A Running List of Trump's Betrayals

War for the West @War4theWest

In light of the Trump administration decision to accelerate Indian immigration on a permanent basis to our nation, I think we must change our tactics and strategy.

Many of us have hoped amplifying the data and the stories that highlight the wreckage mass immigration from India has wrought on the American tech industry for American workers would influence a Maga administration that claims to care about American workers.

For those of you who don’t understand what’s just happened let me make it clear. The Trump administration has fast-tracked the issuance of green cards for Indian immigrants exclusively. His collapsing, 15 months of issuance into an immediate grant.

These green cards are sponsored largely by American tech companies. These are permanent residencies granted to Indians exclusively. This means yet another flood of jobs going to Indians in our tech sector while qualified, highly skilled Americans cannot find work.

Apparently, the massive fraud that we’ve uncovered with respect to PERM ads almost exclusively to justify the issuance of green cards for Indians is irrelevant.

Apparently the fact that American tech workers of every age, especially recent college grads, are having difficulty finding work and seeing their careers destroyed doesn’t matter.

Apparently the massive layoffs and endless outsourcing and offshoring in the tech industry has no bearing on our immigration policies with respect to nations whose people flood our tech sector.

The propaganda about shortages is swallowed whole by an idiotic policy makers. And be clear I’m referring to President Trump when I say this most of all..

How many recent American college grads have to fail to get a job and see all their hard work to graduate from these very tough engineering programs go to waste? While Indians are waved in by the hundreds of thousands into the same companies ?

I recently met with a contract developer who had a good career in Tech who’s now living in her office, desperate and afraid for her future. I’ve talked to countless American citizens whose tech careers have been destroyed by the flood of mostly Indians into the tech sector.

How many court cases do we need to see from the likes of Apple and Facebook proving overt discrimination against American citizens?

How many fraudulent visa schemes and abuse do we need to see by body shops that specialize and exploiting every crack and crevice of our immigration system focusing on Indian tech workers?

Why do none of these facts matter to the Trump administration? I’ll tell you why.

Because Trump has been sucked into playing the grand game of geopolitics with America at the center “running the world“. You see he needs to pull India away from Russia to play this game more effectively, more than he cares about American citizens and particularly American tech workers

Even worse? He cares more about being able to claim victory on the world stage, to be seen as holding together the “post-World War II consensus”. That policy has placed the American citizen very far down in the priorities of the American government.

Apparently being able to show Europe and Asia that he can keep India on side is worth much more than our careers and livelihoods.

@realDonaldTrump

You and everyone in your rotten administration have played us for fools. Your proxies come out and whisper sweet nothings to us and make empty speeches while you sell us out.

It’s time for us to rethink our strategy. Politics isn’t working. And time has run out.

This thread is intended to track all of the instances of Trump either explicitly or implicitly reversing what he has said in the past, campaigned on, or would be an implicit betrayal of his past stance.

- Stated intent to increase the number of Chinese students coming to America (essentially immigration) to 600,000.

- Reversing course on reducing or eliminating the IRS.

- Trump secretly meeting with Bill Gates.

- Trump promised to drain the swamp. He is mostly doing the opposite.

More war, more spending, more rule by executive order, less free speech.

My biggest fear right now is when (not if) the democrats gets control of all 3 branches in 2028, Trump will have paved the way for income redistribution on an epic scale. The chances are high the bubble will have popped, we'll be experiencing hyperinflation, and people like me who have saved for retirement are going to have their assets stolen.

Republicans push legislation to eliminate government shutdowns​

Congressional Republicans are looking to avoid the inconvenience of government shutdowns by eliminating them altogether through legislation that would trigger automatic spending deals if there is a "lapse" in the appropriations process.

Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) introduced the Eliminate Shutdowns Act on Tuesday, which would trigger an automatic, 14-day continuing resolution when the deadline for government funding arrives. If Congress cannot pass an appropriations bill or a longer CR at the end of the 14-day "auto CR," then the deadline is punted for another 14 days, and so on until the normal funding process is completed.

Johnson said shutdowns do not serve the American people and harm the economy.

"Shutdowns are stupid, and everyone knows it,” Johnson said in a statement. “I was sent to Congress to make sure the government serves South Dakotans – it can’t possibly serve South Dakota if it is closed. Almost every other country does not face the threat of a government shutdown. The Eliminate Shutdowns Act will keep the government open, so it can work for you, while encouraging Congress to pass new funding packages.”

The legislation is timely given that a government shutdown currently looms on Sept. 30 if Congress cannot pass a seven-week CR that punts the funding deadline to Nov. 21. The House passed the spending deal on Friday, but it failed in the Senate after Democrats did not help Republicans clear the 60-vote filibuster.

Washington is in the middle of a blame game. Republicans argue Democrats want to shut down the government and are asking for "unserious" demands, while Democrats point to the GOP trifecta and say any lapse in funding will be the fault of the party in power for not coming to the negotiating table in "good faith."


President Donald Trump was scheduled to meet with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday, but he canceled after reported urging from House and Senate Republican leaders to do so. Both Jeffries and Schumer condemned Trump for "running away" from negotiations, while Trump said he did not expect a productive conversation on the Democrats' "ridiculous" demands.

The longest shutdown in U.S. history occurred under the last Republican trifecta during Trump's first term and lasted 35 days from the end of 2018 into 2019 after the president failed to get any additional money to construct more of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

After the 2018-19 shutdown, Congress passed the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019, which requires retroactive pay and leave accrual for federal employees impacted by furloughs as a result of a shutdown.


Dusty Johnson is not the only Republican looking to avoid situations like these in the future. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) is leading a similar effort, stating in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that he has experienced three shutdowns during his time in the Senate.

"This simple bill could be a game changer," Sen. Johnson wrote. "With government funding and functioning assured, Congress would no longer have to spend weeks and months arguing over how to keep government departments open after failing to pass appropriation bills. Appropriations for individual departments would no longer be held hostage until a deal is done for all."

"Anyone voting 'no' is voting to continue budgetary chaos and should be held accountable by the American people," the senator continued.

The Wisconsin Republican added that the bill could be used to force bipartisan reform of the appropriations process, which is "clearly broken and needs repair."



DEMOCRATS RISK SHUTDOWN BLAME GAME WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDING HARDBALL

"There have been good proposals over the years, but the partisanship involved in annual funding fights makes it impossible for them to get traction," the senator wrote.

At the beginning of September, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and James Lankford (R-OK) introduced the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, which requires all members of Congress to remain in Washington, D.C. until spending bills are completed. The bill also implements automatic, 14-day CR rolling periods, and allows for no other bills except spending legislation to come to the floor.

LOL. Thomas Massie already got such a law passed when McCarthy was speaker, plus it included an automatic 1% cut!

To get around it, Speaker Johnson was only doing short term CRs that did not trigger it. After that, he just changed the language to say that CRs are not CRs, and Omnibuses are not Omnibuses.

Never underestimate the gall and hypocrisy of the swamp.

I certainly understand the sentiment, and a new silver coin is nice, but it's a little overboard, and I shudder at the slippery slope.

Next up: Get your 1 oz. St. George Floyd silver coin and your 1/10 ounce Dr. Anthony Fauci gold coin!

I agree. But don't assume a "silver dollar" has any silver in it. Hundreds of thousands of Eisenhower silver dollars don't.

Also don't assume it will be the right size to qualify for the term silver dollar. The ones you can hardly tell from a quarter, like the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea, are called "dollar coins" by people who know coins.
