The Louisiana Department of Health is already trying to solve the MMR issue because the northern triangle had an outbreak, but of course no one knows what ICE plans on doing if anything. We can get shots and people to give them but without anyone letting us in and agreeing to let people be trackable there's fuckall we can do at the moment.

sexpig by night posted:I mean that's the whole point of the russia madness. Sure there's partially general sour grapes/not wanting to admit you got owned by a big senile freak like Trump but a lot of it is just 'well no...there has to be a plan here right?' Like, he can't just be a randomly spiteful racist, right? He's gotta be trying on purpose to make things bad, for Russia, that's why he weirdly thinks Baltimore is hell on earth and cares more about Alabama's hypothetical grazing by the hurricane than the Carolinas currently getting hit by it. It's Russia, they want him to do it and he's getting marching orders from Putin, that's the only explanation that makes sense to them for why he's like this because admitting 'oh, yea, the presidency isn't magic, it doesn't actually 'change you', it just is unchecked power and someone who's a petty tyrant just gets to become a real one' is real hard. i think it does change people(for better or worse) the issue is trump has so little character or personality besides narssism/being a prick/bigot, there isnt much to change. as for russia. my belief has always been putin just views trump as a useful idiot and helped him somewhat but outside that their isn't some deep plan between the two. trump respects putin because putin is what trump desperately wants to be and putin probably head patted him at times. Random Stranger posted:President Trump is about as close to actual Lovecraftian horror as you can experience. You thought you lived in a sane, rational universe? Jokes on you, there's a mad, gibbering god at the center of everything who brings about wholesale destruction through a combination of petty indifference and outright spite. that too.

My only response to people I've talked to wondering why the visit didn't seem to lead to anything or have a point is that it needs to come down to us to push for change using the information they gleaned from their visit. It is upsetting to realize how toothless the checks and balances within our system are without backing from the executive branch.

I'm not sure what can be gained by posting Donald Trump Junior's posts, as he rarely seems to post/argue in good faith, but I gave the article he linked us to a shot. It seems misleading and more like Smollet's lawyers are dubious about him paying the costs of the investigation. quote:“My client from the beginning has maintained his innocence and disputed the city’s allegations,” said William J. Quinlan, of The Quinlan Law Firm, who filed the motion. He noted that “it’s going to be very difficult for the city to prevail in making a case my client should pay for overtime for a case ultimately dismissed by the state’s attorney. It came out to something like $130,000 - that's a lot to put somebody on the hook for. Wanting to garner national attention and wanting to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars do not equate to one another.

There's no loving charges, the victim is not on the hook for investigative costs. If you think he filed a false report, charge or gently caress off.

I ask because I saw this article about a mumps outbreak in the camps and it sounds just as bad as ever: Spoilers for the final episode of the TV Series Years and Years Years and Years is an excellent 6 part mini series from the BBC. It starts in 2019 in Britain and goes through roughly 10 years of society. During the time there is a Trumpian politician that ends up gaining political power, by using similar Trump methods (accusing media of fake news, appealing to racism, working with Russia etc). In the final episode it's revealed that her plan for the migrant "concentration camps" is to let them all die of disease. But it will be more they will die because the gov't doesn't do anything to stem diseases. It ends up that a number of refugees end up dying in these camps, which is all to her liking. It ends with Viv getting arrested for her crimes against humanity. Years and Years is really good but holy gently caress it gave me anxiety.

it's amazing he keeps posting poo poo from the 28th, 29th, and 30th to defend his tweet. he made his tweet on the morning of the 1st. you can go and look at the models from an hour before he made that tweet and the projections had already changed to it moving up the coast. it's to the point some people in this thread think he made the initial tweet when it was still up in the air where the hurricane would go.CubanMissile posted:Rewatching Demolition Man and boy do I have a much more favorable opinion of San Angeles than I did as a kid. they don't have sex. sounds like hell.

Military Base Loses Funding for New School to Trump’s Border Wall https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/05/us/trump-border-wall-military-families.html As a former BRAT, fuuuuuuuuuuuck trump. Clearly supporting the troops does not mean doing anything positive for them, just waiving a flag and having tanks at your rallies. E: oh drat, this is in McConnell's back yard too quote:In normal times, the Fort Campbell middle school project would have a powerful political ally in Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader. In a January op-ed in The Louisville Courier-Journal headlined “Here’s How Kentucky Families Benefit From McConnell’s Clout in D.C.,” Mr. McConnell boasted that he had “secured much-needed assistance for Fort Campbell, Fort Knox and the Blue Grass Army Depot, helping the men and women serving there keep America safe.” ewiley fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Sep 6, 2019 |

Being that his approval rating with republicans is like 90-something percent (and that republican voters are all rich and/or old brain-dead morons that only possess the ability to point at a name with “R” beside it), this doesn’t matter much at all. It’s still kind of hilarious in a “what are you afraid of” sort of way. Though it is telling that they’re protecting him because he’s basically made white-collar crime legal these last few years and they’re afraid to lose their scapegoat for when it all comes crashing down.

It’s still kind of hilarious in a “what are you afraid of” sort of way. I love the implication that in every other election, they've had multiple people jockeying to be the GOP's great hope, factionalizing the base and having heated debates, arguing salient points, disagreeing on policy matters, negotiating and horse-trading and forming alliances and everything. But now every single Republican agrees, Trump is precisely what they all wanted all along.
