I now have this phrase, spoken in John Oliver’s voice, stuck in my head as an earworm.
Yes. Now, you don’t have to do that extra book report.
Don’t they teach journalism students grammar?

No. Not any more.

No. Not any more.
“No. Not no more.”
FTFY

That article is a treasure trove. "He would like for us to vote against the [resolution]. But he understands and respects that senators may have different opinions,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) - Understand ? RESPECT ?! Have you even seen Donald Trump, dude ?
Yeah, WTF—words have meanings! :smack:

“International adoptions,” too?? We really don’t want any foreigners here, do we?
“Not consistent with what President Trump said in the State of the Union (address)…”??? Oh, that’s easy: HE FUCKING LIED. Like he does every time he opens his mouth.
I thought they were in favor of international adoptions. Oh, wait, that’s just for Russian kids. As long as they’re not named Magnitsky.
And the Senate makes it official: Trump’s emergency is a sham. In the end 12 Republican Senators voted for the resolution! I’m suprised, but pleased, that so many did the right thing. That makes it, what, 59 to 41? What would it take to get another 8 onboard with a veto override?
Something I haven’t heard anyone else mention: Isn’t an emergency by definition something that needs immediate action? How is a decades-long boondoggle addressing this farce?

May I rescue you by introducing you to Some More News ?

Will it help us write one of the most famous books ever?
“The Art of the Steal”?

“The Art of the Steal”?
Nah, she obviously means the Bible. I mean, have you read Revelations ? If that wasn’t written on LSD, I’ll eat my hat.

*And lo, the Lord didst appear unto myself his humble servant,
with the key to all wisdom on a napkin of the finest linen.
And yea did I address my entreaty to His Holiness and inquire of Him:
“Lord, if this be indeed the key to all wisdom,
how is it that it may be conveyed upon a humble napkin?”
The Lord did turn His visage unto me…
and the voice of the Creator didst rumble the heavens:
“What, you’ve never tried a 'shroom?”*

Republicans have spent decades trying to tie crazier things to the Clintons, so here I bravely put forth the notion that the following involves Trump.
Frank Cali, Gambino mob boss, gunned down in New York gangland hit - ABC7 New York
“The reputed boss of the Gambino crime family was shot and killed steps from his front door on Staten Island in what is believed to be the first shooting death of a mob boss in New York in three decades. …”
Well, Trump HAS always had ties to organized crime, much of it through his main fixer Roy Cohn.

What is the story of Trump and Jeanine Pirro and her mobster ex? I know it all intersects somehow, but I am not sure how.

Phone calls from major donors, worried what Trump might get up to next with his newfound powers.
*“[COLOR=“darkorange”]You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny," Trump said in the interview with Breitbart published on Wednesday. "I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher.
"I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.
"But the left plays it cuter and tougher. Like with all the nonsense that they do in Congress … with all this invest[igations] — that’s all they want to do is — you know, they do things that are nasty. Republicans never played this.”*[/COLOR]
But the Left are the violent ones.

Let’s not put the cart before the horse. How many more Pubbies will be needed for the HOUSE to override?

Oh, of course. And Donald and his fans will maintain that’s the case no matter how many attacks on reporters or Democrats Donald may succeed in inciting his fans to commit.
At some point Donald may find that his enablers are less willing to turn a blind eye. (Look at that Senate vote, today! Cracks are starting to appear…)
And then things could turn very bad, very bad for Donald.
