    So Trump falsely claims the border is an emergency. So he closed the government. The Department of Homeland Security (which includes Border Patrol) isn’t being paid.

    We’ve read about the issues at airports with TSA employees. I know for a FACT that the level of “fuck it” in DHS is growing daily.

    So Trump’s shutdown is making our borders less safe with no fucks given (in addition to abusing to Americans).

    I guess what I’m trying to say is PAY US Fuckface.

    How a bill can have enough votes but one person can hold it hostage seems like a severe system flaw.

    the issue is and was that a lot of the "rules" were never really rules but just agreed upon practices that nobody felt would be compromised, until they were

    The funny thing is that's exactly what Nancy wants him to do as it will give him the opportunity to make an ass of himself over a personal spat while tons of people missing paychecks hang in the balance. And contrary to popular belief (and evidenced by his tanking approval ratings - even Harris and Rassmussen are approaching 40% approval levels in recent days), that doesn't play well for him.

    It amazes me that there is not more is made out of the fact that Bill Shine is on his staff and is using Fox News as a State Propaganda resource. I am not 100% sure if he tweets because he sees these things on Fox or if there is a strategy for Fox to build out this info with the help of the White House and then have him tweet. Regardless, it's hard to understand how that is free press.

    free press. Examples Word Origin. noun. a body of book publishers, news media, etc., not controlled or restricted by government censorship in political or ideological matters.

    Been thinking about this a lot lately. That power should be able to be overruled by a certain amount of votes of the Senate. That said, I suspect that if the Senators had to overrule McConnell they would not be as gutsy as how they say they will vote. See what happened in the House before the New Year when they voted to fund the wall and we know they didn't want to supposedly.

    Perhaps the minority party should have the right to force a vote under certain circumstances. It would need to be limited because otherwise they can stall other important votes by filibustering with bullshit votes.

    Last April, telecom giant T-Mobile announced a megadeal: a $26 billion merger with rival Sprint, which would more than double T-Mobile’s value and give it a huge new chunk of the cellphone market.

    But for T-Mobile, one hurdle remained: Its deal needed approval from the Trump administration.

    The next day, in Washington, staffers at the Trump International Hotel were handed a list of incoming “VIP Arrivals.” That day’s list included nine of T-Mobile’s top executives — including its chief operating officer, chief technology officer, chief strategy officer, chief financial officer and its outspoken celebrity chief executive, John Legere.

    They were scheduled to stay between one and three days. But it was not their last visit.

    Instead, T-Mobile executives have returned to President Trump’s hotel repeatedly since then, according to eyewitnesses and hotel documents obtained by The Washington Post.

    By mid-June, seven weeks after the announcement of the merger, hotel records indicated that one T-Mobile executive was making his 10th visit to the hotel. Legere appears to have made at least four visits to the Trump hotel, walking the lobby in his T-Mobile gear.

    These visits highlight a stark reality in Washington, unprecedented in modern American history. Trump the president works at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Trump the businessman owns a hotel at 1100 Pennsylvania. Countries, interest groups and companies like T-Mobile — whose future will be shaped by the administration’s choices — are free to stop at both and pay the president’s company while also meeting with officials in his government. Such visits raise questions about whether patronizing Trump’s private business is viewed as a way to influence public policy, critics said.

    Last week, a Post reporter spotted Legere in the Trump hotel’s lobby. In an impromptu interview, the T-Mobile chief executive said he was not seeking special treatment. He chose the Trump hotel, he said, for its fine service and good security.

    :roll: sure bud

    what a chode
    __________________

    Legere, the T-Mobile chief executive, also had a history with the president.

    But it wasn’t a good one.

    “I will obviously leave your hotel right away,” Legere wrote on Twitter in April 2015, during a public spat that began with complaints about Legere’s stay at a Trump hotel in New York, and escalated when Trump called T-Mobile’s service “terrible.”

    Later, Legere mocked Trump’s hotels after checking out. “I am so happy to wake up in a hotel where every single item isn’t labeled ‘Trump,’ ” he wrote, according to news coverage. Those tweets appear to have been deleted.
