Sally Yates: POTUS' latest temper tantrum is not about border security

POTUS’ latest temper tantrum is not about border security. Like a spoiled two year old holding his breath, he is holding our nation hostage—trying to force taxpayers to foot the bill for his vanity project he promised Mexico would fund. Meanwhile, the country suffers.

So, it is expected that since no reputable university will build him a library, he will force the taxpayers to build him a monument. And, use that project to break the cohesion of the DEMs.

When terrorists or other criminal sorts demand payment of some sort in exchange for whatever it is that they are holding from someone, that is called ransom or extortion. It is time that the Dems start screaming that Trump is a terrorist of the highest order for what he is doing with the shutdown. Demanding $5 billion+ which is only the beginning of his demand is worthy of criminal charges, which is highly unlikely. I don't believe that there have been words created yet that describes Trump, and his behavior.
RANSOM IS WHAT IT MUST BE CALLED FROM THE HIGHEST ROOFTOPS !!

Or when Democrats control all of government, nominate her for a federal judge, heck, SC.

Should she elect to remain in a "non-political" world and doing her wonderful work to protect and preserve the Constitution, she'd be an outstanding candidate for AG.
The irony is how the current office has been so polluted be what IQ45 and the Pugs have done to the integrity of the office.

I would love to see Sally in the next Democratic Administration as AG.

or, if she wants, she can be VP with Kamala Harris. That would give us East coast and West coast...and two very powerful women.

Dotard went from concrete to steel for a reason. It's always adulation and money for him.
