Comrade Trump

[Commando]

Get out your tin foil hats, guys. DHS- on its official website-- blowing out white supremacist dog whistles so hard they are passing out.

Wow the title of that article sounds vaguely familiar... https://www.adl.org/education/refere...mbols/14-words

Check out that second to last little paragraph. My, that's an odd number to start from in describing asylum applicants, wouldn't you say?

OH wait...

He's had a hard week...gotta secure the base

Pretty safe bet that it's Stephen Miller who wrote this. He knows how to talk to the white supremacist/neo-nazi crowd.

Trump is not racist because he never signed a notorized document admitted he was one.

Doesn't have to be a true racist. Just playing one on TV gets him what he wants quite well.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy tinfoil hat stuff. Let's say it's true. What's the point of putting all that symbology in that article?

The POTUS is pretty open about his racist nature. No need to hide it in something like this.

Stephen Miller knows these are the symbols of the white supremacist/neo-nazi movements. and is trolling anyone who will notice it. He realizes most people won't, but he can give a good laugh/shout out to his buddies on the extreme fringe. If you've read some interviews with Miller like the one below, this is basically his admitted schtick. He wants to create uproar. If Commando noticed, people like the ADL or Southern Poverty Law Center are going to notice also, and that is who he is trolling.

So some knuckle draggers get some giggles out of this.

and reminder that Trump is still with them. No different than Trump's Charlottesville comments. Trump's only political strategy is to hold together his base, whatever it takes and no matter how fringe some of them are.

Tariffs are bad for business. So is terrible, racism-based immigration policy. Unfortunately politicians can still do a lot to screw up the economy through terrible ideas.

So SU is wrong?

No, what I just said agrees with what his said 100%

He gets worked up over socialists because politicians are still capable of screwing things up. But I do think he's right about economic freedom.

Those Nazis! Immigration is not so easy in even (formerly "open border") Germany either:

Germany Just Agreed To Essentially Close Its Borders. How Did We Get Here?
Rigid work restrictions forced hundreds of thousands of people to sit in camps, in limbo, living on taxpayer money. Nothing good can come from that.
[...]
But by 2018, the public mood had soured significantly. A new YouGov poll finds 72 percent of Germans saying their country's immigration policy is negligent, with only 12 percent saying it's about right. Last week, the reversal in public sentiment became official when the German chancellor ended a standoff with hardline immigration restrictionists in the government by dealing a mortal blow to the concept of open borders. She agreed to speed up deportations, to turn back refugees already registered in another European Union nation, and to let anti-immigration leader Horst Seehofer remain as head of the ministry charged with implementing these policies. She even acceded to opening "transit centers" along the border in Bavaria where refugees could be detained, though this provision was later dropped.

The deal is a dramatic repudiation of everything Merkel asked Germans to believe in just three years ago, which leaves many wondering: What on Earth went wrong?
[...]
Merkel could have enacted new immigration laws focused on easing barriers to employment. Admittedly, this would have required major policy changes for a risk-averse country, such as opening low-wage jobs to newcomers—but it would have helped avoid the idleness (and resulting boredom and frustration) that can push people to commit crimes, which in turn increases resentment among the native-born population. Instead, she threw the problem at a bureaucracy unaccustomed to dealing with high levels of immigration and hoped it would figure something out. The consequence has been plummeting support for refugees and a German people more bitterly divided than at any time since World War II.

The most important line in the article:

so basically they threw open the doors but didn't allow for people to take jobs? No wonder. It wasn't allowing people in that was the problem. It was allowing them in and not allowing them to do the basic things needed to be successful, like have a job. Not smart.

Sorry, I just don't get the logic behind being protective of lower level, lower paying jobs so the natives can take them even though they'd love to either not have to take them or want those jobs for as short of time as possible before moving on to something better.

Of course I don’t think you can play one without being one.
