Seemingly the left and the drive by media haven't figured out that when you use terms like racist indiscriminatingly-it loses the power the word deserves.
Even if you live your life without a shred of racism, you can now be called racist for not taking an active role (whatever that is) against it. I suppose now if you don't march, or contribute $, or vote Democratic-you're racist!

JCMan8 must be a real treat to hang out with a the Klan rallies. We'll have to check back in on this topic in 10 years to ask how JCMan8 and his buddies feel being on the wrong side of history.

Bannon is a great hire. Mainstream media is scared to death of him because he expertly exposes their lies, so they've begun their typical playbook of throwing their nasty labels at him: racist, bigot, white supremacist, etc. Not to mention he's not new; he was the CEO of Trump's campaign and proved his worth. The smears didn't work with Trump and won't work now. Too bad, so sad!

Wow, Pebble recovered after the crushing blow on Nov 9. And he's back to his usual babble - racist this, racist that... No lessons learned, nada.
Still looking at the world through the lens of racism. It is more complex than that.

You mean, the same media that gave him billions in free publicity? Quote: Despite their relentless smear campaign against him, Trump received a higher share of all minority voters than Romney did. lol 80% of blacks voted for Clinton 65% of Hispanics voted for Clinton 87% of AAPIs voted for Clinton Yes, this was not as stunning as Obama's 2012 numbers, but no Republican should be happy with how badly they are losing minority votes. And of course, it remains to be seen whether upcoming immigration policy will, for example, further drive minorities away from the Republican party. Quote: Despite the fabricated accusations of sexual assault Like his own admission of grabbing women? Quote: more white women voted for Trump than Hillary H'm, let's take a closer look. Clinton beat Trump among all women by 12%. Clinton beat Trump among white college-educated women by 6% Where Trump cleaned up was among white non-college educated women (32%) Quote: It is abundantly clear that the media tried to paint a picture of him as some monster who offends women and minorities, but these groups rejected this false narrative. Or, most Republican women ignored his misdeeds out of partisan loyalty -- pretty much the same reason why many Democratic women ignored Bill Clinton's misdeeds while in office. Quote: He has a mandate and will be using it. And since the media used up all their credibility during the election, what they say doesn't matter. lol I hope that mantra works for you, because you're going to need it a lot over the next 4 years. Despite your fever dream that this was a death blow to the media, the reality is quite different. Again, TV news ratings were at all-time highs, including several networks you presumably despise, and there is no sign that people are abandoning them in droves. Meanwhile, faith in most major institutions -- Congress, big businesses, the criminal justice system, unions, banks, schools, SCOTUS, presidency, organized religion -- has been falling for years. The media is merely one of many institutions getting hammered. And I see no indication that a few years of Trump will improve the standing of either Congress or the presidency.....

Trump spent half as much money per vote than crooked Hillary did-and Wall Street funded her supporting SuperPacs by a gigantic amount. If those $ were even close the popular vote would've been huuuuuuuuuge for Trump. I don't the stats in front of me, but the swing since 2009 towards Republicans in the Senate, House, governorships, and state legislatures is, again, huuuuuuuuge. And the way they're acting after the election just shows how tone deaf they still are.

Trump has a mandate given the results I posted and the tone of the media.
Despite their relentless smear campaign against him, Trump received a higher share of all minority voters than Romney did. Despite the fabricated accusations of sexual assault, more white women voted for Trump than Hillary (and Hillary received less % of the overall female vote than Obama did in 2012). It is abundantly clear that the media tried to paint a picture of him as some monster who offends women and minorities, but these groups rejected this false narrative. He has a mandate and will be using it. And since the media used up all their credibility during the election, what they say doesn't matter. There's a reason the public trust in the mainstream media is at an all time low.

In terms of electoral results, sure. In terms of a mandate? Nope. Not at all. If Trump had won the popular vote by 10 points, he'd unquestionably have a mandate. 5%, not so much. 2%, no. -1%? Absolutely not. In terms of the Senate, the Republicans lost 2 seats, and have almost the smallest majority possible -- currently 51 seats, most likely 52 after the LA runoff. Victory, sure. Mandate? Not even close. So while the change in political control is significant, it would be a huge mistake to conflate this with a popular mandate, or assume that 3/4 of the US has now suddenly swung to the right. The reality is that the US is still very closely split, as it has been for decades.

Again... lol We have no idea what he will and won't do. Among other factors.... - He has zero public service record - He has no experience dealing with a legislature (friendly or otherwise) - We have no idea what will actually get through Congress - He has flip-flopped on almost every policy he's ever touted - We have no idea how he will react if his policy proposal winds up being rejected by a big chunk of the US population (who will be negatively affected by cutting federal funds) - We have no idea how Senators will react if cutting funds to major cities in their districts does not go over well - He's already softening on a variety of "promises" - Trump is fundamentally unpredictable Until we see what he actually does, it is a huge mistake to treat his promises as though they are done deals. Quote: Ensuring the states enforce federal law is not "shafting" them, it's making them behave like adults. The threat is to cut off federal funding for programs unrelated to immigration enforcement. It's hard to spin that as anything other than trying to screw cities as a pressure tactic. And no, the definition of "behaving like adults" is not "doing exactly what JCMan8 demands." Quote: Pointing to the popular vote is completely irrelevant, as has already been explained. Good grief. I'm not saying "Trump was not elected in accordance with the rules of the system." What I'm saying is that he does not have a mandate. And no, speculations that he would have done better if the structure was different tells us nothing about the real world -- where the results tell us that half the voters did not want him in office. Further, the idea that a close election proves that everyone has rejected the press is beyond absurd. News media had a bonanza with the election, including outlets like Fox, CNN and MSNBC hitting record ratings. In the same way that people did not permanently abandon Fox after the 2008 and 2012 elections, most people's views of the media have not actually changed much. Oh, and nj.com is part of the left-wing media conspiracy? lol Quote: And nice attempt to defend our deceitful media. By pointing out the facts about what they actually wrote? Quote: Everyone knows full well that Fulop is only talking about illegal immigrants (not "undocumented," illegal). Yes, that includes the authors of the article, who pointed that out IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH of the article. And again, they explicitly used the term "undocumented immigrants" in reference to Baraka's continued policy. Yes, I know, all these pesky facts are so inconvenient, aren't they?

That may be true, but landslide refers to the end score. Even if he lost the states you say, Hillary only would have had a very narrow victory. The final score was 306 to 232. If you disagree with landslide, you could say decisive victory, but that's about as far as you can go. Note that when I refer to landslide, I am also talking about the total election results, which saw Republicans gain control of the presidency, keep control of the House and the Senate, and soon the SCOTUS. Pointing to the irrelevant popular vote means nothing. Additionally, the three Republican senator candidates who publicly distanced themselves from Trump all lost. Trump has received a broad mandate from these results and will be carrying it out, whether the media (or "progressives") likes it or not. And I notice you shifted away from their deceitful use of the term "immigrants" in the headline because there is no defense.

I know you're mostly trolling and will never back down on your blind support, but your continued claims that this was a landslide are getting tiresome. He flipped a couple key states. Donald Trump owes his victory in the Electoral College to the three states he won by the smallest number of votes: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So it's fair to say that the 2016 presidential election was decided by about 100,000 votes out of more than 120 million ballots cast. According to the latest tallies, Trump won Pennsylvania by 1.1 percentage points (68,236 votes), Wisconsin by 0.9 points (27,257 votes), Michigan by 0.2 points (11,837 votes). If Clinton had won all three states, she would have won the Electoral College 278 to 260. She fell short in all three, of course, and that's why we are now getting accustomed to the reality of President-elect Donald J. Trump.

Dolomiti, Trump made a promise to end the practice of sanctuary cities and this is what he will do. Ensuring the states enforce federal law is not "shafting" them, it's making them behave like adults.
Pointing to the popular vote is completely irrelevant, as has already been explained. The only metric that counts is the Electoral College, which was a landslide. Even the liberal Washington Post debunked your little theory. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/th ... -a-popular-vote-election/ And nice attempt to defend our deceitful media. Everyone knows full well that Fulop is only talking about illegal immigrants (not "undocumented," illegal). There is zero reason to write a headline that says "immigrants" except to intentionally stir up fear among legal immigrants. It's well known that many people just read the headline in passing. And this deceit is commonly practiced in our mass media. I suspect the reason for conflating illegal immigrants with all immigrants is because liberals know their position is indefensible. They can't admit they embrace and reward lawlessness, so they have to lie about it. Luckily, the voters rejected them, and the problem is well on its way to being corrected.

1) JCMan8 vs JCMan24? That's gonna get confusing. One or both of you have to change your nick. 2) You expect Trump to live up to his campaign promises? lol 3) The constitutionality of the method adopted by sanctuary cities is fairly solid. 3a) We should note that those who normally protect "states rights" and seek to limit federalism, who then want the federal government to impose its will on local governments, are being hypocrites. Not that this will stop the Republicans from actually being hypocrites, but it's worth mentioning. 4) While Republicans already do poorly in urban areas, they aren't going to improve their standing by shafting most of the biggest cities in the US. 5) You seem to put an awful lot of weight on the voters -- while ignoring that a) the majority of Americans did not in fact vote for Trump, and b) the majority of Americans who live in those cities didn't vote for him either. I.e. proclaiming a democratic mandate, when your candidate doesn't actually have one, and is in office because of undemocratic aspects of the system? That doesn't fly. 5a) Not only does the article say right in the first paragraph that we're talking about undocumented immigrants, that term is also in headlines about the topic written by the same media outlet, one day earlier: http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/201 ... documented_residents.html So, spare us your fauxrage over problems that don't exist in the first place.

The voters have woken up to the continued lies and smears that are spewed out of the left and the mass media.
Look no further than the title of this article (and thread). Fulop is welcoming to "immigrants." We all know full well that "immigrants" aren't the issue, illegal immigrants are. So they aren't fooling anyone yet they continue to lie and deceive, only hurting their credibility further in the eyes of everyone who isn't part of their echo chambers. Quote:

Trump loves immigrants, so I don't get Fulop's screed. He, like the majority of citizens, oppose illegal immigrants. He wouldn't be a very good POTUS if he didn't believe in the rule of our laws. And as we've seen in a zillion video shares on social media, his stance on illegal immigration was mirrored by Bill and Hillary Clinton-except they weren't called 'racist' for saying the exact same thing!
