So is the U.S. headed back to the dark ages with this Supreme Court nonsense?
Democrats need to get their shit together...starting with kicking out the current leadership. It's hard to believe they still have people like Chuck Schumer and Pelosi as the public face of the party.
- Don't know if you heard the news, them Dems are losing to Socialist with zero political experience... not sure if the party is worth saving...robotron3k
- Well that party did win 6 of 7 of the last elections in terms of popular vote. I honestly feel the outdated leadership is one of the things holding them back.yuekit
- We need to fix the house of REP count.
Electoral College (at least first past post count). To truly get "the peoples voice".
What we have now is shit.dorkKn1ght

In light of Michelle Wolf saying that one of the only ways to prick el
queso de naranja is to question his wealth, should he henceforth be referred to as President Tramp?

- Troubling for sure but it's missing David Duke, Joe Arpaio, Ivanka, and Captain Crunch from his list.kona
- Captain Crunch is a great sailor and many people are saying it in a certain sense, it's true. If he can navigate the sea he can navigate our republic! #MAGABonSeff
- LOL!kona
- Let's just hope the good Captain doesn't take advantage of his S.C. seat by lashing out at everyone who says his cereal cuts the roof of their mouth.kona

I grew up in San Antonio, 2 hours from the Nuevo Laredo border, everyone in South Texas want illegal border jumpers stopped, and we've wanted it for decades. Not because we want to stop the migrants (no matter how wonderful they are), but because of the evil criminal elements it brings in.
This border agent interview tells you how it really goes down...

I wonder if Trump agrees to this, will Puerto Ricana turn Republican??
Puerto Rico introduces bill to become U.S. state by 2021
WASHINGTON — Puerto Rico's non-voting representative in Congress is introducing a bill that seeks to make the U.S. territory a state by 2021.
Resident Commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez said Wednesday that 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans currently sponsor the bill among the 435 members in the House of Representatives.
- After Trump let them rot after the hurricane? Because he doesn't recognize them as US citizens. Doubt they'll forget that any time soon.mathinc
- Seeing as how the Trump administration has abandoned Puerto Rico and considering PR has more Americans living in it than 21 actual stateskona
- you'd have to be some kind of stupid to think it would turn Republican.kona
- It's really not going to happen, they like 80 billion in debt, many citizens dont pay taxes, lots of problems there, but its fun to think about another staterobotron3k
- robo on all fours taking trumps propaganda like a champ.inteliboy

Illinois Nazi candidate creates GOP dumpster fire. Republicans fear blowback from a Holocaust denier’s run for Congress.
Jones, who told POLITICO he’s running to counter a “two-party, Jew-party, queer-party system,” laughed when he was informed the GOP was unable to put up a candidate against him.
“They didn’t put up a third-party candidate?” Jones asked when reached by phone Thursday. “That’s great! That’s fantastic!
“I snookered them,” he said of state Republicans. “I played by the rules, what can I say?”

HOLY SHIT Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) just won the presidential elections in Mexico.

News media paid Melania Trump thousands for use of photos in 'positive stories only'
The first lady earned six figures from an agreement with Getty Images that paid royalties to the Trumps and mandated photos be used in positive coverage.

"U.S. farm groups, including the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association and National Pork Producers Council, have been pleading with the Trump administration to adopt a different strategy of holding trading partners accountable. They argue farmers and ranchers are already dealing with a four-year slump in commodity prices, and U.S. officials should instead be focusing on opening new markets to help boost their bottom lines.
Instead, the Trump administration has forged ahead, and requested that Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue devise a plan to make up for U.S. producers’ lost profits and ensure the agriculture industry doesn’t bear the brunt of retaliation alone"

It will be interesting to look a map of how the global supply chain has been reconfigured this time next year.
- China will pay up, this non issue. Why? USA buys 1/2 trillion in China goods, and if USA does not buy Chinese good, they are fuked not USA.robotron3k
- Diff with China is, it's a dictatorship with long term vision. If the chicanery out of the WH continues and ordinary Americans hurt, they're likely to vote.mandomafioso
- ok robo, remind me again how many trillions we borrowed from china and japan?BonSeff
- so trump is making it impossible for American Companies to do business outside of the US, essentially eliminating a 7.3 billion person market? way to go!_niko
