Decades from now people will say: “I remember where I was…”
Even the Freepers are not taking this “offer” seriously, seeing it as little more than an attempt by Trump to try to get Dreamers and Latinos on his side. They don’t think he’s serious about this, that it’s nothing more than a political ploy and so they’re not freaking out about it.

Trump negotiated himself into a bag and can’t negotiate his way out. He thinks a deal that was rejected months ago is suddenly going to get him out of the mess of his own creation.

If that’s the strategy, they fucking failed. The Democrat senators can afford to reject this deal because DACA is a non-issue this year thanks to SCOTUS.
It’ll pass the Senate but the House can offer up what they’ve offered for eight times already, and it’ll pass.

This isn’t about negotiating anything, it’s about trying desperately to get Dems back on the defensive, which is how the GOP is used to dealing with them. Figuring either the bill passes and they get something for nothing, or it fails but they can spin the failure as the Dems choosing to sacrifice Dreamers to hurt Trump.

Well, if they all reject it, then cloture doesn’t happen. But if he can get the 8 Dems he needs to secure cloture, then that’s 10 Repubs he can afford to let vote “No” and still get the bill passed with Pence as the tie-breaker.
That was pretty thorough. It seems to me that the proposal from Trump merits more than just a ‘no’. If the answer from the Hill is indeed ‘no’, then time for a substantive counter-proposal.

Are the Republican senators really going to vote on this, especially when the Freepers and Ann already are deeming the DACA move as “amnesty?” Cause *checks notes* the GOP is in the majority.
If they vote to do this and then get reamed by the hard right, they just took a poison pill and didn’t even know it.
Democratic senators will demand amendments, one of which will be to permanently provide legal status to Dreamers. It will be defeated, of course, at which point the Democratic senators will filibuster any senate bill.

This is actually Mitch’s gameplan. He’s trying to change the subject from “Why won’t McConnell allow the votes to reopen the government?”
Safe bet: it won’t work.
If this went on for a week, then Mitch could have gotten away with it. But his stonewalling went on for way too long, and allowed the subject of his petty politics preventing a vote to take root.

yup:
Said Pelosi: lDemocrats were hopeful that the President was finally willing to re-open government… Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives.”
She added: “It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter.”
It’s sort of hard to say this is a “serious” offer when even your base sees it’s nothing more than a ploy to change the narrative.

Well, the hate-mongering from the Catholic Church students in Washington was disgusting, as are all the conservatives trying desperately to magic-balancefairy that.
The Catholic Church was the second-most genocidal group against Native Americans, after the US government. (You could argue it was the Spanish Crown, but they were driven by Catholicism.)
I see the Covington Diocese Website is overloaded (Error 524, timeout). I imagine their servers are in meltdown mode.
I eagerly await those who will say the Catholic Church is “no true Christians” as so often is said about Evangelicals.
The Catholic Church is one of the most rigid and structured oganisations in the world. I will be very surprised if the authorities of the Church do a damn thing about any of this; their whole “March for Life” issue is based on hate-mongering anyway.

It wont pass the smell test on the right, let alone with Democrats.

The WH no doubt hoped that this bill would put the DNC on the defensive, get them out there arguing against their own bill and against protecting the Dreamers. Instead, it’s only going to further erode their own defensive position because now their base is going to lose faith. They’ve been assured again and again that the Dems are “breaking,” that they want to make a deal but Nancy won’t allow them to do so, and that if they just held out a bit longer then they’d get their demands without paying anything. Now Donny’s backing “amnesty” in exchange for a portion of his wall with no guarantee of any future funding.

Until well into the 19th century, people believed life began with the “quickening” or when a woman would feel the fetus move. Women fairly routinely took (abortifacient) herbs to bring on menses. Abortion being illegal in the US comes about with the professionalization of the medical field throughout the 19th century, and male doctors taking control of women’s health.

One trait of people on the right is to think everyone holds the same views that they do. Consequence of living in a RW bubble, I guess. I’m constantly amazed that people make comments to me assuming I hold conservative views. These kids probably thought (if they were thinking at all) everyone would applaud the video of their racists behavior the same way people applaud their football game videos.

re: #185 William Lewis
So do you want actual criticism of Rome or do you simply want the usual anti-RC propaganda that Protestants (including my own alas, see the history of the word Papist in English) like to spew? Or is this simply a moment for you to enjoy your own “all religion is evil” belief?
The Catholic Church could squelch this today, just as they could have squelched centuries of child sexual assault.
My position is not “all religion is evil.” My position is “religion is unsupported.”
Already the response from the school has been to make all their social media accounts private, and has issued no statement, not even “we’ll look into this.” Same with the diocese. It’s not like they don’t know.
“You look at different places they put up a wall, no problem. You look at San Antonio, you look at so many different places.”
Just look at Maginotnia!

As for the kids, I would blame it on a specific version of Christianity, or really any specific religion. Far too many Baptists in my area would have acted the same way.

Catholic school to investigate taunting of Native Americans
But the Diocese of Covington criticized any students who participated in the action, which broke out as a group from the school was in Washington for the anti-abortion event March for Life.
Its statement, forwarded by archdiocese spokeswoman Laura Keener, singled out Native American leader Nathan Phillips, a Vietnam War veteran and Omaha elder. In social media videos of the incident Phillips can be seen singing as a male taunts him smilingly and gets close to his face.

re: #278 Interesting Times
The thing about this is that we’ve got multiple investigations ongoing.
There’s Mueller’s investigation that requires Cohen testimony/evidence.
There’s the SDNY investigation that requires Cohen testimony/evidence.
SDNY got him on the charges that led to 3 years in prison. Mueller was arguing for a lesser sentence due to the assistance provided. That should signal to everyone that Mueller had gotten significant evidence needed against key Trump figures - up to and including Trump himself. Mueller needs to continue to protect Cohen and to limit what Cohen says in public before Mueller needs him under oath at a potential trial down the road.
SDNY leaks like a sieve, and is likely the source of the Cohen information.
Mueller is airtight and has been all along.
Mueller stepping up and trying to limit what Cohen said doesn’t discredit the Buzzfeed report, but it’s the context of who’s saying what that is important.
SDNY hasn’t denied the statements.

World’s most embarrassing human person Laura Loomer has had a hell of a January. First, she fell for (and subsequently got the Wall Street Journal to fall for) a prank from Nathan Bernard and company convincing her that CAIR lobbied to have her kicked off of Twitter. Then she tried to break into Nancy Pelosi’s house and also get some immigrants deported in the process.
And today, she tried to storm the stage at the Women’s March and grab the mic in order to proclaim that the Women’s March was the REAL Nazi march.
It was almost as cringeworthy as the time she aggressively hit on a Nazi.
