It's also a matter that AOC is expected to maintain residency in her NYC district and DC. You know, two of the highest cost of living areas in the east coast at the same time.

It's really programmed into the system what type of people they want.

edit: we used to call the 40mm less-than-lethal things the "Dildo of Doom" and they were banned after like six weeks of being introduced in our area because some loving idiot shot it at a dude and collapsed their ribcage.

AOC's problem is that she needs to rent a studio in NYC and DC.

Or just live under her desk which apparently is popular for freshmen congressmen.

Not even rubber sometimes. The 80 year old lady that was killed by the police took a metal gas canister(and some glass shards because it was shot through her window) to the face.

Also, Macron's response is to dress up some more austerity as concessions and openly court the nazis:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46878317

quote:

In his letter, the president gives examples of the kind of question he thinks should be answered.

How can we make taxation fairer and more effective? What taxes should be reduced as a priority? Are there public services that could be abolished because they are not cost-effective?

On the issue of democratic representation - a hot topic for yellow-vests - he asks whether blank votes should be counted in elections, and if there should be greater use of referendums.

Unexpectedly he also raises immigration.

Do you think there should be annual quotas set by parliament? What do you propose in order to respond to the ongoing challenge?

The idea of a grand debate is not that bad in all honesty. Yeah Macron wants to take the country right, but the opportunity for the public to really have a space to come together to discuss and debate how to move forwards as a country is genuinely not a bad idea on its own, and it's certainly worth attempting. It's an opportunity for the whole public to refute his platform if nothing else.

Referendums are loving stupid when being on the losing side of an information war and only serve to give Nazis a platform that elevates their bullshit to seemingly legitimate policy proposals. This one is even worse than usual because Macron patiently waited several months for the Nazis to co-opt people's displeasure and is offering insulting fake concessions for the cost of living/fuel tax/worker's rights crowds and very real concessions to the Nazis that will toooootally not embolden them even further.

Yes, exactly. If a corporation that only cares about selling whizzbangs to rubes thinks they can sell more whizzbangs by being #Woke than by being conservative that's a good sign. Probably.

make's u think

So is Trump basically telling McConnell to block everything until he gets his way?

If so, I just don't see where the gently caress this ends. Both sides are being stubborn and refusing to do any negotiating. Yes, I know the Democrats offered a portion of the 5 billion for things other than the wall, but Trump only wants one thing and the Democrats refuse to give him that one thing, so it's not going to happen anytime soon.

This just really seems to be a case of who is going to bend first. Trump may be concerned about the 2020 election, but if he doesn't get the wall, then people will bitch at him for that, so right now it seems like he has nothing to lose by being stubborn.

I guess I think we're hosed? At first I figured that there's no way I'll go more than one skipped paycheck, but I'm beginning to think it's very possible I could longer than that.

Do not “both sides” this poo poo. Congress had a clean CR for Trump and he rejected it. Not being complicit in his follow-on tantrum does not make the Democrats part responsible for the mess. The republicans are free to run another vote and override a veto if necessary.

Public polling and voters supports the Dems, so they zero reason to negotiate. The only people left who support Trump care about the wall a whole real much, so he has no reason to budge. And Republicans need Trump voters to show up to vote if they want to maintain control of the Senate in 2020, but many of them are in blue/blue-ish states, so they're trying their best to make their voters forget that they exist.

This. Also: Trump has both Congress and the Senate, he could've passed this at any time, suddenly he loses the house and its a 'Emergency'
