Howl ? ? ā¦ alrighty thenā¦
Chickens coming home ā
āErratic.ā TPMās full of mispellings these days.
millenials are not that stupid
āBut most of Trumpās supporters say at the end of the day theyāre willing to give him the benefit of the doubtā¦ā
Because they have nowhere else to go.
Damn! Tierneyās by far my favorite author at TPM because of her comprehensive reporting combined with utter clarity that is usually error-free, but this piece has more editing errors in one piece than Iāve seen in everything else Iāve read here in the past month!
Great piece after my mind fills in all the bloody corrections and occasional missing words. Just ONE reread before posting? Please???
āI hope there isnāt a shift, because this is a position that he has gained a very considerable amount of support,ā Jared Taylor, founder of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance, told TPM Wednesday. āMany Americans are very tired of the idea that anyone who manages to waltz across the border can stay, and a candidate who is willing to says, āNo you canāt stayā has a great deal of appeal for Americans who care about their country.
Folks like Taylor,Duke,Coulter, etc would have never backed Trump, if they felt that he was a political chameleon on this issue. To them, its either ādeportationā (good) or āamnestyā (bad) in regards to this issue.
Anyhow, its nice to know that immigration reform will be making its proud return on that autopsy report.
yes they do have a place to go to: home.
Heās so screwed by the polls. So predictableā¦so typical of a politician what his next move would be but to no avail.
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
āKeep ancient lands, your storied pomp!ā cries she
With silent lips. āGive me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!ā
Where does it say, ābut you canāt stayā?
ETA: going by some responsesā¦ This is the full poem on the base of the Statue of Liberty, most people just know the last bit
"He needs to make it [mass deportations] palatable to the millennials, so toning it down is fine with me.ā
Yes, in much the same way Wilhem Marr coined āantisemitismā to make it more scientific sounding than plain, ole ājudenhass.ā
Awww, itās just words. /s
Gee, I guess the crazies have noticed the āpivotā.
Is it wrong that Iām smiling?
His weird alt-right creepy culty supporters will still back him because they donāt think he really means it. They are fine with him saying whatever to win. Thatās the mindset heās attracted; the people that get off on him being a bully, acting like a spoiled fratboy, calling names, all the lies, putting down anyone that he thinks deserves it. Trump was 100% right when he said:
āI could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldnāt lose any voters,ā he said.
They will overlook this latest flip flop, like they do all the other dumb shit heās said and done.
It is quite fun to see him flail on this issue though.
āOptimisticā white nationalists maybe, but angry white nationalists could make Donald a hunted manimalā¦
āWaltz across the borderā! I want to smack his smug little face. Or better yet, set his lilly white ass down in the desert and see how he fares.
āHe hasnāt reached out to anyone who advocates for European interests,ā Damigo told TPM.
Trump: āOK, but only the dagos and the frogs.ā
So now heās the ācompassionate deporterā. Or something.
Wingnuttia canāt have any of this compassion crap like Dumbya fooled people with.
Iāve been popping into Trumpās Reddit lately to see whether his seeming shift has ignited any upset, but so far I see very little of note. As you indicate above in the story Tierny, Trumpās followers (and I donāt want to generalize too much here) seem to have a thick hide when it comes to seeming Trump swivels on policy.
I have noted earlier, that Trump holds so many positions on issues that his followers can easily seize on the one they think best matches their views and dismiss all the other ones as just , āTrump being Trump. We know what he REALLY believes and what he will do as President.ā
That gives them the rationale to continue their support even when he suddenly comes up with an apparently flip-floop like his latest on immigration policy.
Donald doesnāt hold many of his policies tightly. So often it appears that when he responds to a question, he simply reacts right then as if it is the first time he was ever asked to state a position. Out it blurts and suddenly Lewandowski, and then Manafort and now Kellyanne find themselves having to try and scramble and put the best spin on his latest switch.
Go ahead Donald. Keep being Donald. Donāt let that teleprompter hem you in!
"The ONLY way he can win this election is by running on immigration and rallying the white base.ā
rewrite!!!
āThe ONLY way he can win this election is by running from the white base and rallying on immigration.ā
curious, how both are impossible.
