    ah, so many things he doesn't put two and two together about.

    no birthright citizenship;
    does it ever even cross that little gray pea he has for a brain, that without birthright citizenship,
    there is no legitimate citizenship for ANYONE OF EUROPEAN ANCESTRY,
    including himself, and every 'white supremist', in the western hemisphere.

    i just couldn't pass that one up, sorry.

    and speaking of,
    ok i'm paraquting now from what i've seen all over my email inbox;

    no legitimate jurisdiction over immigrants,
    ooookay, so by what authority are they arrested?

    and before another idiot tells me 'x' can't happen in the u.s. because we've got a constitution,
    is anyone truly not aware, that germany had a constition, before, after and during hitler?

    "proud boys" = "brownshirts"

    i know i'm being overly generic, just like the faschists are also being overly generic,
    but the details are, as complex, complexly interactive, and way too numerous for an old fart like me to keep up with,
    just like they are in nature, which people call simple because they're simply so complex as to go unnoticed.

    besides many of them being the hand the illusionist wants you to be distracted by,
    while his other is stabbing everyone in the back.

    It depends on what is done to the 14th. Trump supposedly just wants to strip citizenship from children born to illegal aliens or perhaps non citizens, not legal ones.

    That would include Native Americans under tribal jurisdiction.

    And his own people came from Canada, without applications or Green Cards, after their whore house went bankrupt.

    After years of bitching and crying about "illegal immigration" Trump and his cronies are now saying they want to stop legal immigration by limiting asylum seeking paths. The majority of the Hondurans, Mexicans, and Salvadorans wish to apply at proper ports of entry. But now even that legal way is being blocked by Trump and company. He is also saying he wants to stop the "Birth Right" method, because these immigrants would move to chain migration. He seems to forget that his wife's entire family was brought to the USA by way of chain migration.

    Trump, politicians who support Trump, and those who Trump supports have a brothel commonality.

    In age of Trump, evangelicals back self-styled top U.S. pimp

    In age of Trump, evangelicals back self-styled top U.S. pimp

    excerpts:

    "PAHRUMP, Nev. (Reuters) - He styles himself as America's best-known pimp, a strip-club owner who runs multiple brothels and looks set to win a seat as a Republican in the Nevada legislature with the blessing of many conservative Christian voters.

    Meet Dennis Hof, whose political rise reflects fundamental changes in electoral norms that have roiled the Republican Party and upended American politics during the era of President Donald Trump.

    “People will set aside for a moment their moral beliefs, their religious beliefs, to get somebody that is honest in office," he said. "Trump is the trailblazer, he is the Christopher Columbus of honest politics.""

    Trump supports Jim Renacci who has used an airplane of a strip club owner to meet with religious groups during his run for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. Trump had Renacci sit right beside him at a visit in Cleveland which Trump, in his classic bait-and-switch tactic, turned into a campaign stop for Renacci.

    Trump must have learn a few tricks from Benjamin Nothingyahoo. He is now equating the Latin American migrants with the Palestinians who have been a thorn in Nothingyahoo's buttocks. Trump has just issued orders to the 15000 troops he had sent to the border to treat rocks as rifles and to shoot rock throwers. The migrants haven't reached the border yet and so far appear to be carrying their children

    68% of young people between 18 - 29 years old disapprove of Trump's performance

    Young Americans signal record turnout for midterm elections, reject Trump and the GOP: Poll

    And 40% of them plan to vote! Which is..better than usual at any rate

    Thank god there's a generation out there that hasnt completely lost their goddamn minds.
    Trump's divisive rhetoric isnt going to work on a generation raised in a culture of acceptance and diversity

    I'm feeling a little...dare i say it? Hopeful about the midterms

    I'm almost thinking Beto has a slim shot here in Texas. I didn't think so two weeks ago. I'm basing it mostly on early voting. Early voting in all the big Texas counties is at 2016 levels, which doesn't happen during midterms. And despite being Texas, big cities here are about as blue as anywhere.

    I compared that to voter turnout in the redneck part of Texas where I grew up, which had turnout slightly higher than 2014, but nowhere near a presidential election. It's 80% red.

    If those trends hold up statewide, Beto could win.

    Not that I'd gamble on it. My moneys still on House to the blue team, Senate stays with red team.

    I think Australia may have a point with compulsory voting.

    Trump has been running a fake information TV add claiming that Democrats had let Luis Bracamontes come into the United States. Several reporters looked into it and discovered he had come into the USA when G W Bush was president.

    What's compulsory voting? (i know... i could just google).

    I hope O'Rourke wins. That would be a great sign. And what would be really cool is if all this early voting translates into a big blue wave. But I suspect what will actually happen is that I'll be disappointed by the election results come Wednesday morning. Maybe not though.

    An article about Trump's astroturfing of his public event in 2015 announcing his run for President. It does seem strange that young people in a melting pot like NYC would be cheering Trump's anti-immigrant stance and his call for a border wall.


    Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcement

    Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcement

    excerpt:

    "Donald Trump's big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.

    New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump's event.

    Questions as to whether the Trump campaign had hired extras were first raised Wednesday by anti-Trump activist Angelo Carusone, who came across an Instagram photo showing a man he recognized as a background actor posing at the Trump event. Carusone screengrabbed the photo of the actor, Domenico Del Giacco, and published it in a blog post. The photo shows Del Giacco with a woman, identified in the now-deleted Instagram post as actress Courtney Klotz. (Del Giacco has since deleted his entire Instagram account.)"

    Sometimes I think so too
    But then conversely, sometimes I think there should be some sort of test you have to take before voting to show you actually understand the issues at stake and have taken time to research the candidates

    You automatically register everyone to vote, and force them too. In Australia it's like a $25 fine or similar.

    I dunno. It'd defiantly be nice if you had better educated voters. But right now we primarily have a gerontocracy, which is ruled by people who get retire, get bored, and then can't resist the sirens call of cable news. And I'm not sure 8 hours a day of angry talk shows makes you much more politically literate.

    I'd be against that. Voting per se has no value. Dragging alienated voters to the polls who may not know or care about the process but are just voting because they have to seem meaningless and dangerous to real democracy.

    I hope you are correct. I read that only 30% of millenials said they would vote.

    I agree that forcing someone to vote is not beneficial.

    I am hoping that Beto wins, but I think that's doubtful. I think Walker will lose in Wisconsin, and Gillam wins in Florida. In Oklahoma, and Kansas, the dems have a chance at the governorships.

    In the weeks leading up to midterms, Trump has narrowed his acceptance cone and dug his own trench even deeper, as opposed to making an effort to reach out to moderates. It's characteristic of Trump who thinks that an initial success of his makes him devine.


    Trump’s Nationalism Is Breaking Point for Some Suburban Voters, Risking G.O.P. Coalition
    By Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns

    Trump’s Nationalism Is Breaking Point for Some Suburban Voters, Risking G.O.P. Coalition

    excerpt:

    "Tuesday’s House election may turn on an equally significant and opposite force: a generational break with the Republican Party among educated, wealthier whites — especially women — who like the party’s pro-business policies but recoil from President Trump’s divisive language on race and gender.

    Rather than seeking to coax voters like these back into the Republican coalition, Mr. Trump appears to have all but written them off, spending the final days of the campaign delivering a scorching message about preoccupations like birthright citizenship and a migrant “invasion” from Mexico that these voters see through as alarmist.

    In Republican-leaning districts that include diverse populations or abut cities that do — from bulwarks of Sunbelt conservatism like Houston and Orange County, Calif., to the well-manicured bedroom communities outside Philadelphia and Minneapolis — the party is in danger of losing its House majority next week because Mr. Trump’s racially-tinged nationalism has alienated these voters who once made up a dependable constituency."

    that has to be the most ironically mixed metaphor ever.
