Trump has dutifully obeyed his Radical-Right Zionist masters' orders in waging a deceptive Bush-W-me-too-Iraq-War against Iran. Watch the MAGA morons get increasingly disappointed as the body bags of SUCKERS AND LOSERS start pulling Trump's polls down toward the midterms. Attending boring funerals for SUCKERS AND LOSERS dying for their country takes time away from playing Golf. Always be cognizant of the fact that Trump policies can nearly all be traced back to how the Zionist leash around his neck is yanked. Unless, of course, he is planning another seditious subversive crime against fair elections this coming November, in which case he's gonna go full monty on cheating, bullying, making up emergencies...

‘You Trigger My Gag Reflex’: GOP Senator And Witness Throw Down Over Trump’s Mass Deportations
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) sparred with CATO Institute Director of Immigration Studies David Bier during a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Tuesday about sanctuary cities in the U.S.
Kennedy began the tense exchange with Bier by bringing up some of his past statements, “Don’t you think your hyperbolic statements undermine your credibility?”
Bier replied, “What hyperbolic statement did I make?”
Kennedy added, “On February the 11th, 2026, you posted on Bluesky. My words — or your words, not mine. ‘The Democrats’ video telling service members to ignore illegal orders didn’t go far enough. They should have also urged them to refuse unethical orders, whether illegal or not. There are many things deemed legal that are still obviously unethical, and everyone should hold themselves to this higher law.’ End quote. Did I read that correctly?”
Bier replied, “I believe you did. Do you disagree with it? You think people should do unethical things in their capacity as–”
Kennedy jumped back in, “On December the 31st of 2025, you posted — in front of God and country, you said — quote, ‘They’ — referring to Republicans — ‘think they can troll their way into us accepting ethnic cleansing.’ End quote. Your words, not mine. Did I read that correctly?”
Bier hit back, “That was in regard to a Department of Homeland Security post advocating 100 million deportations. That is what DHS tweeted from their own account. A hundred million deportations would be ethnic cleansing. You would be removing one-third of the country. So yes, there are people within the Department of Homeland Security–”
Kennedy cut in, “And you don’t think this is hyperbolic? Give me 30 more seconds.”
Bier replied, “I think advocating 100 million deportations is ethnic cleansing.”
“On February 5th, you quoted — you said the following on Bluesky,” Kennedy continued as Bier jabbed, “Your time is up.”
“These are all good, but there’s no enforcement mechanism. I’m sorry, let me try a better one,” Kennedy replied, adding:
On March 2nd, you said, quote, “If you rule against Trump’s population purge agenda” — no hyperbole there — “the nativists will name you, threaten you, and come after you. These judges are much braver than the ICE agents who hide behind masks while violating the Constitution.”
Bier doubled down, “They are much braver. They put their names on their rulings, and they stand behind their constitutional rulings.” He concluded:
When I talk about “population purge,” I’m talking about the fact that they’re trying to deport US-born citizens — people born here. They are trying to deport them as well. So it’s not a mass deportation agenda; it is also an agenda intended to reduce the population of the United States, including US-born people. So these are not hyperbolic statements. I appreciate you reading my account. I appreciate it. Here’s the good news—
Kennedy concluded as he was urged to wrap it up, “Wait a minute, Mr. Chairman. What planet did you just parachute in from?” The committee chair tried to stop Kennedy there as he added, “You trigger my gag reflex.”

David Bier, a witness at a Senate Budget Committee hearing Tuesday, drew a incoherent rant from digusting southern-drawling imbecile GOP Sen. John Kennedy from backward Louisiana. Bier has accused the Trump administration of engaging in a "population purge" in the U.S.
Earlier in the hearing, Bier, an immigration policy expert at the CATO Institute, argued that both legal and illegal aliens "are a benefit to this country" because they help to reduce the national deficit.
Bier claimed that federal judges opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement operations "are much braver" than U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. "They are much braver. They put their names on their rulings, and they stand behind their constitutional rulings," said Bier.
He accused the administration of carrying out a "population purge," saying, "They're trying to deport U.S.-born citizens, people born here, they are trying to deport them as well. So, it's not a mass deportation agenda, it is also an agenda intended to reduce the population of the United States, including U.S.-born people."
Earlier in the hearing, Bier had called for "more" immigrants to help address the soaring national deficit. While being questioned by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., Bier said that there are "clear reasons for believing that they are reducing the deficits and debt, they are a benefit to this country, and we need more people who are going to contribute in the future as our population ages."
Bier said "it's easy to understand why" immigrants reduce the deficit "because they work at 12 percentage points higher than the national average, they use less benefits because they're subject to constraints, unique barriers to applying for those benefits, in particular Social Security and Medicare. Those are by far our largest programs, and they're not eligible for those at all if they're here in the country illegally or if they came legally and they don't have a sufficient work history to qualify."
After the hearing, Bier later told Fox News Digital that "this exchange had nothing to do with illegal immigration" and that "the question was about immigration generally." Bier posited that more immigration is a positive step for the country.
"According to the Social Security Administration, we need about 35 million more workers in order to keep revenues equal to expenses by the middle of the 2030s," he said. "So, we are at a position right now where immigration is not going to solve it. Obviously, it's not going to solve it, but it is moving us in the right direction."
He praised immigrants, saying, "These are people who are showing up, they're ready to work, they're often prime age individuals who are ready to enter the labor force."
"So, it's a huge benefit fiscally to the United States to have these people who want to contribute to our country," he added.
Bier was not the only one arguing in the hearing that immigrants can improve communities. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., one of the Trump administration’s most outspoken critics, took a similar line, arguing that sanctuary policies actually lower crime, poverty and unemployment.
"Data shows that sanctuary policies actually make communities safer, healthier and more prosperous. That's right, the evidence shows, the research shows sanctuary jurisdictions have lower crime rates, higher median household income, less poverty, less reliance on public assistance, higher labor force participation, and lower unemployment," said Padilla.
"That's right. It seems like sanctuary cities are helping to make America great, I said it," he added.
