That's alright. We all have to start somewhere. Poor kid grew up dodging blue ice bombs in Nebraska.

Hey Waggs, have you ever traveled?

They are in for a great awakening.
I wish I could be so positive. I probably shouldn't have read any HL Mencken. A quarter to a third of this country believes everything they hear on Fux News.

Nippleheads.

Repube Rep from OH, a VERY Trumpkin state, rails against DiaperDon’s veto. He’s mighty pissed. About time, idiot Repubes! Hope many of your cowardly friends in Congress will grow a pair, too.

Argument over increasing to $2000 strikes me as likely to destroy the hard-won consensus of $600. Result: no stimulus at all, and none of the other vital provisions in the bill, the unemployment extension and rent relief, either. And remember that Trump is not out to get $2000 for everyone, he has no idea how to do that if he wanted to. $2000 is just a big rock he threw into the pool.

Never forget that cruelty for it's own sake is what drives this broken individual. He's going to wreak as much havoc as he can, while he can. He's as corrupt as they come by a long shot. It's going to rain pardons.

Pardoning Blackwater war criminals? Is that what it means to be a Republican these days? You're cool with that shit?

The $2000, whether it is Trump's or anyone else, is viewed against the backdrop of the foreign giveaway and whether that giveaway is in whatever bill.

It is a fantastic illumination.

DiaperDon’s pardon of Manafort and Stone puts them in new legal jeopardy: Mueller prosecutor

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-pardons-2649637415/

The Russian collusion will be outed. If these slime balls lie about it to a grand jury, they’ll be behind bars, pardons notwithstanding.

I am so ready for that. #DiaperDon's umbrella of invincibility will no longer be open.

Mike DeBonis @mikedebonis

Once again, to repeat, this foreign aid package:

-was in the Trump budget
-was approved by the GOP controlled Senate Approps Committee (and SFOPS subcmte chaired by one @LindseyGrahamSC)
-garnered the votes of 128 of 195 House Republicans on Monday


Quote Tweet
Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader

Democrats appear to be suffering from selective hearing. They've conveniently ignored @realDonaldTrump's call to reexamine tax dollars wasted overseas while so many Americans are struggling at home.

...yada, yada, yada...

As DiaperDon leaves office, 50% of Americans see him as a 'failed' president

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ay/3926190001/

...the other 50% simply aren't paying attention...
