It's a one-two punch of "the Democrats need to be focusing on the demographic that matters, people who will likely be dead within a decade" and "my father has been a lifelong Republican voter who only just now decided that MAYBE he'll vote Democrat, that totally makes him an ally to you and if you disagree with this you're a stupid loving idiot moron" that really makes that one stand out. Also she calls everyone who disagrees with her "pumpkin" in a way that makes it abundantly clear that she's just as much of a shithead as her Republican voting dad likely is.

I don't think Romney, Haley, etc. are actively campaigning against Trump, but it's likely that the GOP is realizing that Trump might not make it through his presidency, either by impeachment, resignation, or declining health reasons, and are already trying to position themselves to take advantage of that vacuum.

Because we should definitely generalize from "your dad" who is clearly a piece of poo poo. I mean Democrats should definitely be highly focused on the piece of poo poo vote.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

He also has legit mental illness issues, and seriously needs someone to take care of him. Like make sure he gets his meds, don't let him twitter without making sure he has taken his meds, don't let him hang out with people who think trump has anything positive to think about.

Idk, I see it as equally likely that he married super loving rich and has been surrounded by FYGM to the point that it’s crept into his worldview.

I think that's plausible, but none of the people who have very mildly criticized Trump in the GOP have a future leading that party now. Some random crank like Tom Cotton is more believable in 2020 than Mitt Romney.

Given Kanye's previous rants about debt, I wouldn't be surprised if marrying a Kardashian had the side benefit of giving him a decent financial lifeline.

The Kardashians get a little more prestige in return.

Kylie Jenner might be worth $900 million as well, which is arguably the sign of a sick society.

TIJUANA, Mexico — U.S. authorities fired tear gas into Mexico during the first hours of the new year to repel about 150 migrants who tried to breach the border fence in Tijuana.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement later Tuesday that the gas was used to target rock throwers apart from the migrants who were trying to cross.

“No agents witnessed any of the migrants at the fence line, including children, experiencing effects of the chemical agents, which were targeted at the rock throwers further away,” the statement said.

An Associated Press photographer saw at least three volleys of gas launched onto the Mexican side of the border near Tijuana’s beach that affected the migrants, including women and children, as well as journalists. The AP saw rocks thrown only after U.S. agents fired the tear gas.

The agency said agents saw “toddler sized children” being passed over concertina wire with difficulty. It said its agents could not assist the children because of the rocks being thrown. Agents responded with smoke, pepper spray and tear gas, it said. The AP journalist also saw plastic pellets fired by U.S. agents.

The agency said 25 migrants were detained while others crawled back into Mexico through a hole under the fence.

Customs and Border Protection said that under its use of force policy the incident would be reviewed by its Office of Professional Responsibility.

Migrants who spoke with AP said they arrived in Tijuana last month with the caravan from Honduras.

The caravan, which left Honduras in mid-October, grew to more than 6,000 members during its month-and-a-half trek north. It has been a constant target of President Donald Trump, who referred to it frequently in the run-up to U.S. mid-term elections in November.

Many of the migrants are waiting in Tijuana for a chance to apply for asylum in the U.S., but there was a backlog before the caravan’s arrival and the wait is expected to be many months. Others have found jobs in Mexico and tried to settle there.

In a previous incident, U.S. agents launched tear gas across the border after some migrants tried to breach the border following a peaceful march in Tijuana on Nov. 26. Hundreds of migrants who were downwind of the gas were affected.

Trump is currently locked in a fight with congressional Democrats over funding for the border wall that he wants to build. The stalemate has led to a partial government shutdown.

They fire tear gas at kids and then blame the rock throwers that responded for causing it. Just another day at our Southern Border. As a resident of San Diego, I'm sure glad our president saw fit to escalate this whole situation to this point! There were far less kids getting tear gassed before and now it's yuuuuge.

Honestly I think Trump will have a better chance in the 2020 general election if he has a couple GOP challengers to poo poo on during the primary. It's what he's best at, gives him some more rallies and debates to babble at, gets his base riled up and expands upon it.

The second most aggravating thing about the past two years (after Trump himself) are these criminal Republican NeverTrumpers who are gaining fans because they are Republicans who will yell HOW DARE YOU SIR at things that Trump does while not actually opposing them, just how Trump does it. In a just world we would have never heard from ex-Bush people like Kristol and Frum ever again, but for some reason now if you get any kind of position near a political figure your career will never die (see also Corey Lewandowski).

Remember that it wasn't any of the other horrible things Trump did like a completely arbitrary trans soldier ban that made Mattis resign, it was him wanting to pull out of Syria immediately.

lol, so many boomers think it's the Democrats responsibility to become the new GOP since they don't like Trump and we should be doing everything we can to get their vote because it's hard-coded into their DNA that they are the most important people in the world.

Her dad probably had a bad experience with a server being "rude" at Olive Garden, gave them the ol "I'll take my business elsewhere!", and now complains all the time at Carraba's that they don't have good breadsticks.

edit: Especially funny since you know this guy is going to vote straight ticket R for any other candidate except for maybe, just maybe, the presidential candidate.
