Maybe trump is such a retard because the weight of what he has been told about the universe weighs so heavily on his mind and being told not to talk about it

I'm just being optimistic here. At this point aliens coming down and glassing America is best case scenario. Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims are all pretty much prepared to take the knee and worship out alien overlords. It's just the Christians in western countries who think we're actually worth a drat without putting in the effort to advance our species

Edit: glassing not blessing. But that's weirdly poetic

China being an industry leader in solar module sales is by virtue of quantity combined with passable accuracy, not actual innovations in production. The generation of that solar farm is eclipsed by smaller ones elsewhere, and I'm sure if the air quality was better, they'd have higher yield, but :effort:

Also any hard numbers tied directly to the CCP is questionable; these are the same people who transport fresh air to air quality testing locations to fool the sensors.

I don't know what's going on anymore, but I'm guessing we're in for another shutdown come 2/8. The only difference is that CHIP is no longer something the Republicans can hold hostage.

Or maybe the Dems are betting that Trump won't sign the CR. It's entirely possible. Because he's stupid.

Am I just misunderstanding this whole process or isn't this a good thing and not the Dems caving in any way? They are allowing the government to function for three more weeks, ensured the funding of CHIP, and if a Republican plan is tabled to deport the Dreamers, they can shut down again after those three weeks?

How is this caving?

It does happen, but it's far more likely to happen to a black church, synagogue, or mosque. And of course, as much as these wannabe tier 1 operators want to believe the contrary, they're far more likely to hurt themselves or a bystander.

I agree with you in that I don't think it's caving. The issue is that the Dems are signing the same agreement that the Senate held forth on Friday, with the only addition being Mitch McConnell's gentleman's agreement that they will make an immigration deal. Basically, there's no guarantee Mitch will keep his word, and people see this as Dems giving up on DREAMers. I see it as Dems not wanting to be painted as holding children's healthcare hostage in order to protect illegal immigrants, even though the Republicans were the ones who let the program's funding end in the first place.

Basically, it boils down to this:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
