Were they to execute that plan and use the seized money I wouldn't have any problem with that.

Trump just tweeted tonight that if the Government Shuts down it's the Democrat's fault.

Of course he did.

If only he had both houses of congress, he could try to accomplish something. Oh, wait...

I would since I dont want a wall. In theory I have no issue though...it just wont happen.

Isn't there an issue with a lack of due process as it relates to forfeiture? Not that there isn't a workaround, but there are issues (like with the no-fly list).

Effing gas bag actually said that the dems are threatening to shut down the national parks just as families are preparing to visit.

Also he had a red button on his desk he pushes when he wants coke. No clarification on what kind of coke

Well I should clarify that assuming it's handled properly in all phases.

Handy - I don't think we need a wall either, but if it's inevitable do it without tapping taxpayers.

I love this response:

@MaxineWaters
Newsflash to Trump: Republicans control Washington. Russians control you.

Sick burn

Slap Shot,

I agree.

I hate to put it in vulgar terms, but...

Trump is such a whiny little *****.

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

I just read on twitter that Spicer said the Trump transition team didnt do any of their own vetting of Flynn...that cant be right.

Nope! Totally True!

"Why would you rerun a background check on someone who was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency that had and did maintain a high-level security clearance?" he asked.

He also blamed Obama since Obama gave him his clearance...that isnt how it works Spicey! You vet everyone up for office...and just because they have clearance doesnt mean they havent done anything stupid. Ask General Petraeus...and it isnt like Flynn hadnt already been fired from a high level job or anything.

These guys are morons of the highest order.

Nah no one is buying it. Spicey isnt believable enough to pull it off which is why it went viral the second he said it!

Trump better hope the moderates vote for this ACHA Bill or he will need to send 4 carrier groups to the wrong part of the world to threaten an enemy

I read this on CNN too. It baffles me that people are responding to that fact. Really, having a button to place a repeatable order is a great big nothingburger.

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

Hey What is $5.5 Trillion Anyways Right?

I assume our deficit hating Righties around here are angry about this? Best case is the tax reform only adds $3 trillion but more likely much higher since no amount of growth can offset the lost revenue. This is the GOP wet dream...man whatever happened to the Party of Fiscal Responsibility?

I don't think people "react" like it's outrageous- it's just really stupid and why are we even hearing about it? I just liked making the Coke joke

No one is buying "blame Pres. Obama, blame the left"?

Maybe in our echo chamber, but they're eating it up in the real world. That's the entire right wing strategy and it got them the entire legislative and executive branches.

If the CRFB estimates are correct, the Trump tax plan could push the country's accumulated debt to 111% of gross domestic product by 2027, higher than any time in U.S. history and far above the 89% currently projected by the CBO.

I always figured Trump was into Greek.

Believe me, we were all thinking it; would explain a lot. However, the only thing Trump is getting high on, is more Trump.

You understand that Trump's numbers are horrid right? If people were buying this crap his approval rating wouldnt be at 40%. (and that isnt just people in our echo chamber) If Blaming Obama played in the real world as much as you and Scooby believe it does then his attempts to blame Obama for his crappy Health Care plan would have worked. Guess what, they didnt.

Trump needs to learn you can only use it so much before people tune out of it. When his tax plan craps the bed it will work on that but it wont work when it comes to Flynn or with Russia. There is a reason these stories are sticking and it isnt our echo chamber.

You'd think it would work that way, Handy, but I'm not so sure. The GOP narrative over the past 25 years with the Clintons gained purchase with voters who had to know that it was based almost entirely on exaggeration, misdirection, and outright lies.

Trump's idiocy is different, no doubt, but we have seen too many times how voters can be willing to either accept as true things that clearly aren't or simply look the other way if doing those things will help them confirm their biases. That's the beast Trump is feeding, whether he is doing it intentionally or is just that spineless and immature. We just don't know how large an appetite it has.
