    I also believe that Trump's goal was to shut down the government, he is using border security/wall as an excuse. He loves Congress rushing to the WH to "negotiate". Time to change their strategy. Trump & McConnell must be compelled to re-open gov't. They are acting illegally.

    I don't know anyone who was actually bothered by Rep. Rashida Tlaib's comments. I just see a lot of pundits telling people they should be bothered — which in turn artificially amplifies her comments and tells people that the normative response is to be bothered.

    The irony of the privileged elitism to the nth degree of Tucker Carlson calling out saying he “gets rich” making fun of MAGA; as opposed to Tucker who flat out lies to them is so damn rich that those 10-tooth MAGA rubes will get a cavity and be left with no teeth.
