yes you did say it, I clearly remember

@wolfgang59 saidSo there ya go!
When everything else in the online shop above $20 is rounded to the nearest $5 ...
.. and there are no "market forces" these are exclusive items to support Trump.
Wolfgang59 PROVES that the $88 figure is a racist dog whistle because
the price of the baseball should be rounded up to $90!!
You are a real thinker, werewolf. 😆

Do you deny it? Let me see you deny it, Wolfgang.
I don't take a stance for Trump, I take a stance against LUNACY.

There’s something not quite right about this statement over and above it’s obvious fallaciousness in that your always taking a stance for Trump.

Let's get back on track though earl,
you resurrected this thread to justify
Please tell the listening audience again how Trump went to the Trump store
and priced a baseball at $88 to speak in secret code to White Supremacists.
And I'm waiting.
And btw;
I am a thinker, you would do well to follow my example before putting hands to keyboard.

You can be flippant about coded racist symbolism and still deny you are a racist?
Funny.

right here wolf. and thanks for the bump
What's your point?
Get back to trying to prove those allegations which I have denied.
I didn’t notice this thread first time around and the OP is quite interesting. I’m not much caught up by the baseball price fiasco but the text on Homeland Security website is astonishing and for me becomes quite dark when read a few times. Read between the lines, summarise for yourself, what is being conveyed here...
Here is the complete section but the entire page needs to be considered.
Illegal immigrants are incentivized to illegally enter by the low standard for credible fear and the lack of cost or sanction for filing a baseless asylum claim, which allows many of them to assert meritless claims that will not be adjudicated for years.
-There has been a 1,700 percent increase in Credible Fear receipts from 2008 to 2016.
- Annual asylum applications have tripled in the last 3 years.
- There has been a 1,750 percent increase in the asylum backlog over the last 5 years. The affirmative asylum backlog at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has grown to 313,214 cases, as of January 28th. Another 290,000 asylum cases are pending in our immigration courts as of February 9.
- The increase in claims filed is not associated with an increase in meritorious claims. As of FY 17, the asylum grant rate for defensive applications in immigration court is approximately 30%. On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum.
- The backlog of cases in our immigrations courts is approximately 675,000 cases.

What is this page and section telling readers?
- criteria for fear based asylum seeking is too low
- we are being overwhelmed and need a wall
- even with a wall we are overwhelmed
- the numbers are astronomical
- but don’t worry we are keeping successful application numbers to approx 15%
Ok fair enough to some extent, BUT here again is how the message of don’t worry is specifically worded:
”As of FY 17, the asylum grant rate for defensive applications in immigration court is approximately 30%. On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum.”
My emphasis of course.
Of 88 13 are granted. Really!!
Why not of 100 15 are granted. Or approximately 15%.
I have to say this reads like a message of reassurance to the white supremacists.
Sorry for all the edits, I couldn’t get the (quote)(/quote) right.

@divegeester saidAs I read it I did think what a weird way to get a percentage I mean the clues in the name, isn’t it always out of 100 by definition unless your dealing with a base number below 100. But even then you can express it that way for communication purposes.

"So the initial interviewers accepted 88 out of 100 claims of "credible fear" but the February 2018 DHS release says only 13 of those were accepted by the immigration judges."
This is an entirely plausible explanation for the use of 88, which does seem odd on the surface.
