Trump threatens years-long shutdown, national emergency if he doesn’t get wall funding

President Donald Trump once again unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding, threatening press conference, this time following his White House meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse causing the government shutdown.

In a long, meandering briefing in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.

“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“

When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”

Trump also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of national emergency over border security to build it without congressional approval.

“I could do it if I wanted,” Trump said.

just so you know all the people not getting paid are also at risk of not getting unemployment either because the shutdown has gone on so long. ppls food, disability, and Medicaid benefits are going to b restricted. he is literally willing to let Even More people starve and die for a stupid fucking wall he won’t even be able to build. i don’t want hear shit about “negotiating” and uwu seeing the other side. he is killing people.

youve really gotta love a functional government

hi i have a document that i made of all TERFs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) or transmisogynists that i’ve seen using the #lesbiansafe tag. this is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all transmisogynists (that would be impossible), it is only ones that i’ve seen in this one tag. this list is not so that you can harass these people, it is only for blocking so you can safely peruse the lesbiansafe tag without seeing transmisogyny or having transmisogynists interact with the posts you put in that tag. please do not interact with any of these blogs.

i’ll try to update it regularly but you can dm me if you see a transmisogynist posting in the tag that is not on the list. most of the blogs on this list are very obvious about being transmisogynist, but if you can’t figure out what got them on the list, try searching their blog for “trans” or “terf”, or look at the urls of the ppl they reblog from.

the lesbiansafe tag is meant to be safe for all lesbians, especially trans lesbians. it was created with this in mind. transmisogynists make the tag unsafe. block them all even if you are not a trans lesbian, because that will help protect any trans lesbian followers that you may have.

here is the link to the google doc.

so someone just said they’re “really interested in history” how careful do you have to be?

 “i just think history is interesting in general! i’m not interested in any specific part of it”: this person is most likely safe. never drop your guard though

“i’m interested in this specific subject or time period in history. (ex. ancient egypt,  the golden age of piracy, the history of the printing press”: still probably safe. be on the lookout for certain risky historical subjects. you should know them you see them 

“i’m really into WW2 history”: this is the caution zone, there’s plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2, but if they start talking about how Operation Sealion totally could have succeeded, it’s time to abort

 “i’m specifically into roman history, the crusades, prussian military history, and WW2”: danger! do NOT talk about history with this person. in fact, do not talk to this person at all. you will regret it, you do not want to know what they think of the treaty of versailles or why germany lost the first world war

“I was really into ancient greek mythology in middle school”: this person is gay

Police in Canada can now demand breath samples in bars, at home

It may sound unbelievable, but Canada’s revised laws on impaired driving could see police demand breath samples from people in bars, restaurants, or even at home. And if you say no, you could be arrested, face a criminal record, ordered to pay a fine, and subjected to a driving suspension.

You could be in violation of the impaired driving laws even two hours after you’ve been driving. Now, the onus is on drivers to prove they weren’t impaired when they were on the road.

“It’s ridiculous, it’s basically criminalizing you having a drink at your kitchen table,” Paul Doroshenko, a Vancouver criminal defence lawyer who specializes in impaired driving cases, told Global News.

“If you start to drink after you get home, the police show up at your door, they can arrest you, detain you, take you back to the (police station) and you can be convicted because your blood alcohol concentration was over 80 milligrams (per 100 millilitres of blood) in the two hours after you drove.”

people hear this shit and forget that there’s stuff like reasonable suspicion and the necessity to provide evidence to prove that u are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. 

Except that no longer applies. Cops don’t need a reason or evidence to demand you take this test, and if you refuse they can charge you:

“Changes to Section 253 of the Criminal Code of Canada took effect in December giving police greater powers to seek breath samples from drivers who might be driving while impaired.

Under the new law, police officers no longer need to have a “reasonable suspicion” the driver had consumed alcohol. Now, an officer can demand a sample from drivers for any reason at any time.”
