Fuck this guy. He’s just pissed because no one came to his GI Joe-themed birthday party.
Fuck up, wonder if mega happy. Lot of my fucking racist neighbors voted for him because he was going get rid of the illegals. Yet there still here, not single one worried. Because he seems focused only on blue states. It's like he just wants a civil war to hold power not to acutely get rid of illegals.
Trump is unprincipled. He simply doesn't have convictions beyond selfish gain. The good news is he doesn't truly hate anyone. But he also doesn't love anyone. He has no true sense of worth at all. He is completely ambivalent to all things with one major exception. He is remorselessly opposed to anyone who doesn't contribute to his personal aggrandizement or who stands in direct opposition to his ego. He doesn't give a shit about immigrants "ruining America", because he doesn't give a shit about America in the first place. He doesn't give a shit about crime because it doesn't effect him directly. He doesn't care about jobs because he's never had one and doesn't understand the point. He just follows his nose like Tucan Sam, but instead of fruity cereal, it's prestige he covets. And he's so sick, that becoming president of the United States isn't even enough. Nothing is enough. His sense of self esteem is so diminished and corrupted that he would literally see the earth destoyed if it meant that he felt important for the brief final moments. I truly believe that his whole raison d'être and subsequent global fuckery can be traced to that one single moment that Obama got a laugh at his expense. This is just how petty he really is, and how fucked we really are.
What an unfathomable waste he is.
Just such a shame to the entire universe that he has ever even existed in the first place.

With you all the way. Someday this will be studied as a turning point in world history:

the actual illegals, he actually stop targeting farms, restuarants,,,,etc. where most of the bulk of undocumented are. the illegimate ones are going to stay hidden, so less likely to even find said illegal, hes going after legal ones.
He's not going to win the coming civil war, it won't even be a very long one this time
I don't know about that. After all he has the US military on his side.
As fucked as we are as a country, a lot of soldiers won't have the nerve to fire on civilians
Some will, but the disgust from their comrades will make the disgusted even more certain to fight fascism
also pissed his parade wasnt distracting enough from the protest news. we havnt forgotten the tariffs, bbb either.
Don’t forget being pissy his deportation numbers are lower than Bidens.
Almost like he wants to engineer a conflict he can use to grab more power and attack his enemies (political players, not "the little people" who he gives no shits about).
Page 555 of the playbook.
He doesn't remember the last time his kind tried this...
He isn't even trying to hide it.
It's blatantly political in nature - he is directly targeting blue states in the union. Just damn.
And considering the lawmakers who were gunned down this weekend, it's in pretty horrible taste. But I guess that's a given in all matters concerning him.
Yes he isn't trying to hide it because he is currently untouchable thanks to a traitorous house and senate
It's time for us to drag them into the streets ourselves, nothing else is going to stop this rising fascism.
Watch me get banned again for saying this
Hey, buddy. Suck our collective dicks.
Kill ICE
A terrorist targets his own country.
No. They will close down, cut their losses and do something else. While letting everything they grew rot on the ground.
How? He's attacking minimum wage jobs.
In florida years ago, when e-verify was being pushed, and tomato farm operations had to verify social security numbers for their employees, they didnt start paying legal/competitive wages- they just left tomatoes on the vines to rot - and then took subsidies and tax breaks for operating those farms at a loss. some agriculture companies just got out of the tomato business altogether.
employers at the largest levels don't care about construction, or farming or whatever- they care about profit. the investors don't care about the work their companies perform- if a sector becomes significantly less profitable because of a lack of immigrant workers, they don't just take a hit to their profits and move on, they pull their investments and find another business to invest in. there will plainly be less construction firms, less farms, less local restaurants able to compete with the chains.
the money in this economy is hoarded by the upper class- they can control how businesses operate, and because the rest of us have limited buying power, our choices are dictated more by what we can afford than what we need or want. demand in this economy has power, but it is easily overwhelmed by control of the supply by purely profit motivated investors.
they dont want to make less money selling higher priced tomatoes, and at the same time, we dont have the available income to budget for higher priced tomatoes, from the largest or smaller farms, and will just shift spending to other cheap food we can afford in our budgets. lots of businesses will close but the investors- who most elected officials serve- will just invest elsewhere, which is why they don't care about the impact on the rest of us. large operations will gobble up the failing smaller ones, consumer options will continue to shrink, and the people we've been exploiting for their labor will lose their source of income.
there will be no industry-wide rise in low wages, just diminishing supply. eventually the tariffs will go, and then supply will be replaced by (even cheaper) foreign production.
Unfortunately, smaller farmers are nearly extinct due to fed refusal to enforce anti-trust law and Bork (may he rest in piss) ruling that consolidation magically improved the customer experience.
In short, no.
The profit motive does not allow for this.
There is a reason red states are trying to choose back child labor laws.
In all honesty, this will probably result in more prison labor and a greater profit motive to lock up more people.
I didn't downvote you but in general it's just going to kill industries and make shit more expensive.
