Thu Jun 21, 2018, 04:10 PM

Trump Dictionary - Grammatically incorrect, best guesses on word definitions such as Covfefe, womp womp or bigly and combined word such Nambia. Original spelling such as Council and Councel when referring to White House Counsel, unpresidented act, tapp my phones, attaker, hearby and hear by, etc., etc., etc.

Without such a dictionary historians will be confused.

Yet,
– Trump's heading to Russia in July to meet Putin.
– Several GOP asses are going to Russia on July 4th.
– Russian media is proclaiming something big is about to happen.

I guess if the only "news" one gets is from Fox, then they will be in the dark forever.

They want to suck up to Trump and his rabid racist base, but at the same time want some credit for secretly be appalled.

It reminds me of this Simpsons clip. The faux concern and apology begins at 1:20.



Private e-mails back and forth are meaningless. It's about eighteen months past time these cowards stood up for actual American values, rather than kowtowing to a Russian stooge and his following of addled cultists.

60. Want immigration reform? Vote Democratic
Fri Jun 22, 2018, 12:43 PM
Jun 2018

One of the many lies is that the Democratic party blocks immigration reform.

In the house, republicans couldn't get a simple majority on their hard-line bill on Thursday. They pushed back the vote on the more moderate bill because they couldn't get a simple majority on that either.

In the senate, the votes for immigration reform came almost entirely from Democrats.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/16/heres-how-your-senators-voted-on-failed-immigration-proposals.html

The one bill Republican senators could get behind wasn't about immigration reform, it only punished sanctuary cities.

Sorry if I miscount the check marks on the other votes

The Coons/Mccain bill failed 52-47 with 46 Democratic votes, 2 independent votes and 4 Republican votes

The Collins bill which included 25 Billion for border security failed 54-45 with 46 Democratic votes, 2 independent votes and 6 Republican votes.

The Grassley bill couldn't get a simple majority and failed 39-60.

If Trump says something the default position should be that it is a lie.
