Fox News: Andy Puzder to withdraw his nomination for Labor Secretary

This was, at the time I checked it last night, the only thread I saw about it.

First, all the "Good we hated him anyway."

quote:

I hate this method of politics by personal ruination, but if we had to lose one cabinet member, I’m glad it was Puzder. Not the right man for the job.

He’s only a recent, and potentially politically motivated, convert to the Trump’s key notion that flooding the market with unskilled laborers is unfair to the supply-and-demand market forces on labor; he was a big fan of the Gang of Eight amnesty.

I have to note this, however: in double-checking my facts, I just discovered that he was a lawyer for the pro-life community before he got pulled into Hardee’s almost by accident; and that his turnaround of Hardee’s is quite remarkable. I hadn’t known that.

But his comments regarding immigration are stupefying:

“Immigrants appreciate what America offers. They are not taking jobs from Americans, because there are not sufficient Americans applying for jobs. Maybe they feel they have better options.”

That was in 2013, when the U-6 unemployment rate was about 14%.

Alright enough of that. There are, however, some Freepers who are actually slightly upset about this and were supportive of Puzder.

quote:

He was criticized for hiring an illegal maid and being weak of immigration, but he would not be in charge of immigration as Labor Secretary.

He would be in a position where he could influence labor regulations, and there is no one with more detailed knowledge of the ways stupid regulations destroy businesses than the president of the National Restaurant Association. Choosing him was a masterstroke by Trump.

These kind of posts amuse me. "Gee! Trump is sure doing a lot of dumb and incompetent things! That's pretty weird! I wonder what the reason is?"

quote:

How can he be a serious candidate for the position, when he employed an illegal alien, and then after three years, once he and the Mrs. “discover” she’s an illegal, they pay back taxes and begin the process of helping her become legal? Pay back taxes? Why not be paying taxes all along, then, if they assumed she was legal? What am I missing here? One would think the Trump team vetted this man, with this particular problem, before putting him up for nomination. Either they didn’t vet him enough, or they knew this about him going in. Either way, they were/are derelict in how they handled this nominee.

A bit of insane religious rambling.

The slime of the liberals, commies, homos, socialists, dimocrats, etc. is the only way they even can come close to winning anything is this crap they do. If they cannot get at the person they want to kill, then they go after his or her family members. That is the way slime operates. One day, and I think not in the too distant future, the Lord God of Heaven will deal with these people in the Tribulation and then at the Great White Throne. They may THINK they are getting away with their crap, but one day, The Lord Jesus Christ will deal with them. They deny Him now, but the book of Revelation clearly tells us that at a future point they will hit their knees and will admit that HE IS INDEED LORD, GOD, CREATOR, SAVIOR, AND JUDGE!!! The Lake of Fire awaits all who have denied Him.

I'm doing a Let's Read of Superhawks, a pulp action series started in 2004 by Mack Maloney. The guy's a pulp author who made awful Crimson Skies-meets-Cold War books back in the 80s and 90s, and his brain kinda broke after 9/11 and he went hard right.

It's like a Freep novel. The protagonists justify committing terrorist attacks against Middle Eastern civilians (culminating in poisoning the product of a major fruit supplier and killing thousands because the fruit company is an Al Qaeda front) by saying that they have to be "just as bad as the terrorists" to scare them away from terrorism.

Someone in the thread mentioned that they realize why Trump got elected after reading the book.

In case you were wondering what freep thought about today's shitshow of a press conference,


Journo twitter is in general agreement - his base ate up the vomit he spewed and then sat down to circlejerk about his treatment of the press. There doesn't seem to be any recognition whatsoever about any of the objectively demonstrable lies, and even the most absurd moments are just perfectly fine to them. They like that he's a blithering idiot, and they're even conditioning themselves to like it when their instincts tell them otherwise.

This is why the Republicans are just too far gone. If Trump was an rear end in a top hat to everyone and lied obviously but clever about it or at least funny it would be one thing; you can be proud of getting one over on people. However he's just flailing around and looks unhinged and unprepared. They have been so trained to lap up whatever diarrhea they are fed by their media that it literally doesn't matter what they see, their brain will just auto correct everything for them. I don't think there's really any saving those people at this point, they are just too deep in the cult to deprogram on the scale required.

This thread seems to be hurting for content, so I took a dive.

Trump-Hatred of Sanctimonious Jews Empowering Anti-Semites

Thread is about an American Thinker article trying desperately to blame American Jews for antisemitism, and do apologetics for antisemites.

First, a bit from the article.

quote:

With the American public hearing Jews vigorously condemn Israel, and then condemn Trump, dismissing the legitimization of the election results while at the same time inflaming the public discourse with vulgar language, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that these Jews are evoking antisemitism and empowering anti-Semites. With this being the current environment, then taking the short leap to single out Jews as responsible for the uncertainty and confusion felt by the American public during the post-election period is inevitable.

Naturally, Freep loves it.

quote:

“Over the past months, there have been 57 bomb threats to 48 Jewish Community Centers, a number of neo-Nazi marches in a number of states, and swastikas have been reported throughout the United States at a rate unseen in recent times.”

I’d be willing to bet that most of the “bomb threats” are hoaxes perpetrated by other Jews in order to bring attention to themselves as being “persecuted.” The same goes for the swastikas. I haven’t seen or heard of any “neo-Nazi” marches anywhere, so I’m just as skeptical of this allegation as I am the “bomb threats” and “swastikas”.

And finally, a bunch show up to spout literal Nazi propaganda.

quote:

They are not Jews, they are Bolsheviks. Nearly the entire leadership of the Bolshevik army during the 1916 Russian revolution identified as atheist Jews.

Many hundreds of thousands of Bolsheviks have since immigrated to the West, primarily the USA. When they claim to be Jewish, they are using it as a shield from criticism the same way that Obama used his blackness to prevent criticism of his policies, else you would be racist, and in this case, anti-Semite.

Bolsheviks are still Bolsheviks and they need to be dealt with, one way or another.

In Europe, before the Holocaust, Jews generally fell into one of two camps: One was the Zionists, who advocated for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in then-Palestine. The other were “Bundists” who were mostly atheistic Communists who wanted worldwide Communism, and abhorred the thought of a separate Jewish homeland.

And these Bolsheviks are today’s “Bundists”.

To me, they don’t get to “own” the holocaust mantel and victim status any time they want to get some street cred they think gives them more say than any other American.

They don’t have any connection with Irael, nor not much with 2 generations past in a world half away at war. Their “card” is worn and as tattered as their inane arguments.

Thanks for the ping.

If it’s legal under current state law for these municipalities to do this I see no problem with decriminalizing 4oz of cannabis.

It should have never been criminalized in the 1st place.

Wow, I do not think in my entire life I possessed 4 ozs of pot at one time.

That is a lot of pot.

PS: The drug awareness class: Do they cover the different doobie-rolling methods? I remember kids used to use a dollar bill, and I’m pretty sure they still sell those little doobie rolling devices.

They should cover all the different strains and the difference between them. Texans, IMO, tend to be ignorant of those nuances.

Man, it would be sweet if there was a "drug awareness class" that was a basically "how to do drugs primer" like that guy seems to think or hope (I seriously can't tell if that's being sarcastic and/or negative or sincere).

Segue, but at some point somewhere on the forum they posted links to some EU publications that were basically "hey, if you want to use drugs, here's the smart way to do it more-safely" for various drugs like heroin, crack, etc.

I found it pretty sobering (:rimshot:) that their alcohol brochure included tips like "make sure you book in several days per week with no alcohol to let your body recover" and "it's a really bad idea to mix alcohol with caffeine."

I thought, holy poo poo, the people telling you how to take *heroin* safely are basically saying that common alcohol practices in the US are unwise. Telling...

:lol: if you think common alcohol practices in the EU are any better, no matter what the theory says.

At least Lovecraft reneged on his racism later on in his life, while Freepers are getting even more racist as they age.

Bang on. Lovecraft was a weirdo, but he actually changed his opinions upon learning facts that challenged his anachronism - Freep just digs a bigger nazi cave.

I live in Denmark, and nearly everyone I know who hasn't stopped drinking completely are active alcoholics or have really unhealthy drinking habits. This is the hardest partying capital of one of the worst nations w/r/t alcohol, but it does point at a larger tendency :sigh:
