Trump's problem, Doka, will mainly be with the bureaucratic slow speed of change, which I sense Trump may take some liberties not only with Congressional law, but common law as well. For example; while his "send them back" rhetoric sounds good, there are processes defined by our laws. So either Trump will have to back off what he is saying and get the law changed, or he will have to trample on the very fabric of what many of us have long wanted .... a government who goes by the laws of the land.
See What Trump Did When He Was Reportedly Told He Didn’t Have Enough Time for the National Anthem At His Rally
“Guess what, we’re gonna do the National Anthem, OK,” Donald Trump told the raucous crowd.
I applaud him for that. I don't think other candidates would have the courage, certainly not Clinton or Bernie.

Reality is - it will take time to accomplish things, we all know that. However, it can be done.

Ask yourself about Pelosi pass this and we can study - read it later. Passed ACA (ObamaCare) and just look at what happened. COSTS up and up to those who were forced to sign up or else. Jobs with more than 50 employees who cut hours back so they did not have to pay so much $$ to ACA rules. Now people doing 2-3 jobs and being counted as 2-3 people with jobs - thus fake unemployment numbers.

We have laws about immigration to this nation. LEGAL immigration. Violated and when ICE locked up criminals what happened. Obama let them loose, and look at the crimes since.
We had set up for a wall to be built, small fences - cut, bulldozed down by illegal vehicles.
We have illegal drugs pouring into this nation some even underground. Sensors can be used to discover them and that too can be stopped. Look at the high costs to our taxpayers, schools that have reported on trying to teach kids with as high as a 120 different languages, COSTS to this nation. TO YOU taxpayer.

CHANGE is needed in this nation. NO more of the same as we've had to deal with since this administration took office.

The insidiousness of the new rules is astounding.

Just for an example, in healthcare we use a lot of forms. Creating these can be time consuming since many times there are national standards that need to be adhered to. For example, in my dept we use screening sheets for Mammograms, MRI and CT Scans (among other forms).

I recently revised all of our CT and MRI screening sheets, and in creating or revising any form, there are a number of groups and committees that need to review and approve the form(s) before they're put into practice, and this takes time because different committees have their own schedules and agendas. And now, so much information is being packed onto forms that there's very little wiggle room for additional information.

So, along comes the Obama administration and their rules on the use of interpreters. "Use of interpreters is required, and all interpreter use needs to be documented". In a particular format. So, the forms that I recently submitted with revisions just had to be revised again to include the "special format interpreter services documentation" piece - which threw of the whole form's formatting.......... Spent days redoing these friggin' forms.

Oh, and then we have staff - "live" on-site interpreters, video interpreters off site, telephone interpreters...... the list goes on. It's a regular cottage industry, AND it's all mandated by law. So, we come to a literal standstill, awaiting interpreters who have these sucking attitudes about how we can't do a THING without them, because, "It's the law...." .

It used to be that we used family, friends, co-workers to help in interpreting. Then the past few years to rules were tightened - somewhat at first and now it's all bureaucratic. There are now "standards". People who grew-up speaking non-English languages cannot simply be used anymore. They must be "credentialed" and approved. You can be perfectly fluent, but, unless you have a piece of paper saying that you are, you're useless as an interpreter.

And, they write down everything - and if you didn't wait for them (as in an emergency), they get pissed - "Excuse me, we couldn't wait for you to get here - trying to save a life here.........", and then they get huffy, starting writing down that the docs didn't (not "couldn't") wait, for their "assistance" and then they start taking names of those involved in the case. Amazing.........

So, I can see where Trump's tapped into certain feelings because, it's not about "bigotry" and "being a hater" - a large measure is resentment that has built-up over the course of decades and generations where the "rights" of new arrivals is being held as a higher standard compared to those who have lived here all their lives and the way things have been done for centuries now.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

Meanwhile, Back At The Stylists' Office

GOP Hair Apparent! Or, Weave It To Donald: The $60,000 Answer?

Image

Ashley Feinberg's investigation into Donald Trump's hair and the shadowy hair-restoration specialist that's responsible for it is truly is one of those procedural stories that only makes more sense with every sentence. In short, though, here's the gist: Donald Trump's hair is basically a wig sewn into the existing follicles.

The last know address of the hair restoration specialist who owns the patent on this technique is the 25th floor of the Trump Tower — the same exact floor as Donald Trump's own office. Of all the explanations for the enigma that is Trump's mane, this is, by far the most sane and believable. FULL STORY

I agree, Cherry, we need to change out of this fantasy world were in. And to some extent some change can occur. But remember, we are a nation of laws with procedures and pathways for change. Unless Trump wants to become the polar-opposite of Obama and fragment the nation further, we need to go by Constitutional law. Going by edicts and Executive Order is more or less saying that you don't need to obey the laws. The reason we are in the situations we're in now is because of lack of respect for the law. Trump can't afford to take on that baggage.

This sums it up.

Q: Why did the Native American stylist put a candle on The Donald's hair?

A: To keep his wig warm!

Donald Trump Has Even Flip-Flopped On Bigotry

This is a great article that outlines Trump's flip flops.
Obama
Abortion
Hillary Clinton
Taxes
Single payer health
Guns
Iraq,
Reagan,
the Bush family…
…and well, everything else, even on bigotry Donald Trump is either insincere now, or was then.

Excerpts:

And in his book The Donald cited his great respect for the diversity of American culture, and proclaims that he has “little appetite” for those who speak hatefully.

“My longtime involvement in promoting some of the biggest boxing events in history has allowed me to become friends with men like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier,” wrote The Donald. “Through them, and through more recent friendships with Puffy Combs, Sammy Sosa, and others, I’ve had the chance to learn firsthand about the diversity of American culture, and it has left me with little appetite for those who hate or preach intolerance.”

“One of our next president’s most important goals must be to induce a greater tolerance for diversity,” he wrote. “The senseless murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming— where an innocent boy was killed because of his sexual orientation — turned my stomach. We must work towards an America where these kinds of hate crimes are unthinkable. There are some issues I don’t want to say much about. I support a woman’s right to choose, for example, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures.”

“Republicans didn’t have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians,” the billionaire developer says.
“The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it,” Trump says. “They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind.”
Romney’s solution of “self deportation” for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.

“He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal,” Trump says. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump notes. “He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”
The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy “to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country,” Trump says.

They all say what they think you want to hear at the moment in order to gain your support.

The bigger problem is there are more stupid sombitches in this nation who buy their crap, hook, like and sinker.

Well, at least the undesirable have a job. LINK TO STORY - Opinion piece based on fact.

Roger Stone - The Daily Caller
A march and demonstration against Trump at Trump Tower essentially fizzled Saturday when only 500 “protesters” of the promised 5000 showed up. Infiltrating the crowd, I learned most were from MoveOn or the Occupy movement. Soap was definitely in short supply in this crowd. Several admitted answering a Craig’s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.


The Establishment on both the left and the right, who want to disenfranchise the millions of Republican voters who support Donald Trump, have blamed the staged riots near Trump rallies on Trump or on Bernie Sanders. That’s like blaming the Russians for the Reichstag Fire. Bernie has little to do with these manufactured protests. This is a Clinton operation, a faux protest.

False flag operations have long been common in politics, but these riots are poisonous to the electorate, intentionally designed to turn violent and stifle free speech.

This free speech-busting goon squad operation is directed by supporters of Hillary Clinton. It is paid for mostly by George Soros and MoveOn.org and pushed by David Brock at Media Matters for America. It’s also funded by reclusive billionaire Jonathan Lewis, who was identified by the Miami New Times as a “mystery man.” He inherited roughly a billion dollars from his father Peter Lewis (founder of Progressive Insurance Company).

Several admitted answering a Craig’s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.

Hillary understands that Trump would lose the votes of certain establishment Republicans if he were the nominee. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter, because of his crossover outreach. In Michigan, Democrats and independents who have lost their jobs because of disastrous globalist trade deals like NAFTA are lining up to vote for Donald.

The Clinton camp figured out that Bernie’s economic voters — not the hard-left voters who will stick with her, but blue-collar folks who have just figured out that they have been left out of the new-world-order economy, are already voting for Trump and Hillary is petrified.

Hillary supports TPP and helped sell us NAFTA. She killed American jobs. It’s her Achilles heel.

Trump is the only candidate who is a populist nationalist, not a globalist like the Clintons and Bushes (and Cruz). This explains both his appeal and the fear the establishment in both parties have of him. Lots of hardworking, blue-collar people across America have lost their jobs since the 1990’s, victims of the globalist policies of the Bushes and Clintons. Those voters, regardless of party affiliation or race, are fed up and gearing up in massive numbers to support Trump.

This is why David Brock’s dirty trick solves two problems at once: it helps discredit Bernie because it appears that his followers are violent; and it also disqualifies Trump for a future vote, by portraying him as a racist or a bigot. The whole thing is a kabuki dance. Blaming Sanders for these riots is like blaming the Communists for the Reichstag fire.

Trump needs to understand that the Clintonistas are doing it — and why. Sanders’ socialism is dangerously wrong, but he is generally forthright, not having the decades of experience in political deceit of the Clinton gang.

Sanders has nothing to gain by sending his Millennial hipster followers to a Trump rally and for the most part, they wouldn’t tear themselves away from their parents’ basements or trendy wine bars. Some Sanders followers will show up, but it’s mostly professional agitators in a well-organized web of ringers. The Chicago Machine of Rahm Emmanuel (a Clinton supporter) generated bodies as well. Ironic because Rahm’s brother Ari is Trump’s agent in the reality TV business.

While historically corrupt Chicago was a prime location to start, these phony demonstrators will show up at other Trump events around the country. Massive civil disobedience is already being planned on the East Coast in April. More mainstream media should report the truth behind them and call them what they are: the Clinton/Soros Riots of 2016.

In the case of Trump, I don't think it's quite that simple. I personally have never seen or heard of a politician that has undergone such a radical ideological change in a relatively short period of time. If he was serious about running for President and doesn't think Hillary can do the job, why wouldn't he run as a Democrat?

Colour me highly suspicious.

Donald Trump has said the same things since day one of his campaign then added more as he has taken up his stance on issues . He has never been a "Politician". What radical ideological change is that? Did not search the news much today, is he having a sex change ? :coolhat:
