Zero. Those tactics don't work in this situation and my reps are already solidly against anything Trump would attempt.

Why is Jim Bob Redneck from rural Kentucky so passionate about Jose Suarez doing off-the-books landscaping in Brooklyn?

EDIT: Just saw AllTheCheese's link showing 79% of Trump supporters interested in immigration as a top-3 issue. Surprised it's that high.

Last summer I traveled out west. I left Denver towards the end of June. I traveled through CO, UT, NV, ID, MT, OR and WA before getting to Seattle during the first week of August. Was about 6 weeks.

Other than a truck driver here or there at a gas station, I did not see a single minority.

I did however meet tons of people worried about immigration.

He's still a dog to get impeached imo. House is a political **** show but at least hearings are happening, senate is doing jack **** mostly. Guess to be fair to senate, they're oversight not investigation, so they have no investigators, they're basically gonna twiddle thumbs and hope it goes away.

Might be up to yates testimony to actually start moving this thing somewhere.

Looks like Spicey gets to keep his job.

Quote:

President Trump has no plans to fire press secretary Sean Spicer, comparing Spicer's daily press briefings to a daytime soap opera.

"I'm not firing Sean Spicer," Trump said, according to the Washington Post. "That guy gets great ratings. Everyone tunes in."

Trump is literally too stupid to understand Spicer is bad at his job.

What is the benefit of Trump calling his shot on the border wall funding? Just so he can appear to be actively working on it? Or does he actually think this tactic has a chance of working? He is like an 8 year old who makes everyone watch as he whiffs at hitting the ball off the tee.

Does that make me culpable for everything that happens under Trump's presidency? I would say that claim is dubious.

And to Clovis: what I'm sick of is internet clowns throwing around the term "Nazi" without any regard for what that word means. Sickening.

Hey, I appreciate that you think there should be a way for DREAMers to stay in the country. I hope you consider voting for candidates who agree on that point in the future.

Lol. So the presidents criteria for his press department is solely if they get good ratings?

That's what happens when the president is a former reality TV star.

I think most of you are annoying, wrong and rude. You, Markksman, are not the final arbiter of good and evil or right and wrong. I disagree with you on many, many fundamental things. I'm ok with that.

You can vote for whomever you want but you are absolutely responsible for who you voted for and whom you didn't vote for. Sorry but this nonsense that my vote doesn't count or I was protesting of anything else is just mental masturbation and denying responsibility.

It was pretty obvious only one of two people could win the election. One of those people were hands down one of the worst final candidates in American history. This was painfully obvious before the election. So yeah regardless of if you liked Hillary or not if you Fidel not vote for her then you are absolutely responsible for Trump.

You seem to be quite smitten with trump and most of his policies. You claim your representatives somehow magically align with you on every issue to block trump. Which even if you might think would still be insane to accept as what would actually happen.

So please list out a couple / few substantial issues trump might do / try to do that you and your representatives are armed to shoot down. Of course your allergy to personal responsibility probably prohibits you.
