This is the timeline when Private Prisons turn into Death Camps, isn't it?

If you think about it, that would cover all their bases. Racial minorities, political dissidents, drug offenders, the Poors... And all in a way that Middle America can handwave away; nobody gives a poo poo about the rights of criminals.

Edit: They'll probably use biowarfare too, and then blame other countries for sending "sick refugees and illegals."

We are not going to have death camps in the U.S., not even under Trump. The thread needs to stop sounding like FREEP, leave that to the Venom Snake thread.

The far-right will join in the protest. They seem really pissed off about this. Doesn't go far enough.

does she have a chance of winning?

She will get to the second round but the general consensus is that she will lose because France has a very big cultural thing of the centre uniting against extremes. In 2002 when Le Pen's dad got to the second round, Sarkozy got 80% of the vote.

On the other hand, 2016 has made me pretty skittish about accepting basic political facts still work because, y'know, nothing matters.

A couple of the parts of the house bill read like incidental expenditures to me but that will probably get hashed out over the next 24-48 hours

beep boop this is definitely going to work fine.

Legislation affecting the budget get scored by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Whether it subtracts or adds (like this will) to the budget, will effect how people react to it, while giving an expert summary of its costs to taxpayers.

it's also required for the bill to work via reconciliation in the senate. There's a bunch of weirdness in the reconciliation rules about the house bill and reconciliation and what they're trying to pull, but I'm not enough of an expert to know what is or isn't okay.
