He desperately wants AG or Secdef and everything has always been done to try and put himself there.

As time goes on I think he's mostly just interested in attaching himself to someone at the center of attention. Before that was McCain, but now it is Trump.

I think this ends when Congress reconvenes and Congressional Republicans have a very serious closed-door meeting with Trump where they yell at him for 20 minutes and he caves because he's a coward.

Hillary Clinton is not going to run for President in 2020.

She's going to try and our only hope is that she gets spanked in the first 2-3 primaries. Fortunately I think that's likely to happen if the party isn't pushing her.

Beto won't run for President but he might be somebody's VP pick.

Congressional Republicans in general are cowards, but Mitch McConnell is not. He's many other unkind words, of course.

But they already did that (or similar). He was all for the clean CR but then went back to watching Fox News or talked with Miller and flipped.

Unless they give him a bill to sign in their presence right after he agrees, any promises extracted in a meeting with Trump are meaningless.

Maybe the solution to possibly tainted water would be to officially, regularly supply fresh water so people, you know, don't literally loving die of dehydration.

I mean, even if the water is tainted it's probably better to get sick rather than die in the desert of dehydration. Besides, removing water caches to prevent people from attempting to cross the border irregularly is as asinine as not teaching teens to use condoms in order to prevent them having sex. Except this one's worse because it has a much higher likelihood of literally killing people.

Not really as then you succumb to other issues like fatigue which leads to death. Or god forbid it makes you a type of sick that causes you to vomit which burns your body through fluids. Or something your body tries to pass through your urine which leads you right back to step one, dying of dehydration.

Is this the analog to the old Mitch Hedberg line? "If you're lost in the woods, gently caress it, build a house; you used to be lost, but now you live here."

And it's kind of incredible how the non-CHUD conservative types aren't making the mental leap. They're crossing the desert, tainted water, no water, because even THAT is better than staying where they are. But that requires thinking about a hardship that they might only understand intellectually.

No you've got it wrong. We need to give companies that build walls tax breaks, and that'll turn into cheaper walls for everyone!

Oddly enough I hear tell of CHUD expats in Mexico. I mean, how does your wrinkled old white CHUD rear end spend significant time in Mexico and not figure out any of the dynamics behind irregular migration to the US and why the wall is a horrifically stupid idea?

I understand that the racist's calculus goes something like "this is good, because the Mexican people are in Mexico and serving me, instead of daring to speak Spanish at the supermarket in America" but it still seems so bizarre to me.
