Thread on Fyre Festival here. poo poo now has mainstream exposure and the U.S. Embassy is even involved to get people home. https://twitter.com/Iron_Spike/status/857868428752953344 The one-week CR cleared the House on a 380-32 vote, heads to the Senate where they've fast-tracked it for a quick vote later. Edit: Senate passed CR by voice vote, now at Donnie's desk for signature. https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/857988087758114819 And the US is for direct talks with Best Korea, per Tillerson. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/857965333180821505 The US is no longer for direct talks with Best Korea, per Tillerson. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Apr 28, 2017 |

  Note: "BIPOC," is, "Black, Indigenous and Person Of Color." Clinton lost/Trump won due to a combination of Democratic support collapsing across the board and Trump achieving meager gains across the board. Every demographic played a part.

I think most of Trump's gain in minority votes came from Hispanics. Pundits misread Hispanic American views on immigration by a mile, assuming some sort of weird unified racial consciousness. There's a significant fraction of Hispanic Americans who really hate the concept of illegal immigration.

The North Koreans won't dismantle their nuclear program without getting something in return. By saying there won't be negotiations before they scrap their nukes you are basically ruling out diplomatic options entirely, right? Or perhaps Tillerson and co. believe that diplomacy is impossible. That Kim won't give up his toys because he thinks (probably justified) that only having nukes will make him safe from America (or even China) deciding to do regime in North Korea. Either way, it's a bad sign all around.

Anecdotally, the most outspoken fan of Trump that I know is a second generation American of Mexican descent. He voted for Trump purely based on let me keep my guns, and gently caress the illegals. His parents came from Mexico legally, so gently caress you got mine is fully in effect.

Hot Karl Marx posted:I'm lazy and tweets have a small abstract. Plus I like giving credit to people who say something funny/smart I am thoroughly unoriginal and with the onset of FAKE NEWS, it's good to link sources. Plus, on PC, there's a cool forum function that blows up the tweet as a picture (which is why you really shouldn't quote twitter links). As for Best Korea, the Trump administration's policy is the same as all of their other policies: react. They have no strategy, no plan, and no overarching goal to try and hit. poo poo just happens and the administration reacts. That's why Tillerson flip-flopped in a day and went back to Obama's "pre-step" policy and just renamed it "concrete steps". Hurry up and wait.

There's a significant fraction of Hispanic Americans who really hate the concept of illegal immigration. I think almost everyone read that group wrong. My wife is first generation American, her father and mother immigrated from Mexico. They HATED illegal immigrants. Like with a passion. Also, either side could really "sweep" and election if they just made very minor changes. Like if the Dem's would lay off the gun control debate, they might get more Rep's heading their way. And if the Rep's got off the abortion bandwagon some Dem's might swing. Either side could swing huge numbers with one bill proposal. Put solar panels on EVERYTHING. It could be spun as a infrastructure, green energy, jobs, and defense bill all in one. It could work for either party, and bring in others from the opposing faction. The talking heads could spin that bill for days, energy independence, distributed energy grid = less chance of crippling attack, jobs for the production/installation/maintenance of the panels, green energy, etc. They just aren't thinking, on either side.

Oh you sweet naive little child, tell me more about how Republicans could easily sell moving to renewable energy  It's not like the Republican base has a massive hatred for renewable energy as a concept, to the point of attempting to cripple our national r+d pipeline and straight up passing blocking legislation to keep us from using renewables or anything

Homeowner solar power also scares the gently caress out of utilities and their lobbyists. There are already laws in place in certain cities that force solar homeowners to STILL pay a utility company some minimum cost, even when they're actually sending more electricity back to the utility than what they use from the utility. To some extent, that makes some sense, since utilities would go into deathspirals if they actually lost too many paying customers. Still, the utility lobbyists will be all over Washington DC before any semblance of a bill that big gets close to passage, Democrats or Republican, so it's really just not a purely Republican thing.

Either party that tries this would have to come after a purge of sorts. I never understood why people tend to vote the incumbent back into office all the time. You would think that there would be more turnover. Congressman/Senator/Mayor/Whatever didn't do what they said they would do? Vote someone else in. As for how the Rep's could sell it, just focus on the the party lines of "energy independence", "strengthening our power infrastructure from attack", "lets make poo poo loads of money off of practically free energy", "think of how much oil we could sell to the other guy"

I think you did a better job hitting the nail on the head with the issue. The more I look at it, the more sense it makes to go a solar and/or nuclear route for power. (preference on solar with battery technology). So the solution is kill all lobbyists?
