It may be that you were a lurker (Id loove to give you the benefit of the doubt) but It doesn't seem like you have been reading the whole site despite being here for around 8 months.

It would probably be a good idea to look around at the forum and build up yourself by posting good things in other threads and categories (Not the everything else, or the Politics, or the *Politician thread*) It will help you get a lot of decent feedback before throwing yourself to the wolves (talking about politics on this site)

Now of course, you can do what you want, Im not calling for you to get banned or anything(that is up to you and your behaviour and how well you follow the rules of the forum [please read them a few times so you understand them]) Just letting you know that its probably a good idea to assimilate to the community here a bit better. Of course that doesn`t mean you have to fall in line with what everyone is saying. BUT, it would be a good idea if you have a dissenting opinion, to do a better job of presenting it, and discuss the hows and why of your ideas.

Of course it would be a good idea to do a search on the forums first to see if your point has been discussed before, and if so, if its been debunked thoroughly or not. If it has been debunked, then please be ready to debate those points with logical hows and whys and use reputable sources.

Will it be difficult? possibly, Will it be worth it for you? Maybe, you may be able to enlighten us to a different way of seeing things. OR you may also LEARN something invaluable!

You never know. This forum just may change your life! It has for many people so far.

Good luck friend

Not sure if you guys have seen this, during the festivities of last weekends epic inauguration Alex Jones interviewed everyday Trump supporters on the ground in DC and this BASED Indian went on an epic rant about the dangers of Islam. ALL of Islam, not just "radical" Islam. He mentions Taqiyya and everything.

It was high energy.

It is incredible seeing all of the things that Trump is doing right now. He is truly using the strategy 'shock and awe'. I would be weary of potential 'weathermen' groups emerging again, carrying out small time attacks. The media, George Soros etc will be giving them enough praise and validation for doing so. I just remember the Skynews journalists describing the rioters in Washington as 'resisting against police', even though they were the ones attacking the police in the first place.

Forming a union with Russia to fight against ISIS, is truly the icing on the cake.

A trade war putting tariffs on just Mexican imported goods is:

1) against the free market (which I don't think you care)
2) would cause price rise in several things that the US imports from MX, I read that just for cars we should expect an increase of 10-15%, avocados would skyrocket

It is not a one sided trade. Yes, Mexico is the US 1st destination of exports but Mexico is the 2nd or 3rd one for the US. Why start a trade war with your 2nd/3rd largest trading partner?

According to Econ 101, if a 20% tariff for Mexican exports is the way to pay for the wall, who really pays? the producer or the consumer?

You're missing the point entirely. The tax won't happen, it will have the same effect as a bluff.

This has nothing to do with Econ 101, it's Psyop Warfare.

Yup, and in the end it will probably just be a tax on remittances, which doesn't cost us anything and is huge leverage on the Mexican government. They can't do anything about it either. At the moment, the Mexican government is acting like a bunch of babies. They could go to Trump with a poor hand to play and at least try and get the most out of it, or they could whine and complain like they are doing now while Trump taxes the shit out of remittances and Mexico loses a lot of money at no expense to us while paying for the wall.

As a side note, I don't think Trump wants to "end" NAFTA (or somewhat free trade between Mexico and the US), but he wants to renegotiate and stop the unfairness that goes on at the border and also the trend of our companies moving to the Mexico and selling shit back to us for slightly cheaper (Econ 101 says cheaper is better, but we are talking 5-10% cheaper which isn't all that noticeable for a consumer) at the same time we lose out on a ton of jobs. What is better? More jobs and a bigger middle class in the USA or some of our products being a little cheaper? I'll go with jobs and a middle class. Not to mention, if Trump cuts corporate taxes and regulations in the US and also unleashes our energy resources, then the costs of making goods here will drop, making the "cheaper goods" argument weaker. Renegotiating NAFTA also can give us greater national sovereignty which is important too.

Mexico is playing on pride, not on their intellect.

"Hey Donald we will help you build the wall. We can do it 50/50 or even 75/25, but we need your help with the following issues:
-Drug cartels;
-Better immigration law for our citizens that choose to live in the US;
-A good trade deal for South-Central-North America, with USA pivoting the deal;
-Etc etc etc
"
I believe there's so much mexican government can try to leverage on.
Now he risks to get a dump of bad criminal hombres back in his country as well as a dump of good unemployed hombres where the risks may far outweigh the cost of a wall.

Wrong!

Trump is just gettin' started! And that's ok. We've been swept up by this fervor and there seems to be no end in sight. Don't get me wrong, the game and lifestyle forums still have their place and I browse them regularly. But this was a revolutionary election and none of us really saw it coming; so the focus on politics will just have to do for now American

I agree. We're back to the days where you check this thread several times a day just to keep up, and there are several new pages of posts each time. It's as active as some of the high points of the election. President Trump is such a dynamo of activity, it's stunning!

I mean, Hannity was one of only three Fox (and MSM as a whole) journalists to be fair with mister Trump during the campaign. So now, once elected, president Trump gives him a White-House interview, whereas the slandering leftist MSM is kept at bay.

And in case you are wondering what happened to Enemies of the State #1:

Hillary Clinton’s Legal Troubles Just Got Even Worse


Share the News:
If Hillary Clinton thought her election loss was the end of her troubles, she has another thing coming.

At the inauguration, Congressman Jason Chaffetz – who chairs the House Oversight Committee – made a major announcement.

And it was really bad news for Hillary Clinton.

Chaffetz posted a photo to his Instagram account announcing that the investigation into Hillary Clinton will continue.

Breitbart reports:

“CONGRESSMAN JASON CHAFFETZ, HEAD OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, PUBLISHED A PHOTO OF HIMSELF GREETING LOSING DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HILLARY CLINTON AT FRIDAY’S INAUGURATION CEREMONY, TEASING, “THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES,” WITH NO OTHER COMMENT.

“SO PLEASED SHE IS NOT THE PRESIDENT,” CHAFFETZ WROTE ON INSTAGRAM, WHERE HE POSTED THE PHOTO. “I THANKED HER FOR HER SERVICE AND WISHED HER LUCK. THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES.”

AS HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIRMAN, CHAFFETZ PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN INVESTIGATING CLINTON FOLLOWING THE REVELATION THAT SHE HAD USED AN UNSECURED PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER TO SAVE CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS SHE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH IN HER CAPACITY AS SECRETARY OF STATE. CHAFFETZ HAS PERSONALLY DEMANDED AN FBI INVESTIGATION INTO CLINTON, ARGUING THAT CLINTON’S CLAIM SHE WAS UNAWARE OF HER BREACH OF SECURITY PROTOCOL DID NOT MATCH THE EVIDENCE THE FBI HAD INITIALLY UNCOVERED. CHAFFETZ WAS EXTREMELY CRITICAL OF FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY’S DECISION NOT TO PROSECUTE CLINTON FOR HER ACTIONS, AND VOWED TO CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION FOLLOWING CLINTON’S DEFEAT IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.”
Chaffetz’s post confirms the previous statement he made in the beginning of January that the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal would continue.

CNN reports:

“HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN JASON CHAFFETZ SAID MONDAY HE WILL CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE HILLARY CLINTON’S USE OF A PRIMARY EMAIL SERVER WHILE LEADING THE STATE DEPARTMENT, BUT CLAIMED HE “WON’T BE A CHEERLEADER” FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP.

“JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS A POLITICAL ELECTION DOESN’T MEAN IT GOES AWAY,” THE UTAH REPUBLICAN SAID OF THE CLINTON INVESTIGATION.

HE CALLED THE CLASSIFIED EMAILS THAT SURFACED ON THE SERVER “THE LARGEST BREACH OF SECURITY IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT.”
This isn’t the only investigation the Clinton’s are facing.

The FBI’s New York field office is also continuing their probe into the Clinton Foundation.

The Daily Caller reports:

“OFFICIALS AT FBI HEADQUARTERS INSTRUCTED ITS NEW YORK FIELD OFFICE TO CONTINUE ITS CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION INTO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION FOLLOWING THE ELECTION OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP, ACCORDING TO A FORMER SENIOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL.

THE INSTRUCTIONS ORDERED AGENTS TO “GO FORWARD” WITH THEIR ONGOING INQUIRY INTO THE CLINTON FOUNDATION WHICH IS FOCUSING ON ISSUES OF CORRUPTION AND MONEY LAUNDERING, ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE.

“THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS TO SHUT IT DOWN, TO DISCONTINUE OR TO STAND DOWN ON THE INVESTIGATION, BUT TO CONTINUE ITS WORK,” THE FORMER OFFICIAL TOLD THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION IN AN INTERVIEW.

HE SAID HE RECEIVED THIS INFORMATION ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND THAT THE ORDER ORIGINATED FROM THE BUREAU’S HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WELL AFTER THE NOVEMBER 8 ELECTION. HE DID NOT KNOW WHO AT FBI HEADQUARTERS ISSUED THE ORDER.”

Those sound like good first jobs for American teenagers. I want American kids to be able to start a small neighborhood yard care or pool cleaning business and develop some drive and business experience instead of playing video games and jerking off all day.

Also, you need more internet points before you can shitpost here.

A lot of attention has been paid on this forum to why so many Millennials are such pansies. Part of it is absent fathers, part of it is education, but a lot of is the lack of doing difficult jobs in their teens. There's no better way to redpill as to the realities of work, and why you need to show up on time and not be a drama-whore, than have them spend some time in front of a McDonalds fryer. It makes you grateful for any other work you'll do by comparison.

Millennials didn't start out with low-end jobs because the illegals took them all, and as a result many of them are insufferable and poor workers. Once the illegals are gone and the next generation starts off at fast food places, landscapers, and all those other low end jobs that they're currently taking, expect our national productivity to skyrocket.

There is a little more to it than that. Doing a difficult job in your teens will educate you about the realities of work, but what you learn from waiting tables in your teens can easily be lost in the fog of a university degree you've been browbeaten into taking and fooled into thinking is a guaranteed path to riches. The obsession with university teaches people to hold out for the perfect job rather than take something that's there and now and available, and in particular it teaches people to minimise economic risk-taking behaviour at the one point in their existence where it's easiest to recover.

Let's consider two scenarios, where you're loaned $100,000 after completing a fairly basic education and have no direct experience in the business you plan to start. You are 26 years old in each case. You go into the business you loaned the money for, fail miserably, burn out and tank.

In scenario one, the $100,000 loan is a secured or nonsecured debt depending on how stupid your lender was, will take out most of the assets and hard property you bought with it, leave you trudging back to your parents' house, and will probably force you to declare bankruptcy -- a stinging hit, but not impossible to recover from: Trump blew four companies and came close to being completely blown out in the 90s, a trait he shares with Abraham Lincoln by the way. Indeed recovery from bankruptcy is probably easier in the US than most other countries in the West. It's one reason the US does so well in the entrepreneur stakes, aside from its other advantages: it assumes someone will fuck up at least a couple of times before they hit on a winning idea. And at 26 you are still young enough to go bust your ass in a physical job if necessary and come back financially.

This is, in essence, the position of 90% of small business startups. They're done by entrepreneurs. They fail. And they also generate the majority of employment in the US, despite what Walmart might tell you.

In scenario two, the $100,000 loan cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. It is an albatross around your neck, making it literally twice as hard to recover from because you have to take more debt to start out again and pay off the amount that is still there. It is nondischargeable for what Taleb might call an Intellectual-Yet-Idiot principle/reason: it assumes that having this education you always have $100,000 worth of assets cruising around in your head which eventually you'll make back. The problem being with this assumption that, if you choose poorly to start with, you more or less can't.

This is not a hypothetical, by the way. It is in essence the position that a massive proportion of law students face on graduation from law schools now, here, 2017. Last Psychiatrist as always blames it on narcissism - you don't have an identity so you buy yourself one in the form of a law degree that makes you forever an attorney - but I think the better point is that the drive of people towards college at all costs (quite literally, and no pun intended) removes resilience. It blinkers people to the idea that you don't pay for and take up a career; you create one by bouncing from one job to another, doing Scott Adams' trick of picking up a useful skill or two as you go.

Do not confuse millennial job-hopping for savviness in this sphere: they, too, expect the perfect job on graduation and when they don't find it, tend to waste their twenties looking for it and not asking whether where they are is where they want to go up and pick up more useful skills. This is not the same thing as taking a few risks; it's anything but, still searching for a job to fit your identity rather than creating a career for yourself.

4. Quesadillas are delicious.
5. They're just searching for a better life.

7. Don't be racist.
8. It's the free market.

Taking it up the ass so politicians can say they support the free market can get fucked.

There is basically no such thing as a free market. The first thing someone does if they get money and power is try to limit their competition.

"Free Market" is one more propaganda talking point like "job creators" and "trickle down" , and means "Leave the market alone so we can do whatever we want and ( as Fisto says) screw over anyone we want ."

The wall rhetoric has little to do to forcing Mexico, a poverty stricken country who can't afford it anyway, to pay for a border wall. It has entirely to do with embarrassing Mexico's leadership and bringing them to the negotiating table.

Mexico's narco-sponsered politians are rife with corruption. It is one of the most corrupt nations on Earth. Their (white) political elite enjoy lavish life styles in MC while the massive lower class lives in poverty. They have no choice but to risk their lives and flee to America, where they send money home so their families can survive. Mexican men don't want to be slave laborers in the US; they're Catholic, family oriented people who want jobs at home. Some say that money makes up a third of Mexico's GDP.

Trump wants to cut off demand by preventing illegals from working in the US, forcing them home. The law abiding illegal will go home, the one that turns to crime in the US will be deported with little fanfare. A border tax would render Mexico's manufacturing industry useless. Such actions would force Mexico's wealthy business owners to apply massive pressure on the government, while the unemployed poor citizen creates unrest. The end goal is for a change in leadership that would force Mexico to redistribute wealth and care to its poor by providing employment.

Trumps goal of course is not the poor Mexican. It's cutting demand for their workers and cutting supply of said workers by making it less desirable to come to America. Accomplish those goals and the wall is no longer necessary. There already are several barriers, the Rio being one of them.

Trump's end goal is fair trade deals that benefit both countries, putting Americans to work at American business and Mexicans to work at Mexican business, eliminate capital flight to Mexico from illegal workers, and a redistribution of wealth from billionaire execs to the middle class. Accomplishing these goals insures him a landslide victory in 2020.

The whole world is playing checkers. Trumps playing 4D chess.

In the first bracket of the img change [img] to [img=300x300] if you wanted the image to be 300x300 for example.

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to reduce it by a percentage, so sometimes you just have to preview the post and make sure you haven't lengthened or flattened the image.
