    He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
    Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
    He will not go behind his father's saying,
    And he likes having thought of it so well
    He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

    It's about the Republican Party enforcing the wish of the KKK on the rest of us Americans.

    And some of the voters voted for him because he said Mexico would pay for his wall, didn't they?

    It has been decades since I was in school, but I seem to remember that was written by Robert Frost?

    You got it :)

    I've seen "good fences make good neighbors" quoted by multiple people in support of the border wall, which is funny because the meaning of the poem was quite the opposite

    Mending Wall
    ...

    Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,
    That wants it down.”

    I'm beginning to think that the whole Trump "my way or the Highway" approach to the wall, the government shutdown, and threatening to declare a national emergence is one big diversionary strategy to weaken the Democrats' position on the Mueller probe and issues related to Presidential wrongdoing. After plunging the government into dysfunction over the shutdown, he's banking on the fact that the American public will be weary of partisan conflict and have no appetite for further bickering over probes into the manifold dung heaps of Trump's crimes and corruption.

    A typical Trump response: Winning!


    US federal shutdown becomes longest in history
    Polls show Trump getting most of the blame for the shutdown, as he continues standoff with Democrats over border wall

    everything drumpf does is to deflect away from the Mueller investigation.

    he doesn't care what people think of him. he's a bully.

    And it is not in him to care who is hurt by this shutdown. He couldn't dredge up a molecule of empathy from that morass of twisted logic in his "brain ", for anyone but himself. His lovers have become inured to anything like human judgement against him. Pretty sad for the country/world. I hope his whole god damn crime family pays the price for their wrong doing.

    Well Brother Scratcho, now it sounds like the FBI was/is looking into his relationship with the Russians...outside of Mueller's inquiry, and outside of congressional oversight. This could only mean he's the subject of criminal investigation. I think it is why he wanted to replace all the higher ups at the FBI who specialized in Russian investigations, like Peter Strozk...to obstruct any investigation of his own activity.

    How the big new New York Times scoop changes our understanding of the Trump-Russia probe
    In May 2017, the FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was working on Russia’s behalf.
    By Andrew Prokopandrew

    How the big new New York Times scoop changes our understanding of the Trump-Russia probe

    excerpt:

    "But as Lawfare’s Benjamin Wittes writes, the new Times report certainly appears to suggest that the obstruction probe of Trump was closely connected to interest in his Russia ties all along.

    “Observers of the Russia investigation have generally understood Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s work as focusing on at least two separate tracks,” Wittes writes: collusion and obstruction. But, he says, he now believes those two “are far more integrated with one another than I previously understood.”

    “What if the obstruction was the collusion — or at least a part of it?” Wittes asks.

    That is: Many have long wondered whether some of Trump’s actions — like him asking Comey to “let” a Russia-related investigation into Michael Flynn “go,” and eventually firing the FBI director when he didn’t — were part of an effort to obstruct justice.

    But the FBI seems to have also been wondering whether they were part of an effort to obstruct justice to Russia’s benefit."

    So anyone who thinks that we should have some control over who enters our country has given in to fear and is an ignorant, hateful bigot. How is it that you have powers to see inside other peoples heads and hearts? I’m sorry, but you are simply mistaken. And BTW, the government wastes 5 billion in boondoggles on a weekly basis, and much of that heroin you reference is crossing that border as we speak.

    Thr Dems simply cannot allow the president to get a win. It’s all about 2020.

    Not at all. We should take control over our borders. But hopefully we can so it in a rational way, instead of a costly, ineffective boondoggle. Most of the heroin crossing the border seems to be doing so at points of entry or planes landing at airports--at least that's what Trump administration officials tell us.Meth, cocaine, heroin: Most gets smuggled through ports of entry. A wall won't stop it. Trump’s wall won’t do anything about the opioid epidemic As for the $5 billion, as the late Republican Sen. Everett Dirksen used to say, "A billion here, a billion there can soon add up to big money!" The problem with giving in to extortionists is that once you do, there'll be no end to it. I do think the Democrats need to come up with an alternative border security plan of their own. But speaking of not wanting a party to get a win, that argument cuts both ways. The Democrats just won an election and a majority in the House. The voters voted for them, knowing what they stand for. Don't they get a win? Shouldn't Trump be making them an offer they can't refuse? (I don't mean Don Corlione's version) Republicans have had two year in control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress to get their wall. The Democrats agreed to over $20 billion for the wall. But no, Trump had to have it all--or nothing, and give nothing back for it. Besides, haven't they had enough wins with Kavenaugh and packing the courts? Republicans need to throw The Art of the Deal (Art of the Tantrum) away and try Roger Fisher's Getting to 'Yes'.

    You’re confusing that with the republicans under the Obama administration.

    I can see why you wouldn’t like the shoe being on the other foot though, were it the case.

    The Trump Presidency In 2018
    12/19/18 11:32am

    https://politics.theonion.com/the-trump-presidency-in-2018-1831205342

    Selected incidents:


    January 30:

    Trump uses first State of the Union to tout his infrastructure plan, something that is totally, definitely still happening.


    October 6:

    Trump’s reckless Supreme Court nomination of alleged sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh is rejected by the upstanding members of the Republican Party in a brave stand for basic moral principles.


    October 22:

    At a rally in Houston, Trump describes himself as “a nationalist” to six seconds of silence, then adds “the nation is America” to 20 seconds of raucous cheering.
