Sweeping plans
Aaaand there it is – the Central Park 5 writ large.
Trump says U.S. to ‘permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries’ after DC shooting
[Note the bonehead mistake. You can’t “permanently pause” something. It’s one or the other, not both. A pause is temporary by definition.]
Trump on Thursday announced sweeping plans to tighten immigration rules, including a suspension on migration from “Third World Countries” and cancellation of all federal benefits and subsidies to “noncitizens” in the country.
Of course he did. One, he’s too dense to grasp that one murder doesn’t establish anything about all people from whatever he chooses to consider third world countries. Two, he’s more than evil enough to punish millions or billions of people for an act by one person.
The president said he would also terminate “millions” of admissions under his predecessor Joe Biden and remove “anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country.”
Trump added he plans to end all federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens, “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility,” and deport any foreign national he described as a “public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
What will the test be for people “incapable of loving our Country”? By many measures he’s incapable of loving the US. It’s way too various for his taste.
I’m surprised he just doesn’t come right out and say “Anyone who’s not white.” Put his citizenship aside, and the only thing that would let him stay in the country, under his own criteria, would be his whiteness. He ticks off all the other boxes that would have his ass on the next flight out:
-anyone who is not a net asset to the United States
-is incapable of loving our Country
-undermines domestic tranquility
– a public charge
-security risk
-non-compatible with Western Civilization
By his definition, we probably fit the definition of incompatible with Western Civilization®, since Western Civilization® seems to mean ‘agrees with Trump’ or ‘flatters Trump’. But since we were born here, he’s stuck with us…for now.
I’m just trying to figure out where they would send me to – Ireland? Sweden? England? Or would they cut me in thirds and send part of me to each country? (And how long before Trump decides those are ‘third world countries’ that are ‘incompatible with Western Civilization® ?)
Was Plato’s Academy compatible with Western Civilization, or was Justinian’s closing of it? Were Shakespeare’s plays compatible with Western Civilization, or the Protectorate’s banning of theater?
I’m in the middle of watching the Amazon series “The Man in the High Castle” right now, and I must say… I’m struggling to find much difference between what DJT wants to do and what the Germans do in this series.
In some parallel universe, TV viewers are enjoying a dystopian thriller about a nightmare world where Donald Trump decided to run for US Prez in 2015…and won.
SInce he believes that he is the state, that could mean 70% of the country.
To amplify on Colin’s comment…
“The devil a puritan that he is, or any thing
constantly, but a time-pleaser; an affectioned ass,
that cons state without book and utters it by great
swarths: the best persuaded of himself, so
crammed, as he thinks, with excellencies, that it is
his grounds of faith that all that look on him love
him…”
“Western Civilization”? From a man who sounds like he’s never read a page of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare or Jane Austen in his life?
Oh well he means Western Civilization in the form of casinos and golf courses and fast cars and ladies with big tits and underage girls forced to have sex with him.

More like a black comedy. It wouldn’t work as a thriller. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far…
Ophelia, you mustn’t forget fast food…that is definitely a part of Western Civ as he defines it!
