Charlie Sykes up until a few months ago had a local conservative talk show on the radio in my city of Milwaukee. I enjoyed listening to him on and off for about 15 years. He started his adult life as a left wing reporter but as happens with so many younger people they drift more towards center as they are removed from college campus life. He brought up those 50 rules many times because they are relevant to so many modern problems in society.

Now he is a guest commentator at MSNBC of all places. I think he landed that job because he is well spoken and is not on board with Trump. The shows love to parade anti Trump conservatives.

but they lower their standards to a more 'average' looking male when it comes to looking for a mate - which explains how people like me and Jimmy get laid.

Looks like Emmanuel Macron is going to be the new French president. Last I heard, he was ahead around 65-35% which is a comfortable margin, and because France has a reasonable system in place, the person who gets the most votes wins for a change

I'm glad other countries aren't electing leaders based on who can complain about immigration the loudest.

Isn't france an majority non-native population? Between open eu flow and African immigrants I know Paris is a majority immigrant population.

That sounds a bit difficult to take at face value. A quick lazy check on wikipedia indicates that roughly 20% of those in Paris were born overseas, at least in 2011. A lot can happen in 6 years, and immigration might have increased recently but that's a pretty extreme statement.

I'm not sure what point you're making. When you trace back a few generations the U.S is a majority immigrant population. IMO country of birth isn't anywhere near as important as citizenship and system of values.

Idk, Macron has some pretty good sounding economic policies, stuff that's clear and detailed. You know, other than the meaningless "Make France 'great' again", "replace with 'something' terrific", and "the greatest tax reform in history" that's a single sided A4 document

White French people make France, France.

Importing brown and black non-french people makes France, not France. Get it.

It's the people on the dirt that make a country, not the dirt under the people. Ya dig? Micky, you're young and brainwashed. Please refrain from forming political decisions until you're old-wiser and more conservative.

See, I didn't even talk about immigration in the policy of my last post. A lot of people in America seem to be so fed up with the establishment (and rightfully so, I'm not ragging on them for that) and immigration that it seems they're willing to sacrifice many other aspects of their society to 'stick it to the man' and keep out a few bad hombres.

But let's focus on immigration anyway. It's a large and complex issue. All Trump has brought to the table are magic, one-size-fits-all, brute-force blanket solutions such building a wall and completely banning all immigration from certain countries (even temporarily). It is entirely possible to be willing to reduce an manage the immigration situation without resorting to such (lack of) policy. Btw Trump hasn't had much luck even doing these two things. Not surprised given the impracticality of a 20 ft concrete wall across the entire border.

[Micky C]

The thread is meant to be about anything isn't it?

Still, if you want you can split it off an merge it into one of the existing politics threads.

[High Treason]

The actions of certain people, and the impact of propping them up, is making it increasingly difficult to be tolerant.

Fuck immigration. If you're not going to benefit my country in some way we don't want you, we've got enough problems to burden ourselves with already and we don't need yours, or the ones you cause, hoisting on top of those.

Wow, now there's a lot of speculation. What's the big deal about him potentially not being an outsider and being groomed by the establishment? It's not like Trump was endorsed by the Republican Party or hired a bunch of Goldman Sachs people to his cabinet. Oh wait.

A lot of Trump's views line up perfectly with the Republican Party. Not all of them, but certainly a lot of the big ones like low tax and soft regulations on climate. If you want an actual outsider with some different ideas, there's Bernie Sanders.

Socialism is not a different idea. Its a shift into next gear of what the Democrats have been attempting for decades.

He's not pushing for a socialist society, just a few key attributes such as education and health care, and like the military is already. When the population is educated and healthy (i.e not spending time away from their jobs or unable to work at all due to health reasons), the economy benefits. Let market forces determine the rest of the services and products.

He's an outsider enough that his own party rejected him over Hillary of all people, despite his popularity.

[Mark]

Then why did he admit he was a socialist? Without going into great detail, he is anti-capitalism at heart. He was quoted as saying something to the effect of why does anyone need so many pairs of shoes. Why are there so many brands of deoderant? Lots of little things like that. Couple it with his desire to make to have free college education, government run healthcare, his hatred of the rich and willingness to make them pay dearly for all his governmental desires, smaller military, his belief on man made global warming which is clearly a well designed plan for the redistribution of wealth...No thanks. I don't remember what they were, but I know I actually agreed with him once or twice on some minor issues. He may bend on a few things right now because he knows he faces a capitalist country but I feel that given a chance he would turn full on socialist.

The Republican party sponsored Trump only after he threatened to go independent and steal a portion of their votes, which in turn would ensure the dems a win.
Hiring ex-employees of goldman sachs is a norm. The last several presidents have had multiple former goldman sachs people in their cabinet. They are well trained in economics and financial dealings.

It's not like this would be the first time anyway, they're considered nation of defeatists for a reason. I honestly didn't expect anything else from French. It would be like expecting competent leaders and non-absurd laws from Canada (no offensive).
