Why do TPM and the rest of the media continue to say building the wall will fulfill a promise to Trump’s base? The promise was to build the wall AND HAVE MEXICO PAY FOR IT. If you fail to answer one out of two questions on a test, you fail!

The base should be reminded every time the wall is mentioned that the money is coming from their collective pockets, not from Mexico’s.

Query: can a President declare a national
emergency every time he doesn’t get the funding he wants? If so, what limits him or her? If Trump wins, can it be said we truly are entering the age of the Imperial Presidency, aka Cheny’s Dream?

“In a surprising development, McConnell said he would support Trump’s emergency declaration, a turnabout for the Kentucky Republican, who like many lawmakers had opposed such action.”

McConnell: “I’m sorry, Mr. President, but I cannot support your emergency declar–”

Trump: “Now you listen to me, Yertle! I’ve got Alfa Bank records on the NRA going back two decades…”

McConnell: “You have my full support for your emergency declaration, SIR!”

Money in the bill for border barriers, about $1.4 billion, is far below the $5.7 billion Trump insisted he needed to build a wall along the Mexican boundary

But Dumpy has stolen the rest of the money from FEMA .

Fat Ass is going golfing after he declares his “emergency”. Can’t wait for “Thor” Pelosi and the Dems to shove the legal challenges up his fat hole-in-one.

And it looks like TPM is letting Ms. Belaquava’s 5th-grade science class run the comments section again.

Today’s stories are glimpses of a Krazy man starting to receive what he deserves. Before @dommyluc’s post, I had thought that the comments section crashed because of a tsunami of well-deserved trash-talkin’

Well, that can happen too. On a busy day with everyone chattering you can see the servers starting to creak and strain under the load. Usually when they get this situation cleared up the comments all come open in a flood so we just have to be patient as usual. Character-building, it is.

NC Senator Burr, who has told the nation that his Committee has "found no collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia, was the recipient of some serious dust from compromised sources…

Can’t seem to post on any of the articles that are up on the page. Same thing happened a few weeks ago and it lasted a good portion of the day.

Burr snorts that dust like Bolivian Rock Flake.

The McCabe action has piqued my attention. I believe that it is one thing to talk about someone being “unhinged”. Hitler was unbalanced.

But McCabe has placed Trump’s sheer incompetence on display in a manner hinted at by the Intel cats weeks ago. This fits in nicely with a new ReThug challenger to Trump for the GOP Primaries…

His message?

Trump is Krazy as Hell.
