The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

[Tim Steelersfan]

Winning. We told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you, we told you it's not smart having open borders.

The Economist Admits – Wages are up because immigration is down…

Remember the arguments from liberals about how massive immigration, both legal and illegal, was good for the country? Well, a certain publication is now questioning that proposition specifically on the grounds that it appears that the curtailment of immigration during the Trump administration seems to have the effect of raising blue collar wages.

The most surprising thing about this assertion is that the source is one which you would associate with being friendly towards Trump. It was The Economist, which was so hostile toward President Trump that shortly after his inauguration, it featured a cover illustration of Trump tossing a Molotov cocktail.

Now The Economist is stating in its February 13 edition, "Immigration to America is down. Wages are up." This was followed by a question in the subtitle, "Are the two related?"

The body of the article makes a pretty good case that the two are indeed related:

In both 2018 and 2019 nominal wages rose by more than 3%, the fastest growth since before the recession a decade ago. Americans at the bottom of the labour market are doing especially well. In the past year the wages of those without a high-school diploma have risen by nearly 10%. Intriguingly, this has come as America has turned considerably less friendly to immigrants, who are assumed by many to steal jobs from natives and lower the wages of less-educated folk. The two phenomena may be connected—but only for a while.

For the first time in half a century America’s immigrant population appears to be in sustained decline, both in absolute terms and as a share of the total. Net migration to America (ie, the difference between people arriving and people leaving the country) fell to 595,000 in 2019, the lowest in over a decade. This is a profound shift in a country which has often prided itself on its openness to outsiders.

And now some details on the wage increases.

Gordon Hanson of Harvard University suggests that if the impact of reduced low-skill migration is showing up anywhere, it will be in three particular occupations: housekeepers, building-and-grounds maintenance workers, and drywall installers. These occupations rely heavily on immigrant labour and the services they provide cannot be traded internationally. Average wages in those occupations are rising considerably faster than wages in other low-paid jobs, according to calculations by The Economist.

Intriguing evidence also shows up geographically. According to research by William Frey of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, five big metro areas saw absolute declines in their foreign-born populations in 2010-18. Wages in those areas are now rising by 5% a year, according to our calculations. Cleveland, which is in one such area, has pockets of severe poverty but seems to be doing better than before. Many of the city centre’s astonishingly grand buildings are being converted into luxury lofts for millennials.

It is too much to expect The Economist to give credit for the wage boost to Trump but at least there is an acknowledgement that his immigration enforcement policies appear to be working.

Put on the local news this morning and they were going on about how Russia is trying to interfere in the election again. I just laughed. First thought was "Now we're back to this bullshit?" The Russia thing has jumped the shark. Democrats need some new material.

lol

Are you kidding? That's ALL they have left, but WHY would Russia want Trump elected to make America stronger?

They have a COMMUNIST running in Bernie!

BWAhahahahahahahaha


GO BERNIE!

Trump is the most corrupt and unfit person to ever occupy the White House. And his bamboozled base cheers him on, in the hopes their 401k's stay strong.

US and Taliban to sign deal paving way for troop pullout and peace talks

The US and Taliban are due to sign an agreement on 29 February that will lead to the withdrawal of thousands of US troops and the start of comprehensive peace talks between the Afghan government and the insurgents.

The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, announced that the agreement would be signed once there has been a week-long “nationwide reduction in violence”, to start at midnight on Friday, according to an understanding reached by US and Taliban negotiators meeting in Doha.

“Upon a successful implementation of this understanding, signing of the US-Taliban agreement is expected to move forward. We are preparing for the signing to take place on 29 February,” Pompeo said.

“Intra-Afghan negotiations will start soon thereafter, and will build on this fundamental step to deliver a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire and the future political roadmap for Afghanistan.”

As the Trump world turns... each passing week is a testiment to the downfall of this great nation. So sad to see it happening in real time.

This summary of the past 2-3 weeks is on point:

You're beginning to sound like a little *****. Oh...wait. Nevermind, you've consistently been one.

You are the epitome of "Everyone Gets a Medal." You don't know how to lose. Just like your idol, Hillary. Ya'll demanded Trump accept the 2016 election results no matter how they turned out. Yet in never-ending hysterical double standard Libtard fashion, ya'll can't accept the results. You don't know how to lose. You've pointed fingers, called names, leveled accusations and been downright wrong at EVERY turn.

You personally haven't made one accurate prediction since before the 2016 election. Not a single one. You've called vermin of the country American Patriots, because you HOPED they would bring down this President. You literally support a soft coup - any approach, illegal or unethical - that will remove Trump - because you don't know how to lose. You can't be upstanding like we were for 8 years. Nope. You, like the rest of your party, have to be spoiled ******* while the rest of the country suffers you, your emotions, your reactions, and your inability to govern because the lot of you have your panties in a knot.

Your party isn't governing. They are not representing their constituents. They have spent quite near 4 years plotting a Presidential overthrow and bitching, like you have, about this President.

Grow up. Be an American. Accept the loss like a man. Stop acting like a petulant, snively little child.

Spoken as the truth.

Don't worry. Tibs is beginning to realize what we've known for a while. The democrats are a dumpster fire. They have ZERO chance at winning. And now he will take one of his "hiatuses" from the message board because of how bad things are going for his side of the aisle.

There will be another couple of manufactured controversies between now the November and Tibs will come back claiming each will be the "downfall of Trump" or a sign his party ins't as ****** up as it really is. There will be some poll or some "expert" Tibs will quote. Maybe a meme that will make him feel better about himself (by putting down others).

But the fact is we're going to have Trump until January 20, 2025 and there's nothing the democrats and his whining can do to stop it.

Man, you guys are really mean to Tibs.

Can you imagine the comments from our left-of-center brethren if the Bammy economy - land of part-time jobs, falling median income, lowered labor participation, endemically high minority unemployment, falling housing starts, falling housing value, living-with-mommy millenials, middling GDP growth, gloom, despair and misery oh my - was remotely as good as the Trump economy? Seriously, they probably would be unable to respond due to the amount of Bammy-inspired splooge on the keyboard.

Bloomberg campaign hits Sanders over reports of Russian interference

Mike Bloomberg’s campaign seized on reports that Russia has sought to interfere in the 2020 election to boost the campaign of his Democratic presidential rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

“This is a no-brainer for the Russians,” Bloomberg’s campaign tweeted Friday. “They either nominate the weakest candidate to take on their puppet Trump, or they elect a socialist as President.”

Tibs can act like it's just politics, but back in 2016 when he came out for Sanders, that did it for me.

The fact his parents (or grandparents) grew up in eastern block USSR and he still even has a REMOTE interest in Sanders is the most disgusting, misguided, insulting and despicable opinion on this message board in a LONG time for me.

Listen to the guy Tibs. Just for once, imagine Trump didn't exist and LISTEN to Sanders as he sneakily quotes the Communist Manifesto into everything he is proposing. Your grandparents would roll in their graves if you voted for that guy. Not Trump.

No, I said you were being mean to Tibs. You can call me out by name. I promise I won’t lose any sleep over it. I know sarcasm gets lost in the written word, but damn. Tibs dishes out as much as he gets here, and quite frankly if you guys wanna call each other retards for having differing opinions, be my guest. I really don’t care how you treat each other.

If anyone in America trusts the media after this, they are ******* stupid. Russia. Again. Come on. Bernie Sanders is a dirty communist, but whatever he is, the establishment is worse.

So Russia running some fake news is a greater danger to America than say, the Democratic Party rigging the Democratic primary in 2016 and trying to ruin Sanders because they don’t like him. Who is the danger to the American electorate again?

You aren't the only one who's said people are mean to Tibs over time, so I didn't just name you. My response really was intended to the larger group that at times thinks we go a bit too far with him. We have reason, IMHO, as has been described on this and the prior page. And I know you won't lose sleep over it either way.
