The problem is that his supports DO buy it!
Sure thing, Sherlock…whatever you say…
So Trump is a liar, ignorant of reality, or both. I think the media should continue to talk only about his poll numbers. That is very, very helpful in educating the electorate.
Didn’t Obama try to do something about the immagration issue,but as usual republicans said no.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) doesn’t support Trump’s plan. He said he’s confident that Trump’s idea is more talk than serious policy.
“He’s not gonna deport 11 million people,” Gardner said with a laugh.
Adolf Hitler is not going to exterminate 6 million Jews. That’s more talk than serious policy.
History :: Lessons :: Ignore :: Repeat
President Trump will weed out defeatist quislings like Ellmers who stand in his way. After all, the Nazis did the mass deportation thing, and America is at least as good as them.
Oh, he’s capable of it. He raped his wife and tore out her hair. He took the health insurance away from his nephew’s chronically sick child. He’s evil enough and then some. The practical, legal, and moral barriers remain, but that’s external to him. Nobody should ever assume he’s just playing a role and he couldn’t really be that awful. He’s that awful.
I posted this link on another thread, but it is perhaps even more appropriate here. For those who miss Keith Olbermann’s caustic comments:
Viewpoint: How would Trump remove 11 million people from the US?
By Keith Olbermann
Ah, the repackaging of Trump. Pretty soon they’ll be calling him the new Reagan…look out Bernie, you are going to get steamrolled. Imagine, the Dem’s getting beat by someone they coddled for too long…
It’s part of the new Republican therapy session “Pray Away The Things Our Nominee Says”.
Conservatives had been get used to that excuse.
It’ll be the reason why nothing will change in a Trump presidency despite Trump’s guarantees. Well, that’s not true. One thing will change.
Trump will get incredibly weathly without paying any taxes.
“You’ve got to remember, nkd, that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.” And racist, xenopbobic a-holes.
I don’t blame Republicans for trying to walk away (run away?) from Trump’s mass roundup and deportation plans. But I do blame the Democrats, starting with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, for letting them - and Trump - get away with it. They should be going after Trump and the Republicans every day - and in every way - on this. The Trump plan is nothing less than Naziism brought home to America, and Democrats must have the courage to say so. With the California primary coming up, there is no excuse for Hillary not to put this issue front and center-- and not surrender it to Sanders, like she has done with others. A couple days ago I wrote an email to Josh Marshall on this very issue:
"I’m glad (you are) examining the Trump deportation plans, but I think (you are) missing the most critical aspect of the issue: resistance to deportation orders across the country, including armed resistance in Hispanic communities and refusal to follow orders in the military, itself. I think there will also be many cities and big states that will resist the deportation troops coming into them. I can see governors in California and New York, among other states, calling out the state national guard to “protect” their jurisdictions from the Trump Deportation Roundup. There will almost certainly also be massive demonstrations with thousands of people putting themselves between the deportation troops and the targeted populations. All this will make the anti-Vietnam protests seem like a walk in the park. The will be violence, perhaps the most serious internal violence since the civil war. "
When the Republicans do it, it’s stump speech bravado. When the Democrats do it, it’s flip flopping. OK got it.
During his primary, Donald Trump swore he could deport an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country, illegally. In fact, with “really good management,” he vowed to get it done in two years. Then, he’d call on Mexico and get them to build a beautiful wall.
Seems like a good businessman would have the wall built before he spends a lot of money finding then booting folks out so they don’t come back in before the wall gets built and he has to spend more recollecting them…oh wait, Trump’s not a good businessman…never mind…
Are they really ignoring Trump’s scheme?
Nope. They’re going to fall in line to support what their base demands because they know that if they don’t give in to satiating the racist hatred of the Republican base they will be primaried out of their seats!
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) said he hadn’t seen Trump’s signature plan for deportation.
“I haven’t seen any plan to do that,” he said.
Since when the hell did a firm plan become a prerequisite for a President to lay out a goal to his party and the nation that he expected everyone to pursue, and get on board with it? Were all the Apollo vehicles designed when Kennedy announced we were going to the Moon?
Republicans are dampening expectations for Trump's immigration deportation babble ***FOR TRUMP***. He doesn't have to back away from them, his party will do it for him. The same will happen for The Wall. And massive trade tariffs. And barring U.S. companies from moving operations to another nation. And prodding Japan and South Korea to get nukes. And helping push Britain out of the EU. Every goddamned bit of lunacy Trump used to get the nomination and whip the proles into a frenzy will be abandoned, and Trump won't have to lift a finger or take responsibility for any of it. Republicans will do it all for him.Trumpies aren’t going to be happy…They invasion buses and buses of Mexicans being sent back to Mexico because of course they think all “illegals” are Mexican They have no clue that there are “illegals” from other countries like Ireland etc. To them “illegals” are those that cross the border so Donald and Congress better build that wall and deport all those Mexicans. And the Repubs and Donald better not even think of not banning Muslims The Trumpies actual think Donald will do this…He “means what he says and says what he means” not like all those POLITICIANS…
730 days X 24 hrs = 17,520 hrs
11,000,000 illegal immigrants/17,520 hrs = 628 deported per hour
628 per hour, every hour of every day, 24/7, Sundays, Holidays, Christmas Day, regardless the weather, regardless the cooperation or ability or resources of those supposedly receiving them, for two years, non-stop.
I don’t recall a single journalist, primary opponent or Democrat in the opposition framing the lunacy of his plan like I have above. Laid out in stark terms to illustrate Trump’s bullshit. Why wasn’t it?
