President Trump: Making America Great Again...

Agree! Godless commies lost to enlightened Judeo-Christian capitalists. So beautiful.

It had more to do with Adam Smith and Charles Darwin--both of them atheists--than Jews or Christians.

Now the godless commie Russians are kicking our ass. Thanks Vichy GOP!

Our economy and, I think, national well-being depends on a steady infusion of new talent. Indeed, with our national birth rate at substantially below replacement levels, we'll eventually be in serious economic trouble if we don't increase immigration.

I don’t fully agree with this. We are constantly doing more with less people and that trend will continue. I’m not saying we shouldn’t allow in more immigrants, I just think this type of reasoning assumes technology will stay static, which it won’t. Offshoring is also an very viable alternative and it moves capital to poorer countries without the need for mass relocation.

We were right! Our ideology, whatever its other faults, works! Why don't we celebrate it the same way that Russia celebrates its Great Patriotic Victory. If I were a billionaire, I'd found a museum of The Cold War. I'd lay it all out; the good, the bad, and the ugly; let the facts speak for themselves The world needs one of those. Our Cold War victory was America's finest hour. (This is radical, I know.)

This would not be good for business.

How about if I change "talent" to "talent/consumers/FICA contributors"?

FIFY... Russia isn't really even on the radar.

well then even the more reason for our Pres to take his orders from the dictator of a two-bit country, right?

OMG... did the Mueller report finally come out confirming this?

Let me be the first to say, "Welcome to the White House, President Pence!"

We don't need the Mueller report to confirm Trump believes Putin over anyone else. It's in his own words.

If Trump gets away with this "national emergency!" nonsense, I hope the GOP enjoys it when the next dem president declares one on climate change when they can't get their green new deal to pass Congress. Terrible precedent. The House will vote against it and even in the Senate there should be enough votes to force a veto. In the end, I think the courts will strike it down. Trump is probably a little naive about that. Either that, or he thinks he's got enough now to tell his base that he "fought" for them against those terrible immigrants and hope they call it good.

[Jeff Lebowski]

This "emergency" is a joke and should be gutted by the courts. Trump is the worst.

I'm fine with Trump declaring the emergency. Now the courts will strike it down and a future president won't try declare one on climate change because the limits of the president's emergency powers will be more clear.

It's not unclear. It's just Trump using this silly theater to appease his base.

Exactly. We already know what the executive powers are, we just happen to have an incurious asshole who doesn't give a shit about the legalities of his preferred methods of asserting his agenda.
