Is there a "Dry" Season in Cali to give a decent window to fix it or is it "Wait for drought, hope its long enough to fix" type deal?

I think the "dry season" in California is "the last five years"

At this point, I would support any politician, regardless of other stances, if they ran on a policy of merciless, holy inquisition of Customs and Border Protection

I dunno if you know this, but Donald Trump appointed the Executive Director of a white supremacist hate group to be the Chief of Staff for CBP. Admittedly the hate group is for egg-heads and academics to influence policy and stop non-white immigration in order to preserve a white majority in the US rather than skinheads knocking over Jewish tombstones, but there you have it.

Yeah, I remember looking into her background when they announced. But what gets me is that it seems like...the organization is saturated, all the way down, with people who just don't seem interested in seeing brown people as human. Like, I'm sure it's not everyone, but it's enough.

Honestly, from a lot of these stories, these people should not work for CBP, "following orders" or not.

That article makes me want off this reality.

Also comical is Donnie canning all the U.S. prosecutors. Not REALLY out of the ordinary, though 7 weeks into an administration is odd, but just a few weeks ago he told one of them HEY STAY ON AND BE MY DUDE now it's unclear if Donnie wants that guy gone too.

Let's be real -- the simple reason for this is that Trump already forgot that he asked him to stay on and it never occurred to any of the idiots around him to coordinate any of these actions.

Probably not. He called himself a socialist, which is a dirty word in the US due to association with the evil Russian Commies. If he hadn't self identified as a socialist, he would have stood a real chance.

I think that messaging is killing the left more than anything else.

I pretty publicly call myself a socialist and no one under, like, 35 seems to bat an eye. I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, but that instinctive wincing at the word "socialism" is changing very quickly.

Oklahoma State Senator caught loving an underage male prostitute.



Pretty sure we need to invoke "all are pedophiles" rule for republicans from here out. Kinda like bronies.

"Shortey is charged with engaging in child prostitution, engaging in prostitution within 1,000 feet of a church, and transporting a minor for prostitution/lewdness, according to the Cleveland County District Attorney's office."

How is that, specifically, a crime? Yeah, prostitution in general I get, but not the church part.

I get the feeling poo poo is gonna a go down​ with the Norks this year. Tillerson is saber ratling in Japan and for once, I think it might actually lead to something.

People talk about the oil with Iraq, but I'm pretty sure the real money was in the building and service contracts the US government paid out to US companies for years (not that I need to tell this forum).

Think about all the construction that would occur in a place like a defeated NK. Think about all the service contracts that would get picked up by such upstanding firms as the Flynn Intel Group.

And a war is a great excuse to nip away at the margins of civil liberties and freedom of the press. If I were Bannon et al, I'd probably be dipping my toes in a couple hot spots around the world to see what potential conflict has the best ROI before going full bore too.

Maybe NK will be the one.

So the FBI aren't saying poo poo about whether there may or may not be an investigation is what I'm getting from this?
Which usually means yes there is right now?

I believe they have confirmed that there is an investigation, but they can't say much more.

And it's been going on since July. So, three months before Comey blew things up with his letter about Clinton's emails.

Yeah but if you got 100,000 dollars every time you pushed it, but a random person died, how many times do you push it?

:v:

Sure, killing a random person sounds great and all, but where's this $100,000 coming from? Is it from the brokerage account of someone I care about? What about the friend or family member of someone I care about?

I just don't know if I could live with that.

This is the same douche that sees jihad in everything and can't shut up about how alpha males are returning to government.

Didn't he wear the Nazi militia uniform to an inaugural ball? This is definitely not the first indication he's a Nazi.

Chapo Trap House has been my primary source of news about the guy, in fairness.
