The USA Political Thread

Gillebrand doesn't stand a chance of a snowball in hell of winning anything. I also didn't see her comment in context so I won't pass judgement on what she reportedly said one way or the other.

Nobiss said she wanted to note "a lot of these people are indigenous to this land, and that border is cutting them off."

"I know," Gillibrand said. "That's why the wall is so absurd and hurtful."

One could also make the argument that republicans being pulled so far right that rational people are leaving. That's been a "thing" for a couple of years now... Unfortunately, moderates don't seem to be trendy right now.

No. Trump is winning over never trump conservatives based on policy.

ICE doesn't need to be abolished, but it needs to be reformed and needs improved oversight. Don't get rid of it, but fix what's wrong. Make it better. Or maybe "Be Best."

Yeah... Kamala and Beto disagree with you. "Needs reform" is a compromise to pacify the sheep.

Reminder: Democrats are not "my" party. I am an independent, not a registered democrat. I vote candidates and issues, not party lines.

Remember: Kamala Harris has been chosen by the corrupt media complex to be the next DNC candidate for President of the USA.

Truly appaling and a throwback to the Stalin era. His own words.
What do you think he is trying to achieve ?
When the most powerful man in the country constantly depicts the free press, adversaries or adversarial people, non-aligned citizens as enemies of the people, there is an expectation that someone will feel entitled to take justice in their own hands and do something. This is not just mere intimidation (something that a sitting president is not supposed to be doing). He's daring somebody to do something.

Even more worrying is the normalization of hate speech. So many people in America continue to support this guy and condone his behavior, think this is acceptable or at least tolerable, possibly justified.
You see guys, even an old democracy can quickly fade into fascism. Even America. This is what you voted for.

Justice Department preparing for Mueller report as early as next week

Chump's freaking out should escalate even more. I guess his followers will as well.

-------------
Cohen gets his prison entrance date delayed until May 6.

He said he will testify before end of February. That's just 8 more days. That was delayed already a couple of times. So we still have that to look forward too, unless you're a Trump/his supporter.

Are there any more substaniated news articles than this? Non NPR? Or undisclosed sources only, speculators, etc.

SA does not deserve Nuclear technology IMO and that has nothing to do with Kashoggi, nor any reason for the reporter to mention that.

Looking at some early polls, seems like these are the top 6 for the Dems, in no particular order:

Bernie Sanders
Joe Biden
Kamala Harris
Elizabeth Warren
Beto O'Rourke
Amy Klobuchar

Real Clear Politics also has Booker in the mix - https://www.realclearpolitics.com/e..._democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html

But that's not going to happen.

The hate speech needs stop immediately, websites that promote it as thier founding reason of existence should be shut down IMO

Freedom of speech and expression is one thing, hate speech and malice towards people is a whole nother thing IMO

Right now, he's not actually polling well vs. other candidates, Biden at top, then Sanders, Harris and Warren, Beto is like in 5th. But it's early. Debates will decide it.

I hope they’re not going to end up with Sanders - too extreme to unite the country, and too many dodgy things about him that are being ignored. And his voting record isn’t what you might think...

If it’s him vs another 4 of Donny I’ll vote for him, but I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Tucker vs the historian - too funny.

Parents Outraged After Man Who Identifies As Woman Assaults 10-Year-Old Daughter In Women’s Bathroom, Gets Slap On The Wrist

"Rather than being sent to jail, Dolatowski has been banned from having contact with children and given community service and electronic tagging."

Good think we only have 12 years left of this crap. Peak levels of insanity.

TL;DR
Mom demands to be listed as Dad on the babies birth certificate.

In Great Britain courts there is a fight in the works where a transgender man wants to be identified as the “Father” of a newborn. The difference here is the individual bringing forth the suit gave birth to the baby, and they are declaring that being listed on the birth certificate as the mother leads to all manner of offense. This takes us down to a realm of social desires eclipsing basic biology.

That my friends is what happens when you take crazy people seriously instead of telling the to screw off and go use the right bathroom.

Does anyone think the Muller report will have anything serious in it? I think if it would have been leaked by now if it did.

I'm pretty sure Pres Trump will commute Roger Stone's sentence if he's convicted. Maybe Manafort too? How does President Trump bury the NY dems? Dig up a few bodies?

10-15 years ago these people would probably have been sent to a mental institution if they talked and acted like that in public.... then along came the progressive snowflake asses and this is what we have now!

Ok, stumbling through the negative irrelevant political commentary in the cummings document, it appears that China and Russia are courting SA for nuclear power already, so if they don’t buy from the US, they will from them. So, realistically nothing is stopping them except the Democratic committee short sighted political motivations and looking to block it.

The pre-inagural meetings occured, so GE, Excelon and others that would provide US Jobs. Siemens though are not and they are German multi national. They the SA’s might ask the Ukrainians that built Chernobyl or Japan and the Fukashima groups for consulting how NOT to F up. Lol.

Nope. CNN would have had it leaked to them months ago, but now they will spin it all up. Don Lemon the expert of the Resist movement of course.

Yep. And missed oppotunity if Siemens and Merkel stick their nose in it. They cant wait to send supplies to Iran, hence their objections to the stupid crooked Obama Kerry giveaway deal.
