    Well, sure.  But you and I don't think like AD.  He was persuaded by Rich Paul and the Lakers to give up this money to get Kawhi, Walker, Irving, someone worthy of coughing up the cash.  Instead, he gave it up for them to spend on Quinn Cook, KCP, McGee and two years of the Danny Green Experience.  I wouldn't call that a fair swap, if I'm AD.

    Spurred on by President Trump, government lawyers scrambled Thursday to find a legal path to add a controversial citizenship question to the 2020 Census, despite their conclusions in recent days that no such avenue exists.

    Census officials and lawyers at the Justice and Commerce departments scrapped holiday plans and spent their Independence Day seeking new legal rationales for a citizenship question that critics say could lead to a steep undercount of immigrants, which could limit federal funding to some communities and skew congressional redistricting to favor Republicans.

    The reversal came after Trump talked by phone with conservative allies who urged him not to give up the fight, according to a senior White House official and a Trump adviser, who both spoke on the condition of anonymity.

    Trump was furious and thought the Commerce Department and the Justice Department — which has been arguing the case — had given up the fight too easily. He complained about Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.,who he said he thinks is lined up against him, the adviser and senior officials said. Trump also complained about Ross.

    Before Trump’s tweets plunged their week into chaos, Justice officials thought the president understood how few legal options remained, according to people familiar with the matter. They had earlier told the White House that the case was a dead-end and that pursuing it would be a waste of time.

    Trump made it clear to several advisers Thursday that addressing the matter should be the administration’s priority in the coming days, saying he does not like the confusion that has gripped the administration. According to the two Republicans, the president has told aides repeatedly, “Fix this.”

    Trump has talked of issuing an executive order to the Commerce Department to try to forge a new legal avenue for the citizenship question, having picked up that idea from conservative allies, according to a senior administration official.

    Jesus, what a hateful, bitter group of losers here.  Even have people wanting the President of the United States killed by lightning.   May I mention that Trump did not make one single reference to himself in that entire speech.  That entire speech was about America and all you can do is piss and moan about every bit of it.  You all are a piss poor excuse for Americans, never mind Texans.
