biggest fan. He applauds himself constantly. I do not know what he sees when he looks into mirrors, but it certainly is not what the rest of us see when we look at him. He NEVER was qualified for the job Putin set him up for. Putin knew it, the gop knew it and the rest of the thinking public knew it. So, now he is trying very hard to keep the job, since it benefits himself and his family so much. Iwanka gets Chinese patents, Jarod gets loans for his loser family, and Beavis and Butthead get free worldwide trips to shoot innocent animals. Life is good for the tRump crime family. For now, but wait the end is in sight.

Actually, there are a lot of words he doesn't know the meaning of:

honor
truth
commitment
trust
constitution
honesty
curiosity
emoluments
ethics
humility
intelligence
loyalty (except as it pertains to others' loyalty to him)
kindness

of most of the public. Here Schiff, while not real lofty, still uses the term “pursuant to your administraton’s policy”. Dems gotta start talking more like dumb-ass Trump so that the dumb-ass public will understand. Speak plainly with short sentences no more than 5-7 words. Say “Mr. Trump you ordered parents separated from kids”. Most DU members understand but it’s remarkable how unsophisticated and ignorant the general public is. Dummy down the language so that that dotards on the right might understand.

Since Ronald Reagan, and Proposition 13, started hacking the content out of our public schools, voters have been harder, and harder to reach, because they can't even start to understand the arguments presented to them.

"Horse Sense," stopped working.

The world just got too complicated.

The "Grand Old Party" loves ignorant voters. So, they make as many as they can. But, the chickens have come home to roost.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are presently the GOP's most "astute" statesmen. Silly men, with silly ideals.

One is leaving. The other is trying to hold on to to everything "South of Logic."

Please, let that sink in.

I learned the meaning of the word "astute" in Mrs. Raver's class a really, really, long time ago.

Well, one of the reasons, but a significant one. Stevenson came across as an intellectual which, in this Country, is considered a political handicap. He was lampooned as an "Egghead."

1) Democrats do not control Congress. GOP could pass whatever it is Trump thinks he is asking for without Dems.

2) Trump needs to keep his promise to the American voters to finance his wall through Mexico if it so important.

3) Neither of these measures will solve the MS-13 problem.

This whole thing sounds like the Art of the Squeal.

I am reminded that children that age may still be nursing mother's milk; they either crawl or are just learning to walk, and are surely not toilet-trained.
Picture in your mind the infant children of Romania and some other Eastern European countries who were without human interaction and nurturing.

I believe I read that refugee children may be cared for on military bases.
How in h--- is that going to work out?

“...do you really think our nation can’t see how you use their suffering as mortar for your wall.”

Unfortunately there are far too many who WON’T see. Don’t want to. Think this now is how things oughta be. They might well be the same folk who declare their ardor for this monster “because he tells it like it is.” That to me is the saddest and most disappointing part of all.

Jim Carrey showed he doesn't know what the hell is going on with Rep Adam Schiff. I don't want to even see any of his other drawings.

Adam Schiff is not in leadership but he's the top Dem on the Intelligence Committee. And, all kinds of trolls can see how strong and brilliant he is. trump absolutely is scared to death of him.. you can tell by the way he degrades him.

Maybe even passive-aggressively. Everyone knows that, if you show up at GOP Bootcamp and have a shred of either decency or shame remaining, it is forcibly removed.

I hope you weren't trying to put something over on us, Adam.

Here is the famous quote from the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings by Joseph Welch defending Fred Fisher, a young lawyer at Welch's law firm Hale-Doerr, from an attack by McCarthy:

You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

So...instead of saying "Have you no shame, no sense of decency?" just say "you have no shame and no sense of decency".

Why ask if he knows the answer?
