honestly if you call trump anything other than his actual name I immediately start discounting your opinion no matter how much I otherwise agree with you.
calling him “drumpf” or “45” or whatever other bullshit you’ve come up with doesn’t like, hurt the trump brand or hurt his feelings in any meaningful way. you’re just being an idiot.

This is a drawing I finished today [July 20, 2017] to represent the kind of president we could have (if he was a sane individual, of course) but we just don’t for various reasons. If you are a Trump supporter you aren’t allowed to interact with this post. […]

Have we reached Maximum Trump?

I dare to say that no, we have not!

Total saturation of the airwaves has not been achieved.  Somewhere out there, there continue to be TV broadcasts which contain NO MENTION of Donald J. Trump, the first Meme-American President of the United States of America.

This will not do.

The amount of Trump must be increased.

Projections under the previous Trump First Initiative showed that merely amplifying the existing Trump will not do due to local radio spectrum saturation, supported by a number of field tests.  It was for this reason that the Trump First Initiative was scrapped.

My colleagues in the Mecha-Bannonite program were pessimistic and skeptical after the cancellation of Trump First.  They said no increase in the memetic saturation of Trump was possible.

But I have proved them wrong!

I have developed new mathematical models which prove that further meme propagation is possible, with only a slight alteration of the meme waveform band.

Based on heuristical data gathered from pools of eligible voters, I have used a neural network to model the meme space of possible Trumpforms in order to achieve greater propagation, and thus memetic saturation.

All that is required to more than quintuple current saturation of the memespace is the creation of seven additional trumpforms, similar to the ones constructed by computer render above.

Then, finally, all mention of politicians other than Trump can be completely erased from broadcast journalism, allowing our organization to progress towards Phase 2 of Operation Meteor 2020.

Statement from Pentagon Spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis on U.S. strike in Syria
collapsedsquid

Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line.  U.S. military planners took precautions to minimize risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield.

We are assessing the results of the strike.  Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat Airfield, reducing the Syrian Government’s ability to deliver chemical weapons.  The use of chemical weapons against innocent people will not be tolerated.

Hmn…

In her first interview since her stunning presidential election defeat by Republican rival Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton on Thursday called for the United States to bomb Syrian air fields.

…

Asked whether she now believes that failing to take a tougher stand against Syria was her worst foreign policy mistake as secretary of state under President Barack Obama, Clinton said she favored more aggressive action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

“I think we should have been more willing to confront Assad,” Clinton said in the interview, conducted by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.

“I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them.”

Clinton noted that she had advocated for a no-fly zone in Syria after leaving government, something that Obama opposed.

So, which timeline doesn’t result in this attack?  And did we perhaps luck out on this one, in that Trump merely picked vehicles located at only one facility to strike?

Although based on Russian reactions my temporary spike in estimated risk of nuclear war has subsided.

it’s just two-dimensional chess, played for position

mitigatedchaos

This makes sense if you assume the goal was to establish the credibility of future military threats, which is reasonable 2D international relations chess.  Previous Trump strategies (gambits?) have involved relatively extreme opening offers followed by negotiating down to something more in line with the original plan.

We won’t know if the Trump Presidency was properly bad until later.  The Left/Libs cannot be trusted to be honest in their criticisms, or consistent.  They’ll attack using whatever they can - they even btched about him eating steak “wrong”.  

If you get swamped with maximal criticism no matter what, you might as well just ignore the criticism and go with your own conscience.  

It isn’t that I think he’s great.  It’s that you can’t trust people who were completely blindsided, and who are ideologically pre-committed to opposition, to accurately evaluate the situation.  You wouldn’t trust most right-wing pundits on Obama, after all.

Trump bowled over the mainstream Republicans because he had three core issues - less trade, less (stupid) war, less immigration.  He will be judged by whether he meets those goals, not left-wing goals about maximizing undefinable “diversity”.

There is a strong correlation between immigration—particularly illegal immigration—and wages.  This should be obvious to anyone familiar with the fundamental principle of supply and demand: more supply (workers) means lower prices (wages), and vice versa.

Despite the fact that this correlation between immigration and wages is well-documented, it is not obvious to many liberal economists, who see immigration as an unfettered economic benefit.  The evidence suggests otherwise, including a new data reported by Fox.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, more than 56% of America’s developers are reporting labor shortages, which is forcing them to increases wages and improve working conditions to attract new talent.

In fact, according to Ted Wilson of Residential Strategies Inc. construction costs have risen by 30% this year—the majority of which is due to higher wages and increased overtime pay.  That is, companies are being forced to hire American workers, and pay wages at fair market value.

Why?

Because President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration is preventing them from hiring illegal aliens, who undercut the labor market, shortchanging American workers.  The impact of this (while often ignored) is significant.

According to Stan Market, CEO of Texas’ Marek, “half of the workers in construction in Texas are undocumented.”

He goes on to say that many of them are leaving Texas, either to find refuge in sanctuary cities and states, and “many of them are going back to Mexico.”

This is good news for American workers, who have been hammered in recent decades.  In fact, real wages have not risen for the median American worker since 1973, in part because of the deflationary effects of illegal immigration.

And just to be clear, this is not an isolated event—wages will rise in tandem with deportations and other labor restrictions (such as if, and when, the RAISE Act becomes law).

We know this because it’s happening elsewhere already.  For example, the restriction of temporary work visas in Maine earlier this year led to higher wages, better working conditions, and lower unemployment—all good for the average American citizen.

Look, I know you guys all think this is evil.  And it’s probably not preferable to ending jus soli and issuing more legitimate agricultural visas/etc.

But despite all the people on Facebook talking about how the guy is a nightmare monster from the darkest dreams of the Alt Right come to life, I’m telling you right now that he has a non-trivial chance of re-election unless the Democrats get their shit together.

I pegged it at 50% earlier, reduced it to 40%, but it isn’t a 10% chance or less.

I know he’s the president

ileneindumbo

but he lies. He never tells the truth. So, why do newspapers put everything he says in the headlines?  It’s not true.  We know it’s not true and even if some thing true was accidentally said, how would we know?

OP kind of has a point though. Trump plays the media like puppets, and they just go along with it like absolute saps.

They don’t care about the country, so all that’s left is ratings. And boy golly gee does Mr. Trump-san bring in the ratings.

Looking to 2020, there’s only one way Trump can surely win from here and that’s a Zuckerberg/Chelsea Clinton runoff for the Democratic nomination.

The good news is I’m 60% sure something close to this will happen because there’s only one party as bad at playing its hand as the GOP and that’s the Democrats.

mitigatedchaos

I mean, give it some time and we’ll see.  I’m still forecasting a 50% chance of reelection.

But yeah, the Democrats are almost that dumb.

I’m not sure whether we’ll see an increase in it under the Trump Administration.

Nationalism and Social Centrism are both more defensible than Bush and Obama-era American Conservatism, which is part of why we’re seeing them rise, although they’re not calling it Social Centrism yet.  A less jingoistic Nationalism is also a better counter to the Globalism popular among the Left, more capable of exploiting the holes in modern Multiculturalism that have been made vulnerable by the increased stress on the system, but it seemed that for a long time the Jingoism was all we got.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
