Maybe in the long run the trump regime will have been a good thing.

Like an innoculation of a dead virus that will protect us from even worse infections in the future.

What could be worse, you ask? How about a wannabe dictator but with actual smarts next time? Like a Stalin or a Hitler?

This current gang is evil, but let's face it... this gang can't shoot straight, and they won't be lasting much longer.

I sincerely hope that come 2020 our Democratic majority in both Houses and our Democratic President will take legislative measures that prevent the type of shit trump tried to pull and that bring to the light of public scrutiny all the shit he has tried to hide.

I haven't felt this good since the presidential election.

Defeating the stupid "Pelosi is a hypocrite who has a wall around her own house" - type argument

Here's a facebook exchange between myself and a trumpian sister (who has a small farm in the Orlando area).

sis: I say BUILD THE WALL.

me: I've got a question for you: why don't you build a wall around your own place so nobody can get in? Too expensive? The investment is too high compared to the risk of terrorism and invasion? It wouldn't work, anyway? It wouldn't look so good?

sis: I have a fence around my yard and also have 3 large dogs. I do my best to protect what I have. We have enough criminals living here without getting more.

me: a STUPID expensive wall won't keep out criminals, that's why you won't build it. You say you do your best to protect what you have? Well, if that doesn't include a wall that's NOT doing your best, is it? Isn't that the stupid Republican argument?

(And, by the way, her 3 large dogs are pussycats who welcome strangers, not frighten them. LOL)

Trump to propose DACA protections in exchange for wall funding

Dear Ms. Pelosi,

DACA people are not pawns, and we will get them protection at the next election, anyway. I urge you to REJECT this deal.

Sincerely,
Goodheart

John Kasich... new CNN regular commentator... coming across as reasonable

which means he's about to be labeled a traitor.

LOL

The price of staying in the Republican Party is getting steep.

Is there a SLOWER series on TV than "The Man in the High Castle"?

I'm on episode 3.4 and I don't think I'll be going any further.

CNN just showed two hour lines at the Atlanta airport....

people waiting to clear security due to lack of TSA agents.

In the meantime, air traffic controllers are handing out flyers to people entering the terminals that this shutdown must end immediately.

He's at 37% approval? Unless he admits defeat that's only going to get a lot worse.
