This bill is an abominable transfer of wealth into fewer and fewer hands, and yet they're just getting started because guess what suddenly we don't have money I guess we have to privatize Medicare and end Medicaid sorry

I feel like whoever comes after Trump is going to basically like be all "put that thing back where it came from or so help me"

murgatroid99

Unfortunately, this feels like the start of a kind of death spiral. Trump basically ran on "undo everything Obama did". If the next president's platform is "undo everything Trump did", then we will basically be entirely stopping any forward progress we might have had.

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 yes, this is a real danger

No, this bill is a definite vision of something past just "undo Obama" that we're going to continue to see for years

@Arperum Right, because they can't control Mexico's side of the border so they have to put the wall further into US territory to get what they want. But doing so means seizing land from private citizens

@Unionhawk I get that, but they are not going to buy up parts between the wall and the river that are outside of their enforcement zone.

They'd have to

Unionhawk

tldr the entire plan is dumb as hell yes

cazc_941

Omfg Quebec lol

Tim Stone

Well, or I presume so. Either way it's going to be hilariously bad for them because people will get angry regardless

Arperum

Why do they have too?

Ok there are too many things to respond to individually so this will apply to all of them: uggggggh we are fuct

@GodEmperorDune It's a good thing the democrats have a clear vision for a 2018 and 2020 world

Yo dawg I heard you like problems so I put trump in charge of the country

Tim Stone

@Arperum I mean if people can't actually get to the land anymore I'm not sure how the government can say that it's still "theirs"

Unionhawk

It's a good thing that they've picked a side in the class war waged against us since the 80s

Arperum

7:16 PM

@TimStone That's my point.

Tim Stone

Right, so someone will at a minimum argue that if they're going to use eminent domain they have to buy all the inaccessible land

cazc_941

Tim Stone

But people in those areas will be angry about them using eminent domain at all. There's not strong support for the physical wall in the areas that the wall would actually be

Now is probably not the best time for me to dive into the next chapter of my book:

@Unionhawk Look we're not Judge Jeanine

> Neill Blomkamp’s 2013 movie Elysium portrays a dystopian Earth in the year 2154. A small elite—the 1 percent, if you will—has decamped for a space station called Elysium. There, they enjoy lives of comfort and leisure, lives that are apparently eternal due their access to miraculous “Med-Bay” technology. Back on Earth, meanwhile, the rest of humanity lives on a crowded, polluted planet, governed by a robotic police force.

WOO

Hm. I don't believe him but I'm also not even sure why he's bothering at this point.

Also like, is it normal to call people by their title when they were literally fired from that job?

Unionhawk

Isn't Judge Napalotano not a judge anymore too but they still call him The Judge?

Yeah, he hasn't been a judge since 1995

Call him Professor I don't give a shit

Tim Stone

At least he wasn't fired from being a judge though I don't think?

Unionhawk

7:32 PM

Probably not

I don't care enough to look, it was the 90s so probably not

Tim Stone

Like if a doctor committed malpractice and couldn't be a doctor anymore it seems weird that people would refer to them as doctor still

Love to be cops

Going forward, police in Del., Md., Va. and W.Va. are on notice that they cannot compel a teen to masturbate in front of them for the purpose of taking his picture, even with a warrant.

Won’t someone think of the sexting?!

Also what cop was like “yeah this is a good plan to blow this sexting case right open”

4th Cir.: This is one of those things that's so bad a police officer can't get immunity even though there's no case expressly saying it's a bad search.
