Right-wingers are using immigration to stoke fears of the brown horde and get elected to office on the promise of stopping immigration. Therefore, to defeat the right-wing parties in Europe, we must stop immigration. ... I'm sorry, but didn't we literally try this in Vietnam? "We destroyed the village in order to save it"?

Die hard career centrist continues to slowly pull to the right like current bad dems. Sadly it's just what Hillary is.

McNamara on steroids, giving Westmoreland a blank check and pushing the attack after Tet, then capturing Hanoi in eight weeks. Which would then lead to 10 years of a communist insurgency before President McGovern withdrew US forces in 1979.

Immigration at pace is destabilizing Europe. The more immigration, the more pushback. Not defending Hildawg, but it is a problem with no easy answer. As climate change continues, this will get worse. The calls to close Europe will get louder, and they might just end up with a wall, whether physical or in policy. It’s already the largest inter-European issue.

I'll just have my pet Congress-critter give some speeches about reaching across the aisle or some poo poo and let it all get sorted out later.

Mere days after President Smoothbrain basically tweeted “If global warming is real, then why is it so cold? #checkmatelibs ” his own government came out and said that not only is climate change real, but its effects are getting worse with catastrophes becoming more and more common. Whichever species that manages to survive humanity and what we’ve done to the planet is going to write about this day and age as our “as Rome burned” moment, although they’re probably going to reclassify it as “as New York melted” or something.

So if you have one from a normal bank then you're probably covered.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/24/us/alabama-mall-hoover-shooting/index.html Good Guy with a Gun, and also active duty Army home on leave gets shot in the head by police, who then refuse to give him any first aid while he bleeds out on the ground. Oh yeah they also let the actual shooter walk the gently caress out of the mall.
