Not a tool handling bunch here, I take it.

PT Barnum could not get a better circus than Cohen testifying before Congress.

He's about #50 on the list of Congresspeople who have already made this commitment. Ds and Rs both. They are all getting all the political mileage they can get from grandstanding about it. No, not serious. Some power handtools would get through it without much trouble. It doesn't matter--it's meant to be a detriment, not impassable.

The bubble is so cozy.

Cutting through the slats was never going to be that hard. It was just Trump trying to save face and offer a compromise. If that cross section of the hollow steel with concrete inside (that’s what it appears) is right, hand power tools would work fine to penetrate it. It will always need to be watched and patrolled to be effective. I assume that’s always been someone’s plan, not that the pols are eager to share those details.

Tiberius you liked my comment but I suspect we’re only in partial agreement about whose leadership failure is on display.

I wish he would just declare the emergency already. Everyone can claim a victory. The court battles can start. And we can move on from this failure of leadership.

You say that I don't contribute to the aliens, lizard people, and whatnot in this thread. Go ahead and try to tell me there are no time-travelers among us (and yes, this is not a hoax...the show was called Trackdown, from the 50s, and there's no voiceover work in this). There is a glitch in the matrix.

"Trumptards" "Libtards" When you move in close, all that division goes away and you have people. And they are almost entirely amazing and deserving of compassion.

America *is* great but negativity moves agendas.

Wouldn’t it have been interesting to see Trump and the Ds specifically lay out their cases for where and how some parts of the border would benefit from a physical barrier and why. How other parts have natural barriers. How others can be monitored and protected in other ways. What the competing ideas are for detainees. How eminent domain would play a part. How long this would take to complete. Steel vs concrete practicality. Then discuss their differences. And all of this not as a friggin’ manufactured crisis. Instead both sides are children. Wall vs No Wall like it needs to be a binary thing. We shouldn’t be buying one side over the other in this debate. We should put a pox on both their houses and demand better. Get to the compromise and move on to more important work.

Tiberius owned you. And by his celebration of your post, also Foxx. Admit it: That smarts a little.

These people should be prosecuted for sure. But imagine living in a state where you have to resort to illegal election tactics to beat a pedophile.

You needed to link the same article again? You just had your breakout moment as a person too!

Is it purple?

She and Ocasio-Cortez need to join Trump in time out until they can act like grown ups. Sadly the electorate voted for a lot of sideshow candidates who have learned how to get attention over the last two years. Is this your first post here? A little long on ellipses but welcome to a discussion. This is kind of how you do it.

I’m just singin’ in the reign.

May love rein o’er you.

And those who want to restore the checks and balances.

Mexican sex traffickers smuggle sex traffic into the US over the US-Mexico border? You don’t say. Reagrding the national emergency possibility, that will be fun.

Trump is attracted to dictators. He has weird soft spots for them. Like them? Not sure. Admires them somehow? Clearly.

Roy Moore behind false flag operation that Roy Moore was not a pedophile.

I'm not the one positing a theory that there's some organized conspiracy. I don't think there's any collusion between Trump and Putin.

I wasn't arguing with you brotha. Deep breaths. This again? Stop stalking me. It's creepy.

So the adults didn't talk the child out of his decision? The Borg did it? I understand the idea that there's a bureaucratic entity, friend, and in it are a bunch of people. Those people make their own self-serving decisions, mistakes, and statements. There's no us vs. them. They are all us. To speak of it like it's a conspiratorial entity is nonsense. It's just the usual Leviathan.
