Paging Fast Eddie. Looks like DACA may get squashed after all.

Quote:Facing the threat of a lawsuit from Texas and eight other states, the Trump administration indicated Wednesday that it may decline to defend DACA in court, a move that would likely result in the end of the program that granted amnesty to illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. when they were children.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly went up to Capitol Hill on Wednesday afternoon to address members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, telling them, according to reports, that although he personally supports the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, he can’t promise that the administration will defend it if challenged.

If it plays out that way...

Trump's strategy was obviously never to get rid of DACA - but just to let it quietly fade away.

I want zero immigration except for vetted spouses of US citizens. If companies need workers, they can raise their wages and train people. Or go out of business. Can't compete? Too fucking bad. There is a huge cohort of unemployed people in this country and replacing them with foreigners to keep the market numbers up is not a solution. It's suicide.

All the illegals need to go back too. Fuck off back home, parasites. Maybe without a huge contingent of freeloaders we could start paying down some of the national debt. Maybe? We absolutely could.

But sensible immigration reform is obviously not going to happen.

I don't think it even matters anymore. It's obvious the GOP has no will to fix any of the problems we have. Maybe they're corrupt, maybe they're frightened of their own shadows, who knows. It's just a matter of time before this out-of-control train derails because these dumb fucks are arguing over the proper arrangement of silverware in the dining car instead of figuring out how to hit the brakes.

If Obama used the power of state to do a dirty trick against a domestic political enemy, isn't that highly illegal?

I'm referring to that Russian lawyer who Don jr met with. It looks like the Obama DOJ let her in the country without a visa.

I'd love to pin this on Obama but it's more likely that she paid off a low-level official. I don't see him being smart enough to think ahead to discrediting a Trump presidency - especially if he thought Hillary as a sure thing. If this was a setup, it would have been used in the last days of the campaign.

The broad got the meeting promising dirt on Hillary - and you can bet Hillary was meeting with ANYONE who claimed to have dirt on Trump! Remember Hillary's "war room" from Bill's campaigns? She had an entire staff dedicated to discrediting bimbos and finding dirt on Bush Sr. John McCain flew a guy to London to get a copy of the "golden shower" fake dossier.

It's completely normal to meet with people who claim to have dirt on a political opponent.

Weaponized Autism (not the website, but the anonymous anti-media crowd) took less than two days to pepper Twitter with these bombshells.

I don't think I'm over-stating this, but every time Weaponized Autism defeats the MSM, it makes me think of the American Revolution against the British. Obviously, I wasn't there, but fighting against, and winning big battles against, such a large, well-trained, organizeded media-political system makes me smile.

Holy fuck, that last one.



Unrelated, but holy fuck!

Legal immigration cut by 50%. Not illegal immigration cut by 50%. Wow.

What about foreign workers from Europe and Asia who can work in the industries which are well paid but lack brain power or expertise?

You're not the only country with innovation.

Something tells me the 50% that is allowed to come might be able to pay their own goddamned bills.

Since you have your hands full, we'll take care of the rest of them

God-Emperor Trump and French President Macron held a joint press conference a few short hours ago. If you need to watch it, but don't have much time, skip to minute 19:00 - which is around where the first question begins.

For those who don't want to watch it, there were four questions, only two of which were significant.

Question One, to president Trump, about the Donald Trump, Junior, emails.

Answer one, by President Trump: (summarizing, not quoting), "Politics is a dirty business. Anyone would've taken that meeting. Nothing was exchanged, because the meeting was so short. By the way, I heard that the female Russian lawyer, who wasn't part of the Russian government, was let into the country by Loretta Lynch. I could be wrong about that, but that's what I heard."

------

Question two, to both presidents, about the Paris Climate Accord.

Macron answer, (summarizing), "I liked it, and I'm kind of sad that it didn't pass. But God-Emperor Trump has the right to reject it, and I hope we can work on it again."

Trump answer, (summarizing), "I also hope we can work in it again, but if we don't, that's not a big deal."

------

Question three, by far the most important, starts at around minute 23:00, and was asked to Macron by some faggot American reporter.

Thankfully, this exchange was captured on Twitter by a loser liberal reporter. Must watch; amazing display by God-Emperor Trump!

Missing from the video is that the faggot reporter also asked President Macron whether he supports the Muslim ban, and whether he supports the proposed Wall between Mexico and America. Because Macron's opinions on American domestic infrastructure spending are so important. Fuck that guy.

------

Question four, something about Russia and Syria, wasn't really important.

President Macron's reply, (summarizing), "I like the way we communicate as allies, and I'm happy with our performance in Syria. France doesn't really have much of a relationship with Russia, but we respect them without hating them."

President Trump's reply, (summarizing), "I also like the way we communicate as allies. We negotiated a great cease-fire, and we hope to have longer cease-fires in more and more of Syria."

------

That's it.

I know I'm not a trained reporter, but I want to provide summaries so that you don't have to listen to long speechy things if you don't want to. And I think my summary this time is good enough so you don't have to.

The video is above if you do want to hear the whole thing. If you only want to hear the questions, skip to minute 19:00.

Donald Trump, Junior, liked the news article describing this Poppy Harlow gaffe.

I was going to respond to Fisto's comment when I saw this. Trump is very savy, and has married 1 American and 2 EE's. He realizes how beautiful EE women can be. I still believe he is going to unleash a flood of refugees on the US - from Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Hungary, Belarus, etc and leave the men of this country smiling from ear to ear.

Gorka is a killer PR talking head. I have never seen a interview where he hasn't held his own or lost. He usually "wins" if such a thing is possible in these highly edited, unfair setups. He crushes cooper in this one, which is no small task, as unfortunately to normies and progs he is consider the modern Cronkite. Cooper is talented no doubt (still unfit to lick Cronkite's boots), but Gorka is better.

If Trump is really against fake news and not just news against him, why doesn't he just try to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, or some variation of it that would be more agreeable to Republicans?

I get it, the media is dishonest, but other than calling them out or suing when it becomes slanderous, what are you actually going to do about it?

Quote:France has shifted its priorities from ousting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to defeating terrorism and seeking political stability at home, French President Emmanuel Macron said at a joint press conference with US President Donald Trump.

“On the Iraq-Syria situation, we have agreed to continue working together, in particular on the building of a roadmap for the post-war period,” Macron said during a joint news conference in the aftermath of talks with Donald Trump in Paris. “We have asked our diplomats to work in that direction, so in the next few weeks a concrete initiative can be taken and managed by the P5 [the five permanent members of United Nations Security Council(UNSC)].”

The so-called “contact group” on Syria, according to Macron, should include UN Security Council members, as well as representatives of the Syrian government and rebel groups.

President Assad’s departure is no longer as relevant for Paris, as fighting terrorism at home has now become the top priority, Macron stated.

Because the so-called "fairness doctrine" is inherently unfair, and is inevitably co-opted by the left, as it has in the past.
It is a detriment to the right.

You're going to humiliate CNN so badly that their view numbers go below Yogi Bear reruns, like what happened last week.

You're going to turn the entire country against them and drive them out of business, like Trump did/is doing to Megyn Kelly.

You're going to smash the NYT so hard that they're reduced to selling off office space in their prestigious downtown New York office just to stay afloat.

etc. etc.

The fact alone that Trump frames the media as the opposition party and the enemy of the American people has a huge effect on how his supporters and Republicans in general perceive the press.

If you play buddy buddy with the press, you condition your supporters to trust them. Trump is an intelligent man, so he doesn't make that mistake, unlike most other midwit Republican politicians.

From September '16, before Trump's presidency:

Fake News Network CNN Wrote:"It is also possible that Republicans think less of the media as a result of Trump's sharp criticisms of the press," the release continued.

"Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14% from 32% a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years."
