US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

Presidential debates are all ignorant sanctimony and no substance, no one here would disagree. I would be more interested in hearing about McAllen and your friend who got detained for 3 months.

Ok, fair is fair, I don't consider this your regular posting style, and I know you were away for a while. There have been a lot of threads over the past couple years that have devolved into some variation of this argument, and it's really enough.

xp

let me devolve for you, M

Immigrant rights groups must take full advantage of liberals' raucous disgust with Trump's deportations before the next Dem president is elected and liberals go back to sleep.

hoos is actually one of the few itt that actually gets out there and does activist shit (unlike myself)

Morbs, if this keeps people focused and sparks further change, I think that's great. I've already stated that I'm worried that yesterday's EO is going to lead to diminished attention.

If someday, Democrats find themselves back in power, then by all means, hold their feet to the fire. I just don't see any real benefit to the endless rub-ins for depressed Clinton supporters at this particular point in time.

ums, that's absolutely true

When I get aggro, I call my mother to yell at her about the whole family voting Trump. Yesterday was a bad day so of course I called her. She brought up Hillary. I was like "HOW DARE YOU"! My poor immigrant mother. I should send her a new purse.

Make a donation in her name tbh

When I was considering trolling my family on our last holiday together immediately after the election I almost made a donation to BLM in my dad's name. But thought he might have a stroke.

would have been a stroke of genius imo

make up a certificate that names her a lieutenant in good standing in the antifa supersoldier army, get it framed and have it delivered to her house imo

very psyched to have a piece in that issue of TIME

(it's about the beyoncé and jay-z album)

nice!

xpost My mom would not appreciate any of that. Despite being in the US for over 45 years it's like she is fresh off the boat. She only watches asian TV now that Donohue and soap operas are off the air.

xpost NICE!

congrats maura!!

excellent maura.
get several copies, frame them and given them as xmas presents.

I know optics mean zero to this administration but how are they so bad at it

"Let them eat cake."

What the actual complete and total fuck right there.

classic Antoinetteism

xxp haha

Also, congrats, maura!

But seriously rn.

Great piece, Maura. http://time.com/5316426/everything-is-love-beyonce-jay-z/

Does Melania not know how to read and her stylist is trolling her???

god part of me is thinking she did that intentionally to sabotage her shitty husband, i mean i have no idea what the actual hell kind of other reason she would wear that.

maybe she doesn't read her clothes the way some ppl don't know lyrics

truly Melania peaked when we all thought she was dead.

the original Melania is dead

killed by a cyber-bully no doubt

maybe she doesn't read her clothes the way some ppl don't know lyrics

lmao off that jacket is real? i saw it for a second and thought it was a shop

her spokeswoman already commented on it, could've just said "FAKE NEWS" but now they're fucked

i want to know who made the 'welcome first lady' signs for this unexpected visit

That LA Times tweet is a thing of deep and abiding beauty.

Border patrol agents question drivers at I-95 checkpoint about citizenship

is america's vacationland is getting more scrutiny, or is this normal?

The road north out of the Rio Grande Valley & into open Texas chokes through Falfurrias, where there's been a CBP checkpoint since before I was born; I'd never seen a surprise-checkpoint elsewhere til this admin started.

One would think that the very fact of this administration's existence is becoming a deterrent to immigration of any sort. Not to mention citizenship.

not to mention population reduction as I have considered more than once the advantages of being dead in the last 1 1/2 years

can confirm that the Border Patrol in Texas in the 90s would pull us over leaving Big Bend and challenge the citizenship of everyone in the car with a Hispanic name.

Politico reports:

National security adviser John Bolton will visit Moscow next week to discuss a potential meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the White House said on Thursday morning.

“On June 25-27, U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton will meet with U.S. allies in London and Rome to discuss national security issues, and travel to Moscow to discuss a potential meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin,” National Security Council spokesman Garrett Marquis said in a tweet.

lol this is actually real

Very evocative, imo. I can vividly imagine scalping that dude.

why do these guys always try to avatar themselves into the most interesting man in the world?

*reads conservo agitprop*

yknow the avatar isn't really his biggest prob but yeah seems correlative

i already saw that scalping scene in Westworld

don't see how "I REALLY DONT CARE. DO U?" isn't the July thread title right now
