The US Department of Justice waited until after new evidence was excluded to release 20 emails that illustrate (read: prove) Trump's role in the frozen funds for Ukraine.

“I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything,” Murkowski said. “It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.”

And why risk that the continuation of the process might change things?!

Sure. But the Wall won't help - that is not how they are getting in, just as it has a minimal impact on the drug flow or the human trafficking.


You think NONE of it has been prevented - or just not enough to justify the cost and the appearance of US as unwelcoming?  I think it needs further study by you.

The wall has little to do with separating immigrant families so what is it about the wall that pisses you off so much?  Would you be less pissed under a different president?

Any president that tried to put the wall up across the entire border would piss me off, but this president lied about it from the start.

Reasons that it pisses me off, in no particular order other than thought:

1) Mexico was never going to pay for it.
2) The thoughtless trampling of the lives and properties of the people along the border.
3) The destruction of the environment.
4) That includes some areas that are (were) home to endangered species.
5) The destruction of private property before permissions were obtained (or even begun to be obtained in some cases).
6) The failure to understand what was being done well enough such that some areas of the wall are going to have to be open for months at a time or the destruction will be that much greater.
7) Not an initial thing that pisses me off, but which pisses me off now, as it has become clear that the work is being done in a shoddy fashion.
8) The lies told about both illegal immigration and drugs that were used to fire up the masses, even though the Wall was never going to seriously impact either problem.
9) With (8), therefore, the failure of the administration (and the GOP) to do serious work on immigration reform,
10) Or drug policy reform, with the ongoing conflicts between federal and state policies, among other things.

Other than that, nothing in particular.

Another GOP senator confirms what we already knew: they were only going through the motions, paying lip service to their oaths.

Roberts opens his mouth when he finally should have said nothing, for all that it is good to know if you are a Democratic Senator.

A section of the wall blew over, for whatever reason. They'll fix it, and continue with construction.
The wall must be built.
The borders must be sealed.
The deportation bus fleet must be rolled out of the sheds.
Time to banish from the landscape some people already in America, and only let in nice people who pass strict identification, health, and background checks.
Time to take back the country from violent animals, criminals etc, and thereby MakeAmericaGreatAgain.

Anyone who is against the building of Trump's wall and the sealing of the Mexican border should sit on a chair in a dark room and have a serious rethink of their position.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/need-know-violent-animals-ms-13/

MS-13 is a transnational gang that has brought violence, fear, and suffering to American communities. MS-13, short for Mara Salvatrucha, commits shocking acts of violence to instill fear, including machete attacks, executions, gang rape, human trafficking, and more. In their motto, the animals of MS-13 make clear their goal is to “kill, rape, control.” The gang has more than 10,000 members in the United States spreading violence and suffering.

Recent investigations have revealed MS-13 gang leaders based in El Salvador have been sending representatives into the United States illegally to connect the leaders with local gang members. These foreign-based gang leaders direct local members to become even more violent in an effort to control more territory.

President Trump’s entire Administration is working tirelessly to bring these violent animals to justice.


Bitch please.

Just pull the covers over your head and suck your thumb.

One man reportedly had his heart hacked out of his body.
You should be supporting the Trump Admin's campaign to rid the country of MS-13 violent thugs/rapists/killers.

Sure. But the Wall won't help - that is not how they are getting in, just as it has a minimal impact on the drug flow or the human trafficking.

"Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office. ...

"... I will not vote to remove the President because doing so would inflict extraordinary and potentially irreparable damage to our already divided nation."
~Senator Marco Rubio, in explaining that he can see that Trump is guilty as charged, even without the witnesses or further evidence, but he still is not going to vote for either nor for removing Trump from office. Not even a censure, from the sounds of it.

Just an amazing example of how far the GOP Senators will go to try to thread the needle of avoiding integrity while pretending they aren't doing just that.

You're the moderator, Josh - not needed to comment on all conversation.

OMG, really?!

Thank you soooooooooo much for the clarification, Kid!

Finally, finally, I can stop responding to every basketball thread and college football thread!

You cannot imagine what a relief that is to me, though I will grant you that it more a reflection on your imagination than on the extent of my relief.
