Thom's Blog Is On the Move
By webmaster
Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.
So, when will we discuss DWS & IT, or any issues on the left?
They put Hillary up as the alternative....If you read then you know what she is.
She is the one who will teach you everything is someone elses fault.
Unrelated: The Fascists currently inflating the stock market with buy backs etc. are justifying the 1929 like exuberance by pointing to potential legislation giving massive tax cuts to Corporate America. Well we all know what a lie this is....Corporate America already pays on average one of the lowest effective tax rates in the world. Trump's cut still isn't enough to even come near this already low rate and the Fascists damn well know it. Please warn any hard working citizen you know to move their 401K asap.

Sorry I take.... Republicans really just care about one thing: Making America White Again....
as a blanket statment.
I suspect they care about more than one thing....and not even most want America to be white again... athough SOME do.. Perhaps they just don't want to be told what they can or cannot say, think, or feel, and I suspect most folks here feel the same way.
Careful wording is important.
How does one look at people and only see skin color?
Was America white to begin with?
The malevolence that still exists towards Americas first black president is still there even though he has gone
America, generally as a nation, appears to have an issue with humans that are not white
Guessing, there are probably less than 1 in 6 white people on the planet
Need to get over it then don't we!
How does one vote for a racist and then profess not to be one?
@14 Hot Coffee
Way to go!!! Deepspace is a washed up lefty blow hard. He writes well but says nothing. He also dislikes anyone who thinks different than he does and calls them names. You nailed him, and probably excited him watch for his ridiculous come back:)
I agree reguarding Policy makers...however I don't believe we would be any better off if Hillary was the liar in chief.
Funny thing regarding "making America white again"....I read the blog as if Thom is referring to Teapublican policy makers, "congress." In that comprehensive context Thom is correct. It's not a blanket statement meant to encompass all Teapublicans.
Deepspace is spot on too....these policy makers are in power because a large number of Teaublican voters refuse to admit that they have been lied to....and or are liars themselves.
Perfecty said!
Ou812,
He writes well, but there is no truth in what is said.
GOOD BAD OR UGLY I PREFER THE TRUTH.
Daca kids got a bad rap...however I can't imagine taking my children to another country when small and Demanding the Country change to suit my preferences.
I would do better to try to change my own Country.
If I went to another Country I would expect I would have to live by their laws or leave.
That being said I believe in the end DACA.s will be allowed to stay, and that's fine with me. This mess really isn't their fault.
deepspace,
I've been a democrat for over 50 years if you lie about me that is what's wrong with you...not me. If you will lie about me, whom you don't know, and call me the liar....you prove my point. So, why would you do that?
" exonerates neither the huge base of bigots who love the bigotry of Trump"
and you know this how? Because Don Lemon said so?
If you could get past the DEM & REPUB thing you might might realise we're Americans first.
Perhaps as you deal with the Trump situation you might consider how the next Dem president will be dealt with....you reap what you sow.
There are so many issues that need to be dealt with. Grow up!
Thanks I dont have your way of putting my thoughts into words.
Spot on.
Ou812 and HotCoffee:
Nice try at flipping the truth, but Democrats are not the ones who belong to a party that advocates deporting for no good reason almost a million young, productive, innocent Americans with brown skin to strange lands and deadly fates.
Again, Republicans as a whole are incapable of admitting their moral paucity on this issue. Their collective silence is deafening. A few scattered statements of empty outrage by "a few [emphasis mine] Republicans that love people of all colors" exonerates neither the huge base of bigots who love the bigotry of Trump the Bigot nor the reliable silent majority of hypocrites who sit on their dead asses slaved to bigoted Fux News, say nothing, and vote for bigots and racist policies every time. Sure, being a Republican doesn't necessarily mean you are a bigot, but if you are a bigot, you most likely are a Republican. Why is that?
Go ahead, lie your ass off, but no one here is buying them apples except your fellow liars and the politically naive. "I've been a Democrat for over 50 years..." Yeah right, and I've been a perfect saint for over 50 years.
I agree with MLK it's not the color of your skin but the content of your character.
PoC's born here are citizens.
That being said California cannot take in 3 billion struggling people around the world if it wants to or not.
Jerry Brown keeps telling us we do not have water, Think drought, we are asked all the time not to use the fragile grid, PG&E can't keep up, as in last week with the heatwave.
If we don't have resources we don't have them...If we do have them we've been lied to just to raise rates.
Yet good old Jerry says we can take in millions more people. Really?
Supossedly the banks stole our homes due to over building houses ( think Bubble ) that now we don't have enough of ( think homeless ).
We sure are in sad shape for such brilliant politicans ( Think Dem & Repub. )
Deport all of them, or send them all to California where most of them live anyway. Then rename California to Mexifornia. If the dreamers had problems dreaming in Mexico, there are pills one can take. This problem should have never happened to begin with. Obama and the DEmocrats want to save their voting base. It is not about race. It is about saving America for legal Americans to have jobs.
If all these people get deported, Trump will be as popular as that detective that tried to arrest that nurse. He won't let that happen.
Gee, as a PoC myself born and raised in the U.S., I used to daydream being deported to Japan...I have a feeling it may happen now
Thanks.
So glad I'm not the only one that thinks what's going on is unbeliveable!
Really Thom, 60 million or so folks and every single one of them "really just care about one thing: Making America White Again" are you sure? Could you be falsely accusing just a few folks? Maybe?
Well I know a few Republicans that love people of all colors.
I also know of mixed race couples that voted for Trump.
Please try to stay with truth.
What a bunch of Racist we have here. Hot Coffee you're right. All these washed up lefties see is color. They only want the issue, they don't want to solve the problem. It's really discusting. Let's see how many more racist post are written here, and how many solutions. By the way a person who is born in this country is automatically an American citizen no matter where his parents are from.
Stop labeling people! I've been a Democrat for over 50 years but I'm really getting fed up.
All Democrats are not one way and all Republicans another. Painting people with the labels you use only causes more fustration and division.
I remember an old saying...what you accuse others of, you are yourself.
Face facts...Trump won because even Dems couldn't stand anymore of Hillary's corruption.
Thom...instead of jumping on the bandwagon and insulting 1/2 of the population
try thinking of ideas that will help the country....this is not suposed to be a contest of which 1/2 of the counrty can destroy the other 1/2. Starting a civil war will not be a feather in your cap.
I think there is more to it than just making America White. Republicans assume that Whites are basically Republican and people of color are basically Democratic. By deporting them, the GOP figures it is eliminating competition come the next two very important election cycles. Also, by reducing the number of people (of color) they also reduce the demand for jobs and housing. This means job creating numbers will look good (even when they aren't) and housing left behind is up for grabs (and development contractors turning it into **Luxury** condos and apartments. And by reducing the number of people, it makes the ones remaining easier to deal with when it comes time for the detention camps; people of color who feel they have nothing to lose are more apt to be more difficult to deal with than Whites who are "law abiding" and brainwashed.
