The Republicans just wanted to rail against those programs, but no do anything because deporting the 2 million people Trump is slated to deport is super not popular. They didn't want to deport people. They just wanted to talk about deporting people to get elected. Then the government shuts down on 1/19/2018. "If elected, I pledge to make brown people feel unwelcome and uncomfortable" *crowd goes nuts* | ||

To me it seems like the kind of thing he would sign if it comes to that for multiple reasons: a) he doesn't understand it so chances are he isn't aware b) the man is all about bragging about the most irrelevant or even bad things. Remember the brag on no coaldeaths (iirc?) a couple weeks ago? I am sure in his mind, even if he knows he shouldn't sign it, he will say to himself that he'll just sign it and make it look amazing to the public with his inner fraudster-self So yeah, I really do expect him to sign it if he gets to it, just to have the chance to talk about how he just signed an amazing deal no matter how shitty it actually is. With all the hate on him for not being able to pass anything outside of the taxereform I'd assume he really values that act of signing ANYTHING quite highly | ||

Speaking broadly about one of the most inter-differentiated countries in the world is a bad idea generally, but there are definitely plenty of US residents who would be justified in thinking this place a shithole. | ||

He already hints at the underhanded pitch. He tries to restrict the response to "developed world," he talks about $30k like it's below the world average, and any infrastructure grade that puts the US at D+ is talking rich & developed countries. He's wrong on the basic level of the playing field, before even getting to the particular claims. ...but claiming the US is a shithole country is exactly the overreaction that I'm growing accustomed to. The GOP needs all the help it can get in 2018/2020, so please continue, guys. | ||

Hey, I'd like to come back to our discussion where I argue that you telling dems to be more centrist because that will help them is part of your strategy to weaken the dems because you believe centrism makes them weaker, are you interested in getting back to that conversation? | ||

Please explain to me why Trump calling the United States the laughing stock of the world and basically painting it as a destroyed country is a-okay but people talking about infrastructure or health issues (in angry tone or not) is somehow demeaning | ||
