We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges...

Back when Roberts excoriated tRump for calling a judge an "Obama judge" and told him: "We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges." we all cheered. However, now I'm here the same line tRump used: "Ellis is a Reagan judge". Ok... Are we sure we want to join tRump in this argument?

Obviously we are disappointed in the months given Manafort, but is it really because he is a "Reagan Judge"? I will reluctantly accept the Manafort sentencing... I'm concerned about the court impartiality... I don't want the courts to be just another political institution. Maybe I'm alone on that.

Can we still say the wall is immoral?

After agreeing to provide 1.4 billion for the wall can we still say the wall is immoral? I do believe it was a mistake to give this money to the wall. It has shifted the debate. Now that we have agreed a little bit of wall is ok it has opened the door to more funding to complete the wall with each new budget Congress approved. The argument now will be if some wall is ok then why not finish it? I really don't know what compelled dems to change the position of not 1 dollar! Can some explain this to me because it seems like we had all the cards and folded anyway. Just feeling a bit depressed about it....

That is all.

This is beginning of the end of the tRump presidency...

No, not because of Mueller. He has now been defeated by a women. His base will turn on him for his loss - they just won't accept it. tRump will now be a lame duck and have little to no power with his base.

Was 'covfefe' a code word to the Ruskies?

In light of result bombshell revelations I think there needs to be an investigation if tRump is actively communicating with Russia. If he is he could almost certainly use code words within his Twitter feed. We need to scour his Twitter and look for the finger prints

Does the constitution still work?

Making the right wring media hit pieces on Beto O'Rourke is him questioning if the constitution still works today. The quote from him:

“I’m hesitant to answer it because I really feel like it deserves its due, and I don’t want to give you a — actually, just selfishly, I don’t want a sound bite of it reported, but, yeah, I think that’s the question of the moment: Does this still work? Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships…and security arrangements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?”


I for one am very happy that someone is bringing up this issue. I think it is one of the most important issue in our country today. The constitution is over 230 years old. Do the principles layed out then still apply to today's people?

whose constituents are suffering more from the shutdown?

I suspect its tRump supports but don't really know for sure. Does anyone have a link that could answer this? Thanks.
