The Supreme Court Rules in favor of Mueller. The Supreme Court Monday turned away an effort by an unnamed foreign government-owned corporation to resist a subpoena related to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. There were no noted dissents in the two sentence order.

You're just a dumbass who was convinced by a reality show that a lying traitorous serial bankrupt and conman was a brilliant genius. That makes you a SUCKER.

Look at the present situation: W got Congress to pass the Secure Fence Act of 2006. He got Democrats like Hillary (who Trump supported at the time and voted for as Senator from NY) to vote for the fence. Ultimately, 700 miles of fence was built before Obama stopped building it. Now Trump is feverishly offering to Dems that he'll be satisfied with a fence or any kind of barrier at all Trump makes W look like a big winner. BTW every Republican presidential candidate in this century got a larger percentage of the vote than Donnie, the Loser.

Ultimately, Trumphumpers don't care if everything people say about Trump is true. They'll accept a traitor, a liar, and a coward.

Kellyanne Conway On Sarah Sanders' False Border Claim: 'Everyone Makes Mistakes' Hayley Miller HuffPostJanuary 8, 2019 Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday shrugged off White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ false claim that thousands of terrorists are crossing into the U.S. from Mexico as merely “an unfortunate misstatement.” The top White House adviser, during an interview with Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” downplayed the controversy surrounding Sanders’ repeated ? and incorrect ? assertions that terrorists are flooding the southern border. Sanders on Friday told “Fox & Friends” that “nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists” had crossed into the U.S. from Mexico last year. She cited the statistic again two days later on “Fox News Sunday,” but host Chris Wallace pushed back on her claim, noting that most of the people she referenced had been apprehended at airports ? not the southern border. In reality, border officials caught a total of six people on a security watchlist at the Mexico border over a six-month period last year, NBC reported Monday. “It’s a much smaller threat than you describe,” host Laura Ingraham told Conway. “Doesn’t that hurt the credibility of the White House when we don’t get these basic facts right and someone’s not doing their homework?” Conway responded that Sanders had accidentally “conflated” numbers from several different border security reports. The explanation seemed to pass the smell test for Ingraham, who then suggested Sanders was being treated unfairly by the press. “They’re cherry-picking. This is what they do,” Ingraham said of media outlets calling out Sanders’ falsehoods. “We all kind of make mistakes. We’re talking, you know, all day long.” Conway agreed, “Yeah, that was an unfortunate misstatement. And everybody makes mistakes ? all of us. The fact is it’s corrected here.” But Sanders isn’t the only Trump administration official to make misleading statements about border security while defending President Donald Trump’s demand for $5 billion to build his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen last week said U.S. Customs and Border Protection had “stopped over 3,000 what we call ‘special-interest aliens’ trying to come into the country on the southern border. Those are aliens who the intel community has identified are of concern.” Wallace on Sunday pointed out that “special-interest aliens” are simply people who come from a country that has ever produced a terrorist. And Vice President Mike Pence made an outrageous claim to The Washington Post in October that 10 terrorists or suspected terrorists had been captured at the southern border every day in the last fiscal year.

There is no border emergency. We have an illegal immigration problem because employers like the Trump Organization hire undocumented workers to avoid paying Americans a living wage. Enforce our laws; impose heavy fines on employers. Problem solved. @RWPUSA

Why couldn't a Democratic President declare a national health care emergency and enforce Medicare for All on the country? --------------------------------- 6/ It's January 2021. Donald Trump choked on a KFC chicken bone or died in an autoerotic asphyxiation game gone wrong. Doesn't matter how. For this scenario, we have a shiny new Democratic President. Call her, just for the sake of argument, Kamala Warren. 7/ She sweeps into the Oval Office and asks for a national TV address to declare a state of emergency. "My fellow Americans: the crisis of climate change can no longer be ignored, and Congress will not act fast enough." 8/ "Powerful forces are at work, and by any standard this crisis is an emergency, so following the precedent set by President Trump, I am today declaring the following actions. First, the Federal government will immediately seize certain oil and natural gas facilities and lands. 9/ "All refining facilities will be closed. Oil and natural gas lands will be repurposed for solar and wind power only, and we will offer job retraining for their owners. The Federal government will control these lands in perpetuity to prevent additional damage to the climate. " 10/ "This is a hard step, and we do not take it lightly, by as President Trump seized hundreds of thousands of acres of land under eminent domain, we have followed his precedent to the letter, because the climate emergency demands it." 11/ "To prevent any illegal drilling, I am ordering the U.S. military to build appropriate walls, fences, minefields, and other security structures around these lands and facilities. Walls work, in the words of President Trump, and this emergency demands them." 12/ "We will also take Federal action to end the lawless behavior of Carbon Sanctuary States. Because of this emergency, Federal power must Trump (hehe) the rights of the states. It's an emergency. Carbon Sanctuary States endanger us all, and they must be brought to heel." 13/ See how this goes? I could go on, and on, and on, but once you open these doors, other people will walk through them. Other people will use powers of the executive in ways you really won't like. But it's ok. There will never be a Dem President again, right? threadreaderapp.com
