We lose 300 Americans a week, 90% of which comes through the Southern Border. These numbers will be DRASTICALLY REDUCED if we have a Wall!

Ah, thank you. It's hard to know the level of derangement and whether it's worth trying to dig out a thought.

I don't know nothing about Mo Brooks, but there was a part of an interview I saw there he was all in on 15000 Americans being killed per year due to illegals coming through the southern border. He came up with 2000 murders committed by this crew and ascribed 13000 to drug overdoses, specifically H. When he had the Kato Institute facts and figures put in front of his he basically called them partisan lies, and flat out labeled this information as propaganda. When told that most of the drugs enter through legal ports of entry including the US mail he went sort of bat shit crazy calling the information flawed, misleading, fake, and the presenters opinion, then he shifted to blaming the Democrats for the shut down.

That guy is something else. Is he a raging super Trumper that I just missed?

Does Lindsay Graham even know who he is? He is all over the place with his positions. Less flip flop and more flat out crazy.

Someone found the audio of the current GOP leadership calling Obama 'The Imperial President' governing by fiat.

Bingo, we have two parties at this point:

Far right (GOP)

Centrist (Democratic Party) Hard to say whether it is Center-Left or Center-Right by the rest of the developed world's standards. Probably a little bit of Column A and a little bit of Column B.

TP absolutely has a home in the Democratic Party in 2019. We should be welcoming him with open arms. We need as many allies as possible to rid ourselves of the GOP scurge next year.


I don't identify as either Democrat or Republican. "Social liberal, fiscal conservative" is kind of Libertarian, but not the nutty Putin-inspired Rand Paul kind of Libertarian. And I do (mostly) support US engagement in the world - NATO, etc - so not so Libertarian.

On this board, I don't expect to convert anyone to the conservative views I still hold. But conservatives like me and liberals of all stripe have a lot more in common in 2019, especially in regard to a full and furious rejection of Donald Trump and the ugly racism that enables him.

The good news is that Trump will be dead or in jail before the 2020 election. But the ugliness does not die with him.

I do hope that when the Russia story is fully told, we'll understand what has been driving Graham's behavior.

This is an executive privilege fight. Basically privilege exists to flout the law, and will not work. Nixon claimed executive privilege for six months before the court put the kibosh on that.

I am hoping for an immediate dump to the NYT and WP.

Dem House will also immediately subpoena the entire work product, not to mention the report.

It is a very good thing the American people voted to impeach the Donald in the last election, otherwise, the THREE branches of govt would be all running a scam. No telling what would have happened with the court.

Certainly many would have sued.

As it is, the subpoena power of the house will not be successfully challenged.
