It’ll be interesting. If he came in the low 40's I would think a win would be less likely, but I believe the final tally was was 48.10% of the vote with 43.47% voter turnout which engenders hope. That being said, after witnessing the mental gymnastics people will go through to come home and vote R during the last…

“It agrees with what the Orangeman says or else it gets the Stephen Miller again.”

Oh really? What policy is that you are agreeing on? Seems to me that everything being done is being done by executive order.

My brain can’t decide which one it wants alternative North Korea to be; A high fantasy North Korea filled with mystical creatures, magic, and food, or a North Korea that’s sick of how corporate everything has gotten and just wants to rock out with it’s unkempt hair while wearing a flannel shirt and ripped jeans.

Admittedly my head starts spinning whenever it comes to farm subsidy talks, so apologies if I am off base. My understanding is that most of the subsidies account for when crop prices drop below a certain threshold because of overproduction or other factors. Nothing really exists for a drop in production beyond…

One of the cons is federal, pound-me-in-the-ass prison. I’m not sure what the pros are.

Senate bill 3348. I don’t know if this is the correct one, it was introduced during the campaign and killed, but reintroduced and amended to require the current sitting POTUS (Trump) to release them.

I believe he also called for the extradition of Gulen back to Turkey in an opinion piece (I think on election day), and there was also the bit that came out about him possibly attending a meeting where the topic was essentially to kidnap Gulen back to Turkey as well.

May not have the specific answer you are looking for, but I felt this article did a pretty good job as a primer. Ignore all the parallels in there with how Trump speaks and acts, they’re all just coincidences I’m sure.

Please tell me that’s a parody account.

I keep writing and deleting my thoughts on Erdogan. I don’t know nearly enough about the situation to comment beyond what is happening is fucked up and that if Trump calling to congratulate him is true, it should be alarming.

Yes, such a shame that the industry that contributes about 2.5% to our GDP directly and accounts for roughly 8% overall should see it’s largest non-domestic customer group by far fall by about 7% with estimates to fall further over the coming years. Drop in the bucket I say. Plus, this is totally going to be specific…

very true

Absolutely, I don’t either. I don’t think most have a problem with it.

Picked this up through what Slate dredges up when they look through conservative media and figured it was worth a share. It’s an article regarding the wall, from what I can tell it isn’t satire. Here’s an excerpt regarding one of the proposed walls that wants to use solar panels.
