Oh wow.

Which predates superchat

The capslock stems from people in chat trying to get attention from two people that didnt pay attention to chat because they were busy hosting the damn stream.

Lol

I wonder....With all the democrats that are going to run for President and are going to asking for money from Democrats. The same democrats that left wing alternative media..(TYT, etc) are also asking money from......Wonder if there will be a impact?

Well Kamala Harris and Beto have all the big donors backing them, including those that jumped ship from the Republicans. I have a hunch we'll see Beto jump on board Harris' ticket as VP and then they'll be the funding juggernaut for the primary and beyond.

You know I saw Bernie raised 1 million in 4 hours after announcing.....after 7 hours it was.....still 1 million

Lol.

I don't think the dem establishment is happy that he's joining the race, as it appears they're coalescing around Harris

Which is probably why they moved the California primary to Super Tuesday, she's expected to win her home state so if she picks up one or two others that day she'll be way ahead from an optics perspective

So then the press and everything will just jump on board and steam roll the other candidates... At least that's probably their plan

Since I expect the primary on their side to devolve into internet Blood sports essentially

I still wonder how much Bernie 2016 was just not Clinton......guess we will find out

Something just occured to me, is Bernie running as a Democrat? If so, how? I thought they changed the rules so that he would have to change his party to Democrat last year to run, specifically to stop him from doing it again.

he has to change back to Dem....He will and they will let him

I finally finished the latest episode of the podcast, well I still have to get through all the super chat at the end but it seems Matt and Blonde got sucked in by the misinformation about the spending bill, which is understandable because man there was a lot of it.

wow committed to listening to it all. Spending bills are always so complicated its almost impossible to know all that is in them. I've read them.....

Well, you know you can only see what's inside one once it's passed.

Thems the rules.

The big things are that there were different drafts of the bill and two of the big negative provisions they referrenced aren't in the version that was passed and the worst one isn't as big a deal as some are making it out to be. Unfortunately Anne Coulter has been running around with her hair on fire instead of being more rational.

The bit about needing local political approval was changed, the DHS needs to consult with local officials and notify them but don't need their approval to do anything.

spending bills are awful cause they don't say X dollars for this project. They say X dollars for XYZ organization. Then you have to look up what XYZ does

There's no mileage limit on the wall, the 55 miles now just refers to what can likely be built with the money provided.

Finally the worst provision 224 about unaccompanied minors doesn't mean what a lot of people think it does. " Official Sponsor" has, as the DHS made clear in a press release, a specific legal definition that doesn't just mean anyone with a minor who gets to the border. It requires filling paperwork with the DHS

Combine that with the "remain in Mexico" initiative and the pool of people it refers two is miniscule.

The bill was still a shit sandwich but not the disaster some are suggesting...

The mistake Trump made was trusting Paul Ryan and not ramming through stuff when Republicans were more in control. But this bill passed with a VETO PROOF majority so if Trump had bounced it back Congress may have loaded up with more shit that wasn't just time handouts to the left

His big promise was the wall so you would think would have been the first priority...

Well the other thing I would say is that it's shitty that it got to this point but I think it's far more likely than not that the emergency declaration is upheld... Much as the the judiciary would like to stop it there's pretty firm legal ground there

The Dems say its not a emergency. I bet if I looked back at all the Emergency Declarations over half weren't

Marbury vs. Madison kinda ties their hands, because stepping into what is and is not an emergency is very clearly a "political question" (a legal term) which according to that case is outside the purview of the court

I'm still get amazed how congress keeps giving up powers

They did this in the late 60s to facilitate NeoCon wars

And interventions

Basically the deep state and swamp could operate more freely

actually started earlier look what Woodrow Wilson passed and all the progressive stuff in the early 19th

They rewrote it in the 60s to give the executive more power when an emergency is declared

Lmao

Muh neocon wars

So what about the rule that says that you have to get the approval of local elected officials to build the wall in those areas?

That was in a previous draft, as I said. Now they have to collect comments and notify local officials but the DHS has the ultimate say and can override their wishes.
