A climber scaled a replica of Trump's 'impenetrable' wall … while juggling
Okay, a couple days ago I dispatched a missive telling y’all that an 8-year-old had climbed a replica of Donald Trump’s “impenetrable” wall. And it was the funniest shit I’d ever heard in my everlasting giggle-fucking-fest of a life. Until the following. The guy who invited the 8-year-old has now summoned more climbers. “Numerous people”…

8-year-old climbed over replica of Trump's 'impenetrable' wall; an adult did it in 40 seconds
It’s like entire new galaxies full of stupid are being discovered every day. So Trump has touted his wall as being “virtually impenetrable.” Which to me sounds like you’d need a special X-Men superpower to get through it. Ah, but no. It’s literally child’s play. After Trump bragged that his wall was “virtually impenetrable,” Rick Weber, co-founder…

NYT: Trump wanted a moat along border wall 'stocked with snakes or alligators'

Greg Sargent: RNC Withholding Data Showing Trump's Unpopularity from Down Ballot Candidates.
Columnist Greg Sargent, in his Plum Line blog at the Washington Post cites a Pro Publica piece of Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale to show that Trump’s popularity had gotten so low that the RNC is keeping the facts from down ballot candidates lest they seek to distance themselves from Kumquat Klanboss or disseminate it…

The Bland Viciousness of Stephen Miller
A few years ago I wrote a post collecting some very well-turned quotations by writers attempting to describe the dysfunction and threat of the Republican Party.

The Real Reason for Opposing Immigration
The real problem is not that immigrants are destroying the American dream but that they are achieving it. If you are in the segment of America that applauded the re-writing of the plaque on the Statue of Liberty by Ken Cuccinelli yesterday, you can no longer look her in her bronze eyes. The truth about…

Trump smirked and joked at rally three months ago after supporter suggested shooting immigrants
So this video hasn’t aged well, huh? During a Florida hate rally in May, Trump yukked it up with his supporters after one of them suggested shooting immigrants who try to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. He also emphasized the word “invasion” approximately 17,000 times, presaging the El Paso killer’s pre-massacre rhetoric. TRUMP: This is an invasion….
FFS – Obama had no ability to decrease the number of deportations
The dumbest argument that I heard in the last Democratic Debate was the notion (and attack on Joe Biden) that fmr. President Obama should have reduced the number of deportations. As the NYT summarized: Other Democrats, siding with Mr. Castro, joined in piling on Mr. Biden, the front-runner. Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York…

Trump tells Elijah Cummings to go back to the 'rat-infested mess' he came from
Hmm, this sounds familiar, huh? Just two weeks after telling Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib to go back to their “original countries,” Trump is blowing his racist dog-whistles again. And, once again, you’d have to be a pretty deaf dog not to hear them. Now he’s going after Rep. Elijah Cummings,…

Trump has built precisely zero miles, yards, feet, or inches of new wall during his presidency
This according to the conservative Washington Examiner: The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.” In a statement last week, U.S. Customs and…
Stephen Miller visits 'Fox News Sunday' to gaslight the country
Stephen Miller is patient zero in the nativist, anti-immigrant contagion that’s swept across our country. Sure, Donald Trump ran on white racial grievance, but he can’t focus on anything for too long — not even his deep-seated prejudices and the cruelty that naturally springs from them. Without Miller, the administration might have drifted into something…

The Gang of Hate
Not only has the Republican Party allowed Donald John Trump to operate above the law, but they have also sanctioned his acts beyond humanity. In 2013 eight Senators, 4 Democrats and 4 Republicans [The Gang of Eight] made a serious foray into ending America’s much-disputed entry policy for foreign emigres into the United States. This…

America; Love it or Leave it…
< p class=”is-empty-p” style=”text-align:justify”> In the 1960s and 1970s, the pre-Twitter meme of its’ day was “America, love it or leave it.” Racism, protest to the Vietnam war and women’s rights were at issue. Like an abused spouse, dissent was stifled with a swift smack to the face of free speech. Back then, the American…

Multiple Messages Being Sent By Trump And Republicans With Pence Visit to Border Facility.
I see the MSNBC segment on Pence’s visit to a border facility, and my first reaction is, “Why the hell would anyone want to allow this to be released to the public?” Then, I took a look at Pence’s, Graham’s, and Senator Lee’s body language, and I think I understand what they are up to. …

Trump throws Don Jr. and Eric under the bus
Who wouldn’t Donald Trump throw under the bus? He just pointed two grubby little index fingers at his sons. Would he turn Melania over to ICE?

Ex-ethics chief: Trump administration are 'twisted monsters' for slowing medical care at border
