Your mind works in bizarre ways, to the extent that it works at all.

Border Patrol agent detained US citizens for speaking Spanish in Montana.

Yeah, we need more of them all right.

Or the HUNDREDS of them who were caught breaking drug laws, among other things.

Let them guard that border - at least we will know that many of them won't need food stamps.

Declaring a national emergency on Valentines Day... there isn’t an easier way to get out of dinner with Melania?

Some in Congress, including many Republicans, have suggested a national emergency could be executive overreach. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told CNN earlier in February that whether presidents have the power to call national emergencies on such issues was a "serious constitutional question."
"The whole idea that presidents — whether it's President Trump, President Warren or President Sanders — can declare an emergency and somehow usurp the separation of powers and get into the business of appropriating money for specific projects without Congress being involved, is a serious constitutional question," Cornyn said.   

Ya think?  JFC.

Most of the New Yorkers I know don't agree with you. The other site is currently reconsidering, too.

DoD apparently has an extra $21 billion so Dictator Donnie can build a wall just in case an emergency breaks out on the southern border.

If they got extra dollars just hanging around for a domerstic dictator's temper tantrum, their future budget requests should probably be subject to a little more rigorous needs testing.

On the issue of border security...

I met a scientist on the Metrolink train after Christmas, we both formerly worked at China Lake, and we could not talk much about some things because China Lake is still a top secret base, but he was able to tell me about border security on the issue of detecting nukes at the borders, both the border with Canada and Mexico, and we have some great new technology, and some great new stuff is being invented. We are safer than ever on the issue of nukes. And the new technology also has some medical potential, he said that soon with the new technology that they will be able to cure Cancer in twenty minutes. 

I love talking with scientists, and it was fun to work at China Lake, and also at NASA, I enjoyed those jobs.

So anyhow, we are safer than ever on the really serious stuff at our borders, we have come a long way in being able to detect nukes. We have some really great scientists. 

Salute,

Tony V.

By the way, I told the scientist about Escape From Elba, he said that he does not go on social media, but he said that maybe he will visit Elba. He could bring some cool stuff to the discussions. He is a brilliant guy.

Salute,

It’s beyond laughable that Cuomo asks Trump to cut taxes for Cuomo’s billionaires who are deserting a state of high taxes.

Frack, frack baby!

And a rewrite of an old headline:

Amazon to New York , Drop Dead!

LOL!

As long as he doesn't come from the wrong IP address!
