I win again. No emergency. He gave congress a plan and tried to scare the bejeezus out of white people.
What a huge waste of time. An address from the oval office to the American people and that was it??? Not surprising Trump's the kind of guy who schedules meeting's for something that should have 100% been an email

TBH most of his proposals are right in line with what most Dems want and what most Repubs historically don’t.
We do not have the infrastructure in place to handle the amount of immigrants coming across the southern border. Cool. Fix it.
And even barriers like they already have in place are the right move and are more than likely needed in more places....but of course this is now a political football and the Dems are gonna run with it. Is what it is.

the Dems and Reps are quite close on border security - I can hardly remember any fights between the parties in the pre-trump era on border security. They were on the same page.
Then Trump comes in, and suddely the Rs think the Ds are for open borders and the Ds suddenly have to be all cautious abotu saying they are for border security.
Stupid politics. Stupid Trump. He's ruining everything.

Mueller's not going to get shutdown, no matter who is at the Justice Dept. He's going to finish his business, and we'll see what he finds.
If Mueller were to get shut down, it's pretty much an admission of guilt on Trump's part. That's one reason why it won't happen. Also, just from what's been publicly released, we know that the Mueller investigation has been very fruitful in uncovering criminal behavior. No one but the most delusional Trump fan agrees with the whole "witch hunt" thing.
It's just one more piece of the puzzle, but yesterday's news about Manafort working with and giving Trump campaign polling data to the Russians pretty much seems like collusion, you know?
But I agree with you, our long national nightmare will end soon. Just not how you are hoping it will.
The witch is dead, that was just Putin with a trump puppet.

Nah, LRC has a policy of restricting Things Trump to just this thread.
Probably wise on their part. If they allowed threads on every contentious point related to him, the first page of discussions would be swamped. It's nice to be able to see at least a few running-related threads listed on page 1.

I WAS WRONG. The piece estimated $25bn for materials AND LABOR. Apologies.
However, with a (mostly) steel rather than concrete wall, the total cost of materials alone would approach $100bn. Labor would be additional.
And regarding Flagpole's remark about drugs ("Drugs can be delivered and will be delivered through a variety of means..."), the Fox piece notes this: "According to a 2015 report by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, 95 percent of drugs enter the United States via container ships or other vessels. So in reality, a wall is going to do absolutely nothing to stop drug trafficking."
Yep. Do these window licker Trump supporters actually believe that a drug kingpin will just look at a wall and say, "Well, guess my business is shattered Perhaps I'll open up a store and sell Hummel figurines. "?
The WALL would only be a symbol of keeping brown people out. It won't actually DO that. It won't actually keep drugs out.
Mymymy how Democratic hypocrites conveniently forget.

I doubt it. I think Mueller has a *long* way to go. This case is like a hydra: There are probably now more avenues to be investigated than anyone had imagined when Mueller was getting started. For one example, the Manafort data transfer to Russia--while extraordinarily significant (more than some people seem to grasp)--is going to open up more trails that need to be examined.
Which I'm fine with. I agree with others who've said that the best thing for the USA, its citizens, and the world will be for President Trump to serve his full four years and simply be voted out in 2020.
. . . NOT that that's a given. I also agree with others who've said he stands a solid chance at being re-elected.

Please give examples of Democrats who don't think border security is important. Thanks.

no hypocrisy
virtually NOBODY is for open borders or whatever trump says the Dems are for. NOBODY. Maybe a few hardcore right wing libertarians who think government is bad.
Trump has masterfully taught his weak-brained followers that the Dems aren't for border security. While your article shows that the Dems are for border security.
The Dems need to make that clear and then explain why an ocean to gulf wall is impossible and stupid.
Instead they say 'no wall' which makes it sound like they don't want any walls.
“National Emergency” is his trump card
One National Emergency, One Commander-In-Chief, One Fuehrer!

Rest your weary mind, son. Nothing to concern yourself with here.
There is nothing in the Christian faith that says anything about not lying (unless it is as a false witness against one's neighbor). Hence, Pence lying and/or defending lies is not in any way hypocritical wrt his Christian faith.
Read the Bible. The sin of lying is not limited to false witness against one's neighbor. Lying is condemned throughout scripture.
For instance:
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. --Proverbs 12:22
And to Flagpole's point about Pence in particular:
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. --James 1:26
CORRECT!
So, Rosenstein is about to leave.
We must assume that he knows everything that Mueller knows since Mueller reports to him.
Can Congress Subpoena Rosenstein and Mueller and question them for evidence in support of an impeachment?
Muller has given many documents to state level judiciaries.
The fear is that Mueller's investigation goes to Trump and he squashes it.
The public or at least Congress must know the full results of the investigations.
There are already grounds for impeachment since Trump directed Cohen towards illegal actions benefiting Trump for which Cohen is going to jail for.
There seems to be something there with Flynn. He is getting probably no jail time for his cooperation. That cooperation seems to be evidence of Trump's wrongful actions.
And details are coming out about Manafort which is the conspiring with foreign entities thing (colussion).

Unless he dies quite early in any prison/jail term: not a chance.
I don't think he's going to see any time behind bars in any case, but certainly not for this.
Hmm...I am not quite ready to say that Trump will spend time in prison (but getting closer all the time), but this conspiracy with a foreign power, an ENEMY foreign power at that, is really bad. Don Jr., Kushner, and Manafort will spend time in prison over this, and once it is proven that Trump knew (he definitely did), he has a GREAT chance of spending time in prison too...his ONLY way to avoid is if only the federal charges have teeth and Pence or some other President pardons him. Of all the things Trump will be found guilty of, the conspiracy with Russia is the worst one. Not quite sure how/why you diminish it.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.

Actions speak louder than words. I can say I will lose weight this year. Everyone knows I want to. But do you do what you need to do to lose the weight. And Dems know that illegals means votes and use this issue to try to pain the Republicans as racist as much as they can, again for votes. This is nothing more than politicians trying to keep their jobs.
But regardless of why the Dems are doing it, they need to stop illegal immigration and they are not doing anything about it. And when i mean nothing about it, thousands pour in every month, so whatever they think they are doing, they suck at it. And a wall works. Works in Israel as well as going to the ballgame. People are idiots to say otherwise.
This is about trying to divide the country more than the actual need to stop illegal immigration.
