Hmmm. McConnell has the votes as it already passed unanimously which means he has enough votes to override a presidential veto. Put the present blame where it belongs...Mitch McConnell.

"We" need to cut through all the crap and get right to the heart of it.
-trimp is a liar.
-there is NO emergency
-McConnell rewfuses to do his job
- wall has nothing to do with anything except trumps ego
- DACA has NOTHING to do with some fucking wall

and-- RIGHT AT THE TOP---
-trump and rusdsians arew intent on destroying America and Amewrican Democracy

That Acosta is making Dumps point that where there is a wall communities are safe and migrants do not cross it is the thousand miles where there is no wall that is at issue.

Acosta isn't showing a "wall", it's a steel slat fence, chainlink, and barbed wire. People and other animals can fit through those slats once the chainlink is cut.

How many voices are whispering in his ear from the extremes of the right wing, from the Koch machine, from the Kremlin, from Wall Street, from the fracking and mining conglomerates, from Saudi royals, from the Israeli right wing, or from Lord Rupert et al?

The Republican Senate has no reason to back down. They live in fear of either Trump or the Russian blackmailers, or both.

When 37 million people begin to starve and lose their homes and medical coverage what then?

You really have to wonder what they plan to do when the entire Steele dossier is fully proven in Congressional hearings, and in the public record, and in full view of the voters and the rest of the world.

I don't know nothing about the "art" of psychology but I would think that this guy has some serious brain wiring problems - (Bicameral Mind).

And none of his cult members care about whether or not the Steele dossier is 80-90-100% correct. That's not why the love their boy.

Unauthorized immigration dropped by near 80% from 2000 to 2014 under Obama. If there were a crisis (i know there isn’t) it happened under trump.
