I think the AOC thing is that there's now a democrat that acts like a republican and doesn't take shit and everyone is like "Wait! Dems are supposed to not have spines! What's this?!!"

Nah it's just the same group of people that burned Bernie.
They want to be be on the good side and virtue signal but they don't want to lose their money and power.

The biggest argument against AOC's plans: "How are you going to pay for all this?"
Remember all those people on TV are being paid tons to act like they're shocked every day.

If Warren or Sanders makes it through the primary with a socialist platform and a 70% tax you'll see some really strange voting patterns.
Already they're hitting AOC left and right with: "You have no experience, you don't know anything" which wasn't a problem until she said: "70% tax".

Thankfully Trump has now shown us the way. President AOC can just declare healthcare to be a state of emergency, then we all get free healthcare.

[james]

Another example of how fucking useless Obama was.

If he really wanted a progressive agenda, all he had to do was declare it.

Spineless bitch.

Nancy and Chuck should completely ignore the wall and spend 10 minutes going HAM on collusion.

Manfort was caught red handed giving Trump internal poll data to Russia agents.

COLLUSION CONFIRMED

 

[agrajag]

I heard some rumblings about conversations of Don Jr. colluding with the head of Russian central bank wiretapped by Spanish LEO and passed to the FBI and rumors of Jr. telling his friends that he is preparing for an indictment. Take with a salt suppository.

[james]

I have some rumblings for you right here

LOL I wonder what the context was.

"Paul, Mr Putin is wondering if Donald Trump has any chance of winning?  "
"LMAO I'm only in this for the money friend, we're like polling so bad right now, here I'll send you some data  "
"LOL your boy is toast Paul what are the plans?  "
"Plans? What are you talking about? We are here to sell hats and make some money and get the fuck out. Worst idea the man has ever had  "

Don Jr.: "Hi"
Bank: "Hello, how can I help you"
Don Jr.:"I'm looking to make a deposit on behalf of my dad Donald J. Trump"
Bank: "What sort of deposit?"
Don Jr. : "Well you know he's running for President and your President offered to help us but I don't know where to send the money"
Don Jr. :  "Dad doesn't really want to pay so uncle Paul asked me to send the cash instead otherwise your President will get mad and accidents happen. And me and my brother don't want anyone to get hurt right Eric?"
Bank: "I'll connect you to my supervisor"
*Soviet Anthem plays*
?? : "Who is this?"
Don Jr. : "This is the son of Donald J. Trump"
?? : "Donny you fucking idiot, are you on a secure line?"
Don Jr. : "Yes I'm using my dads Android"
?? : "You fucking idiot, hang up the phone right now and find yourself a burner"
Don Jr. : "But mister, I want to send you the money so no one gets burned or otherwise hurt"

there ya go

Torshin continued to travel frequently to the United States and even showed up as part of a Russian delegation in February 2017 to the National Prayer Breakfast, where he was at one point scheduled to meet with President Trump.

"Sure I will just meet with the Russian money launderer during the second month of my presidency. Very cool, very legal."

 

Would be best if some Russian called Donald during his speech and he accidently puts it on speaker 

[Mandark]

[Nintex]

He's calling the Russian bank to figure out who to send the money to. 

[TVC15]

So are we in a national emergency or not? I need to know if it's legal for me to blast apart my perceived enemies with a shotgun yet.

[TVC15]

I have a meeting at 7am. I need to get started early tonight if I'm going to maga.

[benjipwns]

We're already in 31 national emergencies, I think we have to hit level 50 before those missions open up.

[benjipwns]

lol I looked to see when it was and on FOX the chryon just said "Trump Address: SOON"

[benjipwns]

it's becoming a family affair

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gavin-mcinnes-emily-mcinnes-neighbors-over-anti-hate-signs_us_5c34c117e4b05d4e96bcc88d?ec_carp=2979636332839559557

But on Monday night, that simmering local feud began to boil over. The McInneses joined a private online discussion about the squabble, held by the Larchmont community on the social media app Nextdoor, in an apparent attempt to clear the air with their neighbors.

Emily McInnes wrote in another post, “I assure you as a Native American woman raised with a full-blood mother and a longtime liberal, my heart is full and open to all.”

Before Monday night, neighbors said they had given Emily McInnes the benefit of the doubt, considering her someone caught in the middle of drama her husband created with the community. But HuffPost has reviewed evidence that she has intimidated and harassed several neighbors in response to their anti-hate signs, threatening legal action or accusing them in private messages of coming after her family. On multiple occasions, the recipients notified police, HuffPost confirmed. The individuals who shared the details of those legal threats did so on condition of anonymity out of fear for their safety.

Publicly, Emily McInnes has struck a more measured tone, appealing to her neighbors by claiming victimhood or deflecting for her husband and the Proud Boys. She claimed on Monday night that her family was suing the Southern Poverty Law Center and “several publications” for defamation, apparently over the SPLC’s designation of the Proud Boys as a hate group.

“Gavin founded a beer drinking club that was fond of Animal House and humor,” she wrote on Nextdoor, echoing a falsehood about the group that he has long maintained. “He NEVER led a hate group ... Again, why not ask us questions? We will meet or talk any time. And PLEASE from the bottom of my heart let my sweet kind-hearted children have some peace.”

There is no indication that the McInnes kids have faced anything but peace amid the neighborhood drama. In a phone call on Tuesday, Emily McInnes told HuffPost that the legal threats were offhanded.

“I’ve said, ‘Please call me. I dare you.’ That was as threatening as I got,” she said. She added that the individuals who came to HuffPost alleging threats are “entitled to their opinion.”

“I’m so encouraged by so many of our neighbors who want to talk to us rather than protest us,” she said.

Woah, does Rachel Maddow usually show this much cleavage or is it because it's a special occasion?

[benjipwns]

Despite being a contemporary of Mr. Trump’s, however, Mr. Bolton is not a member of his inner circle. He does not have the same relationship with Mr. Trump that he had with Mr. Bush. Sometimes, with aides, the president refers to him as “Mike Bolton.”

Trump administration officials said Tuesday that the Agriculture Department will be able to pay out food stamp benefits for the entire month of February — tamping down fears that the partial government shutdown could have resulted in rationing or halting of benefits.

The assurance that the food stamp program, which serves nearly 39 million people, would be on secure financial footing for February marked another major reversal from the administration in the ongoing shutdown fight.

Shouldn't you figure this out before a shutdown starts?

[El Babua]

Now all he has to do is print a trillion dollar coin and pwn fiscal conservatism forever.

[agrajag]

So this thing was just for him to stroke his ego and hear himself yal? 

[agrajag]

dude's sniffling like crazy, must've snorted some adderall to wake himself up

[benjipwns]

lowered expectations and all but wasn't too bad, especially if Schumer is the one responding, Trump was being pretty coherent and measured for a change, got in and got out

 

[benjipwns]

where's this Maddow cleavage, TVC is spreading fake news

[james]

Yaaaaas Abuela Nancy take my energy

[benjipwns]

is Schumer trying to stare into my soul?

[agrajag]

Trump fearmongers with b.s. for 15 minutes

benjipwns: "wasn't too bad"

[TVC15]

Does Trump usually look and sound that bad these days? This is the first time I've seen him in a while.

[Rufus]

Benji's blunted by countless deep dives into comment sections.

Fuck off to Israel Chuck

Retire bitch

How about no

[benjipwns]

neither one seemed like it'd be very convincing to anyone who hasn't made up their mind, i thought Trump had a tiny edge only because of the expectations of his behavior and plus he threw out all those probably fake statistics while Schumer just kinda whined about the optics for half of his

edit: also Trump played up all that other border "security" stuff too, so it sounded like more than just the wall...while the wall was more of a focus for the Democrats

This is predictably the response I was expecting from you

[benjipwns]

we should just have endless responses on increasingly obscure streaming sites. remember that year there was the GOP response, a tea party response, Rand Paul response and then some other GOPer response (Ted Cruz maybe?)

[james]

Bernie slaying

[Mandark]

I didn't watch it, but going by benji's reaction Trump must have been fucking awful.

[benjipwns]

THEY CUT OFF BERNIE'S MIC BEFORE HE WAS FINISHED, DNC STRIKES AGAIN

[benjipwns]

Trump can't be awful. Only boring.

[Tripon]

That Trump speech was pretty bad.

All those acadotes of illegals killing and murdering and raping happened after people stayed for years. He did a horrible job of trying to link why a physical wall would help people. At some point, he was begging for wall, and then referenced the two children that recently died in custody. He didn't say why a wall would prevent that.

So.... eh. This will likely be the longest shutdown ever since the record is up to 21 days, and that's Friday. This doesn't end until Trump realizes he needs to sign something to stop the bleeding and it sounded like he's nowhere near that yet.

[shosta]

My favorite part was the argument that because Americans spend 500 billion dollars on drugs annually and the boarder wall will only cost 5 billion, naturally a boarder wall would recoup those costs and pump 495 billion back into Americans' pockets. Cheapest stimulus ever.

[benjipwns]

Trump said he wants to stop the criminals. The Dimms said they want to stop Trump. And Bernie said he wants to stop climate change.

This be politik, not debate or reality.

[agrajag]

[benjipwns]

you'll all be sorry, just like you were when you denied that the airport drone was actually a police drone

[benjipwns]

and i'll be most sorry of all because every option is still moving further away from open borders or at least eliminating the 100 mile border zone/massively simplifying legal immigration procedure

[Mandark]

haven't seen a libertarian get wrecked like this over a border dispute since rand paul got sloppy with his yard trimmings
