Donald J. Trump tweets:

Meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal!

I tweet back:

WRONG, Mr. President.

“Chuck and Nancy” DON’T want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked. Instead, they want to make them into legal immigrants flooding into our country unchecked so they can get the vote and vote Democrat.

Also, while Gary Oldman was of course great as Chuck, Chloe Webb really steals the show as Nancy.

    I'll bet most voting fraud comes from green card holders who are here legally but obviously are not citizens. Illegals prefer to be off radar. Sure some illegals have the balls to vote but most fraudsters are legal resident aliens and the US is chock full of them.

    Too bad Trump isn’t real! He could’ve saved the country.

    Instead Trump has signed the death certificate on America. By not securing our demographic future as a great Western European nation (sending all illegals home) he is cementing our downfall.

    We are going into the Great Chaos Period which will consist of 1. Bolshevik revolution 2. Civil war 3. Post-constitutional dictatorship

    Bannon explained all of this! And Trump nodded and cynically used the crisis as an avenue to the white house. He never had any intention of deporting anyone except the very worst illegal gang members. But average gang member illegals can stay! Only the very worst go back.

    It’s a catastrophe. Trump’s kids will be chased out of the country by the Red Guards…

    I had similar questions until I briefly used Twitter for almost a year 2016-17.

    Roughly 200 (or 2,000, or 20,000) people send Trump tweets every day. Do you think it's reasonable he (or even one of his aides) reads each one of them?

    Usually there's a filter for tweeters who are followed by the account, in this case Trump has a much larger chance of reading Steve's tweet if he follows him. I don't think he does, though.

    But it will likely be read by followers of Steve, especially if they are also followers of Trump.

    Not true.

    Wait, I don't mean literally not true, as that's not my call, but I don't think he had to during that era in order to wear his Swasticker t-shirt. I was around then. Anything that was over the top like that was let slide whether considered left-wing politically, or right, back in the 80's. Punk rockers especially got a pass, as I think lots of people were scared of them.

    The only part that really worried me was that mosh-pit crap. I mean, you've got to be pretty wasted to not mind some guys jumping off the stage right on top of your head. I think they just wanted to start fights, and the real fans would probably have been extremely proud to have gotten a black eye from Sid Vicious or any of those guys, maybe even a boot-heal indentation on their skulls... helps pick up chicks next show (not the kind I'd want, but to each his own).

    On a different note, it is imperative to mention here that illegal immigrants are a pain in the neck in this country. … Illegal migrants and criminals must stay away.

    You will never find a coward like Wise saying such despicable things to the type of shit-kickers and otherwise stalwart Anglo-Celts in Alabama to whom his words are directed from behind his desk in New York City. Ironically, his mentality of cowardly yet arrogant braggadocio is exactly the kind which led to the U.S.A.'s misguided assessments that it could destroy Alabama in a couple of weeks, no sweat, during the event to which he alludes, with the result being a bloodbath for the invaders and a victory secured at great cost only several years later – and even that by sheer attrition. For all that, even today, the conquered Alabamans keep being Alabamans. Funny how that works.

    This literally could serve as propaganda for the Moore campaign.

    These people lack self-awareness so badly, they can't figure out that the New York Times and coastal liberals attacking him, and coupling that with shots at the Deep South in general, *helps* him in Alabama, not the other way around. They really think the world revolves around them and all people are in awe of them. The narcissism is palpable, and this narcissism helps scumbags like Moore get elected.

    Then again, these are the same people who last year thought denouncing Trump for deviating from neoliberal/neocon norms in foreign policy, and advocating that America simply follow a cost/benefits approach to foreign policy, somehow hurt him with voters away from the Paper Belt.

A lot of French Jews increasingly agree, hence why many have fled to Israel and those that remain have turned Jewish centers in Paris into compounds with high walls and guards.

  17. President Trump has been highly disappointing on the immigration question. Drugs are pouring over the border and poisoning our people. Illegal alien invaders are flooding into the United States and the leadership of both parties strongly encourages it. Trump says he knows all about prefabricated cement panels for walls and floors, yet he has not built anything but demonstration bits of potential walls.

    President Trump is trying to bamboozle his voter base by accusing others of being weak on immigration; as much as it pains me to say it, our beloved Trumpy himself has been the weak one on immigration.

    Every illegal alien invader in the United States must be deported immediately.

    All legal immigration should be halted immediately.

    IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM NOW!

    President Trump should make deals with Democrats on eliminating job-killing, sovereignty-sapping trade deal scams. Trump will lose millions of White Core American votes in swing states if he goes ahead with his treasonous plan to collude with Democrats to give amnesty or any kind of legal recognition to Obama’s pet illegal alien invaders. Obama’s unlawful administrative amnesty for illegal alien invaders must be ignored and all illegal alien invaders connected to Obama’s illegal executive actions must be immediately deported.

  25. Now Trump is getting accused of something approaching hate speech because he retweeted 3 videos of Muslims behaving badly. Those videos were presented in tweets from some “far-right” party in England, so that is a major focus of the criticism. Yet the tweets were essentially nothing but those videos themselves — videos depicting an uncontested truth.

    Trump’s critics seem to imagine that major point and sputter over the origin of the tweets is a big win for their side. But of course the only thing that is going to matter to the larger, persuadable voting public is the content of those videos itself. And the more attention paid to the tweets, the more people who will want to see for themselves what all the fuss is about.

    This is how Trump wins when, to the elites, he seems to be losing.

    People believe their damn eyes.

    In some ways, Trump’s uncanny success seems to hang on his adopting a very simple policy, which seems to the sophisticates as if it can’t possibly work. He sees something, he says something. Unfiltered. Unvetted. Unprocessed in any way.

    His success reminds me a bit of the success of Tit-for-tat in games involving the prisoners dilemma. It seems just too simple to be successful. Other, more complex, more deliberate strategies seem almost certain to be better. Yet it is always naive, simple minded Tit-for-tat that wins.

    Too bad Trump isn't real! He could've saved the country.

    Instead Trump has signed the death certificate on America. By not securing our demographic future as a great Western European nation (sending all illegals home) he is cementing our downfall.

    We are going into the Great Chaos Period which will consist of 1. Bolshevik revolution 2. Civil war 3. Post-constitutional dictatorship

    Bannon explained all of this! And Trump nodded and cynically used the crisis as an avenue to the white house. He never had any intention of deporting anyone except the very worst illegal gang members. But average gang member illegals can stay! Only the very worst go back.

    Maybe this is always Trump’s deliberate strategy: sloppy on facts but correct on larger picture. It makes the nitpickers appear to be apologists as details about provenance of the story/ video are obsessed over at the expense of considering the content. The average person sees his presentation as “good enough for government work”.

  34. I think this idea that mainstream centre-left parties have this ongoing strategy to bring in more non-white voters because they will vote centre-left is over blown. Sure they get more non-white centre left voters, but they also lose lots of working class white voters in the process. The Democrats (like most centre-left parties in the West) were doing fine in the 1950s when they opposed immigration and focused on the white working class. Sure, in the long run, increased non-white immigration may finally doom the Republicans, but political parties don’t operate on that kind of time scale.

    In a modern democracy, getting votes is secondary to getting donors. The Democrats support more non-white immigration because they want more donors. More non-white immigration equals more support from big business, more support from NGOs, and more donations from wealthy immigrants who want more of their kind in the country.

    That last point in particular, seems to be overlooked by most people on the alternative right. Non-white immigrants aren’t passive actors in white-run politics, they can and do bribe and cajole white people into doing things that serve their interest.

    Of course, the "legal/illegal" distinction is just a diplomatic nicety promulgated by Conservatism, Inc. to try to harness and control anti-immigration sentiment. As soon as everyone's legal, we're good, right? And Fox news fans adhere pretty well to this rhetoric.

    I have been "corrected" a couple times by well meaning members of my group, but I always say, no, ALL immigration. And they look at me like I had grown horns.

People who call Spencer a nazi are either ignorant, or afraid to engage with and attempt to refute his ideas, which are truthful, powerful, and which in the end will prevail - at Michigan and across the United States

    President Trump has been highly disappointing on the immigration question. Drugs are pouring over the border and poisoning our people. Illegal alien invaders are flooding into the United States and the leadership of both parties strongly encourages it. Trump says he knows all about prefabricated cement panels for walls and floors, yet he has not built anything but demonstration bits of potential walls.

    President Trump is trying to bamboozle his voter base by accusing others of being weak on immigration; as much as it pains me to say it, our beloved Trumpy himself has been the weak one on immigration.

    Every illegal alien invader in the United States must be deported immediately.

    All legal immigration should be halted immediately.

    President Trump should make deals with Democrats on eliminating job-killing, sovereignty-sapping trade deal scams. Trump will lose millions of White Core American votes in swing states if he goes ahead with his treasonous plan to collude with Democrats to give amnesty or any kind of legal recognition to Obama's pet illegal alien invaders. Obama's unlawful administrative amnesty for illegal alien invaders must be ignored and all illegal alien invaders connected to Obama's illegal executive actions must be immediately deported.

    , @unpc downunder
    @nebulafox

    There are various levels of white nationalism. At the extreme you have a white-run dictatorship where non-whites are either excluded or officially treated as second class citizens. At the milder end you have white democratic majoritarianism, which basically means white majorities deciding to keep their nations majority white. Australia was a white majoritarian country until the early 1970s. Some European countries will probably go down this route in the not-to0-distant future.

    At the moment I can't see either white nationalism or citizen-based democracy being sustainable in New World countries. On the one hand, white nationalism is impractical because there are already large number of non-whites and many non-whites were already present before the whites arrived. On the other hand democracy ceases to function when people vote for political parties based on racial affiliation, and the US is fast approaching that point.

  50. Democrats stand to benefit even if illegal immigrants aren’t made citizens or allowed to vote.

    Congressional districts are apportioned by total population, not the citizen population or the population eligible to vote. So illegal immigrants, if steered to the right parts of the country, will boost the Democrats’ share of Congress (and the Electoral College) simply by being there.

    Slave states in the antebellum period had exaggerated political power for the same reason: slaves couldn’t vote but counted for apportionment (albeit subject to the Three-Fifths Compromise).

    are Zionists, ie ‘Jewish nationalists’, also “losers”?

    You seem to answer expand on the first question, but not the 2nd, which I repeat above — note: it’s a one word answer.

    Because:

    1) Aping the Left's identity politics, and embracing the shallowness and celebration of mediocrity implicit in that, does not appeal to me. You don't fight monsters to become one.

    Yes, I'm white. No, I'm not sorry for it. Yes, I'm proud of what my ancestors have achieved in history-for all the problems we've caused, we've taken humanity to pinnacles of progress that no other race can claim. Yes, I'm going to naturally root for my team, just as Asians, blacks, et all, root for theirs. But I feel no mystical connection to some Aryan Brotherhood punk sitting behind bars by virtue of the color of our skin (nor do I feel any mystical connection to, say, Hillary Clinton, by virtue of her skin), I loathe neo-Nazis who fetishize a madman who would have murdered 50 million+ people in Generalplan Ost had he not been stopped, and I believe that American citizens should enjoy the same rights and be judged on their value to society and their loyalty, not their origin. Furthermore, people who actively embrace the idea of a white ethno-state really have no freaking clue, sitting comfortably behind their computers, how utterly nasty sectarian, racial wars are. We do not want one.

    2) The emphasis on white nationalism found in sections of the alt-right is a major turn-off for groups (such as Asians, newer waves of Jews from the former USSR, and Gabbard style Democrats) who might otherwise be privately open to many alt-right talking points, especially as the left gets ever-loonier. One of the major strengths of the alt-right is not being chained to idiotic positions held by "conservatives" in the US, such as yet more major tax cuts for guys like Zuckerberg who vote against them and fulfilling his wishes on H1B visas, losing wars of choice abroad, and ranting on about gays and abortion (an important weapon in keeping Central American migrant birth rates down, BTW) when we've got far, far bigger socio-cultural problems. It is *imperative* to keep distinguishing from the GOP if Generation Z is to be fully won over. The alt-right shouldn't piss this away by embracing white purity.

    3) Feeding into that, actively discrediting enemy propaganda is hard enough without Cletus the local Aryan skinhead becoming your major image in the public mind. If, again, more Asians became sympathetic to alt-right talking points, it'd be much harder all of a sudden for the MSM to play the "racist" card when it comes to talking points like cracking down on illegal immigration, etc.

    (Hell, I can even see assimilated Muslims agreeing on a lot of the problems about modern feminism and bipartisan stupidity in the Middle East, while the more sane feminists agree about the dangers of uncontrolled migration from the Islamic World and might be forced to recognize the problems of "intersectionality". The more internal contradictions created in the Coalition of Fringes, the more likely the whole thing collapses. Just keep pounding away.)

    4) It's also important for the alt-right to embrace the countercultural, irreverent vibe-not a role that is natural for conservatives, but that's the key, given the stodgy, increasingly authoritarian/clergy-esque left-wing establishment. The media must be parodied, made fun of themselves in the public imagination, like they do to others all the time. Not easy to do that with a throwback ideology like white nationalism.

    There are various levels of white nationalism. At the extreme you have a white-run dictatorship where non-whites are either excluded or officially treated as second class citizens. At the milder end you have white democratic majoritarianism, which basically means white majorities deciding to keep their nations majority white. Australia was a white majoritarian country until the early 1970s. Some European countries will probably go down this route in the not-to0-distant future.

    At the moment I can’t see either white nationalism or citizen-based democracy being sustainable in New World countries. On the one hand, white nationalism is impractical because there are already large number of non-whites and many non-whites were already present before the whites arrived. On the other hand democracy ceases to function when people vote for political parties based on racial affiliation, and the US is fast approaching that point.

    Sid Vicious had balls.
     
    Not true.

    Wait, I don't mean literally not true, as that's not my call, but I don't think he had to during that era in order to wear his Swasticker t-shirt. I was around then. Anything that was over the top like that was let slide whether considered left-wing politically, or right, back in the 80's. Punk rockers especially got a pass, as I think lots of people were scared of them.

    The only part that really worried me was that mosh-pit crap. I mean, you've got to be pretty wasted to not mind some guys jumping off the stage right on top of your head. I think they just wanted to start fights, and the real fans would probably have been extremely proud to have gotten a black eye from Sid Vicious or any of those guys, maybe even a boot-heal indentation on their skulls... helps pick up chicks next show (not the kind I'd want, but to each his own).

    Sid never saw the 80s. Died in 1979, if memory serves.

    OK, Brutusale, thanks for the update. If the Sex Pistol spent more time tweeting and less time jumping onto the audience (well, that may have been after their time), I'd have learned this tidbit of information a bit earlier and could have paid my proper respects tried to get more money for that used LP.

    I'm getting my decades confused a bit. Thanks.

    How does that one go again? "If you can remember the '80's, not enough people jumped onto your head in the mosh pit."

    Any excuse to avoid homework and finals.

    BTW, that creetcha in the left foreground–is that its hair, or does it have Ray Milland in a wig grafted to its shoulder?

    I’m seeing more and more of this hair dealie where top and bottom or two sides are different. The SchizoTonsorial Age is upon us.
