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

Zara is also a notorious knockoff fast-fashion label that steals from artists all the time because they (the smaller artists) rarely have the ability to sue

good mourning!

Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!

lol red wave

no, carne, the Red Wave

Is he making yet another disparaging remark about women's whatevers?

So while we discuss Melania this horror passed in the House.

I don't know about 4D chess but every time they manage to divert everybody's attention to some witless malfeasance that would seem like a gradeschool, Politics 101 to avoid there seems to be something else they are trying to get done in the background.

that's every US administration ever

speaking of which

good

this is good praxis

Bet Nielson is wishing we hadn't pulled out of the UN Human Rights Council about now.

Good. More of that. And if they think this will just get better when this is over, they should be made wrong.

Was reading a good thread about Ivanka the other day, asking if she is jus deluded, and somehow thinks she really is thought of as reasonable, respected, or smart, or successful, and that this is all just a bad storm that will blow over and allow her to rejoin society as anything less than a pariah. These people are all going to hell, years before they die.

The civility-first assholes haven't quite run out of bad arguments yet

As I said before all the field ICE/border patrol I have met had histories of domestic abuse/violence allegations. I am sure if they abolish ICE, they can find jobs at their local PD.

Yerac, how many of these guys have you met and why??

x-post -- from Alfred's farm bill link

The House farm bill would also tighten eligibility criteria under SNAP — changes that would result in some 400,000 households losing SNAP benefits. Thousands of children would also risk losing their enrollment in free and reduced-price school meal programs.

I did secret/top secret/sci background checks for several years (irs, dea, fdic, national labs, military, border patrol, ICE, etc). And after 9/11 when they were hiring like crazy. It's complete bullshit that they let the administration/Kushner get away with lying on their forms so many times. We always told them to bring their passports to interviews so we could be sure of dates.

not sure we have a "marketing revolution" threa so I'm just gonna leave this here:

Comrades, we've got the guillotine.

This handcrafted pendant is perfect for that special revolutionary in your life. Each pendant is a single piece of solid sterling silver, to ensure its strength and durability, specially cast from a hand-fabricated, hand-textured model. The pendant is then oxidized and polished to bring out the fine wood-grain texture of the scaffolding, after which it is attached to a gorgeous 18" sterling silver chain with a toggle clasp. It will truly be the pièce de résistance of your jewelry collection. Resist in style.

Matching earrings available soon!

The *very* *petit* bourgeoisie better run. Off with their heads! Vive la Commune!

Is this the bill (SNAP) that had work requirements if your area had lower unemployment rates? ie. urban areas have lower unemployment so there are work requirements. Rural areas did not. You can guess the demographics.

makers of non-functional guillotine jewelry get the guillotine

These people are all going to hell, years before they die.

Most of these people will be working at think tanks, cable networks, universities etc, just like John Yoo and company.

It's like that, and that's the way it is.

No, that bill was in Michigan, iirc.

oops

I heard a great prediction of Trumps post-Trump from one of the Crooked Media guys, centered on Ivanka but applicable to all. Before all this Ivanka was useless but tolerated, like a lot of rich people. Rich now she is useful, but toxic. Post Trump, she and others will be useless *and* toxic, which will be new territory for these assholes.

one of the friends of Fox and Friends had this to say this morning:

“We can’t let everybody in that wants to be here. These are not, like it or not, these aren’t our kids. Show them compassion. But it’s not like he is doing this to the people of Idaho or Texas. These are people from another country and now people are saying that they are more important than people in our country who are paying taxes and who have needs as well.”

Really good article on the history of the Italian fascist slang that translates to "I don't care" or "I don't give a fuck."
https://overland.org.au/2018/06/a-brief-fascist-history-of-i-dont-care/

xp (Reopublicans on immigrant kids vs Americans)Sanctimonious, hypocritical bleuurgh. I thought those people paying taxes wanted to cut them as much as possible and get other people to and cut any protection for those other people that they could.
Also get other people to do the work which I thought was largely these individuals that are now getting prosecuted for trying to get into the country to get away from the horror that the US has helped create in their own countries. & so on.

No-one likes us, we don't care

What is this conservative brain disease that translates a plea for humane treatment into a shrill liberal edict to place the needs of the disadvantaged far above the needs of everyone else? 'now people are saying that they are more important than people in our country', GTFO you fucking moron.

What, I should give up my home for illegal immigrants? I should just sign my paycheck over to them, give them all the food from my pantry? This is what you're telling me I should do? I thought this was America, for heaven's sake!

Fuckin' Butthurt Nation.

GOP: Why won't you think of the US children that we are screwing over first.

exactly

yall if we just cut taxes on millionaires i'm pretty sure they will not only fix the water crisis in Flint but ALSO pay for the wall.

Millionaires are America's immune system, basically.

-actually- the problem is with the media. they're spending so much time covering melania's wardrobe, they can't help the children

through the looking glass

i was hoping i could float over here or something, it seems more or less the same, but worse

god it must be so fun to work for this jagoff

Background on Trump’s Space Force: he idly came up with the idea, the Pentagon thought it was dumb, so he got mad and just announced it was happening https://t.co/3qXrJNdx6Q

Obviously if this photo is not representing what it was supposed to be because the mother & child weren't actually separated after their arrest the whole protest against the current process must be invalid innit?
Shame the photographer isn't omniscient & not sure how he could have factchecked taht beforehand. BUt god hate to think that taking a stand not to separate mothers and young children has been shown to be a lie by this.
But Then again thankfully I'm not a republican so I don't think like that.

oh great, looking forward to snide morons pointing that out all over my FB feed

We really just need to learn how to shout 'FAKE NEWWWWWS!' right back at 'em.

Like, leave the well-argued appeals to reason to those arenas where there's a chance they might resonate. The GOP playing field is the elementary school playground, and every time we try to elevate the conversation with them, we lose.

re: stupidity of space force, trump "idly coming up with idea"

i've heard the idea of a new military space branch floated for a while now, outside of trump. Mike Rogers (R - AL) was promoting it heavily last year when he co-authored legislation to create a new "Space Corps" within the Air Force: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a27317/space-corps-military-branch-approved-by-house/

I will sign off on Space Force if we also get a Volcano Force and Ocean Floor Force who can be sent to other places where only an eight-year-old boy staging fantastic battles with his action figures might conceivably think we would ever need a military force.

By which I mean: fuck you Donald Trump (the general subtext of most things I say these days).

dinosaur force is STRONGEST xp
