A lot of things, yes.
So surely when Trump puts the DoJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI and FISC to work spying on his opposition in the upcoming campaign . . . that’ll be a right out, verboten, no way Jose, go straight to jail violation of everything America stands for.
Right?
Well yes, of course.
Oh look! Conejos!
“when Obama did it it was okay.” — because his motives were pure.
SCOTUS thinks that’s all that counts.
That is an absolutely shocking story. No, not that the cages started under Obama. But that a Democrat would tell the truth.
You’d think that the news might prompt a protest from citizens and taxpayers sick of the enormous resources devoted to the invasion crisis. But no: Wayfair employees supporting the illegals staged a walkout in protest of the company’s efforts to improve the situation for those detained. I don’t claim to understand the rationale. It must be counterintuitive. I guess they would prefer that the government roll out the welcome sign and give up our borders.
Fox Business reports that Wayfair executives “praised the more than 500 employees who called for the company to sever business ties with immigration contractors, but denied their request.” I can understand the Wayfair executives if their praise is geared to averting a public relations crisis. Firing otherwise seems like a more rational response.
The New York Times tops them all. As I read the Times’s purported news story on the situation, the Times is promoting a boycott of Wayfair.
These people are all nuts, but who is the craziest? As Bobby O’Rourke might put it (I hope I have this right): ¿Quien es el mas loco? I’m going with the Times.
To be exactly accurate, when it is our side crushing the enemy, that is good. When it is the enemy crushing us… that is bad.
It is a very simple tribalistic human affiliation and instinct. It is the Ego or the natural instincts at work. The monkey or the lizard acting up, not the rational (so called) man.
When people here celebrate the American sniper due to patriotic reasons, why then do you not celebrate Taliban or ISIL snipers?
Because that is the enemy, duh.
To the Leftist alliance, Trum and you all are Enemies. Enemies of the State. So your answer is to empower the State to de regulate or regulate or anti trust or whatever, corporations. Wait wait, who is the Enemy of the State again? It’s not Alphabet or Amazon.
The Wayfair situation is going to spread; it is, indeed, an instance of the already creeping Financial Kudzu planted by the Left.
Although Mastercard’s board says it is committed to the principle of allowing “all lawful purchases,” online payments platform Patreon says that Mastercard asked it to withdraw service from Islam critic Robert Spencer, founder of JihadWatch.org, in August 2018. Mastercard also pressured a payment processor to cut off service to conservative activist, think tank founder and author David Horowitz last year, but later the processor reinstated service following pressure from Breitbart News and other conservative media.
As left-wing political activist groups have pressured social media companies to blacklist their political rivals, they are also intent on destroying the ability of the political right to do business on the Internet. The rise of financial blacklisting has been a trend in recent years, with repeated instances online payment processors and funding platforms cutting off their services to right-wingers and conservatives.
Even liberal groups have sounded the alarm about this trend. In July last year, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) warned that banks, credit card companies and payment processors are becoming “de facto internet censors.”
“EFF is deeply concerned that payment processors are making choices about which websites can and can’t accept payments or process donations,” an EFF spokeswoman told Breitbart News at the time.
Combined with corporate-controlled cryptocurrencies like Facebook’s “Libra” coin, Corporate America increasingly references the rise of a “cashless society.”
The CEO of Bank of America recently stated that he supports the trend, “from a pure operating cost [perspective]” as it would allow the bank to spend less on moving checks and cash around the company.
But beyond this relatively benign motivation, a “cashless society” would also allow a handful of corporations to control access to the financial system — and potentially cut if off from those deemed politically or socially undesirable. This is precisely the kind of financial blacklisting that Sleeping Giants loudly demands from Mastercard.
Big Brother is operating in the private sector; the public sector is playing catch up.
The relevant element in the phrase “law enforcement” is FORCE. We have the expectation that the people of a given society will follow that society’s laws, and that those who do not will have force applied to them to stop that unlawful behavior.
Right now, we essentially have de facto open borders, because there is no willingness to use any real measures of force to stop this influx of alien persons. And in point of fact, they are using FORCE on us, forcing us to take them in, and then to provide for all of their basic needs.
Let’s not get bogged down on what Donald Trump has done, because this mass movement of people will continue, no matter what, and no matter who is President. It is the huge disparity in wealth and population size between the developed and the undeveloped countries, and only force will stop all such mass movements of people.
You cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast, aesop. The thing is, they know that prediction. What makes anyone think the armies of darkness cannot intentionally create it with your help…

The shareholders stayed sane, but Mastercard execs haven’t always been as saunch at the administration level.

“Me” being Robert Spencer in 2018, and there have been other cases.
