trying to avoid steep U.S. tariffs from the Trump administration. Which included a threatened 46% tariff on Vietnamese exports. Of course the White House has denied conflict-of-interest concerns and said Trump Organization business is separate from trade negotiations blah blah blah.

I see the $1.8bn slush fund was killed after all, after backlash even from congressional Republicans.

The provision to exempt Trump personally from tax audits lives on for no good reason.

At least the traitors won't be paid for their treason with money Trump looted from the state.
