~BREAKING~ MORONGO, CA (ALT-UNIVERSE AP) - Used car salesman Donald Trump of Duarte won $100 playing the slots, then he and his wife Melanie enjoyed a fine 2-for-1 steak dinner at Cielo, perched 27 stories above ground. He complained about the meal and was given a free custard.
#USMNT vs #France ends in a 1-1 tie, which is actually a big win. It doesn't matter, but it's a big win.
"Here, have a cheap tree!!!" the #France team screamed in unison as they tied it up against the #USMNT powerhouse.
How can leftwing Robin Hoods Warren/Ocasio-Cortez/De Blasio/Sanders/etc. get away with having very pro-corporate #immigration stances?
Plus, Trump has now made pro-amnesty the default #GOP stance. His proxies won't make smart anti-amnesty arguments even if they knew them.
How can leftwing Robin Hoods Liz Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, De Blasio, Sanders, etc. get away with having very pro-corporate #immigration stances?
For #MAGA, bloggers, #Breitbart, etc. they just aren't smart enough. They obsess over things that don't work: Pocahontas etc.
How can leftwing Robin Hoods like Liz Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, De Blasio, Sanders, etc. get away with having very pro-corporate #immigration stances?
#GOP leaders won't go after them on that issue because they agree. Anything they went after them on would rebound.
.@repjoecrowley: @ocasio2018 says you're pro-corporate (aided by TYT & others).
You can strike back by pointing out her #immigration stance is a pro-corporate libertarian dream. #Koch bros, US Chamber, Tyson Foods, & WalMart would fund her on that alone.
Apparently there's something called "e-golf" in #France. It's "100% electronic". Because sometimes even riding in a golf cart is too much exertion.
Thankfully, Trump doesn't watch #soccer so he'll never know about that.
