HAHAHA Trump talking about his so-called emergency:
"And I'll sign the final papers as soon as I get into the Oval Office. And we will have a national emergency, and we will then be sued, and they will sue us in the 9th Circuit, even though it shouldn't be there, and we will possibly get a bad ruling, and then we'll get another bad ruling, and then we'll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we'll get a fair shake and we'll win in the Supreme Court."
"I could do the wall over a longer period of time, I didn't need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster. And I don't have to do it for the election; I've already done a lot of wall for the election 2020. And the only reason we're up here talking about this is because of the election, because they want to try and win an election which it looks like they're not going to be able to do."
He literally admitted he didn't need to do declare an emergency, during the speech declaring a national emergency. That might be Ok according to his loyal fanbase, but it's not going to work so well in front of a judge.
I'll admit Trump is a genius (or at least some kind of idiot savant) but this is a pretty funny mistake.
- The full video of his speech is just hilarious. A long-winded, rambling, tired old man going on and on. Sounds like a real emergency! hanb

- He got very wishy-washy about it, he should have done it long ago, so it was anticlimactic today. But funny, it didn't phase the markets...robotron3k
- Done what long ago? Holy shit you still think there was gonna be a wall. Idiots.monospaced

I agree with the guy who called them "the dumbest people to ever live"...and the comments in general are great.
- why would you agree with that statement, when it's obviously not true?monospaced

the most annoying part of the 2016 campaign was liberals laughing at me when i said "don't sleep on trump." the most annoying part of this one will be liberals screaming at me when i say i won't support anyone but bernie.
the left in america needs to realize that "incremental measures of change" is a fucking slogan not a political practice. you go at something balls-to-the-wall and it ends up being compromised down to incremental change. starting with mediocrity and expecting to get anywhere is ideologically weak and fundamentally stupid.
there is a time for debate and a time for action. the time for action was six years ago, but the democratic party wants to keep talking about the next sensitive issue while figuring out how to capitalize from it. the left will drag this country kicking and screaming back to "greatness" with things that have already worked (taxing the wealthy) and those that logically will (providing services for the needy).
warren is a capitalist and harris is a cop. get ready for a fight.

- I personally feel it doesn't make any sense for Sanders to run against his acolytes. He's too old and his too much old-style socialism (see his past interviews)allthethings
- to win. He has already succeeded in articulating a way forward for progressives, and should get out of the way.allthethings
- It does frighten me a little that with 15 candidates it could be just like GOP 16, where somebody not-as-good squeaks through winning 30%allthethings

this unaired interview by Fucker Carlson with Rutger Bregman is very funny.
In case you don't know, Rutger called out billionaire tax-avoiders at Davos for using philanthropy rather than taxes.

The history of Republican attacks on Democrats as "socialists."
And a follow-up:
- Dems should partly own it, and call themselves Social Democrats, if they want to go in that general direction.
Works for the rest of the civilised world.Continuity - How about Democrat National Socialist of American Workers Party or dNAZI Partyrobotron3k
- LOLZ
I'm amazed you can keep up this level of daily un-educated vitriol without exhausting yourself.Continuity - "if they want to go in that direction?" The whole nation has been going in that direction for hundreds of years, ffsmonospaced
- The Nazis work with the Republicans, we all saw the rallies and Trump's endorsement of the "nice people".zarkonite
