I’m sure there was a perfectly good reason why he did this; and that everything “Wayne Tracker” said was something that Exxon would be proud to have made public.
And monkeys may fly out of my butt.
Wayne Tracker sounds like a Max Power kind of name.
It ain’t no Carlos Danger. Better than John Barron, though.
You don’t subpoena Wayne Tracker: you strap yourself in and feel the C°’s!
See, everyone thinks that ‘tapp’ was a typo. It wasn’t - it is Trump speech for, well, for something else that I’m not currently clever enough to think up a funny definition for.
Nothing will surpass Carlos Danger.
But on Rachel Maddow’s twitter feed ( @maddow ), this just appeared:
Obviously, I can’t evaluate this at this time. I’m not even sure if she has a habit of doing “clickbait” headlines; I do know she is a liberal commentator, but that’s about it. I don’t know if they are recent-ish, or even if her account has been hacked.
I will be tuning in then, though.
:…and a follow-up tweet from @maddow
If true, not as juicy as I’d hoped, but we’ll see.
I love the fact I can log onto my TV account and set a show to record w/o being at home. Thanks for the heads-up, Galen. We will see if this is anything…
Ha! Reminds me of some of Sir Paul’s pseudonyms (when booking hotels and the like), such as Paul Ramon, or Apollo Vermouth.
Sir Paul doesn’t sext, AFAIC. Just to make sure we’re clear. 
There’s a thread started in Elections for this topic; see you over there!
Defense Secretary Mad-Dog Mattis and Trump loyalist Mira Ricardel are clashing over Ricardel’s requirement that all Defense Department appointees prove their loyalty to Trump, thus making it impossible to fill empty jobs. Mattis is alleged to have said that if she didn’t leave, he would.
So the DOJ is sending out letters to land owners along the border telling them the government is taking their property to build the Wall. They are giving them a take it or leave it offer on their land, otherwise it will be condemned under imminent domain. Aren’t the Republicans opposed to imminent domain?
The property in the article is covered by a treaty with Mexico preventing building on the land.
A woman who is alleged to be working as a front for the Chinese military has bought a penthouse in a Trump building.

My emphasis.
First, it’s eminent domain, not imminent.
Second, you seem to be implying that their choice is either to accept the offer, or simply have the land taken away from them. But that’s not quite how eminent domain works. If they refuse the government offer, the government can still take their land, but it also still has to compensate them. Their refusal of the first government offer does not eliminate the property owners’ right to “just compensation” for the taking.
To be honest, this is, for me, a minor issue in the whole debate over immigration policy. I believe in the principle of eminent domain, and whether or not you like the idea of a border wall, it would clearly qualify as “public use” under the Constitution, and under a whole raft of court rulings. The much more important issue here is whether we should have a wall at all, and, if we should, how the hell it will be paid for.
I think the wall is a stupid idea, a multi-billion dollar boondoggle for private contractors, and a sop to bigots and xenophobes. But the eminent domain question, in this case, is small potatoes.
And no, Republicans are not generally opposed to eminent domain. Eminent domain has long been accepted as a necessary power of government. While there are significant debates over the definition of “public use” (see Kelo v. New London for a prime example), and over what should constitute just compensation, very few people, short of anarchists and a minority of radical libertarians, actually oppose the basic principle.
