Maybe the are intentionally provoking a crisis to force Congress to act? (If so, seems very risky–Dems and pro-business GOPS will demand all sorts of things in exchange, like amnesties and guest-worker programs. Not what you want to negotiate under a gun.) https://t.co/iOemxq1Ko2

HUH? Why don't they print this up on flyers and distribute in Central America, to save the coyotes the trouble. This seems a sure-fire way to turbocharge the mass migration, no? https://t.co/qti69HJ2xi

And tighter immigration control is clearly the driving factor in raising wages at bottom in this industry–not the "capital spending boom" that Trump's CEA chair, economist Kevin Hassett, credits. https://t.co/hqJnzYEiOH

Depends on how media covers it, no? So it will be subsumed under the general 2020 principle that whatever Trump does will be terrible and whatever his opponent does will be great. https://t.co/EuWe3JCJO4

"The Left is blocking Wall funding AGAIN. We can't give up now…So I'm 5x matching all gifts today to Save The Wall!" That's @SteveScalise, minority whip, fundraising just now in a text.

This isn't a baker not selling me a cake. If Twitter said "We think you're too conservative. We don't want you," that would the baker not selling me a cake. Thiis is the baker pretending to sell me a cake but actually it's a hollow shell filled with nothing. https://t.co/ccoyIk8p02

"But Twitter is free." Not really. I'm giving them access to my data, which they are (trying to) monetize. That's 'consideration' (as lawyers say) in the New Economy! And-if they shadowban-they've obtained it on questionable pretenses, no? https://t.co/mVvPHPt4NY

SHADOWBAN THIS: Isn't shadowbanning a form of fraud? If a baker were to sell you a cupcake and it's filled with sawdust, you could sue him. If Twitter were to say you can post and then deceive you into thinking others can read your post, what's that? https://t.co/KNJvDZfc6F

Did GM ever give Lordstown a winning car to produce? '69 Caprice, Vega, Monza, Buick Skyhawk, Cobalt, Cruze? What a depressing list. Even if they'd done a great job screwing them together.

BFD: Does @Twitter admit it shadowbans now? Their email doesn't quite do it, but in conjunction with Davis' statement that the tweet was still visible to him, seems close to proof. What's the excuse for shadowbanning? If you're going to ban, ban. This is Lives-of-Othersy. https://t.co/eKBOaxl5Nt

"Trump has latched onto all kinds of ideas ….But the auto industry asked for almost none of them." https://t.co/rtj4rvEknO The idea that public policy should reflect what industry sectors ("stakeholders") ask for seems a core fallacy of DC lobbyng/media culture–aka corporatism

The H-2B guest worker lobby? Isn't one of those groups the one that hired Matt Schlapp, head of CPAC (and husband of @RealDonaldTrump's Director of Strategic Communications)?

Also: Fighting and losing isn't the same as actively betraying, in the belief that the base is *so* happy with all the fighting-and-losing on the wall that they'll swallow a big immigration increase.

.@HenryOlsenEPPC: "For the mass of [Trump] fans, all he must do is fight"–not win. Convenient for him if true. But does he need the "mass" of his fans, or *all* of them–and then some, to make up for suburban erosion? https://t.co/FljslzOKuw

IS THIS TAKE TAKEN? If the system were as rigged as people say, would Felicity Huffman et al have had to cheat? The meritocracy was about to weed out their kids, or at least deliver some downward mobility.

“Bannon recalls Kushner furiously shouting at him at the White House in 2017 after he confronted Kushner about holding secret talks with senators on immigration reform. 'He goes from a little boy to, like, this fucking devil,' ” https://t.co/Ebc41ppCMa Might be spin. Might not.

I'm saying he fought not-very-competently, he prioritized other issues (eg Ryan's tax bill, Obamacare repeal), he appointed people who didn't want to fight (or actively opposed his agenda), took the base for granted and failed for two years. https://t.co/d83M7ZUHlW
