Say what you will about W-era anchor baby paranoia, but at least that administration didn't actually track pregnant people.
Okay, true. They were plenty racist on many issues, but they weren't this this racist. So even I'd be a bit surprised.
I think the constitutionality is pretty sound.Okay, but I still maintain that this compact would be found unconstitutional if ever seriously challenged. Moreover, it lacks teeth because a state can unilaterally withdraw.
Saw this making the rounds today and thought it was relevant to the conversation.
Also, Beto seems to be all sizzle and no steak.

The idea that Chelsea Clinton -- who literally wanted Ilhan to be more precise with her language (and someone who is a converted Jew) has rhetoric that somehow inspired the mass shooting is... weak.

Not really; it's one of Neil's best songs but it doesn't get the play that "Rocking in the Free World" or "Heart of Gold"; even its predecessor, Alabama seems to get more attention, if only for it inspiring "Sweet Home Alabama".2. Should I be embarrassed that I had to look that song up? It's before my time unfortunately. Sk8ter Boi, on the other hand, came out while I was in high school.... and plus someone here was saying Trump was gonna call Beto a "skater boy."
I also find it weak that they used to the video on twitter to share their venmo and ask for support.The idea that Chelsea Clinton -- who literally wanted Ilhan to be more precise with her language (and someone who is a converted Jew) has rhetoric that somehow inspired the mass shooting is... weak.
I have yet to read about this, but I'll remind you these are the people who didn't think to track child separationsThis maddow show...trump admin tracked individual girls' pregnancies of asylum seekers and detainees, including how far along and whether it was consensual, assault, etc. And whether abortion was requested.
It's led by the one guy who was the anti-abortion crusader that Trump put in charge of this. The court blocked him from doing this after a few months, but he kept going for several months after the court order.I have yet to read about this, but I'll remind you these are the people who didn't think to track child separations
What happened now?The idea that Chelsea Clinton -- who literally wanted Ilhan to be more precise with her language (and someone who is a converted Jew) has rhetoric that somehow inspired the mass shooting is... weak.
Someone in a Bernie 2020 T-shirt harrased Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the mass shooting in NZ.
Chelsea Clinton went to a vigil for the victims of the terrorist attack and she got screamed at by someone in a Bernie 2020 shirt about how because she had been critical of Ilhan Omar, Chelsea bore responsibility for what happened in New Zealand
Wtf, I bet Bernie ain't even gonna comment on it.Someone in a Bernie 2020 T-shirt harrased Chelsea Clinton at a vigil for the mass shooting in NZ.

Part of me feels like its a bit of a conflict of interest for a candidate in the 2020 election to be signing this kind of legislature even if its something I fundamentally agree with
And yet, people claim it's Hillary fans that can't get over 2016.
Never even thought about that aspect. Wearing campaign gear to vigil is just beyond weird.I find it hard to believe even a die-hard berniebro would be so ghoulish as to wear his campaign gear to a vigil for a day old massacre just to accost political enemies in a way that seems to accomplish nothing but fostering further division.
But I suppose given what's just happened, an expectation of basic human decency couldn't be more unreasonable. Fuck this guy and everything he represents.

I dunno, I guess the alternative is to assume either Chelsea lied, or the person reporting it did.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just posting this so people can watch the video, if they want to:

But this hasn't stopped Sanders' enthusiastic supporters from taking matters into their own hands. This week, a Sanders fan named Spencer Thayer created the "Superdelegate Hit List," a website to compile and share the contact information of superdelegates, so they can be persuaded. It is not affiliated with the Sanders campaign, but a campaign spokesman didn't respond to multiple requests for comment.
"The superdelegate system is rigged to protect establishment politicians and shut down populism," Thayer said. "Superdelegates, by their very nature, diminish the value of the vote by giving an elite constituency of representatives, party leaders, and even lobbyists extra power. The Superdelegate List exists to help voters challenge this undemocratic system. Contacting our elected representatives and party leaders and holding them to account is an American tradition. This is the only way to keep the voter base from being patronized or ignored."
Superdelegates have been hearing from Sanders supporters for months — and it's not always pleasant. Akilah Ross Ensley is with the Young Democrats of America, and she's a superdelegate who plans to support Clinton. She has to check her professional Facebook page several times a day to deal with all the messages and posts.
He is amazing. He'll be the only male primary candidate that I am going to donate any money to.
I'll have to brainstorm some ways to get him to be more popular among my social circle.
I had no doubt about the reporting, and I didn't mean to imply any hostility to your message. It's just wearying trying to figure out the authentically disturbed Bernie fans from the trolls and bad actors. At least the friend seemed to realize the outburst was an incredibly bad look and tried to take it down.
Yup, Joaquin's the good one so this is a good get.
GOP's going to drop-kick the Trumps so fast if he loses next year. 72 hours after the election is called he'll be un-personed on Fox News. He doesn't have the real money that would be needed to effectively take over the GOP.
The problem is that Trump exposed where the base is, and so when the plutocrat overlords try to move the GOP on into a post-Trump age it's going to be a hard sell. The base isn't going to want to go back to Romneyism and a lack of enthusiasm will tell.
If Buttigieg wins, the pendulum is going to swing back so hard we'll elect a Silent Generation KKK grand wizard in 2028.
Nine years from now and the demographic is going to shift a lot because of angry old white people dying and more new citizens and younger voters. I'm not worried so much about a giant swing in 2028 as I am in us making it there.
The entire thread just needs to be nuked from orbit.
