Not that it matters much.

Is he really in charge? Sometimes I have my doubts.

So all this side show/freak show is just for .... show.

To divert our attention away from what is really happening.

If the DACA deal delivers relief for the Dreamers and their families, then that is the most important thing.

I strongly agree with that position.

I know I’m at odds with many here but I could care less if it comes with a fence as long as it’s not tied to a benchmark of percentage complete or other metric.

If it can be gotten I don’t care how offensive Trump is. He is not going to change. That shouldn’t put the good fight on hold.

and hoped that GOPers would put country before party. But what t-rump said coupled with the silence of Republicans in the room and beyond showed they will not. Tax scam, healthcare, DACA, immigration, civil rights, voting rights, Medicare, Medicaid, SS, SNAP, HUD, Meals on Wheels, to name a few, should now convince many that it's time for GOPers, t-rump and his administration to go.

I’d sooner believe that a neon-lit Nevada bordello was a group home for pious young women who wish to be virgins until marriage than believe that Orange Julius bargains in good faith.
