Re: Can't keep that trap shut.
Then you can surely see the problems of the current situation in places like California where some inhabitants are subject to the law but do not have the privilege of choosing the lawmakers and may, in fact, owe allegiance to a neighboring nation.
No. I don't see where resident aliens, legal or otherwise, present any "problems of the current situation" like California.
Why is California a problem? What problems?

Re: Prominent Republicans are ok with racism
Republicans: it's more important to defend holding human beings in filthy, standing room only cages than it is to defend fellow Americans from racist slurs.
They can hold humans in filth because those humans are brown. They can slur fellow Americans because those Americans are brown.
They can accomplish both for the same reason. Makes perfectly logical sense.

Re: More blatant illegality
They really are implacably opposed to the rule of law.
Except when they can make up their own law through executive action.

Re: Global Conspiracy from Both Sides
I think the pinnacle was when he forced nuns to perform abortions.
All this time I thought Obama had all those nuns in the national forests to minister to the jihadists. Now I find out they were armed with coat hangers. Whoda thunk.

The issue with the nuns was *their* refusal to allow *their* employees to select abortion coverage in *their* organization's health insurance. Nothing to do with forcing nuns to perform abortions.
You lied.
As the election gets closer we can expect more lies from the alt-reich along with, and many as part of, the Russian disinformation campaign to disrupt our election.
You are a fake-news plant, a disinformation surrogate, either willingly or by gross ignorance.

Oh, I don’t know. A man on suicide watch in a sensitive federal case like this doesn’t get much in the way of opportunities to hang himself, not that it can’t be done, mind you.
First attempt was foiled easily. Makes a second attempt that much rarer.
My own conspiracy theory is that he was counseled that doing the "right thing" would be best as a matter of honor, or expediency or as a favor for favored friends. After the first attempt was foiled his guards were convinced such vigilance was no longer necessary?
Whether he had help or succeed on his own doesn't matter. There are a lot of powerful people from politics, business, academia, art and beyond who are breathing a great sigh of relief.

Re: He goes downhill every day.
They wouldn't be buying stuff that they couldn't sell at a profit.
They would if they want to make us feel good, because, hey, Donald Trump is just that good.
They want to make us feel that we’re okay because they love them some Donald Trump.
So, they need to buy less wheat, which is less cool than the cars we buy from them, and they need to buy more MAGA ball caps.

Except for Boris who is almost as clueless, I think the other leaders already understand why America, not just the media, hate this orange narcissist so much.

Re: Trump and the Trust Issue
Do you still believe Trump's declaration that trade wars are easy to win?
Yes.
Trade wars are easy to win if you don’t mind destroying your own economy along with that of your opponent, which along with Europe’s issues with Britain and the issues in the Middle East and Latin America, leaves the island nation of Tuvalu as the premier economic powerhouse of the planet.
Simple.

Re: Trump and the Trust Issue
Then the island nation of Tuvalu becomes the premier economic powerhouse of the planet and the rest of us have another war but his time with nukes.
Actually it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Chinese to sell off their US Bonds. That would so depress the price of the bonds everyone else we owe trillions to would panic and also move to sell off their bonds further depressing the price then we could buy it all back for pennies on the dollar.
Of course the ensuing collapse of the world economy would precipitate yet another world war over vanishing economic resources but that's OK since our climate problems are going to dump that into our laps sooner than we expect anyway.
We're kinda fucked either way so might as well have a seat, get comfortable, bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.

Re: An Example of What Trump's Wall Means
Trumps wall is simply stupid.
But if built high enough, wide enough, with gun turrets, towers, lights, tank traps, etc, think of all the illegals the wall contractors could employ. Think of it as a really big international public works project, an economic boon to many nations. Maybe even enough to get Mexico to help pay for part of it.
