      Hey, guess who brought up the topic once again this morning of those stupid hurricane maps, and it wasn't the media.

        Yeah he’s the one taking this farther again and again. I don’t care if it’s not terrible compared to other things he does- you can’t pretend this is ok or normal

              "Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper agreed Tuesday to free up $3.6 billion from the Pentagon budget for President Trump’s border wall by effectively defunding 127 military construction projects using emergency authorities.

              Esper determined that the use of the military construction funds was necessary to support American forces deployed to the southern border with Mexico under the national emergency that Trump declared in mid-February. The formal determination allows Trump, under an obscure statute in the federal code overseeing the military, to tap the funds appropriated for other purposes without sign-off from Congress"

                Perhaps, and sadly so, the most politically convenient economic event that could happen for the Democrats is a no-deal Brexit. The economic shock to a G7 economy, the entirety of the EU, and all of the UK's trading partners, will make things bad for everybody for a while. And Trump championed it whenever asked.

                  But yes, they'd be crying and throwing a fit if a Dem President was doing this.
                  I'm not saying it should be done because Repubs would do it in a heartbeat if positions were reversed. I'm saying it should be done because its the right thing to do. What check do we have on a lawless president if we refuse to use the one the Constitution provides?

                  Its the right thing to do. But further, its the necessary thing to do.

                    I'm sure all those bankers sitting in prison for manipulating the markets and almost destroying the global economy sure regret their actions now.

                      People, the Dems in the House are digging into this as best they can. However, they don't have the benefit (such as it is) of an independent council to do the work for them. That's going to mean slogging through multiple court cases to unearth evidence which they're doing now despite a corrupt Justice Dept obstructing them. Too many people want instant gratification. You need your ducks all in a row on this. If that takes time so be it.

                          That's the whole point. The original mistake was just Dump talking out of his as-s as usual -- a mistake, no big deal.

                          The serious problem is his inability to let it go, his tripling down, his desperately lying about it. That is the insight into the man's mind. Not that we needed it -- Dump has shown literally hundreds of times while in office that he is a classic NPD with thin skin. But it's a very dramatic example because while not many people can imagine lying about a call girl, or receiving hundreds of millions from their daddy, or actively stealing an election, we can all put ourselves in the position of the guy who makes a mistake and then triples down so not to be shown up because we have all been 11 years old, and the very thought that a 70-year old is still doing it is deeply shocking.

                          Dump has no emotional maturity. He is not a fully developed adult. That is appalling.

                            The only way the House flips back is widespread and significant electoral fraud. The problem is we cannot put that beyond this Republican party. They have no honor. These guys are in it so deep destroying democracy may be the only way for them to avoid jail time, and we all know based on their behavior of the last 25 years they are up for it.

                            Democracies have failed. We're in the fight of our lives. This is what the last 60 years have all been leading up to: this has been the central political reality of two generations.

                              And its not just a weather forecast. Its every single one of his policies. They don't work, they're bad, they make things worse, even the industries he's gutting regulations on don't want them gutted, he just doubles down and keeps claiming things are just fine. Because he can't be wrong, he knows more about everything than anyone.

                              His tariffs being the most obvious and easily seen example.

                                Yes, it's everything. The worst thing about Dump isn't the stupidity or the ignorance, as bad as those are. It isn't even the craven lack of character. It's that he has no adult understanding of human relations. He's is an actual perpetual toddler.
