So Trump changes his mind a bit on trannies, says bathroom laws should be left up to the states.

When in doubt, the perfect answer is "leave it to the states," I'll take it.

When in doubt, the perfect answer is "leave it to the states," I'll take it.

First of all, I don't think Trump is backtracking much, if at all, by clarifying it should be left to the states. His original statement was mostly indifference, but he never said North Carolina should reverse their decision. He merely stated he didn't see what the big deal was. This helps him with centrist and left voters, and raises concerns among the right. But by now adding, "It's a states rights issue," that calms conservatives because they know even if Trump isn't supportive of banning freaks from restrooms, Trump will never push for federal legislation to prevent states from placing such a ban. So even if they disagree, Trump will still respect state sovereignty.

Second, it's like someone who talks with Trump's advisors reads this forum. I say Trump should call it a states rights issue, and literally the next day that's what he does. Great minds think alike? Or a high ranking Trump employee lurking here??

Either way, Trump has learned the small lesson here, for stupid social issues just say, "STATES RIGHTS," and now he can keep his eyes on the prize.

I agree, state's rights is the perfect out for these things - it calms the nerves of both sides of the isle.

I love how this Dallas Morning News journalist lambastes El Ratto his own US Senator:

The incredible shallowness of Ted Cruz’s say-anything presidential campaign:

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews...aign.html/

Shows how much he is hated both in and outside of El Republica del Tejas.

“There have been very few complaints the way it is,” he said. “People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble. The problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic punishment they are taking.”

Trump, working against type, stepped away from the crazy. But Cruz, endlessly on the lookout for the cheap and divisive, saw something besides trouble: He saw opportunity, and seized it with self-righteous zeal.

Proof came a few months later, when he (as usual) got out-maneuvered in the Senate by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Frustrated, he lashed out and called McConnell a liar right on the Senate floor, sending shock waves across the capital.

No wonder Rep. Peter King of New York told reporters just ahead of the Tuesday’s primary that Cruz’s performance as senator has led him to believe he’d never be able to bring this country together as president. “I hate Ted Cruz and I think I’ll take cyanide if he ever got the nomination,” he added.

That’s only slightly less poetic (and hyperbolic) than Sen. Lindsey Graham’s statement at the annual congressional dinner. “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you,” he said.

Ted Cruz caught giving money to a delegate?





We need more context (if only we knew who the guy was) but still, looks very shady

Every issue he's taken a hardline stance on, so far, has had business at the core. Trade, immigration, NATO - his stances all revolve around these things as a business (and to some extent, safety, but even that returns to business). Notice he often scoffs when pressed on social issues. Why? Most of them don't concern him. And that's one the main reasons that I support him. I don't care to play into the delusions of trannies either, but realistically, they're going to use whatever bathroom fits their delusion in the moment, regardless of the law. They're likely going to take issue with what he said anyway. In 2016, being "phobic" about something really means "not sufficiently excited by".

Incredibly true.

If women want to drive this 'civil rights' crap, then let them deal with the reality of degenerate men in their toilets. I hope they feel like doubleplusgood persons who are so very enlightened and progressive as they deal with the issues straight men have to deal with from sharing toilets with Gays: hoping you won't have to hear the sound of arsefucking or masturbating when you enter; having to jump puddles of cum on the floor to even make it to the toilet; hoping there's not fresh cum on the seat; hoping there's not fresh cum on the toilet paper or down the wall; hoping you can have a crap without someone trying to peep in the crack of the door, or stick a phone or their hand or a foot under the stall. I learned to take a wide stance in the middle of a urinal so there's no room for anyone to slide in next to me because otherwise some creep will stare at your dick and start wanking, and that's assuming there isn't a spyhole in the facing stall for someone to be filming through with their mobile phone as you take a piss.

I don't mean now and then or sometimes, I mean every time. This is why I really try to avoid using public toilets if I can help it, and always use disabled toilets if there's the option. It was that out of control in my hometown. The Police tried to clean it up due to the mass of public complaints, but then got threatened 're-educated in sensitivity' by a visit from a Diversity and Tolerance mob out of Darlinghurst about how problematic it was to target gay men for 'Harrassment', so washed their hands of it.

A couple of months ago I was caught short but was in a higher-end arcade and figured it'd be safe. I approached the toilet: there's two workers dressed in hi-viz outside with a cistern on the floor next to them, playing with their mobile phones.

"Bog broken?" I asked.

The first one shrugged. "Nah, some old faggot is camped in there hoping to get lucky."

"Don't reckon it's happening," the other one added. "He's been there for two fuckin' hours."

I screw up my face, but I'm also not that surprised, not really. "Why don't you move him on?"

Another shrug. "We get paid either way."

Welcome to your future, Ladies. Suck it. I hope you'll be as mortified to the degree I am with this crap and you'd happily label me as 'homophobic' for feeling.

Ted, with all due respect, the point in giving money under the table (or under a sheet of paper), is that the money should, well, circulate from hand to hand under the table (or book, or newspaper...). Under the table during the whole process, not hovering under, then being passed above...

My verdict: Low-energy under-the-table deal! Must try again.

The bottom line with that money thing is that if he's hiding it, he's up to no good.

I can't imagine that he's dumb enough to personally bribe delegates though but then again he's arrogant.

HIGH ENERGY TRUMP RALLY IN DELAWARE!!

Are women even capable of protesting / articulating their displeasure with trannys in their fucking bathrooms?

This goes back to women submitting and following instruction better than men. Their liberal masters tell them to allow trannys, so they do. They only push for 'womens' choice' when the media tells them to.

Most of the arguments over trannys seem to be fathers / men arguing about how stupid it is. NOONE asks girls what they think or want.

Girls can't / won't organize any sort of response. They are the afterthought in all of this. They won't revolt against what they're told so they don't really matter.

Finally, an Indiana poll:



If Trump wins Indiana the primary is over imo. The Lizard of Oz said he would put his money on Cruz for this state, but it turns out the blue collars outnumber the Evangelicals so my money is on The Donald!

Bing also predicts a Trump win:

Cruz not having a road to the nomination will hurt his numbers.

Trump will win Indiana and the nom.

Yeah, Cruz will probably win 4 states at most from here on out: Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana and maybe New Mexico.

Nebraska and Montana will be fairly close and a win is not impossible. South Dakota seems like the only certainty, I don't know about New Mexico except from a poll in February which had Cruz at 25% and Trump at 24%, followed by Rubio's 19 percent.

An interesting post by our great Anabasis to Desta about the two Dakota's (and Nebraska and Montana): https://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-48360...pid1273967

This is the schedule for the rest of the primaries:

Agreed. It's negative social proof from here on out.

The "NeverTrump" people and hardcore Evangelicals will stick with Cruz, but others who supported him before may start to waver now.

Media's moving on to Trump using a mock Indian accent at a rally.

lol I think 99% of the US population has at least briefly attempted an Indian accent before among friends. Nobody will care, especially in the context of an Indian answering from a call center. Whether they admit it or not, nobody would rather talk to someone in Bangalore over someone from anywhere in the US. That's not even controversial.

edit: Upon watching the video, it was barely an impersonation anyways. If you are "outraged" or "triggered" by that, then you might as well never leave the house and live in your head until you die from old age.

I'm Indian and I hangup on these mother fuckers.

Anyone who works in business gets calls with people with Indian accents, especially in the technology/software/design/etc sectors.

Trump telling it at is once again - there won't be much blowback from this.

Why? Because EVERYONE gets calls from them.

BIG NEWS!

After a nice Indiana poll earlier, Fox just came out with two new polls; one from Indiana and one from California. Trump winning Yuge in Cali and up by a solid eight points in Indiana, backing up the earlier poll that had him up 6 (fox poll taken on the same days but with bigger sample).

Indiana:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/...diana.html

Quote:Trump is ahead of Cruz by an eight-point margin among Indiana likely Republican primary voters: 41-33 percent. That’s at the edge of the poll’s plus or minus four point margin of sampling error. John Kasich comes in third with 16 percent.

California:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/...-race.html

Quote:Trump captures 49 percent of likely Republican primary voters. That’s more than the combined support for his two remaining competitors: Ted Cruz receives 22 percent and John Kasich 20 percent.

If this holds up then Trump will coast to victory. Momentum from the 26th should give Trump a little bump too.





Posted this earlier, but it is my favorite high energy Trump video and appropriate for the good news:

If this guy had bothered to read the thread he/she would have noted several high rep members wanted people to bring good arguments against voting for Trump.

None did, or were scared to do so because who likes being surrounded and defending themselves from multiple angles for extended periods?

My only concern with Trump is the initial reaction to him being the GOP candidate and possibly, POTUS by Europe and Asia.

As much as it may irk Americans, Asia and Europe does matter when it comes to the USA and international relations and lets be honest here, different tribes don;t like it when another tells them to play ball the way it should be played.

Could Trump over extend his reach with China? Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and other asian nations will require ever more influence from the US military and economic power house to counter China. The USN is already poking sticks into their sides over disputed territories whilst Obama is in office so how wise is it to go further down this path?

European politicians are for the most part, apologists and don't like men such as Trump and have little experience dealing with such a man. He knows how to negotiate, he has a proven track record of dealing with hard cases in businesses and even now from politics.

How many EU/UK leaders have faced such opposition from those who don't want them in power? In the UK all you need to do is claim someone is racist, sexist and hates lower class income families, and women.

In Germany you just call them a Nazi sympathiser. You're getting the gist here I'm sure. EU leaders will be scared of Trump so how will they react to him?

Nah, in his defense, that was me, mate.

I can see how it reads like Concern Trolling, but a Dysfunctional Sexual Marketplace will mess up both men and women, and I always try to identify predictive patterns.

So discard it if you want, but I think what I was trying to say was simply this:

I'm sensing a growing number of people are sick of False Narratives and are actively-seeking Truth in Communication, and that will be a defining feature of whatever follows this Narcissistic Age.

At its heart, that's all I really think this Culture War is about. A large segment of society is waking up and saying Stop bullshitting me.

As such, I expect this to also transition into post-shift male-female dating dynamics.

AB, on the question of unanticipated social revolutions: Preference falsification.

Quote:According to the theory, in articulating preferences, individuals frequently tailor their choices to what appears socially acceptable. In other words, they convey preferences that differ from what they genuinely want. Kuran calls the resulting misrepresentation “preference falsification.” In his 1995 book, Private Truths, Public Lies, he argues that the phenomenon is ubiquitous and that it has huge social and political consequences. These consequences all hinge on interdependencies between individual decisions as to what preference to convey publicly. A person who hides his discontent about a fashion, policy, or political regime makes it harder for others to express discontent.

One socially significant consequence of preference falsification is widespread public support for social options that would be rejected decisively in a vote taken by secret ballot. Privately unpopular policies may be retained indefinitely as people reproduce conformist social pressures through individual acts of preference falsification.

In falsifying preferences, people hide the knowledge on which it rests. In the process, they distort, corrupt, and impoverish the knowledge in the public domain. They make it harder for others to become informed about the drawbacks of existing arrangements and the merits of their alternatives. Another consequence of preference falsification is thus widespread ignorance about the advantages of change. Over long periods, preference falsification can dampen a community’s capacity to want change by bringing about intellectual narrowness and ossification.

Sound familiar?

Almost everything we have been told is a boldfaced lie, whether it be about sexuality, race or history. Narratives are created based on the omission and outright censoring of information that hurts the political agenda and the incessant promotion of false and misleading information.

Most normal people, even if they don't consciously know why and definitely can't counter the ridiculous claims, most of these people inherently feel something is awfully wrong. Transsexual men are not women. No one is equal because we are so obviously different. We don't have rape culture at liberal colleges. And on and on.

But they think they are alone in this feeling: preference falsification. They're too afraid to talk about it and all the see in the media is the right way to think and behave, so they do. But the feelings of unease increase further and further. Then when the bubble pops, one real estate billionaire stating without shame that the emperor is in fact completely naked, we see the preference cascade where everyone realizes everyone else was also thinking the same. Essential concepts, in my opinion.

From an article on the rise of Trump: "A Trump wave is on the way."

Quote:In totalitarian societies like the old Soviet Union, the police and propaganda organizations do their best to enforce preference falsification. Such regimes have little legitimacy, but they spend a lot of effort making sure that citizens don't realize the extent to which their fellow-citizens dislike the regime. If the secret police and the censors are doing their job, 99% of the populace can hate the regime and be ready to revolt against it — but no revolt will occur because no one realizes that everyone else feels the same way.

This works until something breaks the spell and the discontented realize that their feelings are widely shared, at which point the collapse of the regime may seem very sudden to outside observers — or even to the citizens themselves. Kuran calls this sudden change a “preference cascade,” and I wonder if that’s not what’s happening here.

Thank you Donald Trump and thank you social media (we'll forgive the narcissism you've exacerbated).
