Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Emma Lazarus (November 2, 1883)

“Give me your well-rested, your wealthy
Your idle rich yearning to dodge taxes
The muddled asses of your gilded penthouses
Send these, the comfortable, in yachts to me,
I lift my leg beside the golden commode!”
– President Donald Shithole Trump

I’ve waited most of my life for the moment when Americans kick out the European-American racists from government in America. Europeans have been getting away with racist colonization for over 500 years and it has to stop at some point. Maybe beginning now. Israel is the last vestige of European racist colonization and Trump of course is all for Israel, all for White People running the world, for White People’s benefit. Look at the Super Rich, almost all white European or European descendants. The rest of the world has put up with this European racist crap for 500 years. Time to let Human Beings speak up, the majority of whom are not white Europeans at all.

TUCKER CARLSON: Today, as you doubtless heard, during immigration talks, President Trump said something that almost every single person in America actually agrees with — an awful lot of immigrants come to this country from other places that aren’t very nice. Those places are dangerous, they’re dirty, they’re corrupt, and they’re poor, and that’s the main reason those immigrants are trying to come here, and you would, too, if you live there…
Of course you can have a debate over what countries we ought to admit immigrants from, and I think we are kind of having that debate, but what bothers me about the explosion this afternoon is the dishonesty in it.
And I will just give you one example. Joan Walsh, over on CNN, an analyst over there was asked just a minute ago, “Would you rather live in Haiti, or Norway.” And she said, with a straight face, “I can’t say.”
Now, that’s lying. If we have gotten to the point where we all have to pretend that every country is exactly as nice as every other country, then we are being dishonest.
Option A: El Salvador isn’t a “shithole,” so they don’t need 17 years of Temporary Protected Status, and migrants from there should be sent home immediately. Option B: El Salvador is, in fact, a “shithole.”
Mark Steyn: No one voluntarily moves to Haiti
Author and commentator Mark Steyn sizes up President Trump’s ‘shithole countries’ remarks, saying the president was asking why should the U.S. give priority to dysfunctional countries:

Twisting themselves into knots to make excuses for the Racist-In-Chief — that’s how Republicans and their enablers spend most of their time these days. As a result, the GOP brand is now inseparable from racism.
And as they continue to double down on the dwindling hard-core base of ignorant, fearful, xenophobic, uneducated, aging right-wing white male voters, they’re dooming themselves politically with the growing majority of Americans.
No amount of gerrymandering and Russian propaganda is going to be able to protect them from the consequences of their own cowardice and demagoguery.
The GOP is the Party of Trump now, and the Party of Trump is the Party of Racism. They hitched their collective fortunes to a racist turd, and down the shithole they shall go.
It would be sad, if it wasn’t so richly deserved.

Back in the 60s at the height of the” love it or leave it”face off around the war and every other god damn thing. A local jester suggested that ” all the people who love should go out and kill all the people who hate”. The Jerk has both his “base” and the “resistance” riled up. No amount indignity is going to convince his admirers they are wrong. These folks sent a wrecking ball to Washington to “drain the swamp”. If he chooses to write his own rules then thats what it takes to overcome an entrenched “deep state”. For those of us who think his conduct inappropriate and frequently outrageous the damage being done isn’t making america great again its turning us against each other and cheapening our image to the world and whats worse our feelings toward each other as americans.

HOJ going a different proposal
Jeff Bezos of Amazon – 1st generation cuban immgrant
He rips off real americans, citizens as an import refugee
How: price gouging, flawed technology, etc…makes hundreds of millions in ill gotten profits…..
Declares he will give 33,000 scholarships at $1k each totalling $33 million……to DACA shits……ya know, adults or kids now who used their age as a status to cheat, cheat, cheat…..the same cheaters cheating the tax system, getting freebie services, avoiding justice as murderers…..
Bezos – makes the perception that illegals are here to disrupt too…..get them in and they’ll funnel cartel money to other illegal shits who want to cheat the system….Lots of legals who want their stolen consumer funds returned by Jeff Bezos………immigration is the trojan horse that keeps giving to illegals……
It ain’t about anything but quality of life, and more people is a worening quality of life……and to not be able to say “no” to whoever regardless is not right……we are never at any point that immigration cant be zeroed….it ain’t a right, but the courts determined “once in custody terms”…… it makes the case for americans to start sniping mexicans and others at the border….invaders
U.S. Constitution – cant find anywhere that immigration is a right……so, immigration is not a tenet of individial rights nor a constitutional law for this country……it is a hose bib that legally can be completely shut off!
Fact: 14th Amendment feals with “in custody terms”…….
HOJ desires ZERO immigration numbers going forward……let these folks fix their own shit hole countries and stop coming to America making it more of a shithole…….
It aint skin, or curly hair, or fucked up religions…..its quality of people and obviously everywhere on the planet, it is fucked up….. And the more America let’s the shits from the shithole countries come here the more America delves into becoming a shithole itself……. Immigration is not the same as 200 years ago…… The people coming to America 200 years ago did so for vastly different reasons and under vastly different context and pretenses…… And shared a very similar culture…… A culture of being law abiding citizens and showing that by following a process that they were putting their honor on the line…… The southern shits have no honor…..
Why do you think the battle is the Border…… It’s all about not allowing the 14th Amendment to become involved in the situation……
Immigrants are proving a high IQ at showing they are the best at being liars and cheating a system……. The very characteristics that should de-qualify the shits from becoming a citizen……
Nothing in the world says anybody has to like anybody else or has to accept anybody else and certainly on a macro level scale with countries it applies……

As a kid didn’t understand what the fuck was going on…..

Prez Shithead is not even the problem. Prez Shithead is just a symptom; a big enough symptom that even the most blind doctor ought to finally be forced to acknowledge the sickness.
The problem is the behavior of “civilized” humanity, as represented by America and its fellow capitalist nations. Humanity still abides power/money differentials beyond what the species can deal with, and still does not punish greed by the wealthy/powerful (money is just a flexible-use version of power that can be preserved over time).
Humanity allows a fraudulent economics to remain legal, one which pretends that resources are free except for the cost of gathering them. Everyone knows this. Most people I’ve met are against it. Yet it continues. This isn’t even a discussion at the level of capitalism vs alternatives; it is at the level of “honest capitalism” vs fraud.
It continues, as best as I can tell, and despite the enormous good in most people, because no one knows how to stop the most evil among us from accumulating the most power and money. While many, many people are able to lead lives of decency, we are all collectively incapable of stopping the destruction of the world.
What does it mean to be kind to your neighbor in a world where your society is creating a wave of extinctions? What would it have meant to have been polite to others on the train to the death camps? Probably the same.
The current situation, by any honest definition of violence, is violent far beyond anything else in human history. And yet the violence that would be involved in altering the situation remains abhorrent to most.

Immigration- DACA, ETC……
If the deal is:
1) Build a wall the whole stretch
2) legalize all illegals not criminals above and beyond status
3) Deport the rest cuz their shitholes from shithole countries
4) Zero new immigration for the next 25 years……..(student visas, family visa visitation, medical visa only)
5) After 25 years, immigration shall be restricted to no more than 1000 new application filings per year, first come, first serve……and no more than 1000 approvals for right of entry shall occur in any single calendar year…….
That is the deal to make!
In exchange for admission, the penalty is Zero for 25…….
DACA illegals are not deported, continue through process…..

@W.o.P. – I’m sure you understand that whatever Eric’s definition is, it probably won’t include such attributes as “competent” or “keen minded.”
I think he probably sees T.C. the way I do. In Rusty’s post T.C. rambled off in ways that indicate how shallow his thinking truly is. It reminds me of a website I came across a day or two ago that railed on the “liberal mainstream media” that did not raise hell when then president Obama said that same sort of thing.
I wondered about that, so I read further. Turns out that Obama was referring to Libya after things heated up during the demonstrations that were taking place in Muslim countries a few years ago. Obama said that Libya is a mess. That’s right, he said “Libya is a mess.”
I get confused when I try to connect those dots. I have the same problem trying to understand how a news person like T.C. can seriously write out or say what he did to somehow mitigate what our Commander in Stupidity said at that meeting.
I wasn’t at the meeting, but I’m sure that, in this case, Senator Durbin is not lying. I think that everyone with a brain understands that he said it. Is it that difficult to understand that what T.C. said has absolutely nothing to do with what happened?
January 15, 2018 at 1:57 pm
W.o.P.
I see. Tucker Carlson is “incompetent” and not “keen minded” but you, Erik, Rusty, and the Henchman are all knowing critical thinkers! I get it now.
There are a couple points I’d like to make. Sen Tom Cotton was in that meeting and I would believe him over Dick Durbin any day of the week, month or year. Dick Durbin’s credibility is and has been in the past lacking to say the least, my opinion.
This was a closed meeting with a few politicians, presumably professionals. In this meeting if the President did say what was attributed by Durbin, or something in the ballpark, so what? Do you really think politicians, grown men in general,don’t say words like “shit” when they get together? Get real, be honest.
I grew up in Eureka and I now refer to it as a “shithole”. Eureka certainly isn’t the city it was 30 years ago. I’ve referred to Detroit as a “shithole”. And I am certain I’m not the Lone Ranger on this. This was a planned event by Durbin and his buddies to create some kind of outrage! Things aren’t looking too well for the Dem’s, hard core lefties. The Dem’s need something to deflect other issues, like ………. the economy is going great guns. You can spin it all you want but in the end its just spin. The stock market is on fire, as you know, unemployment rates are down. Bottom line none of the Dem’s voted for the tax cuts and ……….. my oh my they look pretty stupid. Pelosi’s comments about “crumbs” just make things look worse for the Democratic Party.
And last. Dick Durbin is just a POS tattletale politician, my opinion. As soon as the meeting was over he leaks “details” about the meeting. Neither you, me, or the Henchman know if what Durbin leaked was the truth, partial truth, an embellishment, or a fabrication. It’s funny when I see that phony POS CNN anchor act like he’s crying over the use of the “vulgar” term shithole in a closed door meeting between a group of adults. You guys can act all outraged and offended but I think its mostly an act. Get over it.

W.o.P. – Tom Cotton did the ol’, I can neither confirm nor deny that he said anything of that nature. That statement was carefully crafted.
You can go ahead and disbelieve Senator Durbin because you know him to be a piece of shit, and believe Senator Cotton who started his official statement with, “I do not recall …”
Please do not think for one moment that I object to this because he used the word, “shithole.” I mean, what the fuck? You do understand the word, “context,” don’t you?
Your glowing reports of our healthy and robust economy are gratifying. Please dig little deeper into what you are seeing before you actually find somebody to thank.

Cotton changed his story. First before Trump denied it, Cotton said he couldn’t remember if Trump had said “shithole” or not. Then, after Trump denied it, suddenly Cotton conveniently “remembered” — so well that now he’s totally sure Trump didn’t say it! Riiiiiiiiiight.
Meanwhile Durbin didn’t change his story. And Lindsay Graham, who was also in the meeting, told colleagues, including Jeff Flake, that Trump said it. And Graham confirmed the overall nature of the remarks was accurately reported by the Post. And has now reiterated that he stands by that.
So on the one hand you have the word of a pathological liar like Trump, and the conflicting, changing accounts of flip-floppin’ Cotton. And on the other hand you have the word of Durbin and Graham and Flake, a Democrat and two Republicans who haven’t changed their stories.
But sure, believe the pathological liar and the guy who can’t remember and then suddenly does. Because that makes sense.

The Jerk and his stooges aren’t the most accomplished liars. When the Wolf book hit the news the white house claimed it was fraud and fiction. If it was not true why the attack on Bannon? There’s not room enough here to list all the lies the Jerk has told since he first started running .The fact that the Jerk is pulling other republicans down into his mud puddle can’t be good for the party’s prospects.

When I was a kid I loved comic books like most boys do. But whereas other boys like the super heroes and war stories, I like Plastic Man, Uncle Scrooge, Little Lulu, and Tarzan. Every other issue had the inset story of the Brothers of the Spear and I think they had an effect on me as I almost always had my best friends be non-white people. Mexican, Native American, so I learned to identify with their concerns at an early age. America is an experiment in democratic governing of people from a huge variety of nationalities and cultures. It is un-American in my view to try to whip up race and culture wars so as to make the peaceful mixing together of so many different people that much harder. Still, it’s a minor miracle more violence doesn’t happen in America between people of differing races and nationalities. We have to end European-American racism, that’s the bottom line. We’ll be the minority in America soon enough and now’s the time to lay down good roots of common ground for all of us, not just us, henchman of just us.
