I wish I could be wrong, but you have to consider - he just barely beat Clinton, as bad as she was.  He hasn't gotten more popular and he has killed himself with his twitter account.

He has?  Really.  I guess he needs to sit down, shut the fuck up, and comply.

Nancy will ultimately suffer defeat over this. 

The dims are starting to question giving her the Speaker's gavel. 

BTW, notice Chuck is being somewhat quiet today.

Nancy is so frightened of the new Socialist activist members of her party that she’s doing everything in her power to out-Wacko them, which ain’t easy with Ocasio Cortez.

Since you seem to believe that you're an expert Geneticist, I invite you to cite Watson's peer-reviewed findings in this area.  I doubt there are any, since he hasn't done any active bench research in decades.  He was instrumental in moving the human genome project forward, and his was the first genome sequenced.

The big difference between you all and me is that unlike you, I've met the man.  I also know a lot of the folks who worked around him at Cold Spring Harbor, they told fun stories.

What none of you grasp is that I have only said he hasn't the data to back up his contentions.  Had he I would object strongly to the Nobel committee taking away his award. Data is neither liberal nor conservative, and it is always, always correct.

Can you share with us the peer review findings of your experiment in your classroom that confirmed your findings about first born children?  I’d love to read that.

I would think it would shape the policies we put into place. Of course we should still deny them entry unless they do it the correct way. Once again, please quote my post where I've said otherwise.

If it were proven that 100% of the people were just trying to find work (and we all know that's not true, it's just your example), then that would, I think, lead us to want to implement a better system for obtaining work visas. Make it easier for them to enter for work and return at the end of whatever their work visa period is. It's not that simple, though. Mexico has to play a role in this. We also need to enforce the laws on the books, or change them appropriately, to make it painful if you overstay your visa. It should be clear that we welcome those who want to work and contribute to our society, but taxes will be paid, and if you take advantage of our hospitality and generosity, you aren't welcome back. Throw in some sort of work credit system that earns them points towards getting a green card or citizenship to sweeten the deal once they demonstrate they can follow the rules and have done so for a certain time period.

In post #213, you chided Anthony for indicting a whole group of people, and questioned what percentage of them are criminals or just want to get benefits. So clearly it seems to me that the intention of the invaders matters to you.

I’m saying it should NOT matter, when the question of the day is the wall.

All of the things you mentioned have been available to Congress for decades, and Congress R+D has completely and utterly failed the American people to fix this mess.

So Donald Trump comes into town, sees the dysfunction, and decides to follow the will of the people to build a wall (or fence or whatever.)  it is completely and utterly irrelevant what semantics Trump uses to describe it. An invasion is not false. A crisis is not false. An emergency is not false.

In another post you asked what changed to make this become a crisis. The difference is instead of small groups of people being led by coyotes, bands of 15,000 or more (think capacity of Madison Square Garden for a Rangers game) at a crack have been traversing Central America with the express and blatant intention of bypassing our laws in order to force their way into this country.

That is unprecedented, and that must stop.

Since when does the opposition party get to demand equal time for an address to the nation?  My God, the egos of these people. 

The president asked for 8 minutes. They literally own the remaining 1,432 minutes of the day.  Sit down, shut the fuck up and listen for a change. 

Well, at least he got the civics aspect correct.  Right now millions of Democrats are asking "Whats an Amendment?"

Cortez thinks she’ll be signing bills. The delusion and stupidity is astounding.

It is poor form to proverbially place words in a person's mouth and then attack them for those words.

So how about letting him post first if he has anything to say on this thread, OK? Otherwise if you think that is a valid way to attack someone and keep doing it, you may become the unhappy recipient of the same kind of attack.

Lighten up, Francis. You may have missed the performances of the professor when it comes to anthropomorphic climate change, but he’s quite capable of derision and ridicule of anyone, including most people on this site, who don’t toe the party line when it comes to the profitable business combination of scientists and politicians.

There is no floor for the disgust I have for the MSM but especially CNN and their talking parrots.

They actually fucking ridiculed Melania’s boots that she wore when visiting the troops with her husband.

I’m now convinced that there are no actual “men” in the MSM. None. Not a single testicle among them. All skinny jeans wearing, effeminate little twerps. No real man would criticize Melania like she has been ridiculed, and no real man would create controversy and breathlessness when they could take every opportunity to celebrate what Trump did by visiting our men and women in a war zone.
