Ahahahaha holy poo poo. You know, if he wasn't appointing people like Jeff Sessions and Steve Bannon to top spots in the Administration, I'd think that Trump had pulled off the greatest con job in the history of politics.

Basically he weakly walked back parts his platform today, including continuing to prosecute Hillary, acknowledging a connection between human activity and climate change, etc. On the alt-right, he said "I don�t want to energize the group, and I disavow the group. It�s not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why." On the literal nazi stuff the other day, "I disavow and condemn them."

And yeah, freep is really unhappy right now.

So I was going to cover more of the whining about Trump changing his mind about going after Hillary, but after skimming them it's just all the same thing over and over and over - either Trump is a master tactician always a dozen steps ahead of his opponents, or it's a non-statement designed to trick the left into complacency because the POTUS doesn't decide who gets prosecuted, or it's the ultimate betrayal. Each thread eventually degrades into a stupid shouting match between those three camps and it's really not very fun at all.

I found only one post that actually pointed out how dangerous it is to have the winning candidate go after the losing candidate, and he was shouted down immediately.

Instead, from Donald Trump at The New York Times: Live on Twitter posted by freeper FewsOrange

Various NYT columnists and editors live-tweeted the event. All of the tweets, some with clarifying annotations, are listed here: http://www.nytimes.com/live/trump-at-the-new-york-times-the-tweets/

You should probably go read all of that, as freep ends up almost nothing but Hillary while much more was talked about.

I guessed I missed something as I thought earlier report was that he would not be going.

Tired of the media focus on whether Clinton will be investigated. This needs to occur, especially the Clinton Foundation! Media is affair, I suspect, as the are involved.

So yeah, let's talk about that. Trump sent out a few tweets this morning ripping into the NYT for allegedly changing the terms of the interview. The NYT denied any such change happened. A few hours later, Trump tweeted that it was back on. A rumor circulated that Priebus told Trump that the rules had changed in an effort to get him to cancel.

quote:

To: FewsOrange.

I have to say that Kellyanne Conway an the Trump staff has to stop using the word �fairness�. Fairness, balance and centrist are all bad words to describe the press. Kellyanne looks like a baby when she asks for fairness. What she should be asking the press for is honesty, journalism, and respect for the viewers/readers.

The press has clearly lost respect for the American people. Trump is the champion of the middle class. So, its right for him to point out that the press no longer cares about their audience. They are just trying to persuade, not inform their audience. When Joe American and his wife turn on the news. They want honesty. They want to be informed. And they get angry when they are being used, when they are being manipulated.

So, Kellyanne if you are listening. The word �Fairness� is out. Fairness sounds like its all about Trump. Honesty, Journalism and respect for the audience. Trump does not mind a tough reporter. But he can�t stand a liar.

Actually, Kellyanne went on MSNBC later this morning and addressed that by saying that Congress will follow Trump's lead on this because he's the party leader now. It sure sounds like he's going to let HRC off the hook.

If this turns out to be the case, then my confidence in him is completely shattered.

Trump just went rouge on all of us ( as well as the 3 people who got him where he is)...don�t try to make this ok with some talk about 3 dimensional chess...

KellyAnne Conway was blindsided by the Clinton statement when she was on MSNBC this morning...she had no idea that Trump had made the statement that he would back off the investigation...she played it the best she could...check out her words.

Trump made this decision himself behind the backs of Priebus, Conway and Bannon, and he stated that he doesn�t think his supporters would mind(think again Donald)..

If he wanted to pursue the matter, he would be calling for Congress to authorize a special prosecutor to look into the matter, and spend 5 years "Ken Starr-ing" Hillary.

He thinks that doing so would be detrimental in the long run for the country, and frankly, I might be leaning that way myself.

Might be some truth in this. I was having this conversation last night with a good friend of mine. It's a political hot potato to be sure. The danger is giving the appearance that you're prosecuting your opponent because she ran against you.

I figure the way to do it is start slow, nail some low level types first. Do that for a while, get a few to turn state's evidence along the way, then nail someone important in the upper tier. Once you've done a couple of those, then go for the top.

Keep in mind that Trump probably went into this interview woefully unprepared to discuss any matters of substance. We saw a lot of this during the campaign when he�d spend days posting Twitter messages to attack Hillary Clinton over things that he could have addressed much more effectively when she was standing ten feet away from him in a debate, with 80 million people watching on TV.

From Trump: �I have an open mind� on Paris climate pact posted by freeper Kevin C

the excerpt posted:

In a meeting with New York Times journalists at the newspaper�s Manhattan headquarters, columnist Tom Friedman asked about Trump�s position on withdrawing from the climate pact, according to Times reporter Mike Grynbaum.

�I�m looking at it very closely,� Grynbaum reported Trump as saying on Twitter. �I have an open mind to it.� Trump also walked back on his previous position that climate change is a �hoax� perpetuated by the Chinese to threaten American manufacturing.

�I think there is some connectivity,� between human activity and climate change, Trump said. �Some, something. It depends on how much.�

He also went on to talk briefly about the impact that the agreement would have on the cost of doing business. The unequal cost burden between various countries in the Kyoto agreement is what caused big business to push back against climate change to begin with. Nobody thought it was a hoax before the pushback from American businesses started; almost nobody outside of America thinks it's a hoax.

Unfortunately, just like the whole "well I might not go after Hillary" stuff, this is a really wishy-washy, non-committal answer that leaves plenty of chance that he'll just go right back to what he said he wanted to do before.

I have friends of mine who are trying to link this Spencer guy to the Trump campaign. I hope there's no truth to that. But, I wanted to put this out there so I could get some ideas on how to address this one from the perspective of the fact that there are those who seem to be carrying on and taking the victory that was so hard fought and turn it into something else.

There are people linking this to Steve Bannon, and claiming that the NPI group is somehow supportive of him. The cowards at CNN actually put up a hit piece on Bannon claiming he's being supported by NPI and David Duke.

What can we do to stop both this ridiculous display and the smears from the left on it? These clearly are NOT who this movement were for.

From State of Michigan tells Detroit students 'Literacy is not a right' posted by freeper Libloather

the article posted:

Attorneys for Michigan Governor Rick Snyder are asking a judge to toss out a lawsuit against the state of Michigan filed by students in the Detroit school system and claim that literacy is not a legal right in the state of Michigan.

Seven children filed the lawsuit in September, saying decades of state disinvestment and deliberate indifference to Detroit's schools have denied them access to literacy.

The plaintiffs say the schools have deplorable building conditions, lack of books, classrooms without teachers, insufficient desks, buildings plagued by vermin, unsafe facilities and extreme temperatures.

The Michigan Attorney General asked a federal judge to dismiss a class action lawsuit arguing that Detroit schools are obligated to ensure that kids learn how to read and write. The state's motion to dismiss the lawsuit says: "there is no fundamental right to literacy".

I'm probably going to regret doing this sober. They're probably going to start making GBS threads on teachers, and I'm going to get angry.

quote:

To: Libloather

I know nothing about this case, but I am suspicious.

State by state, the education lobby is using the courts to increase school funding.

In my state, Kansas, it has reached the level of absurd. The legislature will pass a school funding bill, and in less than a week, the state supreme court will have rejected it, with instructions to try again. The courts have usurped legislative authority, and it is accepted as normal.

In fact, one should have acquired the basics of literacy before they even enter the public school system. If they have not, the failure lies with the parents or legal guardians. A school can only compensate for such deficiencies to a certain degree.

There's actually lots of that second paragraph so far, and I'm actually in agreement to a degree. Remember how I said that my sister is a teacher? Well, she's a teacher in a school in the lower income part of town. Parents that aren't involved or invested in their children's education are a significant problem. She regularly sees 5-6 year olds that come into school not knowing their ABCs and unable count to ten. I don't even know how you screw things up that badly.

Oh, finally.

Correct. I was going to post something similar. The family is key. In the past, the nuclear family provided support to their kids to ensure homework was completed, and that they studied. My mother made flash cards and worked with me to mater the �times� tables. Of course, she was a state at home mom and that helps a lot. Not really feasible in this day and age though.

I�m not going to disagree with you about the Progressive destruction of the family. But when families worked, we started school at age 6. Now the kids get handed to Big Education at 3 or 4 and Big Ed takes on the job of building that foundation. They suck at it and they continue to suck at it for the next 16 years of a child�s life. They are so busy creating young pliant Marxists that they don�t have time to teach reading. Back in the old days when an illiterate could still find work, teachers used to teach the children of illiterates how to read. They taught slaves to read. They taught Native American hunter-gatherers to read. Teachers used to be a critical part of a civilized human�s development. Now they are just an American�s first Government Overlord.

From the remains of Pope Francis Equates Christianity to Communism posted by freeper Mount Athos

It's blogspam that links to an article in a Spanish newspaper that in turn links to an article on an Italian site, which is in turn titled, translated, "The Republic Pope: 'Trump? I do not judge. Interested only if hurts the poor'"

the article, via Google Translate posted:

Q: Your Holiness, through those bridges to be built will facilitate the re-aggregate of those desperate but inequalities are born in rich countries. There are laws that tend to diminish the flow but do not have much effect. You will never end this phenomenon?

A: "She spoke and wrote several times about this problem. One of the phenomena that inequalities encourage is the movement of many people from one country to another, from one continent to another. After two, three, four generations, these peoples will and integrate their difference tends to disappear altogether. "

Q: I call it a universal miscegenation in the positive sense of the term.

A: "Bravo, is the right word. I do not know if it will be universal but it will be more prevalent today. What we want is the fight against inequality, this is the greatest evil that exists in the world. It 's the money that creates and it is against those measures that tend to level the well-being and thus promote equality. "

Q: She told me some time ago that the precept "Love your neighbor as yourself" had to change, the data that we are going through dark times, and become "more than yourself." So she fondles a society dominated dall'eguaglianza. This, as you know, is the program of socialism Marx and then of communism. She therefore thinks a Marxian type of society?

A: "It has repeatedly been said and my response has always been that, if anything, are the communists who think like Christians. Christ spoke of a society where the poor, the weak, the marginalized, for them to decide. Not the demagogues, not Barabbas, but the people, the poor, who have faith in the transcendent God or not, it is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom. "

Not exactly a perfect translation there, but you get the point. This is how the excerpt on freep translated that last bit:

the excerpt posted:

�It is the communists, in all cases, that think like Christians. Christ has spoken of a society where the poor, the weak and the excluded are those who make the decisions. Not the demagogues, or the barbarians, but rather the people and the poor that have faith in God or not that we have to help obtain equality and liberty.�

Anyway, we all know how much freep looooves Pope Francis, so I'm sure their reaction to this one is going to be hilarious.

Oh man, I love it when I can post something and not bold it!

quote:

To: Thibodeaux

As I recall the original Jerusalem Christians were essentially a commune. Paul took another road and that withered.

Acts 2:44-45 records: �Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.�

I observe that this was a unique situation that didn�t last very long.

We later see that elderly widows were to be financially provided for by a common church fund BUT ONLY IF they had no family members in the Church who could privately support them (1 Timothy 5:3-16).

Obviously, all members of the Church�s congregations at this later time were not being provided for out of a common fund � ONLY A SELECT GROUP OF PEOPLE.

In considering Acts 2, we should note that Christians were being persecuted. Also, thousands of new believers, some from distant lands, had just been added to the Church at the Feast of Pentecost in Jerusalem.

No doubt many decided to remain in Judea at that time to learn more about their new faith and rely on one another through growing persecution rather than return to their homes far away. These people thus had an immediate need for food and lodging, and A VOLUNTARY POOLING of resources took care of that.

This is different from Communism where there is STATE COERCION.

The believers at the time felt extremely blessed, grateful, hospitable and generous. Many who had extra assets sold some of them to help finance the living expenses of others.

The expression �all things in common� means this: �I love you, and therefore your needs are just as important to me as my own needs. I consider all that I have as being yours also.�

However, keep in mind that THEY COULD NOT SELL WHAT THEY DID NOT ALREADY OWN.

They were VOLUNTARY ( there�s that word again ) selling some of their privately owned property so they could help others. This was charity, not communism.

NO ONE WAS COMPELLED to sell his property, nor did anyone confiscate one�s property or income to give it to others, as many governments do today.

Francis (finally) came out hard against abortion because he needs to buy some time. He's been so outrageously obvious in his anti-Catholicism that he has provoked the orthodox in the Church (i.e., Burke et al) to start the official recapture of the Church. However, Francis cannot allow this process to go forward. The orthodox are forcing his hand. So, Pope Francis has, at long last, said what he must about abortion so that people won't listen when Burke tells that that, well, the Pope isn't really Catholic. Has Pope Francis acted in time to avert schism. Since I doubt he'll answer the Cardinals five questions, I doubt it.

For more than twenty minutes, Trump railed about �outrageous� and �dishonest� coverage. When he was asked about the sort of �fake news� that now clogs social media, Trump replied that it was the networks that were guilty of spreading fake news. The �worst,� he said, were CNN (�liars!�) and NBC.

This is where we are. The President-elect does not care who knows how unforgiving or vain or distracted he is. This is who he is, and this is who will be running the executive branch of the United States government for four years.

The over-all impression of the meeting from the attendees I spoke with was that Trump showed no signs of having been sobered or changed by his elevation to the country�s highest office. Rather, said one, �He is the same kind of blustering, bluffing blowhard as he was during the campaign.�

Another participant at the meeting said that Trump�s behavior was �totally inappropriate� and �loving outrageous.� The television people thought that they were being summoned to ask questions; Trump has not held a press conference since late July. Instead, they were subjected to a stream of insults and complaints�and not everyone absorbed it with pleasure.

�I have to tell you, I am emotionally loving pissed,� another participant said. �How can this not influence coverage? I am being totally honest with you. Toward the end of the campaign, it got to a point where I thought that the coverage was all about [Trump�s] flaws and problems. And that�s legit. But, I thought, O.K., let�s give them the benefit of the doubt. After the meeting today, though�and I am being human with you here�I think, gently caress him! I know I am being emotional about it. And I know I will get over it in a couple of days after Thanksgiving. But I really am offended. This was unprecedented. Outrageous!�
[...]
Participants said that Trump did not raise his voice, but that he went on steadily at the start of the meeting about how he had been treated poorly. �It was all so Trump,� one said. �He is like this all the time. He�ll freeze you out and then be nice and humble and sort of want you to like him.�

�But he truly doesn�t seem to understand the First Amendment,� the source continued. �He doesn�t. He thinks we are supposed to say what he says and that�s it.�

Yes, it is unprecedented. A Republican -- a President, no less -- that doesn't bend down and kiss your rear end.

When Obama complained about your press coverage (and he reportedly did, albeit via his staff), what did you say to him? Did you say "F*** him!" behind his back?

If you didn't, why did you treat the Obama administation differently? Perhaps if you were to ask yourself that question -- honestly -- you might finally start to "get it".

Trump speaks for about 60% of the public, who think your political coverage is biased. You abandoned all pretense of objectivity this year, and now you wonder why you are even more unpopular than Trump?

As with muslims, any suggestion that what we say "might make them mad" makes zero sense! The press might give him bad coverage now that he's spoken "mean" to them? muslims are always mad at us, as far back as anyone can remember; presstitutes have given the PRESIDENT-ELECT (it feels so good to say that) bad coverage ever since he began shining the light of truth on their boyprez and their nominatrix.

To work out their anger and �get even� with President Trump,the enemedia will have to add an extra hour to each day so they can attack him 25x7 instead of just 24x7.

Apparently the enemedia still doesn�t get it; namely, they shot their wad and Trump won anyway, and now they are completely irrelevant because President Trump won without them and also can now govern without them, and it matters not what he says or does as they will never say a single kind word about him ever again.

President Trump knows they hate him and will always hate him, so he is under no obligation to play by their rules, but is now free to make up his own rules and simply ignore the enemedia. Technology is such that President Trump can now speak directly to we-the-people without the intervening enemedia reality-distortion filters.

President Trump won and the enemedia lost. Sooner or late (probably sooner), they�re gonna figure that out and they�re also gonna figure out that they made a BIG mistake with their massively biased �reporting�. Big mistake. Big.

Of course I can't help but picture Trumpers as that one psycho woman that got into it with a protester while he was talking to the media and went on a tangent about them editing it later.

Is the French translation of his name true? If not strictly literal, I realize it's too close. The subtle but erotic symbolism at the stores within the plaza are also suspiciously suggestive.

By itself, his name is a coincidence; conflated with the Podesta emails, the Epstein activities and participants, the obvious but sloppy coding, the cast of other unsavory related characters -- how many odd coincidences and transparent perversity are we supposed to dismiss without being accused of "idiocy" and "paranoia" by one particular in-curious poster?

Post election the elites looked around and decided to blame the internet for Hillary losing. They can�t control the narrative with sites like Drudge, Breitbart, Free Republic, etc.

Call them �fake news� and say it is a crisis. That�ll justify Twitter and Facebook bans and maybe ban the sites as well once the U.N. takes over the net for promoting �hate speech.�

Remember, internet is now global and we are one of the few countries protected by something like the First Amendment. For now.

I think they misjudged using this as a �fake news� story to spin but look at the approach:

1. Online people are promoting it.

2. Create Jimmy Comet as the victim being attacked by online trolls. Phone calls. Damaging his business. Victim.

3. Give ZERO facts in the story but use Alinsky-style naming and shaming: Conspiracy, false, lies, not true, fake news.

I think they made a BIG miscalculation picking this specific story to use as a test run for �fake news� slamming.

People will google the facts. Photos/images (the Instagram, �art�, bands) = SUPER creepy stuff.

It�ll only make it a bigger story. Putting out fire with gasoline.

Sorry, it doesn't. If it did it would be spelled differently.

I read the story you likely got the idea from.

The author claims his name, James Alefantis, is an Anglicization of "J'aime les enfants" meaning "I love the children."

I think this is more than a stretch when you consider the way the French and the English names are pronounced. "J'aime les enfants" sounds like "Jay*mee laze*awn*fawnt". His name in English is pronounced "James Ah*le*FAHN*tis".

I think the similarity is likely coincidental. I also didn't find any evidence that this was the result of a name change. If it was it was a VERY stupid move.

Thank you for weighing in on the French language issue.

We could speculate that it could be a "stage name" or just a slight play on words. Since he is in the US, the spelling would be more striking than the pronunciation.

Considering the several disturbing coincidences, strange Instagrams, odd symbolism of the nearby stores and shops, the Podesta email tie-ins, related cast of evil characters, AND usual arrogance and hubris of these types of people, I'd NOT give the benefit of doubt. The name at minimum is purposely suggestive, if not oddly coincidental.

It's these types of peoples' way of tweaking society as a pervy "inside joke" for similar sick ilk.

This is especially true when its own country is convulsing and barfing in its eagerness to advantage the foreign industry and hamstring its own.

Voter registration isn't a thing in most of the world, how does it work? Do you need an ID or a birth certificate or something to register?

Forums user vitalsigns helped me distill my question into googlable form: "What stops illegal immigrants from registering to vote", I know they are stopped somehow but i never looked into the details of it. It'll be useful to have in your quiver this thanksgiving. I assumed in the past "show your drivers licence" was the answer but in recent years this has been a charged political (and apperantly racial) issue.

Here is what usa.gov has to say, to answer your question Rasberry:

USA.gov/voter-id posted:

Voting with ID
About half of the states with voter ID laws accept only photo IDs, such as driver�s licenses, state-issued ID cards, military ID cards, and passports. Many of these states now offer a free voter photo ID card if you don�t have another form of valid photo ID.

Other states accept certain types of non-photo IDs, such as birth certificates, Social Security cards, bank statements, and utility bills. Each state is specific about the documents it will accept as proof of identification. Be sure you know your state�s voter ID requirements prior to Election Day.

You should also be aware that legal challenges continue to affect some states� voter ID laws, and requirements can change as a result. It�s always wise to check directly with your state election office to ensure you have the proper ID.

Procedures for Voting Without ID
Even if you don�t have a form of ID that your state asks for, you may be allowed to vote. But some states require you to take additional measures after you vote to make sure that your vote counts.

Some states may ask you to sign a form affirming your identity. Other states will let you cast a provisional ballot, which is used when there is a question regarding a voter's eligibility. In some states, election officials will investigate the voter’s eligibility and decide whether to count the vote.

Other states require that you return to an election office within a few days and show an acceptable form of ID. If you don�t, your vote won�t be counted.

But i think that noncitizens/illegals can get military ID and social security cards in some capacity, so if they can display those something else must be stopping them from voting.

Mostly, the fact that voter fraud is a felony. Why would a non-citizen register and vote when someone could just look at the 'who voted' rolls and throw them in jail?

All I know is that when I came into work on the 9th, three of my coworkers had gotten dark tans, grown moustaches, were wearing ponchos and sombreros, and were speaking with really thick mexican accents, but I didn't say anything in case people thought I was a racist.

What gets me is that they seem to take it as a given that sex with children is just this unbelievably amazing thing that of course the elites in Washington all just can't get enough of, and have to create vast secret conspiracies to maintain their access to it.

It's more likely that there's a small number of high up child abusers in Washington and a surrounding organization that is covering for them to lesser or greater degrees, like with the BBC or Penn State.

Right, but the way they talk about it, you'd think that literally everyone in Washington was a chomo.

That's because they think that they are righteous and incorruptible, and don't understand how evidence or systems of power work, so they believe "if I suspected my boss was a molester I'd rain holy judgement on them, unless of course it was a smear, in which case I'd know 100%"
Which being fair isn't unique to Freep, plenty of people acted like that in the wake of the BBC or Penn State.

When you combine that with 'Liberals are godless and evil and love sodomy which means they want to legalize pedophilia' that Freep believes, suddenly the obvious explanation for the first part is that everyone in DC is on the pedobus.
