Desert real estate, not a whole lot nearby, nothing to catch his eye from a realtor�s perspective.

This is probably closer to the sad truth than I�m comfortable with

it's impressive how much of the government has depended on the honor system basically

we have no mechanisms to call for early elections for any reason at all

the government can straight up shut down if they can't agree on funding

etc

I sort of wonder if this goes on long enough if SCOTUS will step in w/ some case law on this issue. Like this could conceivably be a real constitutional crisis if manbaby doesn't relent on asking for his ridiculous wall.

I've always been astonished by how Trump managed to find the shittiest possible people in career government positions, then promote them.

I'm less surprised by the amount of bullshit he manages to pull with the security state. That structure really is dependant on the President actually giving a poo poo about security and/or the future of the country.

But he's building a wall, he's the only one who cares about security!

I've been saying for years now that if somebody pulled off a major terrorist attack a la 9/11 while this imbecile is in office, he's going to make the response from the GWB admin looked restrained. I could see him suspending elections indefinitely. I'm deathly afraid of this poo poo man and it's kept me up before.

State department orders all non-emergency staff and citizens out of Venezuela. Insiders say trump is preparing a national emergency declaration.

I can't help but feel the two are related.

Venezuela is becoming hostile, so the need for the wall to keep their military out is imperative.

The Venezuelan military is a threat?

Half of them would stay behind in Mexico for the high paying jobs, and the other half would surrender at the border to claim asylum.

A 2 party past the post system is supposed to drive the electorate to a consensus position that makes these kinds of occurrences impossible

No, I mean that�s going to be the justification for Trump�s national emergency.
