One of the reasons why the shill media is pulling out all the stops now.

Shit's actually getting done.

Courts, the Ninth Circuit said, should defer “to Congress’s understanding of the public interest as reflected in its repeated denial of more funding for border barrier construction.” But the Supreme Court shrugged and let Trump start building while Trump appeals the Ninth Circuit’s decision.

Supreme Court Justice Breyer—who alone among the dissenters would have allowed the administration to take preliminary steps short of actually beginning physical construction—wrote a brief opinion offering a glimpse into the court’s deliberation. In it, Justice Breyer suggested that a principal question was whether the groups that challenged the administration’s plan to reallocate funds have legal standing to file the lawsuit.

“This case raises novel and important questions about the ability of private parties to enforce Congress’ appropriations power,” he wrote.

The Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition sued to block the reallocation in February, alleging that the wall project would inflict environmental harms and reduce the quality of life along the border.

If private parties lack standing to challenge the president’s action, however, there may be no one who can. The House of Representatives, whose Democratic majority rejected the administration’s border-wall funding request, itself sued to stop the action; in June, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled the House lacked legal standing to file suit. The House said it plans to appeal.

Personally, I think the House should cut funding for Trump's golfing and air-conditioning for the White House. That might bring Trump to heel.

I'm curious what orders Border Patrol has to further Trump's bigotry at the southern border. Did he say - let's let the really dark Africans and Chinese through, but not the brown-skinned types?

I'd genuinely love to see this.

It could be the beginning of a tit-for-tat war that goes on for the next 5 1/2 years, ultimately resulting in zero free cushy health insurance for lawmakers.

Let's see what happens to the healthcare system when they've got to live with their own decisions for the rest of us.

What should happen, and if government was run like any decent corporation in the world, would be that Trump is fired by the Senate after about a week of deliberations, then he is escorted out of the White House by the Secret Service, and V.P. Mike Pence takes charge. Then Congress picks a new Vice President, just in case Pence does not work out. That is how Nelson Rockefeller became V.P.

lol

Why "should" that happen? Because you want it to happen?

I hate to break it to ya, Second, but a lot of people are just fine with the way things are going.

Throwing temper tantrums isn't going to get you what you want. It's unlikely that the House is going to even attempt impeachment, and as you've recognized it would never get past the Senate anyhow.

You're stuck with Trump until 2024. Deal with it.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

As you might be aware, a Congress controlled by Democrats tossed Nixon into the trash can. But before doing that, they tossed out Nixon's Vice President Spiro Agnew. They didn't want stinking Agnew in the White House, smelling up the place. That was back when the economy was booming and Apollo was landing on the Moon twice a year. Once Congress filled up with irresponsible Republicans, the boom ended, and the Space Program shrunk to insignificance. There is a connection between that and the GOP take over of government. I was there. I watched it happen. I saw the GOP claim it wasn't their fault. I knew they were lying.

They can't deal with. They prove that every single day with their pathetic and desperate machinations to try to undo Trump's 2016 victory. I've been following Presidential elections since Kennedy/Nixon, and in the 59 years since then there's never been anything even close to the childish temper-tantrum, hysterical, non-acceptance, and self-torture the losing side is inflicting on themselves 24 hours a day. .... And I absolutely LOVE every second of it!! 5 more years of The Donald in office will certainly render a sizeable portion of the population incoherent, drooling, and insane. My drug company stocks are gonna go through the roof.

SECOND is busy screeching that "walls don't work" but in another hread, he shoots himself in the foot (like he always does) by showing that walls DO work, when they can get built. At least, that's what the illegal migrants believe.

Quote:

I went to Houston construction sites with cans of Dos Equis beer on ice to get the facts about the border. I asked the migrants why are they here? Why now? They said "Trump". The Southern border can't stop migrants because it needs a new wall, according to Trump. The migrants and their families came now, before Trump gets around to building his new wall.
Because, once the wall is built, they won't be able to cross so gorram easily.

Yanno, I suspect that the reason why SECOND has a limp isn't from a helicopter accident, it's from this constant foot-shooting. In fact, I'd be curious to see if he still has a nose, because maybe he cut it off to spite his face.
