Republicans Reconsidering (and Calling out the Very Stable Genius) In a fairly pointed rebuke of Don John, former president George W. Bush said at a naturalization ceremony in Dallas, “May we never forget that immigration is a blessing and a strength.” In the wake of Don John’s escalating, unbelievable ongoing attacks on a dead war …

In a striking—but ultimately symbolic—rebuke of Donald’s circumventing of Congress to appropriate funds for his compensatory border wall, the Senate voted 59-41 to reject the “national emergency” Don John trumped up, with 12 Republicans joining Dems in voting against the executive order (here’s how every senator voted—and please note Cornyn and Cruz continued their enabling of this corrupt …

The Walls Closing In House Dems sent more than 80 letters last Monday to Donald Jr and Eric Trump, as well as the CFO of the Trump Organization (specifically cited by Michael Cohen under excellent questioning by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez as the person who would have info on Donald’s tax returns and other financial interests) seeking documents and …
Democrats Getting It Done The House passed a resolution to nullify Donald’s declaration of a phony national emergency, with the support of 13 Republicans. The motion will be forced to the Senate floor for a vote now; it needs only 4 Republican Senators to vote for it in order to pass, and three GOP senators have already …

Fifty-eight former national security officials—including Madeleine Albright, Susan Rice, and officials from the administrations of Clinton, Obama, and both Bushes—signed a declaration against Donald’s fanned-up national emergency stating that there is “no factual basis” on which to declare a state of emergency. In the first actual instance of widespread voter fraud, North Carolina election officials unearthed evidence of …
In a press conference notable for being even more than usually incoherent (and also making the announcement using the iPhone Notes app), Donald fundamentally (and no doubt legally) undermined his own case for a national emergency by stating, “I didn’t need to do this…I just wanted to get it done faster.” Perhaps Webster’s, long known for hilariously trolling Donald’s misuses …

NM governor Michelle Lujan Grisham pulled the majority of National Guard forces Donald sent to the U.S.-Mexico border in that state, stating, “New Mexico will not take part in the president’s charade of border fear-mongering by misusing our diligent National Guard troops.” Republicans Against the Law The Supreme Court blocked (5-4 along ideological lines, except for Justice …

After the speaker of the House engineered the reopening of the government shutdown by Donald’s tantrum over his compensatory wall, Nancy Pelosi’s opening bid in the renewed wall negotiations is…zero. 😀 Meanwhile, perhaps anticipating another tantrum by the toddler-in-chief, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced legislation that would withhold salary from the president, vice president, and …
Who run the world? Nancy Pelosi taught Donald what it’s like to face off with a grown-ass adult by refusing to negotiate funding for his border wall until Donald reopened the government—to which demand he caved after costing the American economy more than $6 billion during his tantrum—more than the $5.7 billion he was pouting over not …
Rudy Giuliani is just melting right on down, stating that he “never said there was no collusion” (after bleating for months that there was no collusion, a lot of times, on the record), desperately backpedaling as Mueller’s noose draws a bit tighter. Expect to see the jackals turn on each other more and more as …
