I have been over to freerepublic to see their reaction.
He has lost most of the freepers!
They are despondent, consider him a failure at nearly everything he has promised.
Dozens and dozens of them!!
I'm very surprised.
Can I post the link here?

(13,571 posts)A surprise, to me at least. I thought they had come up with a way to do this.

Did Obama remove the question ?

I have learned not to believe he will do something just because he says he will.

The president instead will take executive action to direct the Commerce Department to collect the information by other means.
What means other than the census does the Commerce Department have?

Roberts & his resistance gang in the courts will block this question come hell or high water.
Almost zero chance it gets asked in any way, on the census or as an addendum.

This was an important battle to fight. Whats the point of being a citizen anymore?

Geraldo Rivera was on Fox news this morning and he said it would be easy to just print another sheet that goes out with the Census forms and make it optional to complete and say It will not be shared with ICE or DHS and only for Census count.
Its not a bad idea. Not sure how many illegals would trust enough to complete. This way forms wouldnt have to be reprinted and the question would likely with stand a Judge or SC slapping it down.

Seems likely the Deep State has run out the clock on this one. Seems odd the GOP in the bureaucracy did not push for the question harder since it benefits the GOPe most of all. Most likely they are just lazy and the Dems just out worked them on this one.

Trump talks a good game on these issues, but accomplishes little.
The cold hard reality is that the third-world transformation of our homeland has not slowed a bit during his tenure. In fact, it has accelerated.

Whens the removal of those million illegals supposed to happen?

Aside from this loss. The plan was to hold off deporting family units until they could get the Democrats to help fix the loopholes. To me it reeks of doing nothing (for the millionth time) so they could bargain away our enforcement which should be operating in the background regardless.
I see nothing but victory for the NWO on immigration.

We were told the FISA docs would be declassified and released (we will be absolutely releasing). I think that was over four months ago.
I naively thought that was going to be a WIN for the American people and we would finally get to see the long awaited evidence of the FISA abuses. Trump said so. But it was a nothing burger.

Best way to counter this in real terms would be to let ONLY IAs fill out the census

Being a legal citizen is now a detriment.

Way to go Roberts, you piece of vile human excrement, youve done it again. Yet another step toward destruction of the Republic. Satisfied?

In the future. It will be awesome. But nows not the right time. Nor were the first two and a half years of the administration the right time.

this one I kinda like: "Best way to counter this in real terms would be to let ONLY IAs fill out the census" Yep, get that message out to the 10% of MAGAts who are listening... It will definitely help with the re-districting (might actually counterbalance their baked-in advantage).

(32,705 posts)We need to organize and fill out the census like never before. If not for our own benefit, for the benefit of those who are silent due to fear.

(25,183 posts)Imagine a family of undocumented people getting a census form in the mail. Yes, there is no citizenship question, but are they really going to fill it out truthfully, and risk giving their personal information to Trump? Yes, I know that he and his minions will have no direct access to it, but can you blame an immigrant family for not trusting in that?
This is why he thundered on today, he wants to sow fear. Once the Freepers get that, they'll calm back down to their usual racist selves.
