OrlandoDem2
OrlandoDem2's JournalDemocrats just need to say 4 things: we support border security,
Trump promised that Mexico would pay, Trump bragged hed shut down the government, and we support a solution to our immigration policy dating back to one that George W Bush supported.
I hope they dont get sucked into long-winded debates on talk news shows. Keep all all short and simplistic to reach as many people as possible.
More proof that you should not teach in FL
This states hatred of teachers is out of control. If you plan to move here to teach or if you plan to major in education and go into teaching, then change your major now!! The pay is awful and the working conditions are literally a danger to your overall mental and physical health.

So teachers in Pinellas County are at somewhat of an impasse in contract negotiations.
For this type of news, the initial response is usually ho.
Followed emphatically by hum.

Its true, this headline could not be less stunning. First of all, its the nature of unions and management. Its also predictable in a state that views public schools as disdainfully as the politicians of Florida do.
So why fret about it this time?
Two reasons:
No. 1, this is not your typical salary dispute. The teachers are not raising a stink about a proposed 2.55 percent pay bump. While teachers have walked off the job in states across the nation this year to protest dwindling paychecks, the union in Pinellas is more concerned about bureaucratic demands.
Does Trump have to win in 2020 to avoid indictment?
If a sitting president cant be indicted as many pundits say, and if the statute of limitations on charges of campaign finance violations run out in 2022, I would think hed have to win again to avoid prosecution. If he is impeached and somehow we can find 18 GOP Senators to vote for removal, I guess he could be indicted but Pence would pardon. And if he loses in 2020, the statute of limitations wouldnt have run out and could be indicted.
Any thoughts?
Simply put, we must win the WH in 2020. I don't think
we can take the Senate in 2020. At least the odds arent great. Yes, 22 Republicans are up for re-election. But they are almost all in red states. Doug Jones is very vulnerable so thats quite likely a loss. If we want a say in SCOTUS nominations we will have to defeat Trump.
Should Democrats in the House revive the old immigration bills from
the Bush administration? If I recall correctly they had bipartisan support. I believe they called for border security, provisions for undocumented people to remain legally, etc. of course, there was no wall.
I personally think we should. If it passes, it takes immigration off the table. If it dies in the Senate or is vetoed it is proof the KGOP doesnt want to solve the problem.
Moving forward, Amendment 4 passes and restores voting rights to 1.5M Floridians
This is essentially a reform of the criminal justice system and will benefit African Americans. We need to register them and get them to vote in 2020.
Tonight isnt going to end well for us but the future is still bright.
