(13,903 posts)some bad acts in the future, if they ever got into the US. This is the emergency.
The wall is to prevent an emergency of some undetermined kind at some undetermined place, blah, blah, blah.

(1,201 posts)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.

(4,423 posts)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.

(22,990 posts)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.

(7,905 posts)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.

(15,306 posts)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.
