“National Emergency”: how close to martial law is that?
I don’t like making predictions that involve Trump, but I bet this fuckup of a statement really does come back to bite him in the ass. What an idiot.
I think I’m more concerned about how badly he lies than I am about the lies themselves. We’ve had liars as President before. But we’ve never had such a bad liar as Trump is.
Trump lies like a five year old. He just says whatever he wants to be true, without understanding how easily his lie will be seen as false. This is an indication of an inability to understand how the world works and what other people are thinking.
It can be cute when you find a five year old standing next to a broken lamp and they tell you a dinosaur knocked it over. But Trump’s not cute. Having Trump as President is like finding that same five year old holding a loaded gun; the possibilities of danger being wielded by somebody who you know doesn’t understand it are frightening.
Possibly, but it won’t do much actual damage to him. The redcapped loons will just blame the failure on the court[s] and amplify their glossolalia.
I doubt seriously that Trump himself actually believes there’s a crisis at the border—or that deep down, he’ll give much of a shit if the wall is never built as long as it’s someone else’s fault. His only two real goals are keeping the con going and getting his ego stroked.
Fuck the fence, fuck the emergency. Whatever happened to Space Force?
It’s still up in the air.
…and BEYOND!
OK, emergency time. I have stocked up on water, canned food, duct tape, batteries and so on. I am not an ammo kind of guy, but maybe I will have to re think that. Full set of camping gear ready to go, and I have polished my brown person identification skills. What else do I need to do before I lock the basement door?
It is struggling to cope with Spaced President.
Weaponry.
Ryan Zinke resigned from the Interior Department in the midst of an ethics investigation and turned around right away and joined a lobbying firm run by ex-Trump campaign aides, which also employs Corey Lewandowski.

Whether it’s by design or not, this is a feature of how a kleptocratic, authoritarian regime operates. An economy in which there are favorites, often in exchange for favors. Over time, we become desensitized to it, and companies learn to play ball in this environment, and the kinds of corruption which were once considered exceptional become a new kind of norm.
Trump’s still convinced he can get the Klingons to pay for it.
Well, the SoB already has the military on the border and he’s already ordered them to shoot indiscriminately. So my answer is…
Not close enough for that traitor in the White House.
Amusingly, I had a typo above: Shite House. Maybe that’s actually correct now.
Dingus McGee just admitted that it’s not a national emergency and he just wants to build it faster.
You’ve probably already seen it, but if not, this documentary in which some of the more intelligent of Trump supporters explain the purpose of Space Force is a must-watch.
“I’ve already done a lot of wall for the election … 2020.”
Just wow.
Lower on the intelligence scale than the Red-Footed Booby and the late lamented Dodo.
At the very least, if McConnell really did agree to support the the Declaration only as a means of avoiding a shutdown, it should give him a plausible excise to publicly withdraw that support.
So 1.4 billion for 55 miles of fence. 25 million per mile. How do I get that contact?
Oh, right. I need to sell my soul and praise Trump.
