“Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States,” Trump tweeted on Monday evening. “They will be removed as fast as they come in.”

Trump’s announcement apparently caught Immigration and Customs Enforcement by surprise, and it’s unlikely the agency has the resources to carry out an operation of the scale he apparently has in mind.

She's the least trash of the actual Dems running from what I can tell at any rate. Can't fairly say I know about everyone at 0% in this clown car primary.

Biden apparently had some choice quotes for rich donors.

"Statu quo" for the TLDR.

Trump raised $24 million in 24 hours. Biden raised $6.3 million in 24 hours.

The pundits are shook.

:lol Wrath, Buttigieg is أبو الدجاج.

I feel like I should know what this is referencing but I chuckled anyway so thank you.

I heard Pete Buttigieg is Maltese so I looked up his surname to see if it was Arabic (Maltese) and it was even better than I imagined.

sometimes I fantasize about armed chicano groups raiding ICE detention centers and freeing detainees, turning the border states into a no-man's-land for ICE to operate except through information volunteered by state level authorities after unrelated criminal convictions

but then I remember that even within the latino community there is little solidarity with immigrant brothers and sisters.

I don't have a problem with you and my posts here are angrier than I am IRL. :) I apologize.

The context for my outburst was this post in which I was trying to be temperate and sincere, and you responded snarkily.

Her policies are things like capping prescription drug prices at $500 a month, as if a normal person can afford that.

This is an extremely disingenuous reading of her various policy proposals, but then again this is a political thread...

that's literally the policy she just rolled out dude. But go ahead, support a registered Republican and call progressives Bernie Bros and then wonder why people aren't so charitable to the new Yass Queen.

Pretty minor stuff honestly, but I'm also upset with both the current American political situation, as well as *allowing* myself to become upset with it. My avenues to vent are few, but that's not really an excuse.

Expect fewer outbursts in the future.

I'm skeptical the siege mentality stuff will be as effective for Sanders this time around but he's won a bunch of elections and I haven't, so who knows.

Does feel weird to boost the idea of moderates rallying around Elizabeth Warren while Biden's still running away with all the polls.

Word on the street is that he's "taking superdelegate strategy seriously" but I don't know how effective that will actually be because he doesn't have experience with this kind of compromised deal-making (please correct me if I'm wrong). I feel like he's just calling up people and saying, "I'm the best candidate, believe it!"

Biden's sleepwalking through this primary, "sleepy Joe" may actually be accurate. Almost every piece I read about the various campaign trails and stuff has a "X, Y, and Z candidates responded with their policies. Joe Biden was nowhere to be seen/did not respond for comment."

The most damning one came from today's NYT piece, which includes interviews with literally every other candidate. :doge

Quote
One candidate who might have staked a different position was the only Democrat not to show up for an interview: Joseph R. Biden Jr. As the co-author of a strict criminal-justice law in the 1990s, Mr. Biden once joked that he had “made it a death penalty offense for everything but jaywalking.” But Mr. Biden declined to take our questions.

:lol On top of Biden ditching the Times, their reaction to it is so transparently petty.

It's like he's doing the exact opposite amount of work that Warren is...

People in his campaign have been floating the idea he could win the nomination with ~30% of the vote in a divided field. Seems like a very bad sign to be talking that way so early.

Biden's already doing shit like this and we haven't even had the first Democratic debate. Maybe there is a strategy to this, maybe he is trying to endear himself to conservatives/racist voters. Or he's just a dumbass that self-sabotages any chance he gets.

Maybe Biden will tank his own campaign. He's done it before.

But "we don't need to worry about that guy; he keeps saying dumb and offensive things and his support relies on old voters" echoes the complacence of the 2016 general election, eye emm oh.

You can bet on specific results (ie by state) or even things like "who will be leading after the 2nd debate"

"Well what else could Bernie possibly do???"
