Trump sticks to demand for border wall funding as shutdown drags onquote:The Trump White House maintained its hard line on funding for a border wall in a letter Sunday to congressional leaders, demanding $5.7 billion for construction of a barrier as the partial government shutdown heads into its third week after weekend talks. Note that the Post got the letter like instantly, and that the administration is trying to bargain, shifting their position and offering (really badly structured) side offers in an attempt to split Dem support. The WH is cracking, and they're making it obvious that they're cracking.

She will have 4 years in Congress by then and she'd have the vote of every under-35 in the state. I think if she primaried his useless rear end it would be a coup of epic proportions.

Then she'll become more powerful than any GOPer or centrist (not 100% overlap) could possibly imagine. Really though chill. Leave that worry to her security. There's absolutely nothing you can do.

Peacoffee posted:I was mostly referring to the provisions under states of emergency, drug trafficking, and border security, which as far as I know still sweep a lot of decision making into the executive branch. Although it's less that I expect these laws would uphold how they are used in justifying actions, and more that there's a lot of arguments someone could make with the patriot act that have yet to materialize in all this time. It's a pretty big stretch to simply declare an emergency, use it to order the military to do all sorts of normal civilian government things in spite of public opposition, and then expect both the courts and congress to just wipe their hands of the issue. If you accept that kind of loophole around democratic government, there isn't much that can't be driven through it. It's basically just a dictatorship. On the other hand, President AOC could just declare a public health emergency and institute a national health system by fiat, and no one could say a word against it.

This really isn't surprising; I expect there are already deepfakes of AOC and others already being passed around. And there's nothing anyone can really do about it. In this regard, the internet was a mistake.

Bush provided final confirmation to EU diplomats that the status of the representation had in fact been downgraded. Diplomats believe the downgrade must have been implemented in late October or early November.
