The woman CLAIMS to be a preschool teacher – I’d like more information about the school – is it a Madrassa? Is she actually working as a teacher, or was that detail added to get the Lefties’ heartstrings all a-twitter?

May seem like a small price to pay – but I agree with the sentiment upthread – what was wrong with current refugee vetting processes? Honest question.

The order was delivered in such a rush that even guys like my friend from India who have been vetted out the wazoo (green card holder) are effected, largely out of just confusion and caution – And we really, really need our green card co-workers (I’m in IT).

We’re twelve days in. Happy with the Supreme Court pick. Not happy with rule-by-EO and wondering if the president will just do that the rest of his term or actually work the process of Government the way they are supposed to be worked?

NLP isn’t based on twitter triggering. If Trum was making a speech, he can reach the audience with hypnotic techniques same way Hussein did.

What does the triggering in NLP these days is the meme factories and propaganda posters people put up. It’s not old school because original NLP didn’t have these tools.

To be fair Adams mentions NLP as only one ingredient for the stew he calls Master Persuasion.

Here’s a list of things they may have picked it up from.

Lizard Queen of England.
The Controllers.
The Rothschilds.
The Bankers.
The Vatican.
The Jesuits.
The Dominicans.

Nor do Scott Adams’s explanations map well to NLP as I understand it. To be fair Adams mentions NLP as only one ingredient for the stew he calls Master Persuasion.

The closest brand of persuasion I can see Trump practicing is what the pickup-artist community calls Game, which includes “negging” — seemingly casual insults designed to undermine a woman’s confidence thereby encouraging her to be attracted to the pickup-guy as an alpha male.

Trump definitely has Game.

dilbert’s base assumption divides the world into two categories: meat puppets (vast majority), and master persuaders (an elite, small percentage of the population).

Where do you think he’d put you?

Here is a clue from his most recent post:

“As a trained persuader, I’m seeing a dangerous situation forming that I assume is invisible to most of you.“

You are faaaar smarter than what adams gives you credit for, but you are free to “Agree 100% with Scott Adams”.
.

His branch of NLP is full of sh*t, for the most part, and gets way more credit than he deserves for sometimes having interesting points.

He only gets airplay because it “aligns” with what people want to hear wrt trump, of course, assuming themselves not to be meat puppets.

His theoretical foundations may not be more than a step or two away from l ron hubbard’s dianetics, afaiknow.

Fox, rightly, doesn’t touch his nonsense.

yeah. feminists had not changed the main things yet so that the rest would fall into place.. they had not gotten rid of the male teachers… nor had they changed the language so you cant talk… nor was the world afraid to speak, and to discuss, and to plan… but they changed law and forced themselves into places that didnt want them… the marraige strike and population collapse had not yet happened that importing people was so important to pay for barren oldsters.

wait… a lot of things we denied are coming up
including the population collapse of a group who now the minorities want to get rid of: priveleged white feminists who make evil racist men

so no. we were crazy due to the left in terms of communism and protests of the war so communism would win… but we went deeper crazy with the ladies at the helm…

dont think so?
try to criticize them publicly with your name open and see what happens…

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”

and they are beyond any criticism…
if women dont like it, they are not real
if men dont like it, they have penis, so dont count
and on and on and on

the craziness parallels their ascension and social destructiveness.. (work, race, everything is political, abortion, freebies, college freebies and on and on and on… )

oh and if you dont think it crazy, then why does that feminist leader have a gold screw in her bald head? why do they think walking around in lingerie will stop rape? why is twerking a goodness? is being a sex worker liberating? how about loving fisting as a new norm? how about 32 genders? (and you can read how the replacement of sex with gender in wording was the game that later would turn law on end when gender took full meaning)

wacko is what the ladies brought
the more we gave into them, the crazier it got
and the worse the laws want

now the ladies are fighting for equal pay

which they never explain and how its different from equal opportunity and all that? but in the soviet union, a person who was a clerk got the equal pay of a doctor… and so on. its point is so a soviet state could declare wages

note how these ladies screwed half their own children and future descendants!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, what you say and what I say are not in disagreement. I’m merely separating it out into two different types of “liking.” And I don’t often use the term “like” for political approval.

With Trump, I approve of (like) quite a few of the things he’s done so far. It’s early in the game.

And for the most part I don’t “like” him as a person.

its like your kid gave a party while your on vacation, you come home early, and the argument is that they are having so much fun, and all that, and it would be such a shame to send them home…

duh… they shouldnt have been there in the first place

and others as well, and those babies and the workers.

i mean right now, starbucks said it will violate EEOC laws and hire muslim refugees… i guess the blacks get the shaft again even after dems left, they make em squeel

i guess starbucks thinks americans are as racist as the dems thought when they ginned up the civil war, the riots on nyc, and more…

i all tapped out but would have bought put options given this one and the almist universal comments of no more starbucks..

then… i wonder what happens in the african communities when the people they voted for that bribed them with freebies, are now favoring people that displace them from summer jobs, permanent jobs promotions and more!!!!

I like Trump’s decisions and choice of minions. that’s what matters, not whether he exaggerated about losing “hundreds” of friends in the WTC or has been a womanizer like JFK or The Lion of the Senate, now deceased. He almost surely lost a bunch of friends in the global financial center’s burn-up.
Politics is not physics. Politics is imprecise, with wide swings among both exaggerations and minimalizations.

Ah, but both things can be true. In other words, he should have explained it better AND it wouldn’t have really mattered to the MSM.

It would, however, have given their twisting of the story less fertile ground in the public in which to grow. As I wrote in my post:

What’s more, I am firmly convinced that if, say, a President Cruz had announced something similar (and I believe he would have), and if he’d done it with an exception for people in transit and had also exempted those with green cards, that the press would have managed to give him equally negative coverage. That’s no reason that Trump had to play into their hands…

You know what would have been a good idea? As this was announced, in addition to this long, complex, and rather legalistic press release, President Trump should have given a much shorter speech highlighting and explaining exactly what the order is and what it isn’t, and why it was being done so quickly. That way at least he would have made the press’s self-appointed job of obfuscation somewhat more difficult, although they would have probably been up to the task anyway.
