    The Dems have 4 choices in addressing the gun problem.  

    If this isn't a helluva a sentence and a perfect example of where we are as a country.

    There is no sitting down in a room and hammering out a compromise. Our govt. is paralyzed by Turtle, Cheeto, and their lackeys.

    Amazon deforestation rates had been tumbling for years, largely thanks to the “Save the Rain Forest” movement and stronger land-use regulations. But they’ve risen significantly in Brazil this year: an area rain forest “roughly the size of a football pitch”disappears every minute.

    It's funny how all of the GOP voters who claim they're forced to the right to vote GOP because Dems are rude never find themselves being forced back towards the left by all of the conservative arsonists, murderers, and mass shooters who are literally quoting Trump.

    Had a friend the other day say he had to vote for trump over hilary. Then said he doesnt like trump but he will hold his nose to avoid the stink and vote for him again over any democrat.....conversation was over after that

    I'm sure RushFoxHannity are telling the R voters that Trump is winning in ways no other R president ever has. Don't give up now. The best is yet to come. You don't want to give up the ground we've gained, do you?

    There will be a lot of people who will vote Trump for your friend's reasons in '20 too. Hopefully, the D voters turn out in force.

    This.  I have a hard time believing that when the Founders included impeachment in the constitution they intended it to have a higher threshold than Trump.

    Yep. Any president before him would have been gone long ago. Just b/c the other half of Congress and the Executive are beyond redemption doesn't mean she shouldn't act.

    And yet Trump says that American Jews shouldn't vote for Democrats because it would be disloyal to...wait for it...Israel.

    I'm sure Hannity or Tucker will explain how that's not really what Trump meant.

    They have more than enough to impeach him many times over with the evidence in the Mueller Report.  They are CHOOSING to wait on the courts.  The is a joke.

    Like lurch said, everyday counts.  People are getting killed, losing their rights by the day, and there is ZERO sense of urgency or conviction from the people elected to actually do shit. 

    These are big items that are being normalized, meaning not punished. Taking foreign help in election, emoluments, lying before Congress, obstruction (Trump and Barr), Helsinki commnets, not addressing Russian meddling in '16, etc.

    I've studied ___ for a very long time and we're taking a good look at it. Many people think ___ is a very good way to go, but we'll see what happens. The Ds and the Fake News smear ___  every day in the press and it a very bad thing. It's just horrible how something as American as ___ could be undermined by CNN and MSNBC.

    He would utterly betray our country without a second thought.

    Numerous lawmakers, including several Republicans, quickly pushed back on the idea and argued Trump lacked the authority to make such a change using an executive order. They cited that birthright citizenship is a right enshrined under the 14th Amendment.

    WASHINGTON — The Trump administration unveiled a regulation on Wednesday that would allow it to detain indefinitely migrant families who cross the border illegally, replacing a decades-old court agreement that imposed a limit on how long the government could hold migrant children in custody and specified the level of care they must receive.

    Quote

    Under the new rule, the administration would be free to send families who are caught crossing the border illegally to a family residential center to be held for as long as it takes for their immigration cases to be decided. Officials said families cases could be resolved within three months, though many could drag on much longer.

    Trump administration officials — who briefed reporters on Tuesday night on the condition of anonymity to discuss the plans — said that many of the families would be detained until they were either released after being awarded asylum or they were deported to their home countries. Some families might be awarded parole to leave the facilities while the courts decide their fate.

    The 20-day limit has been in place since 2015, a legal outgrowth of a 1997 court-ordered consent decree after a federal class-action lawsuit alleged physical and emotional harm done to immigrant children held for extended periods of time in the detention facilities.

    Quote

    The Trump administration’s regulation, which is several hundred pages long, eliminates a requirement that federal detention centers for immigrant families be licensed by states, most of which had no such licenses.

    Instead, under the regulation, the three centers built to house hundreds of immigrant families — in Dilley and Karnes City, Tex., and Leesport, Pa. — would have to meet standards set only by ICE, which runs them.

    So the tweet about not putting a Trump hotel in Greenland wasn't a joke after all. I mean if you cancel a meeting with the PM because they won't consider selling it makes all the "it's a joke" comments look pretty stupid. 

    And that's just a fantasy-world transaction that exists only in his mind. Imagine how insane he'll get at the real world prospect of SDNY indicting him.
