Sandbox – 25jan18

25 January 2018

[Trump is a hit in Davos despite his strong but stunningly accurate language calling out "shithole countries" which we here have abbreviated into a more decorous SHC. Now a correspondent informs that SHC should, perhaps, be made into the even more palatable TWN. TWN? why that's a "Turd-World Nation" of course. But now we can also examine the Europeans' reaction to Trump's next obvious truth that his administration will promote 'America First' policies, as if protesting Italy would put, say, France first. gjr]

From The Politico: HOW DAVOS REALLY VIEWS TRUMP: In short, it’s not as bad as the tweets.
“President Donald Trump will arrive here Thursday to be greeted politely by global elites who commonly regard him as a buffoon,” write John F. Harris and Matthew Kaminski from Davos. “What has come as a surprise to many of those people is how much they are learning to live with — and in some cases even enjoy — the Buffoon Presidency.”
“Aside from Trump’s incendiary bluster, many say, the actual consequences of his presidency have been more agreeable (or less disagreeable) than they feared a year ago. This is especially true in business circles, where people note that both the U.S and European economies are purring nicely.”

BTW it has been cleared up… little Dick Durbin did apparently get it wrong.
Trump referred to “sh*t HOUSE countries”, not holes. Makes all the difference. 🙂 One is a hole dug into the ground, the other is a structure built above ground. Much nicer.
Somehow, I can’t find any quotes to match all those racist statements that followed, as claimed by Senator Durbin… I guess Durbin just figured the people who he wanted to rile up would take his word for it. Why would he make it up???

A link followed from Real Clear Politics that rang true, from a self described “right-leaning libertarian” writing in Bloomberg:
Why Democrats Won’t Get Their Way on Immigration
They were not elected to run any branch of government. That’s hard news to break to the liberal base.
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-01-25/why-democrats-won-t-get-their-way-on-immigration

“As a right-leaning libertarian, my heart goes out to liberal pundits right now, who face the unenviable task of explaining to the Democratic base that they are probably not going to get very much of what they want on immigration. 1 This is going to be a deeply unpleasant experience, and I feel their pain.
I have walked a mile in their shoes, and boy, were they uncomfortable.
You see, in 2010, Republicans reclaimed control of the House of Representatives. Having made extravagant promises to go to Washington, shrink government and repeal Obamacare, the new representatives set out trying to find a way to keep their promises. Unfortunately, it turned out that there wasn’t actually any way to do so, given that Democrats still controlled the Senate and the presidency.
The base does not spend a lot of time thinking about the elegant checks and balances built into our constitutional design. They didn’t want to hear “Gosh, well, it turns out politics is a lot harder than it sounded when I was an orthodontist!” They wanted a smaller government, lower taxes and 100 percent less Obamacare, just like they were promised. Desperate conservative representatives decided that they would try to force Democrats to give them what they wanted by using the only leverage they did have: the looming need to reauthorize the debt ceiling so that the federal government could continue doing what it does. No concessions, they said, no hike in the debt ceiling.
This plan was — for want of a better word — moronic.
If you hold a mere one-third of the centers of federal power, you cannot expect to govern as if you hold all three. You will emerge from the standoff with even less political capital than you had before.
The Republican base who wanted smaller government and an end to Obamacare shouted: “What else are we supposed to do?” The informed response — “accept that there is no way to get what you want right now” — was universally unpopular.
—
And you know who sounds eerily like the conservatives who were yelling at me in 2011 and 2013? The Democratic base right now.”

Unlike the writer who denies any schadenfreude, as a left-leaning libertarian I’m filled to the brim with it.

Let’s get a grip on the Davos rock star narrative. Davos Man doesn’t believe in America First, but Trump commands attention because he’s the leader of the strongest nation in the world. (I know this hard to believe after 8 years of Obama, but it’s true.)
And much like people who slow down for a wreck on the interstate, people are attracted to Trump because they don’t know what he’s going to do next. Just ask his lawyers (“I’ll testify under oath”) or his treasury secretary, who called for a weak dollar the day before Trump said he wants a strong one.
Then there’s Amnesty Don, who is offering a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegals. So much for making America white again.

That is big…nobody cares much now, but that is big.
Remember Obama said unequivocally he never knew Minister Louie F, never met him, don’t know him. The most racist man in America. You know, “Hilter was a nice man, Judaism is a Gutter Religion “ Louie, Louie. Obama never even met the guy.
Hmmm. Looks to me Obama is not just standing there, but actually leaning into Louie Louie in that pic buried by the photojournalist and shown about the media back in the 2008 campaign. Almost as bad as sitting for 20 years in the pews of that clustergluck racist Jeremiah Wright….goddamn it.
The reason that pic is important (yes, nobody cares) is because you got to ask yourself:
1) did the media just not care, they were A-OK with it because it was Obama’running for Prez.
2) Was the media just that lazy, that incompetent?
3) Or, was the media just full blown partisan?
4) Are #2 and #3 rhetorical questions or synonymous ?
The way the bedwetters are caring on, you would have thunk Trump actually knew David Duke, mugged for the camera with him with beaming faces, all the while sitting in the Church Of Robert Spenser, aka, “my spiritual mentor.”
