if somebody ever bothers to call you out, just threaten to produce statistics that agree with your viewpoint, regardless of whether or not they exist, until that person goes away.

here are some terms and concepts you may want to incorporate into your new and exciting hellthread frog posts,:

Cultural Marxism, Nationalism, The Immigrants, Leftists, The Left, Regressive Left, Virtue Signaling, White Genocide, Hillary Clinton, The Mainstream Media, Why Punching Nazis Is Wrong, Feminism, Why "Death To All Jews" is cool and good, and how campuses are indoctrination centers for The Left.

remember: when you make a frog post, always mention how oppressed your group is, and how mean the Other Side is - make sure to appear outraged yet smug.

consistently incorporate enough of these concepts and you too can join in the group masturbation session that is the alt right

Exploitation of the H1B1 is the same thing, you're importing cheap labor from overseas to replace American workers, that's why Trump is talking about raising the salary requirements for it, so it's getting talented people from abroad and not just cheap ones

nah, they dont just threaten to produce statistics, they do link articles and journals. but remember, when you do, only read the headline and the first sentence, and formulate your entire argument based on that information, regardless of what the rest of the journal or article might contain

:haw::flaccid: :haw: :flaccid: :haw: :flaccid::haw:
Did we do the Dilbert recap? All the pissbabies arguing with each other makes this thread hard to follow. For all his faults, the one thing Scott Adams is right about is how the Trump narrative actually works:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/157865134106/president-trumps-speech-last-night

Dilbert posted:

Trump did a High Ground Maneuver by referring to many of the criticisms of his administration as “trivial.” Now the people who keep making such criticisms are defining themselves to be in the unimportant part of the conversation.

Trump apparently opened his speech (I missed that part) by speaking out against some recent hate crimes in the United States. By putting that topic first, he made it a top priority, if only in our minds. That was the not-Hitler moment the world was hoping to see. I told you in prior posts and tweets that by this summer Trump would move the national consciousness from the illusion that he is Hitler to the opinion that his administration is not competent. By the end of the year, the critics will be saying some version of this: “Okay, he gets a lot done, and he isn’t Hitler, but we still don’t like it.” That story arc looks as if it accelerated last night, but I expect lots more Hitler talk before summer. Last night was big for the President, but only a first step toward improving his brand.

if Trump maintains a constructive engagement with the black community, and continues to talk about unity, while his critics call him “dark,” who wins the persuasion? Trump’s critics might accidentally turn him into the third black president. (Counting Bill Clinton as first.) That’s obviously a big stretch, but you didn’t think he would get elected president either. Four years is a lot of time for a Master Persuader.

Note that I absolutely don't think that Trump is doing this intentionally, he's not smart enough to orchestrate any of this. But when your opponents keep making you out to be the leader of the KKK, and in reality you gave a black power fist on The Fresh Prince and made LGBT rights centerstage at the RNC, it's not difficult to change the tide of popular opinion given time.

It's easier to keep blaming Russia for their election loss than to take ownership that they hosed over a large number of their own constituents by favoring a candidate with zero charisma who offered next to nothing to working class voters over another candidate who did but didn't fit their rulers needs. Now they must blame Russia and try to whip their base into a blind hatred of Trump and anyone critical of them to deflect because they have no intention of doing anything differently in the next election. It sucks.

Russia was the global elite's next target since they expelled the foreign corporations and aren't connected to the US banking system. They were planning on this pre-elections. The election of Trump threw a monkey wrench into their plans, and now they're trying to adapt their anti- Russian agenda to the new political field. They still have a huge target on Russia but without Hillary in office it's not so easy

also you are aware that if you have enough dosh you can literally pay to a week long holiday on branson's island, right? literally you can book it online here http://www.virginlimitededition.com/en/necker-island
