quote:

Trump shall become My trumpet to the American people, for he possesses qualities that are even hard to find in My people these days. Trump does not fear man nor will he allow deception and lies to go unnoticed. I am going to use him to expose darkness and perversion in America like never before, but you must understand that he is like a bull in a china closet. Many will want to throw him away because he will disturb their sense of peace and tranquility, but you must listen through the bantering to discover the truth that I will speak through him. I will use the wealth that I have given him to expose and launch investigations searching for the truth. Just as I raised up Cyrus to fulfill My purposes and plans, so have I raised up Trump to fulfill my purposes and plans prior to the 2016 election. You must listen to the trumpet very closely for he will sound the alarm and many will be blessed because of his compassion and mercy. Though many see the outward pride and arrogance, I have given him the tender heart of a father that wants to lend a helping hand to the poor and the needy, to the foreigner and the stranger.

Trump = The Trumpet.

I work with a 20-year old Trump supporter who has a rich daddy and a fall back option of just joining the family business, and he's pretty honest about his reasons being basically FYGM. Though, if you ask him, his first response is a half-sarcastic "he's going to make america great again". Honestly, he seems to know Trump is a joke and is just too naive to understand what his vote means.

One of the things Milton railed against was policy that had good intentions and made you feel good, but was ultimately worthless.

Trump's latest talking point has been this "Bring back Law and Order" (not the TV show) thing that seems to have a lot of people swooning because they don't know we've been on a steady decline of violent crime for ages.

I think he's really dogwhistling the BLM movement and stuff like that, but whenever I hear him or one of his supporters say it, all I think is, "Will he make the trains run on time?"

He's 100% dogwhistling the BLM movement. It's frustrating too since if he wins the media will immediately start actually reporting the lowering crime statistics and give him the credit for sticking it to "criminals" while doing nothing other than supporting murderous police.

He's a demagogue, so he speaks to the fears of the people he's reaching towards. Those people are scared of violent blacks (protests/riots), Islamic terrorists, and drug gangs.

It's so obviously racist at it's core... look at those targets: frustrated brown people, fanatic brown people, and organized crime brown people. BROWN PEOPLE ARE RUINING THIS COUNTRY!

All data shows that violent crime is trending down (and has been for like 20 years), so this is all just fear-mongering... the exact thing that the Republicans claim the Democrats do to pander for votes.

Oddly enough, the loving wall is the only Trump policy I'm actually something of a fan of, because while I think it'll be mostly useless even as far as raising the effort-barrier of entry, I'm on board with useless Keynesian boondoggles as an inefficient but politically viable stimulus package. :v:

Sure, I'd rather have Clinton's actual-infrastructure proposal, but tens of billions of wall-dollars and hundreds or thousands of ICE jobs aren't the worst regional stimulus ever.

I completely get where you're coming from re: jobs and infrastructure projects, but this is accelerationistic.

That money from a wall could just as easily go into a road project, water, power plants, etc. Hell, even 'useless' WPA-style projects like public parks. Of course the problem here isn't the money - it's the desire to have a wall to keep us 'safe' from the swarthy hordes south of the border.

A wall is doable because it serves a (dubious) perceived function for the whole of the country, whereas the other projects are just wasteful!

It would be a sight to behold as the congress has to vote on that stupid wall if he actually tried to push it. It would be absurdly expensive so GOP congressmen would be put in a position where they had to either budget for this huge government project or risk angering their dumbass base that needs a wall to protect them from bad driving illegals.

There probably wouldn't be a wall, since he's insisting Mexico pay for it. Most likely it'd be a few months of bluster and then the topic would quietly be dropped, maybe at best you'd see a chain link fence across the southern border.

Fox News is the victim :qqsay:

quote:

During his show on Wednesday night, O'Reilly said that his comments on the slaves who helped build the White House were "100 percent accurate" and provided "context" to First Lady Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic convention. He said that it was "not a defense of slavery."

"For doing that, I was immediately attacked by smear merchants," he said. "It is a given that slavery is an abomination, but reporting the story behind Mrs. Obama’s very valid points does not diminish the horror of enslavement as these dishonest critics allege."

War on Fox

quote:


"I think the time has come now, where this whole network is going to have to band together, all of us, and we’re going to have to call out the people who are actively trying to destroy this network, by using lies and deception and propaganda. We're going to have to start to call them out by name, because that's how bad it's become,"
he said.

Rivera then mentioned an encounter he had with protesters outside of the Democratic convention in Philadelphia, when a protester dumped water on Rivera's head. Rivera mentioned Black Lives Matter and noted that many in the group are "reasonable and responsible," but he said others are "race warriors" who want to pit white people against black people.

O'Reilly, responded, telling Rivera that "it's getting to the point of danger," arguing that it's tough for Fox News reporters to go out in the field.

"Jesse Watters goes on the floor of the Democratic convention, and some photographer comes up and starts swearing at him and cursing at him right in his face? This is provocation,"
he continued. "These people are doing this. They want me dead, Bolling, literally dead."

Bolling responded to O'Reilly, "I’m not sure they want you dead."

"Oh they do, believe me," O'Reilly said.

Donald Trump said Thursday morning that he was only kidding when he appeared to encourage Russian intelligence agencies to find Hillary Clinton's thousands of deleted emails.

"Of course I'm being sarcastic," Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired the day after his comments sparked a national furor. "You have 33,000 emails deleted, and the real problem is what was said on the emails from the Democratic National Convention."
