Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.
She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.
Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.
Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

This really SUCKS for Trump, I bet he didn't expect things to BLOW up like this. I wonder where his HEAD is at. He clearly needs to get back on TOP of things. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If Trump creates a pan-Latino political identity the way that the civil rights era helped produce a shared black political identity, and Latinos start voting as a bloc against Republicans to even a fraction a degree black voters do, it’s literally curtains for the GOP. Lights out. Game over.
In CNN’s latest poll, just 20% of Latinos approved of his job performance, down from 41% in February. This 21-point drop far outpaces the 4- and 9-point drops among Black and White Americans and the 10-point drop in his approval rating overall.

Unfortunately I think the actual hinge is so, so much dumber: the Comey letter
bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

The mental retardation of conservatives is so similar and yet so different from that of leftists. each are idiots in their own way, and yet there's some kind of sameness to it all. it's paradoxical.

if you can't win an argument with facts, try sexism.
Men are not ok. Let us just abolish that they are not ok.
and, only goes back to 1990? okay, average US salaries in 1900 were about $450 or about $8,000 in today's money. do you really want to get bodied again having this insanely stupid argument?

I know this is deeply unfashionable but IMO politics largely consists of two things:
— Pandering to the fickle views of the voters to try to win elections
— Handling a series of tedious technical issues that most people don't care about or understand well
Having strongly held views not helpful.

I was going to say — I don't think this is a failing at all, it's way better than all the leftist intellectuals on here with their inflexible ideological dogmatism.

I think psychiatrists should tell this story to adults and ask how they feel as a test for sociopathy. Anyway the entire online left would apparently fail
I remember this kid when I was in the 4th grade who always got picked on, and when a bunch of other kids were really bullying him, he'd try and make a little speech, like "Stop! Don't you know you're all setting a bad example for the younger children!?", which was met with peals of laughter.

The consensus view among the Dem base is:
-normie mainstream liberalism
-unremitting, fire-breathing, hardline anti-Trumpism
The factions that exist outside of this consensus have a strong incentive to essentially act as if it’s not an option, and you must choose either leftism or accommodationism
