Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
[Warning: This is the first PG-13 version of Today’s Campaign Update. Today’s Campaign Update will return to its traditional PG format tomorrow.]
- Me and Rush, tight as ticks. – I caught Rush Limbaugh’s opening segment the last two days, and I’m beginning to think he’s reading my Daily Campaign Updates during his daily show prep. If you listen to the first 8 minutes of his show the last two days and compare that to what I wrote, there’s a lot of not just the same points, but a lot of exact wording being used. I’m cool with that, Rush. But give me a shout out sometime, ok? Thanks.
- You just cannot make this stuff up. – USA Today reported on Thursday that many radical “women’s” advocates are ditching their pink pussyhats. Why? Oh, you’ll never guess why. Go ahead, guess. Nope, try again. Nope. Ok, here’s the answer: They’re ditching their pussy hats because, and I’m quoting here, “the pink pussyhat excludes and is offensive to transgender women and gender non-binary people who don’t have typical female genitalia and to women of color because their genitals are more likely to be brown than pink.” There are a million things – literally – I could say about this, but in the interest of decorum, I will just leave it at that.
- Terminally un-funny comic and notorious drunk Chelsea Handler demonstrated yet again what a perfect spokeswoman she is for the progressive left on Wednesday by accusing – in the most graphic language possible – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of being a closeted homosexual on her Twitter account. Senator Graham, a lifelong bachelor, has steadfastly denied this claim repeatedly during his political career. Remember when progressives were the tolerant ones? Or at least put up the pretense of being so? Yeah, good times…
- Ok, so, we are well in to the “shithole countries” news cycle, in which everyone in the fake news media goes berserk over a comment made in what was supposed to be a closed meeting by the President of the United States. I won’t defend that language, which is completely inappropriate for any U.S. president to use about other countries. Nor will I defend the President’s timing, which steps all over his message on immigration and destroyed the narrative of what was otherwise an extremely positive day for his immigration policies. But I will defend the sentiment: We simply need a smarter immigration policy for our country.
- We should be – as our country has done throughout most of its history – focused on bringing in people who can actually contribute to our society in meaningful ways, and who wish to assimilate into our society. We have spent the last 50 years under an immigration policy designed to favor immigrants who have no interest in assimilating into U.S. society, simply because such immigrants are more likely to vote Democrat. The Democrat Party wants a Balkanized country, a divided America, because a divided country favors its electoral politics. Simple as that.
- But even Democrats weren’t always as interested in dividing America along racial and ethnic lines. In pushing his 1965 immigration bill, Ted Kennedy said , “[the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.” That’s 52 years ago, of course, but YouTube is full of videos of Democrat luminaries like Chuck Schumer, the Pantsuit Princess and Harry Reid expounding on the need to protect our borders, send “illegal aliens” (yes, as recently as 9 years ago, Schumer used that term in the well of the Senate) back to their home countries, and promote policies that encourage new legal immigrants to learn English and assimilate into American society. Yeah, good times…good times…
- All the “shithole countries” talk aside, all of you Trump supporters who spend too much time listening to professional rabble rousers like Ann Coulter and #nevertrumpists who were warning you that the President was about to sell the country out by agreeing to amnesty with no border protections should have been breathing sighs of relief at day’s end on Thursday. President Trump’s frustrated remark came in a meeting with several pro-amnesty senators who believed they had just the deal for him: a deal that would provide the DREAMers a 10-15 year path to citizenship, modify (but not eliminate) chain migration, provide a down payment on border security measures without full funding, and modify (but not eliminate) the immigration lottery system, the continuation of which was what led to Mr. Trump becoming so irritated.
- That was a classic Washington DC compromise deal, a conglomeration of counterproductive half-measures in which everyone involved would get part, but not all of what they wanted, and could have all declared “victory”. President Trump turned it down flat, because it was a lousy deal for the country, and because it would have violated his campaign promises on immigration.
- Make no mistake: there is a deal to be made here, and it is obvious. That deal is that the DREAMers get immediate legal status with a path to citizenship; the border wall/enhanced security gets fully funded; chain migration ends; and the immigration lottery goes away over time. That’s the deal the President will accept, and it is completely consistent with his campaign promises.
- Honestly, folks, how many of those campaign promises must this man keep to you before you all start showing a little faith in him?
Just another day in “shithole countries” America.
That is all.

And all those SH countries signed the climate accord....like they’re going to contribute. They’re leeches.
Say it with me everyone:
“shithole, shithole, shithole”
“to women of color because their genitals are more likely to be brown than pink.
It’s all pink on the inside. Trust me on this.
L
One question. When Trump says we have to stop migration from all these shithole countries he doesn’t mean people moving into red states from places like, say, California, does he?
Well, that was one of the million things I could have said about that, but thought better of it.
If only.
...round and round the bowl we go.
And when it’ll stop, nobody knows.
Path=at least three years off the welfare rolls before they can even apply for citizenship.The Swiss know that will work so they passed a law.
With all the public defecation going on now in the Golden State, California is rocketing toward s-hole status.
And Washington and Oregon are not far behind.
good one
Shithole teeshirts available at Cafe Press in three, two, one...
Covfefe shitholes
Of those two countries, which of the two would all these limousine liberals choose to emigrate to if Trump wins the election - oh wait.....
“Honestly, folks, how many of those campaign promises must this man keep to you before you all start showing a little faith in him?”
Said it many times. For some people on the right, Trump is only as good as his last kept promise.
The man has stuck his neck out there for us COUNTLESS times. Doing things he’s promised and more. Stuff most big mouths on our side wouldn’t even utter in public that they support. But yet just based on rumor and hearsay, they will turn on the guy in a heartbeat!
I tell these people to use that energy and direct it at the idiots in Congress.
Exactly. As I said before when it was candidate Trump, and I still believe there is very little about President Trump that is accidental or off-the-cuff. Closed meeting yes, but intentionally leaked.
...I won’t defend that language, which is completely inappropriate for any U.S. president to use about other countries.
I disagree. There are shithole countries out there, it is an accurate characterization. A President, a leader, should tell it like it is. Sometimes a leader has to slap the led in the face (figuratively or literally) to refocus them. We've been grinding on the liberal narrative of immigration - how any/all immigration is good, no limits, take anyone and everyone, open borders, yadda yadda - for far too long.
Well past time we got slapped in the face and reminded that there are shithole countries out there full of people we do not want in our Country. There, I said it. You all know it is true.
You don't want the meth heads moving into your neighborhood and setting up in a house down the street. You don't want the convicted child molester around the block by the bus stop, nor the released rapist moving back in next door. There are people you don't want to be around, personally, and as a Country. Admit it, acknowledge it, and let's drop this liberal narrative and guilt that we're somehow sh*ts for not wanting these people.
Well, now we’re gonna see shithole hats and pussy hats
In diverse skin shades, of course
As in "In the fullness of time." Same old stall.
