Seriously womanly behavior.

Funnily enough, I started writing a message to Leonard a couple of days ago, and just realised I never sent it. An excerpt:

Quote:Since the forum - note that it originated in the DC area - purportedly has an Intelligence Presence, (as last year's guided subversion into White Nationalism and Jewish Conspiracies suggested, and which I was directly warned off about, with this subversive activity particularly strong from multiple accounts that existed in the very early days), then if Trump has gone full Neo-con, I'd expect this: many frenzied justifications for the flip; people saying 'it doesn't matter as long as we get immigration reform'; 'this is actually 4D chess!'; and attempts to shame one into submission by questioning your masculinity or lack of loyalty to 'the cause'.

Either that, or it's simply civvies suffering from a) the denial stage of grief, or, b) pumped-up american exceptionalism in action.

So, too all the guys shaming us for not listening to what Trump says, but watching what Trump does, (fuck all of genuine import against his internal enemies to both the left and right since the election but, damn, is he eager to rush into potential wars on two simultaneous fronts against multiple enemies whilst only offering his supporters pissweak 'perhaps' tweets when they get physically beaten), I can play that game too:

"Trump isn't like that! You just don't know him like I do!"

Did he just imply that Samseau and Roosh are intelligence agents?

I can't wait to hear the alternatives to nationalism, "arrogance", and "greed" that comrade Bosch is going to share with us.

Alright, let's bring it back to domestic policy for a second. The Trump train is about to make a brief stop to pick up another passenger so please make room for our latest companion, Trump's newly appointed chief economic advisor, Kevin Hassett.

As the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin (he's great, folks, let me tell you!) will play a key part in implementing the America First economic policy. And really, who better to advise the president on how to put America First than someone who proudly shares all the core tenets of our vision? Kevin's words and background speak for themselves!

Quote:The Axios news site used three bullet points to describe the views held by Hassett, formerly an economist at the American Enterprise Institute.

China: Hassett warned in 2010 that bashing China-U.S. trade policy would bring the U.S. back to the downward spiral in the 1930s.

Globalization: “An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.”

Immigrant workers: [E]conomic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.”

The Financial Times said Hassett’s pick shows “nationalist forces have lost some ground when it comes to the economic advice reaching the president.” The Financial Times, in fact, used Hassett’s words to reveal his stance on issues.

• America Needs more workers

… With lackluster GDP growth threatening to become our new normal, allowing more immigrants to enter for the sake of employment is one of the few policies that might restore our old normal. If the U.S. doubled its total immigration and prioritized bringing in new workers, it could add more than half a percentage point a year to expected GDP growth.

• Understanding the role of the United States in the global economy

Liberalized trade — in broadly multilateral, regional, or bilateral agreements — is a key ingredient in the recipe for prosperity. … An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.

• Analysis of the economic effects of immigration reform

… This paper explores the economic consequences of expanded immigration on the U.S. economy. It begins by reviewing the immigration practices of our OECD trading partners, and documenting that immigration, as a share of the work force, is well below international norms. The literature identifying the economic impact of immigration is reviewed, suggesting that economic growth could expand significantly if immigration in the U.S. were expanded.

Ooops...never mind, that didn't go in the direction I was hoping for.

The only explanation is that Trump is playing quantum-dimensional chess. Obviously, there is no way a globalist shill would be brought on to fill a role instrumental to creating an architecture to roll back globalist policies. Right?

Since my last comments, I'm still trying to make sense out of various news.

I'm not sure what to believe about the Syria business. Too much noise to sort through.

Probably best to check out of following it closely and re sync later. It's not like I'm going to change much from here.

Well its very convenient that the G7 is taking place right now. A meeting of the core NATO countries without Russia, but they have their spies inside as normal.

Its also convenient that Boris Johnson cancelled his trip to Russia and this leaves the door open for T.rex to give Russia the news.

A coalition of the willing or another Trump ploy to show up the war mongers. We will find out soon enough.

Apparently Bannon may be being forced out, though take the DM with a pinch of salt.

Not sure who you are talking to, because I haven't said any of the things you said, nor has any of the major supporters here. No one is suggesting blind obedience to Trump. Straw man.

The idea that this forum is "being subverted" into WN and Jewish conspiracies, I think you're either paranoid or mistake the truth for subversion. Check your premises because your conclusions are wrong. Only a handful of guys on this forum are WN, but anyone who is not afraid can see the Talmudic influence killing America.

Proof the Talmuds manipulate America into Israel's wars: https://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-53767...pid1546818

Let's try to bring back some more objectivity to this thread. He's been President for 80 days now with 1380 days left for this term.

A lot of time to turn things around. But we also thought we'd be at a rather different position at this point in his Presidency.

Let's look at where he said he wanted to be in the first 100 days, in his "Contract With The American Voter" he announced in Gettysberg.

KEY
Green - Fully implemented
Blue - Mostly implemented or very likely
Orange - No or little progress
Red - Reversed direction

Quote:What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington

Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;

* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;

* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately

* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back

* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

- Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act.
An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.

- End The Offshoring Act.
Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.

- American Energy & Infrastructure Act
Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.

- School Choice And Education Opportunity Act
Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.

- Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act
Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.

- Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act
Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families

- End Illegal Immigration Act
Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.

- Restoring Community Safety Act
Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

- Restoring National Security Act
Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values

- Clean up Corruption in Washington Act
Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.

This is my pledge to you.

And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.

To an extent we can see that Congress has not been cooperative whatsoever.

But at the same time many things that are well within his power such as cancelling Obama's executive orders, renegotiating NAFTA, labelling China a currency manipulator etc has just not been actioned.

I'll give credit where credit is due and props to him for at least keeping some of these promises as well as getting many businesses to keep their factories in America.

But it feels like he only went for the low-hanging fruit, the stuff that doesn't really move the needle or will tick checkboxes but will still allow the decline to take place in some other form (or just be delayed a little while).

In addition to not meeting his promised goals he's now bombed Assad's troops and inducted a shit ton of the swamp into his administration.

It's still early days but looking at this list I realise that even if it's all completed in the next 100 days it's still not enough to reverse the decline, especially if his foreign policy turns to more regime changing invasion and overthrowing democratically elected governments.

Kona which islamic types hate that women attacked them? The christian soldier who died? The alawites who are the most progressive muslims? The sunnis killed who were fighting the islamists? The syrian regime which has women on the beaches and colleges and night clubs?

All the islamists are celebrating.

Some of this list is simply wrong. Trump did announce his intention to renegotiate NAFTA. You can go find tons of news stories on this, I won't bother linking them here.
Some of this list has been taken over by events. There is scary shit going on with North Korea, and there's reason to believe that events may be coming to a head there. Now is not the time to pick an economic fight with China. (For what it's worth, China has already granted some minor concessions on trade just as a show of goodwill.)
Some of these were done, but overturned by the other branches of government. Trump tried two travel bans, and they were both overturned by a hostile an overactive judiciary.

Whether AB accused anyone in particular or not, he correctly identified one of the easiest ways to emotionally manipulate opinion on the forum. For now my approach is to observe actions instead of words and operate under the assumption I do not know everything that is going on.

The President is not above lying in order to misdirect the attention of his enemies. We may not get to be in on the misdirection this time. Maybe he did sell us out to the neocons. The information to confirm either assumption is lacking at the time of posting. We can see his actions, and the unknowns pull me in two wildly different directions.

Note the key -> Orange - No or little progress

He may have announced his intention but nothing tangible has happened.

Likewise with the travel bans not much has progressed even though it might not have been his fault. However even if they did proceed without being blocked they were still too limited in scope of countries and duration to have had a significant enough effect.

Hahaha, are you guys from Mars or something? Did you suddenly realize Trump is pro-israel? He reiterated in every debate that he is as pro Israel as it gets, his daughter converted to Judaism for regular D, now she is his main advisor.

The only reason why Trump was friendly towards Putin is because he doesn't take Russia seriously, Russia is a failed state and not a threat to US. They're economy is reliant on commodities, the real threat is China.

Americas military spending is 12x that of Russias, US can fly a jet over russia but can Russia do the same? No way in fucking hell. You guys love Putin too much because he poses with bears and shit but he is a loser. Trump never took him seriously because he doesn't pose a threat. Obama didn't even have to fire a missile to force Russian economy into recession, a couple of sanctions and their currency suffered a 50% devaluation, but Putin is so cool because he is Alpha. Hahahahahha

He said in every debate that he is pro-israel.
All of you were fooled because he was friendly towards Putin, he was friendly to him not because he liked him, because Russia is not a threat...... The real threat is China.

Because sensible people interpreted Trump's rhetoric as "America first, Israel second."

Even the Jews themselves thought so, which is why 80% of the (((MSM))) was touting the non-stop "TRUMP IS RACIST ANTI-SEMITE" because Trump appeared to be someone who wouldn't invade the Middle East and create Greater Israel.

Steve Bannon, who talked about the pointlessness of Middle Eastern wars, such as Iraq, was and is still seen as the chief threat to Zionist ambitions. Hence the non-stop smearing of Bannon as anti-semite.

However, if Trump does allow a massive invasion of Syria to commence, we know he is Israel first, America second, and we have to start preparing for some very dark days.

I don't recall Trump ever saying "I'm going to get rid of NATO."

I recall him saying a lot that it's "obsolete" ... "because it doesn't focus on terrorism" and isn't paying its fair share.

Just the kind of extremish-sounding, vague talk that's in the Art of the Deal and that dominates conversational space to get concessions later, which we're kind of seeing now.

In other words, the persuasion probably worked on you.

I'm seeing something here that resembles what Scott Adams calls "the absurd absolute tell for cognitive dissonance."

And I do like the Kushner memes being pushed. Now I don't know what could possibly get rid of Trump's son-in-law. It seems a hard thing to do. He prizes family. But going for his ego and saying his son-in-law is the real president could drive a hard bargain and strike the hard notes.

Edit: Mike's latest periscope is interesting. He keeps saying Kushner and Bannon are against McMaster (and his handler Petraeus) on a ground war in Syria.
