It's... in the Constitution.

If Cernovich is actually worried that children are in any sort of danger from James Gunn being reinstated, then he is a fucking idiot. In fact, I'm pretty damn certain he doesn't actually believe that and that he is just being disingenuous to own the libs.I'm not surprised that Cernovich is going 'I'm just worried about the children in Hollywood' today, but I'm still disappointed. Like anyone believed he thought that A: children were at risk or that B: he'd done anything to prevent Gunn having a career in Hollywood.
Jeb! had all the early money.Money is going to be really hard to come by for anyone until the nomination is sealed up
Really that alone is why toppling Bernie/Biden will be really hard to do

Pres Trump in oval office says he spoke with NZ prime minister "to express the sorrow of our entire nation." Trump called the shooting a "horrible, horrible thing." And then, he went on to talking about US border security: "Crimes of all kinds coming through our southern border."
Trump said: "If we had the proper protections, we wouldn't have to apprehend them." He called bill intended to revoke declaration "dangerous" and "reckless."
"I will be signing and issuing a veto," Trump said. "People hate the word invasion, but that's what it is."
Vice President Mike Pence standing near Trump says: "I don't know that I've ever been more proud than to be standing next to you today." He added the "crisis at the border is a crisis all across this nation" & to Trump said "You're keeping your word by vetoing this legislation."
AG William Barr in Oval says: The emergency order "clearly authorized under the law" and the "humanitarian and security crisis" is "exactly the kind of emergency" upon which action warranted.

Trump, asked if he sees white nationalism as a growing threat around the world: "I don't really. I think it's a small group of people."
They're not going to jail but they're beyond human trash for enabling this racist loon.
The majority leader has way too much power. One person controlling whether legislation even comes up for a vote has proven to be far too exploitable.Amazing how McConnell essentially removed the need for Trump to veto anything just by not holding votes for anything he wouldn't sign; even if we could get 2/3rds on it
Only didn't happen this time because he couldn't stop it
I love Beto's thing of standing on a table and delivering his remarks.
It's a damned good way to break a leg if you're anything like a college friend of mine.
Granted, that involves being drunk and dancing to Journey while on the table, but Beto might do that!
The Speaker has the same power but yeah, it's too much. Both houses should change the rules to allow the minority leader to force votes on bills that have enough support to pass.The majority leader has way too much power.

Court challenge limbo. Hopefully untill the fool is out of office.So what happens now? Court challenges? When does he get access to the money?
The court challenges have already been filed in several states from different points of attack (PR is suing on the basis of emergency funds being diverted for instance) and as far as I know the Trump admin hasn't even finalized the design of any wall. We should be really glad that these fascists are so incompetent.So what happens now? Court challenges? When does he get access to the money?

NEW: Asked if he sees white nationalism as a rising global threat, Pres. Trump tells @TerryMoran, "I don't, really. I think it's a small group of people that have very, very serious problems." http://abcn.ws/2hFejwL

Beto O'Rourke: "Beyond a shadow of a doubt that the president sought to collude with a foreign power against the United States to undermine our democracy. Beyond a shadow of a doubt the president sought to obstruct justice in the investigation into what happened in 2016."
But, he adds, he's not calling on impeachment, saying Trump will be removed at the ballot. "I'm not asking congress to do one thing or another. You're asking if the president committed impeachable offenses. Yes. Period."

Okay, so there's pretty much no way he'll be able to campaign on how he's building the thing? Not without lying anyways. We aren't actually going to see new wall being built?The court challenges have already been filed in several states from different points of attack (PR is suing on the basis of emergency funds being diverted for instance) and as far as I know the Trump admin hasn't even finalized the design of any wall. We should be really glad that these fascists are so incompetent.
I did not know this was a thing. How is it possible for the Senate to not have a similar rule? Doesn't that imbalance the two houses?
The wall is actually being built inside of us right now, around each of our hearts.Okay, so there's pretty much no way he'll be able to campaign on how he's building the thing? Not without lying anyways. We aren't actually going to see new wall being built?
He's on multiple occasions claimed that the wall is already being built or is finished, sometimes in the course of the same moment of claiming that the Democrats are standing in the way of the wall being built. There is no reality surrounding any of this nonsense.Okay, so there's pretty much no way he'll be able to campaign on how he's building the thing? Not without lying anyways.

Trump lies whether he's campaigning or not, and he's lied plenty already about what's happening with the border.Okay, so there's pretty much no way he'll be able to campaign on how he's building the thing? Not without lying anyways. We aren't actually going to see new wall being built?
He already said during the 2018 campaign Trump should be impeached. What good would it do him now to backtrack?
I have never hated anyone more intensely than this motherfucker.
If you're a moron or a hateful person.
True, and that's what I mean. He'll continue to say that he's building it and make "FINISH THE WALL" his big campaign slogan, but nothing will actually be built.He's on multiple occasions claimed that the wall is already being built or is finished, sometimes in the course of the same moment of claiming that the Democrats are standing in the way of the wall being built. There is no reality surrounding any of this nonsense.
It's refreshing in a way that the whole world can now know Trump the way I've known him my whole life as a black man who grew up in NYC. Seeing the way he was normalized over the years into this media personality made me sick to my stomach but now everyone gets to experience what a piece of shit he is everyday.I have never hated anyone more intensely than this motherfucker.
