Because anyone against illegal immigration and wanting to take measures against it hates brown people. You're drive by posts always add so much to the discussion.
I don't know whether you're lying to us or yourself, but you said that you wanted to personally shoot people who were legally coming to seek asylum. That's not "wanting to take measures" against illegal immigration.

yes, if that is the ONLY change to be made. it has to be several things at once. but i dont see a need for a power structure to be unchanged for a lifetime. provides for the ability to be deep rooted in the system and enact bad legislation. wouldn't be nice if mcconnell wasnt around and his philosophy of obstructionism?
They've got 40 more Mitch McConnells waiting in the wings.

Goddamnit, congressional term limits aren’t a solution to anything. So long as the districts remain the same, it means replacing Louis Gohmert with Louis Gohmert 2, while forcing effective legislators who actually serve their community out with a risk of them being replaced by a fucking lobbyist.

Requiring masks by law was extremely helpful for me keeping my jobsites and clients safer. The vast majority of my subs and clients don't want to bother or even think it's rediculous that I'm wearing one in their fucking home.
" Sorry, it's the law " made that conversation quick and easy. I had all my guys wearing them.
Thanks again hot wheels.
I also like the "leadership" on opening salons.

Naah, just make it like a traffic fine. I mean, maybe a stiff one. But all things considered, I'm probably at least somewhat more likely to be killed by Johnny Sportscar going 100 on the road than I am by Fred Fuck Facemasks, so the fines should be similar.
Not a good comparison because one involves the transmission of a highly infectious disease and the other doesn't.
Not sure if we've run a similar analysis of any people who got covid here, but in South Korea that one lady who went to church ended up being the source of a cluster that infected at least 5,500 people. Even assuming a CFR of only 1%, she killed 55 people. That's before even getting to the harm she caused to the survivors who had to be hospitalized and suffered some type of permanent physical damage. Now, given how widespread covid is at this point, we're almost certainly not going to see anyone here spawn a cluster that large all by themselves since it's more likely someone else they'd infect might catch it from somewhere else anyway. But I think that's an argument in favor of more stringently enforcing mask requirements.

Then fine them for every violation.
This, and make it hurt. Make it a $5,000 fine. Hell, make it $10,000. They're free to endanger themselves, but fuck them if they think they've got the right to recklessly endanger the rest of us.

Absolutely. It’s clear what sets Trump off. Calling him weak is guaranteed to piss him off. Anything that challenges or questions his manhood gets the same reaction.
Every ad should call him stupid, an idiot, “not smart,” a failure, a puppet, Putin’s bitch, a simpleton, less than a man, impotent, a loser, a scaredy-cat, a chicken, etc. Keep attacking, and he will attack back. And he will eventually say stuff that crosses the line and alienates his fringe supporters. If Don Lemon or Maxine Waters called him stupid, Trump might drop an n-bomb in response.
I don’t get why some Dems won’t stoop to his level. Fuck this “when they go low, we fly high” bullshit. Speak in terms that Trump and his cult members understand. Any semi-intelligent Dem can run circles around Trump in a battle of wits on Twitter. But nobody wants to directly engage.
Actually, nobody has really been able to successfully engage. People like Ted Lieu try to bait Trump but there hasn’t been much success. He needs to sling mud.
He’ll never alienate his fringe supporters. They’re cultists. This approach is still obviously the correct one to take though, because his responses will alienate potential swing voters and hopefully force some people who consider voting 3rd party to vote Dem.

The GOP is a death cult.

If the Dems can't use this:
to win ~60% of the popular vote, they need to all resign. The attack ads write themselves. He wants to take the money that pays for boomers' social security and medicare and give it to the businesses that squandered their last tax cut on stock buybacks, necessitating an enormous bailout when shit hit the fan. That's not even getting to them declaring victory and winding down the covid task force in early May, when we're going to be seeing the equivalent of daily 9/11s by the end of the month, nor Trump hijacking state emergency equipment and giving it to connected donors to resell at a markup to the people they stole it from.

Kind of sad that the best anti-Trump ads are being made by ex-GOP.
The Dems and Biden’s team appear clueless when it comes to digital ads.
Dems are clueless when it comes to politics in general.

One can find the FBI's tactics offensive without approving of the defendant against which they are deployed.
I find much of what the FBI does on a daily basis offensive. There’s nothing wrong with how they treated Flynn.

I disagree. I don't think there's any way this could have been handled worse.
Even doing nothing would have been better.
Yup. It’s a very bad thing to say the states have to fend for themselves due to your own political calculation that being seen as responsible for the inevitably insufficient response would hurt you. It’s another thing entirely to say that, then act to impede the response by states run by Democrats and funnel vitally needed emergency supplies to your friends for resale at a huge markup.
I think the only way this could’ve been handled “worse” is if they started intentionally infecting Democrats with covid. But they’re supporting and boosting the tiny reopen protests In blue states, which are frequently led in many cases by white supremacists, which will have the same result.

Godalmighty. That's got a few good sentences in it, but overall is one of the most stilted pieces of writing I have consumed in quite some time.
Roth’s writing on Trump is intentionally like that. I think it’s more effective at communicating Trump’s mental state than anything else out there.

He just needs to stop with the numbers. He just keeps changing them as they grow. We're over 67k today and there's no way we only have 13k or even 23k more before this is all over. We could be over 100k in 2 or 3 weeks if we maintain the current rate of around 2 thousand a day.
And with every state run by Republicans re-opening way too early, we’re not going to be maintaining that rate much longer.

White men are apparently gigantic pussies, if this thread is any indication.
It’s ok, I can say that because I’m white and a pussy. Just not such a big pussy that I can’t handle a joke about white men without reacting like I just got kicked in the balls.

Can somebody that speaks Trump/FoxNews help me understand on a legal basis how Flynn is exonerated in any of this? Isn't he charged with lying to the FBI? Does this change that he lied to the FBI? I'm confused by all of the Flynn exoneration talk.
You see, lying to the FBI is only a crime if they don’t know you’re lying when you tell them the lie. If they know you’re lying then it’s just double counter subconscious espionage and it’s all good.

None. Cops try to catch witnesses in lies all the time.
Bitching about this is like bitching that a warrant application had hearsay in it.

I'm listening to people complaining about the folks in line at the food bank. About how 'those' people don't need the food when they have other things, like nice cars, etc. The 'undeserving' and unemployed poor will be trotted out like the homeless, the sanctuary cities, the 'undeserving' urban centers, the caravans of asylum seekers, and all the other sponges just waiting to soak up GOP voters' money that GOP voters want to spend upon jorts, chocolate fountains, and pedicure treatments. So what if they don't have health care for when they get the COVID from working at the Feed Barn, MAGA is for winners and if someone works at the Feed Barn they should've made a better choice to pull themselves up by their flip flops like the MAGA supporter did.
Those are the conversations going around. "Lazy bums that didn't want to work in the first place and now 'they' just want handout after handout."
Sigh. Sometimes, I just wish I could lose it and slap people.
The people who bitch about "those people" being lazy are actually the laziest fuckers in America.

The whole point of reopening so quickly is to force people off of unemployment. This isn’t hard to grasp.

Everyone already knows that. It doesn't mean Russia didn't meddle in the election in an effort to get Donald Trump elected. You can read all about it in the Senate Intelligence Report.
It also doesn't mean that Donald Trump and his campaign didn't knowingly cooperate with Russia's efforts. Which makes him a traitor, which I care about a little more than the fact that James Comey, who can eat many barrels of shit, was a dumbass.

Texas Re-Opening Announced
in Cloak Room
Posted
Not really sure what all of this "let's have a conversation" is supposed to mean. We're a republic because we're larger than a village and thus have too many people to make direct democracy work. So, we elect a bunch of people who are supposed to figure out what to do in situations like this. They're supposed to have personnel and protocols in place to weigh the costs and benefits of various alternatives and determine the best course of action. But nearly every place Republicans are in charge, they've largely decided to wing it. To the extent they really care about anything, they've been motivated by helping businesses, but they don't even really want to think through what would help businesses. It's just too much work for them and apparently thinking hurts their brains, so they just decided to go with a shitload of wishful thinking.
The answer to the problem wasn't going to be easy, but it was always simple: Lock down for a time, use that time to surge hospital capacity, the production of necessary supplies and equipment, and test and trace capabilities, and develop effective logistics to ensure that everything gets delivered to those who need it. While locked down, the government could backstop everything: suspend mortgages and rent, guarantee payroll, etc. A real testing and tracing system would give people confidence that, when things re-opened, the risk of going back out in the world would be minimal and more federal aid at that point would've been unnecessary.
Of course, that all would have required competent messaging from our officials explaining why we need to lock down and what that time will give us the opportunity to do, and real diligence from government officials at all levels to make sure all that shit got done. However, Republican officials in most states are simply incapable of doing anything with competence and the ones that are capable of competence recognize that actually doing their job competently would put the lie to their decades of propaganda about how government can't do anything right. So this is what we got. The closest we've come to accomplishing any of what we needed to do while locked down is that we've ramped up hospital capacity (though it's not clear if we've done enough) and established a black market by which cities, states, and hospitals can acquire a fraction of the supplies they need at extortionate costs, which go into the pockets of politically connected GOP donors. There's been no real effort to establish a capable testing and tracing system that would allow us to safely re-open in phases. You still can't find any fucking hand sanitizer on store shelves.
Nevertheless, we're trying to YOLO this shit and using the threat of cutting off unemployment benefits to force retail and service workers back to jobs in dangerous conditions, in the hope that business will just magically return to normal for everyone if we pretend that it's all done. But very few people are actually going to pretend. Many of us are going to stay in our homes most to all of the time. So those stores and restaurants that now have to re-open because they've got to pay rent are going to be incurring normal operating costs but only bringing in a fraction of the revenue they need, because most people don't feel safe to go out. And those people who do go out are going to spread covid not just among themselves but also to those we've forced back to work, many of whom live with at-risk family members, and to the medical professionals who inevitably have to treat them. So we're going to see a new spike in cases, when it happens everyone will panic again, and we'll probably end up shutting shit back down again for an indeterminate length of time. And we'll probably repeat the same stupid pattern until a vaccine is produced in sufficient quantities to inoculate most people. This slapdash bullshit doesn't help anyone because it's not a choice between keeping everyone healthy and keeping the economy healthy. If we had done it right, we could've endured a few months of pain and then recovered relatively quickly. Instead, we're going to see a death toll in the hundreds of thousands and the economy is going to sink into a depression. All because Republicans don't want anyone to realize that anything better was actually possible.
