This has always been at the center of the entire debate. Illegals voting secure victories for the left, and have for years. Now they're just being open about their motives: 

 

 

Nothing to see here.

But, but, but, wasn't it child trafficking? ?

Some are still waiting on confirmation he's a Russian asset first. You know, like we were told was a "fact" for over two years by many. 

Yes, where the heck is that report??? It's like they are actually investing SOMETHING

Gee, have you folks made Trump a saint yet?  What is taking so long?

 

We don't make him a saint until he does something that is truly considered a miracle: like getting AOC to peel a potato.

Mt Flush More, maybe. 

 

You guys won't be singing this clowns praise after he is gone. Just like with Bush you'll be running away as fast as you can claiming none of you voted for him, it was all Democrats that voted for him etc. etc....

and you kids out there, listen up

 

our feelings for Trump aren't as strong and good as they were for Reagan...

Many of us say right now that we didn't vote for him.

 

I voted for the Libertarian idiot.

Me too. And Johnson was a friggin' tool. Weld would have been more appealing at the top of the ticket but the Libertarians remain hard to take seriously as a party in spite of having the platform I most agree with. Their party energy remains consumed by the potheads.

I voted for Trump and I'm glad I did.  The market is up again today.

The market's up today, despite Boeing crashing.

 

Er...Boeing taking a nose-dive.

 

Boeing plummeting?

 

Boeing falling?  

 

Is there any way to describe what Boeing's stock did today without sounding racist against Ethiopians?

I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I write in for SMOD. In fairness, as you know,  it doesn't matter who you vote for in CA. For every Republican vote there are two harvested mail-ins. They finally got enough to turn OC full blue.

 

As a side note, I ran Ed Royce at the dry cleaners last week. First time I've seen him out since he retired. I told him we missed him, and wished he was still representing us, and he quietly shook my hand, shook his head and essentially said, "Hard to believe how far left they've gone."

Well, it definitely would not be "Dark days ahead..." or "Here's the skinny..."

Yeah I was trying to work the "they don't serve food on planes anymore so..........."  angle but that's as far as I got.

To be clear on what just happened here, Republicans tried to come up with a way to give Trump the national emergency he wants, while also giving themselves a way to mitigate the political damage from it. And this does have the potential to be damaging: A new Politico/Morning Consult poll finds that only 38 percent of Americans favor the emergency declaration, while 52 percent oppose it. Independents oppose it by 57-30, and a plurality of 46 percent of independents say they would be less likely to vote for a lawmaker who backs Trump on this.

That means Senators up for reelection have to think about this vote. As Morning Consult’s vice president puts it: “Backing Trump’s national emergency declaration could be politically toxic for senators up for reelection bids in 2020.”
