Actually they are taking DOD discretionary funds to build a wall or just put razor wire on top of the existing 656 mile fence.

Also, by detaining everyone asking for asylum they are creating a crisis.

They are not prepared to handle those people.

Usually they are released into the states pending a hearing.

Disaster

The panda cam was turned off due to the shutdown

despite the federal government shutdown, a historic clock tower at the Trump International Hotel remained open for its handful of visitors, staffed by green-clad National Park Service rangers.

Park Service spokes person says, ‘no big deal, move along.’

That is a big deal. That tower is much easier to access with guests than the washing ton monument. You can see fine.

It must stay open. Since it is in the Trump hotel now.

There is no National emergency at the Southern border.

The only urgency regards the removal of our treasonous President.

Big fan of the WaPo but the Pinnochio meter is the goddamn dumbest shit.

Why? You need a KISS method to make people comprehend. Of course DJT broke it, but... Is it any better/worse then the one that maxes out with Pants on Fire?

Sounds like there is no resolution until after Thursday. DJT is heading to the border Thursday he has to be planning to sharpen a political axe there defaming the other side because it will not be a celebration.

OTOH I am shocked that he will be in such a dangerous place in the midst of the insurgent invasion and all that.

Terrorists coming through our southern border are Trump's WMDs. He and Hannity must have had a date to go see Vice recently.

This conversation about the top marginal tax rate -- sparked by AOC -- is long overdue

LETS TAX TRENT

Not Trent's income, but Trent himself.

It not really anything different then the US has had for years except that it adds more brackets. Where that top bracket is would be the question.

Now Mr. Scalise's tweet is just playing possum and propping up stupidity (he's got a CS degree so he understand complexity making this a snap for him). Aside from the perception of what your tax rate is (income filling up bins at progressively greater rates not Income times bracket %), the other battle cry will be about all of us filing our taxes on a postcard.

I think "we" do a pretty good job of that, he seems pretty taxed by us when he turns up.

Because it's just WELL ACTUALLY in a column. I don't think I'd hate it as much if the holier-than-thou actual rating of lies was there.

Oh shit, now hearing spew about RBG not being fit to remain on the supreme court.

Remember when diplomats in Cuba were to believed to have been victim of some sort of sonic sound attack? Two years later, turns out it was crickets

CBS caves, will air Trump's incoherent rant tomorrow night. I'm sure ABC, Fox, and NBC will follow suit now (Fox News, Fox Business, and CNN already stated they would air it)

COMMUNIST crickets

Tracking the Donald by each state.

There are nary purple states any longer. The red States are trending pink.

There are only 20 red to redish states.

Now if not removed, the only thing that will matter is the 13 keys to the Presidency.

If the election was today the Donald would win. While 6 to seven keys should turn before the election, that is not guaranteed.

The Donald must be removed.

This notion of a national emergency is related to distractions to allow the Deripaska sanctions to be lifted and outright halting of Mueller and Co.

The wall is not the issue, it is a distraction.

I have a lot of neighbors who now walk their dogs many times a day. Fda researchers, senior govt managers, and so on.

It is pretty interesting.
