Now all Trump has to do is keep it from being heard before a Mexican judge.

We need to get whatsisface, the super-rich guy who’s not running in 2020, to pay for blanket billboard coverage with “Where are the pesos?” and photos of the holes cut in the wall and so on, so that even the Faux Noise Bubblepeople will be constantly deluged with images.

The humanitarian crises are in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. It seems to me that supporting democratic reforms and providing assistance to those countries would do more to stem the migration than a wall. So a wall simply moves the humanitarian crisis to Mexico -the other side of the wall. What a ridiculous made for TV administration.

If y’all have already read a comment where I told this story - sorry. But it fits here. Last night after reporting on the shutdown and Trump’s tantrum in the meeting and his claims of crisis and emergency, the 10:00 news on channel 8 cut to a reporter they had sent down to McAllen. She was standing at the crossing. It was dead. They asked: How are things down there at the border? She gestured to the crossing and said: Quiet. As usual.

Amichi, it was fucking hilarious.

It’s going to be a bitch when the ACLU subpoenas the governors of Texas, Arizona and California to testify about the “crisis.”

Yeah it is. Even Greg Abbott is going to have a damn hard time trying to please his GOP master and tell the truth at the same time.

Jim Acosta just posted an interview with a McAllen resident and guess what she doesn’t see the crime, drugs, murders or people streaming across the border. In fact she indicated that McAllen is a very safe place to live and the crime is committed by locals.

You haven’t got a link to that by any chance, do you? It would be great…

Well it was the newscast. I could see if they have newscast video in archives.

Sure, but it’s still an emergency, albeit a safe one.

Down the Rabbit Hole we go.

But it’s McConnell’s Rabbit Hole. Drumpf is just the baby making noise.
It’s McConnell who directly controls what GOP Senators do
