Trump and Rubio are liars. Maduro was democratically elected. The reason Trump and Rubio are lying is because they want to overthrow Venezuela and steal their oil.

@Metal-Brain saidHaha, good one. His opponent got 67% of the vote but Maduro declared himself the winner after having 2400 people that opposed him thrown in jail.

@Metal-Brain saidMaduro is a communist dog that needs to be assassinated. More than 10,000,000 people fled Venezuela in the last 15 years. That kind of mass exodus is not consistent with winning free and fair election. Biden and Harris leans to the left so they were fine with doing business with that crook. Trump is right to cut Maduro off.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidFunny, Trump is trying to revoke TPS protection for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who fled that "illegitimate regime".https://www.nhpr.org/new-england-news/2025-03-04/mass-haitians-venezuelans-sue-trump-administration-over-changes-to-temporary-protected-status

@Metal-Brain saidIf Venezuelan immigrants are fleeing tyrannical, illegitimate government, then they have legit asylum claims. But trump just revoked asylum protections for Venezuelan immigrants, which implicitly means they don't think they have a tyrannical illegitimate government.

One of the many trump administration policies that conflict with each other and suggest incompetence.
@wildgrass saidWell, well, that is a load of nonsense. Having a legitimate claim for asylum cannot guarantee that you will be allowed to stay in the US. Clearly you are muddling up a few concepts there. The US can at will halt refugees from any country, even if it means you are going back to your country to die, if they so choose, without giving reasons.

@no1marauder saidTPS , temporary protected status is not a guarantee neither [by definition] permanent, and can be revoked without notice.

All immigration is a privilege and not a right. No alien can enter the US or any country for that matter, and make rules or insist that privileges must be granted to them.
@Rajk999 saidActually, we have these things called "laws" in this country that even the President and his henchmen are required to follow. Whether this administration can rescind a TPS designation is currently in litigation.

From Perplexity :
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
Eligibility Criteria: TPS is granted to nationals of countries designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security due to ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or extraordinary conditions. Eligibility requires continuous presence in the U.S. since the designation and meeting specific residency requirements12.
Discretionary Nature: The decision to designate a country for TPS is discretionary and based on consultations with other government agencies. The Secretary's decision is not subject to judicial review13.
Temporary Duration: TPS is temporary and can be extended or terminated based on conditions in the designated country. Extensions are typically for 6, 12, or 18 months, and the status does not lead to permanent residency24.
Renewal and Termination Risks: Beneficiaries must regularly renew their status, and there is always a risk that the designation could be terminated if conditions in their home country improve or if U.S. policy changes67.
No Pathway to Citizenship: TPS does not provide a direct pathway to lawful permanent residence or citizenship. Beneficiaries may apply for other immigration benefits if eligible, but TPS itself is not a guarantee of long-term status78.
In summary, while TPS offers temporary protection and work authorization, it is not a guarantee due to its discretionary nature, temporary duration, and lack of a pathway to permanent residency.
@Metal-Brain saidThat is only the start of the Trump corruption team. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state, take over Greenland, take Panama for starters, Just practicing for the time when he becomes a full fledged dictator.

@Rajk999 saidOne thing of note though, When the traitor Muskrat started a chainsaw to our agencies, the one he literally hated because he saw some of the work of USAID killed Apartheid in South Africa where he was a rich white boy and he WANTED apartheid to continue and so has a hard on against USAID before he ever came to Canada or the US.

So he gets his revenge by tearing it apart.
Well not so fast, SCOTUS actually sided with lower court rulings that was illegal and now the top court ruled against Trump and his leader Musk, they have to give back two billion they cut out of USAID and start the money flowing so they can feed literally starving people around the world and to keep on giving aids meds to HIV patients around the world and that kind of thing is not just out of goodwill, the Aids help means if some of those folks with aids comes into the US they won't be able to transmit aids to our citizens, sex or not.
When that aid was cut off, millions of people got their meds cut off in mid stream.
When means the disease can roaring back and now they have to restart all that.
They first came out with all the BS propaganda about billions in fraud and when asked exactly what fraud did you find, we found this FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND dollar grift going on, which is why we killed USAID.

But the other points about aid to Africa .. sometimes people need to look after themselves. Aids is a selfinflicted disease.
@Rajk999 saidWe shall see, The lawsuits allege that there is no statutory authority to rescind an already existing TPS determination and even if there was, Noem did not follow the required procedures under the law, made numerous outrageously false statements (claiming persons under a TPS order are in the US "illegally" when the program is authorized by statute) in her determination to rescind and that the statements of Trump administration officials show impermissible racial bias. https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/gdvznqblxvw/03032025tps.pdf

@Rajk999 saidYou didn't get the part where that was NOT just goodwill? To keep those with aids who might fly into the US and spread Aids again, that won't happen if we continue the treatments around the world.

It is not my emotional state talking about USAID, that is exactly what happened to Musk when he was a child.
We call him Muskrat because he is a POS ASSSHOLE with an anti American ax to grind.
Getting into all our most sensitive data in all of our agencies like defense department computers, financial records that he will be able to such out data from his business competitors what could POSSIBLY go wrong?
That has NEVER happened in the entire history of the US, 250 years and now this assshole gets to peer into our most dangerous data for someone who wants to profit from that data.
NOBODY had that level of penetration to our most sensitive data before EVER.
This is not emotional, this is SEERING HATRED.
