Stuff that’s happening: Trump has put VP Mike Pence in charge of the US response to the coronavirus sweeping the globe, which means we can look forward to hearing about how Pence only got coffee for the campaign and was never really involved in anything important in a couple of months when global air travel is shut down, bulldozers are digging mass graves for the virus’ victims at Mar a Lago, and Madagascar has closed its ports. Unless of course the CDC finds that coronavirus turns people gay, in which case Pence will direct the full fury of the US government in an effort not seen since the Manhattan Project. A bunch of Democrats are still running for President, but it’s all for naught now that Marianne Williamson and her big crystal energy are gone. We will finally have peace in Afghanistan thanks to the bigliest and bestest deal ever. The troops are coming home, soon!

As many of us expected, the bills are coming for the original group of wuhan evacuees. The general reaction seems to be "wtf, I thought this was paid for?" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/29/upshot/coronavirus-surprise-medical-bills.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

I don’t like either men at all. But gently caress having to read Trumps drivel. The loving president of the United States tweeting like a elementary school bully.

CNN is running around in circles cheering about their heir apparent zirconium joe, and how he has now totally crushed Bernie and all other Democratic primary contenders I guess you gotta take your wins when you can get them because joe is about the worse possible candidate the Democratic party could put forward next to Mayo Pete

One of the worst things about Trump is his approach of not paying his vendors until a court forces him to, and it's one of the reasons he had to resort to reality TV.

bengy81 posted:Isn't Joe still 10 delegates behind Bernie? Sanders still has the inside track to the nomination imo, but Biden crushing South Carolina is definitely cause for concern. African-American voters are one of the most important demographics in the Democratic Party, and as SC demonstrated most of them are still backing Biden. At this point, it really comes down to Super Tuesday, and whether Sanders gets enough votes to put up a solid delegate lead. California and Texas are, by far, going to be the biggest states to watch.

So apparently the local Costco is sold out of toilet paper, bottled water and tylenol. And bleach is hard to come by at the local grocery stores.

orange juche posted:https://twitter.com/bradkjenkins/status/1234162165612937218?s=20 It halts the first two of the 'Asylum Directives' described here: quote:On July 2, 2019, three weeks after assuming his new office, Cuccinelli issued a memorandum announcing a revised policy for scheduling credible-fear interviews in expedited removal proceedings. AR 113. Under the revised policy, USCIS (1) reduced the time allotted for asylum seekers to consult with others prior to their credible-fear interviews from 72 or 48 hours to “one full calendar day from the date of arrival at a detention facility,” AR 113 (“reduced-time-to-consult directive”), and (2) prohibited asylum officers from granting asylum seekers extensions of time to prepare for their credible-fear interviews, “except in the most extraordinary of circumstances,” id.; see also AR 114 (“prohibition-on-extensions directive”). Although not reflected in the memorandum, Plaintiffs assert that Cuccinelli also cancelled [3] “[t]he in-person [legal] orientation process that was” previously “in place” at the Dilley Detention Center in Dilley, Texas. Dkt. 12-2 at 3–4 (Fluharty Decl. ¶¶ 6–7) (“in-person-orientation directive”). Before its cancellation, according to Plaintiffs, that policy “allowed asylum seekers to ask questions about their legal rights, provided the only means of transmitting information to asylum seekers who cannot read, and facilitated understanding for asylum seekers with special needs, including disabilities or competency issues.” Dkt. 12 at 18; see also Dkt. 12-2 at 3–4 (Fluharty Decl. ¶¶ 6–7). Taken together, Plaintiffs refer to these revised policies as the “Asylum Directives.” The effect of the directives are noted here: article. (Cutting the pass rate on one step of the asylum process from 97% to 10%) Unfortunately, the removal of the in-person orientation may be the directive most responsible for the huge increase in denials. joat mon fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Mar 1, 2020 |

If I had to guess, he promised her voter outreach thing a shitload of money. Which amusingly if it were true, is one of the few things he's done with his money that actually help the party.
