Donald Trump the Megathread part II

@amandstu

I also assumed that the strictest policy might be the one aspired to by this administration as I feel racism is involved and that many of the whites in America unspokenly .want to avoid being "outbred" by the "darkies"

That's entirely it. You can see this clearly that they want to deport even peaceful migrants who are working hard jobs that keep the US economy running. Little to no interest in looking at amnesty based on record. No respect for the idea of naturalisation or birthright citizenship.

And am I misremembering it or have their not been, in the recent past, conservative US pundits giving projections that the USA will be, by a given year, a minority white country?

There are subtleties in the strategy to achieve the current aim. Splitting ethnic groups into 'good' and 'bad' is one. Take the Latin Americans who are a few generations deep in the USA - many of these voted for Trump in the last election and are fully invested in the 'coming in the right way' narrative. They get their ego stroked in this way and through that they give consent to the Trump government's policies with no awareness that they're next, once all the 'bad' migrants have been expunged. Their support will not be rewarded in the long term. The end goal of the MAGA project is to have a WASP ascendency whose position in American society cannot be challenged. Once the darker ones are made to know their place, it'll be those of Irish, Polish, Italian extraction etc who get put in the crosshairs. This thought model always needs an enemy.

And that'd be one thing if WASPs were a people who were native to America and had been living there for thousands of years (i.e. we don't challenge the idea that the Japanese maintain an interest in keeping their society relatively homogenous. They're very much the natives of those islands) but WASPs have only been there for a few hundred years and yet have this underlying belief that they are the rightful inheritors of that land, which they're not.

Love it when the loonies turn on each other....

I cant see Trump firing his AG or accepting her resignation over that of Bongino. If there is depth to the disquiet felt by Bongino, the question then is; is he enough of a seasoned infighter that he kept possession of something undeniably incriminating in order to ensure he is retained in federal employment by the Trump Admin.

Posted by George Conway, so it's real.

People wanted more "gloves off" from the Democrats.

I'd argue this definitely constitutes that approach...

As I understand it, those federal judge rulings now only have effect in the district in which they're issued, per the latest Supreme Court edict, yet MAGA are still complaining that federal judge rulings are being applied in their relevant districts. Hmmm….

That's just a rehash of the rhetorical framing that failed to win the election for Kamala Harris eight months ago.

If this was going to work as a political strategy, it would have already worked by now.

Remember this is the same group of fools that imposed tariffs on uninhabited islands and then Howard Lutnik tried to defend it by saying the imposition of tariffs on the Heard and McDonald islands was meant to close "ridiculous loopholes" and would prevent other countries from shipping through the islands to reach the US.

Its near impossible for a small boat to land on the islands let alone trans-ship goods from it.

But the answer appeases the maga loyalists.

Seems trump thinks that america has a phenomenal power over other countries and is trying to wield that power. But they no longer have the level of power trump thinks the US has and he's putting the US on a fast track to becoming far less relevant in modern society.

There's plenty of horrible people in the world but none bar Trump that I wish ill health and worse on.

Every day he's in charge of the USA is a sad and worrisome day, not only for Americans but the rest of the world too.

I have to say too the arrogance of the Americans thinking they can tell the rest of the world what food to eat, what healthcare system to run is astounding, I dont care how 'irish' american tourists are they should know all about what tje rest of the world thinks of them in no uncertain terms
