Gillibrand embracing axeing ICE. I think that's a horrific move politically. It's just too aggressive. You come to November of 2020 with that kind of position and it's over.

ICE blows but Trump will just use another personal army or enlist more of the military to do his dirty work.
I forgot to mention the real shit bomb, when we do in fact get rid of something with an iota of government oversight and our GOP lead congress puts some private enterprise in charge in a heart beat. They're probably salivating right now at the prospect.

Mexico elected Andrés López Obrador as president. Congrats mexicans!
Great news after the wave of right wing presidents in Argentina, Colombia and Chile.
Hopefully Argentina gets back on track next year.

In Denmark, Harsh New Laws for Immigrant ‘Ghettos’
COPENHAGEN — When Rokhaia Naassan gives birth in the coming days, she and her baby boy will enter a new category in the eyes of Danish law. Because she lives in a low-income immigrant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.”
Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to enroll children in preschool up to the age of six.
That tough approach is embodied in the “ghetto package.” Of 22 proposals presented by the government in early March, most have been agreed upon by a parliamentary majority, and more will be subject to a vote in the fall.
Some are punitive: One measure under consideration would allow courts to double the punishment for certain crimes if they are committed in one of the 25 neighborhoods classified as ghettos, based on residents’ income, employment status, education levels, number of criminal convictions and “non-Western background.” Another would impose a four-year prison sentence on immigrant parents who force their children to make extended visits to their country of origin — described here as “re-education trips” —in that way damaging their “schooling, language and well-being.” Another would allow local authorities to increase their monitoring and surveillance of “ghetto” families.
Some proposals have been rejected as too radical, like one from the far-right Danish People’s Party that would confine “ghetto children” to their homes after 8 p.m. (Challenged on how this would be enforced, Martin Henriksen, the chairman of Parliament’s integration committee, suggested in earnest that young people in these areas could be fitted with electronic ankle bracelets.)
“They spend too much Danish money,” said Dorthe Pedersen, a hairdresser, daubing chestnut dye on a client’s hairline. “We pay their rent, their clothing, their food, and then they come in broken Danish and say, ‘We can’t work because we’ve got a pain.’”
Yildiz Akdogan, a Social Democrat whose parliamentary constituency includes Tingbjerg, which is classified as a ghetto, said Danes had become so desensitized to harsh rhetoric about immigrants that they no longer register the negative connotation of the word “ghetto” and its echoes of Nazi Germany’s separation of Jews.Full article at the link.
“We call them ‘ghetto children, ghetto parents,’ it’s so crazy,” Ms. Akdogan said. “It is becoming a mainstream word, which is so dangerous. People who know a little about history, our European not-so-nice period, we know what the word ‘ghetto’ is associated with.”

There's something ultra special about warning anyone involved in many team sports about taxes considering how stadiums/arenas are funded.
And that athletes often have a special tax reserved just for them and how there is no real way for them lessen (re: evade) taxes on their salary since it is so well known.

How many times do you think the GOP/Tea Party said things like "Gee, our views are too extreme maybe should tone it down" in the last few years? Pretty much never. And why would they? Being extreme and peddling to their base is what got them W after W.

Oh I'm very much about going extremely far left. I just don't think the abolish ICE thing or open borders in general is necessarily a position the party is all that invested in. I know the party doesn't want to see blatant injustice, which is why you see the reactions you've seen over the past few weeks, nor do we want tax dollars spent on shit like a massive border wall, but flat out abolishing ICE is a pretty definitive position in regards to immigration policy that I don't think the party is all that sure about.

I don't see this as a straight line to "open borders".

We've seen how shit law enforcement can get. Specialization can do nothing but improve the chances at better training and understanding of their jobs. ICE as defined is fine and it should probably be a thing. It's in what they've been directed to do, and their execution of these directives that deserve scrutiny.
The right don't often fold, but they do take L's. You can look at Obamacare as a rather big one. They received biteback from their own party on how far they might go in wrecking healthcare for their own constituents. The left needs to take a winning attitude, but that doesn't mean that there are certain positions that aren't better off avoided.
WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS — U.S. President Donald Trump warned the World Trade Organization on Monday that "we'll be doing something" if the United States is not treated properly, just hours after the European Union said that U.S. automotive tariffs would hurt its own vehicle industry and prompt retaliation.this fucking moron
Trump, speaking to reporters during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at the White House, said, "The WTO has treated the United States very, very badly and I hope they change their ways."
His comments came after the Axios news website reported that Trump's administration has drafted proposed legislation that would allow Trump to raise tariffs at will and negotiate special tariff rates with specific countries — two basic violations of WTO rules.

Hey guys, let me ask you something.
You know how when Dems were rolling on the floor snickering their asses off at Berniecrats for losing a lot of local primaries and stuff, etc?
Well, what I'm wondering is, were all those losses worth it now, after Ocasio-Cortez pulled off the biggest upset in this midterm season so far, and practically stole them Dems across they dirty ass mouths?
You tell me.
Who's snickering now?
You tell me.

When others on the left said to stop giving your saint a pass for his habitual foot in mouth disorder, people got called crazy. Then he's down in D.C. giving talks from another dimension, about how people on the left took...some form of W with this election (?), and threw a black woman under the bus for saying step to these Nazi Klansmen. He sounded like every other establishment dem, but what do I know.
