Oh, I know that. I don't think Trump knows about the land thing though. ... Probably doesn't. Maybe?
The interes
They were already talking on the news this afternoon that it might be a power to look at curtailing for the future.
I didn't even see what I did there until you saw it and now I'm going to pretend it was on purpose
Best part of option 1 is that mot republicans leaders don't even want the wall and will be trading it for stuff they loathe. :-)
I'm 99% sure Graham is a shameless lickspittle, but I'm still ooooone percent uncertain he might be trying to shove Trump into ruin.
Like, that shit is just straight up Wormtongue, no ice no chaser.
Historically, isn't this about the time in a dysfunctional government when the leader gets shivved by one of his "allies?"
Et tu, Turtle?
Et tu, Turtle?
Man Lindsey why couldn't you have a spine like this republican.
Oh...wait.
I really feel like after Graham lost his friend, he sort of realized all he really has is his job, and, he's going to hang on to it for dear life.
This is true, and I feel like Trump declaring a "national emergency" on this would make it so much easier for democrats to use the same on a gun ban.
I sit every day in awe of the Democrats who actively did not want Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House. In this time. During this presidency. I sleep better every day knowing she has the gavel and she is the one with the balls and know how to check Trumps bullshit.
In regards to my post about the 30%, I know they're stupid pieces of shit largely fueled by racism and misogyny. What I meant was more along the lines of what the hell happened to those people to make them that way. It can't all be blamed on racism. That's gotta come from somewhere.
Also, I really wish more Democrats and the media would direct attacks against McConnell over the shutdown. They should be stressing the fact that he could end this today by bringing the bill to the floor and overriding the veto.

Then you wake up and remember RBG has missed a week of court without any word.
Yeah, it comes from:
- Their racist parents and grandparents
- Fox News and conservative radio
- Living in super rural areas where seeing a black person is remarkable enough that it's brought up at the dinner table
Stop fucking with my one good moment of the day man! Not cool! ;)
RBG has an event scheduled in LA for 1/29 that hasn't been canceled. Tickets go on sale next Wednesday, 1/16. If they cancel it before then, I'll be a little worried, though she could be fine and still recovering even if she can't attend.
Read this and feel better:
CNBC: Top cancer doctors expect Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg back on the bench by February
Probably shouldn't be that surprising that she needs time to recuperate, especially when most everything else points to her being fine.
Oh you mean there's a chance that Ukrainian Oligarchs are pro Russia and helping?
Say it ain't so.
Right. The procedure she had takes 4-7 weeks for recovery even in a younger person. She only had it on December 21. This is normal.
Per that Politico article earlier, the Trump administration doesn't know any more than we do. They just hope she goes one way or the other because they're bad people.
I mean, this could be it, but we haven't gotten any evidence of that being the case.
I see. Well, regarding Senate Republicans, they aren't going to turn on Trump any earlier than they'd (potentially) feel a need to. Certainly not before Mueller's findings are made public. Remember that the GOP didn't turn on Nixon until nearly the last moment possible, when the tapes came out. This isn't to say the same thing is going to happen here, but it's important to keep in mind.
Regarding Mueller, everything we know about him points to a man who serves his country first and does what is asked of him. And it's currently his specific duty to investigate and get to the bottom of this mess, regardless of politics. I think he understands that if Trump is guilty of all the things we hope he is that it's better for our country and for our democracy to have it laid out. The weight of the Presidency would not overrule the weight of his sense of duty to the country, imo.
Likewise, we should be laying the groundwork to stack the courts. Just in case.
If the GOP had any form of principles( probably would have never got to this point though), Trump declaring a national emergency would cause some sort of schism within the party.
1. Declare national emergency
2. Add seats to the courts
Badda bing badda boom.
Oh, I support stacking the Court even if RBG lives until 2044.
Dumb question probably, but how would stacking the courts go when republicans inevitably come back to power? Can't they just stack it in their favor?
You'd be surprised.
When you aren't where you thought you'd be in life and believe you deserve better, you'll cling to anything that tells you you're superior. And anyone who will tell you you're right.
So if he tries this how the hell do you get the land? Is this going to be held up by the courts?
Seems like something a dictator would do huh.

Yes, then maybe when democrats get back in power it'll be clearly crazy enough that a constitutional amendment can fix the whole sittuation. Or we just go back and forth forever, which would be better than an always conservative court.
There are still ongoing court fights related to attempts at seizing land on the border from when Dubya was President.
So....
Looks like Turtle allowed a vote on backpay for furloughed workers once the shutdown ends. House is voting on it tomorrow and Cheeto is saying he'll sign it.
Can a Democratic president stop defending the wall in the court?

the alt-right is just eating that up. But it's not even funny. I mean, is that what they really want Trump to do now, just say "dear diary" over and over again anytime somebody actually reports on reality.
Ok why am I asking that question...
I mean, Trump's DoJ stopped defending the ACA in court, so...
Someone tell Trump what a pocket veto is if he wants a new gimmick.
I have no idea what this meme is.
