"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.

Marco Rubio understands... that he is a partisan cocksucker and always has been.

Just another sterling chapter in the record being assembled by the Limp  Noodle of the Senate. How useless is this guy? Why do they keep electing him? Oh, all right….so maybe he beats out Rand Paul. But Rand has an excuse…..he fancies himself to be a Libertarian—always a good starting point for incomprehensibility (or maybe that wig glue of his is starting to seep into his brain).

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.

Helicopter in Kobe Bryant Crash Wasn’t Legal to Fly in Poor Visibility

When the helicopter carrying the basketball legend Kobe Bryant crashed into a fogbound mountainside on Sunday, killing all nine people onboard, the pilot who was struggling to avoid the clouds did not have the legal authority to navigate with his instruments because the aircraft owner did not have the necessary federal certification, according to three sources familiar with the charter helicopter company’s operations.

Island Express Helicopters, which owned the Sikorsky S-76B, had a Federal Aviation Administration operating certification that limited its pilots to flying under what are known as visual flight rules, or V.F.R., with at least three miles of visibility and a cloud ceiling no lower than 1,000 feet above the ground.
The company did not have certification for its pilots to fly with instruments, said Kurt Deetz, a pilot and former safety manager at the company.

Rules get broken, people die.
No "terrain, pull up" warnings [as in Capt Sully's jet], how is a pilot going to avoid crashing?

Supporting the true and free American campaign to rid the country of trumpist violent thugs/rapists/killers.

Nice attempt at a distraction from a pasty white supremacist cup bearer. Rupert is getting good ROI from you.

Not a big surprise if things weren't done by the book all the time or some regulations not followed.  Goes on all the time.  Exposed when something goes wrong.  But that's of course why the rules are there.  Best practices, etc.

Maybe the regulation breakers should be prosecuted when things go wrong.
Then things might change.

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.

Great argument to remove and execute trump. I will forward it to some Senators

[LarryBnDC]

Also puzzling that Alexander says Trump did something inappropriate and wrong, yet isn't willing to call for a vote to censure.  Y'know, sometimes guys who are retiriing will try to chime a note of moral leadership on the way out.  But, no.

Man still has to eat and not have to hire security...
