Now Chris coons is talking about how we have to stay cuz we're about to win. And in a defense of Syria he mentions Russia and China somehow and never says anything about us just letting the kurds die if we leave.

Four more years of a black president and the prospect of a woman president later and enough American brains were sufficiently broken enough to forget the whole “joke” part while really latching on to the “vile racist” part, and that’s how we got here.

This myth will never die. Trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than Mitt Romney. There is no ascendant white supremacist movement in this country. What we're seeing is the consolidation of existing racist sentiment politically as well as on social media. The problem is that our country's electoral system is setup to give reactionaries all the tools they need to keep themselves in power.

Even if Reality Winner is a gently caress up and sending her to jail was the proscribed legal punishment for her "crime," I think sending her to prison is unjust. She was gonna get drummed out of the government either way which is a harsh enough punishment in terms of her future employability.

I mean, leaking a top secret document should carry the punishment of being fired, fined, and like... what... 6 months in jail? Probation for cooperation and a plea of guilty?

It was literally one document. She shouldn't still be in jail for that, drat skippy.

I mean that sort of depends on what you leaked and why. But yeah she really shouldn't be in jail imo, it's really unnecessary.

Yeah, the worst part about the whole thing is what I already pointed out... the bombshell in that report was already public knowledge. She literally leaked an open secret and is in jail right now... why? She's a political prisoner because Trump needed to "come down hard" on leakers.

When the democrats get into the house, do they remove the $1.6b originally in the CR? Feels like they should, not sure why they agreed to any in the first place

They didn't. The CR passed by the Senate includes no additional funding for the border wall.

On Friday, Pence, Mulvaney and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and adviser, offered Schumer a package that would include roughly $1.6 billion in funding for a border barrier, but no money for new construction. Schumer has not agreed and has instead stuck to his guns on flat funding for the Department of Homeland Security at $1.3 billion for fencing. Republicans have also talked about adding hundreds of millions of dollars more for border security, though Democrats have resisted that as well.

america is far more progressive than republicans, the media, or even democrats treat it and you're right the system overwhelmingly favoring white racists casts this narrative that america is a right wing nation. but it is still depressing that at least 60 million americans are racist authoritarians.

That was the first and only olive branch the democrats ever offered and it was rejected immediately by the white house and then the Senate passed a "clean CR" through February.

Can the IRS even accept tax forms if it is shut down?

Most likely they are going to be called essential so that the filing season isn't delayed. It already won't start until February because of all the tax law changes and refunds aren't paid until mid February thanks to one of Paul Ryan's laws.
