mandark, you made me look up the news just now, and I was kinda wtf that we're debating first responder benefits again because I remember that we definitely passed that years ago. Did we seriously only fund it for a limited time?

Warren should have just leaned into the Pocahontas thing Trump style.

She could open every speech with “How. Me llamo Elizabeth Warren”

INDIANAPOLIS—In a surprising move, the National Rifle Association announced Saturday morning that President Oliver North will not serve a second term, despite only being in office for six months, as infighting and controversy have taken hold at the gun rights group’s annual meeting.

In a letter read by the group’s vice president to kick off the gathering, North said that he will not seek reelection as NRA president, and went on to attack the NRA law firm that filed a lawsuit against its leading ad firm. “There is a clear crisis” at the NRA regarding financial allegations, he said in a Saturday letter.

“Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for reelection. I’m now informed that that will not happen,” he wrote.

The NRA’s CEO Wayne LaPierre received a standing ovation at the beginning of the members meeting. He was seated next to Oliver North’s empty chair and placard.

The announcement comes as The Daily Beast exclusively reported Friday that the NRA has taken shots at its own president in the days leading up to the the kick-off of its much-watched national meeting.

All good ideas in American politics have come from Europe. Approximately zero have been American originals.

I'm not understanding how this would not be the actions of a front runner? burying their opponents in ads isn't a time honored front-runner/well-financed campaign tactic?

does the campaign code of honor require them to cease and desist from campaign tactics until they drop in polling?

This is a good solution to people not having access to nutritional food. The problem is the messaging of "farm to table" usually invokes images of hipsters doofuses in their butcher bar playing beatnicks cellos.

If you wanted to get into economics, you'd do well to get something with math in it.

This one I don't get. Does Trump think he's actually hurting cities by claiming this? I doubt this is actually happening since the cost of doing this would be crazy expensive.

I don't get it because he's bragging about an idea that he thinks will intentionally hurt people to make a point and he acknowledges that it's "sick" but also thinks it's going to make him look good and the implicit AND explicit reasoning behind it is straight up racism.

"You're all just as racist as me but won't admit it" and "you're fine with immigrants because you're not personally exposed to them" are staples of anti-immigration thought.

The idea is that the presence of swarthy foreigners is so obviously, objectively terrible that of course there would be a backlash if you had them come to your city. It's dumb and racist, but exactly the sort of thing MAGA hat types will connect with.
