monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Are you infallible?

I don't care about your political party or lack thereof. I'm asking if you find yourself as guilty of what you wrote (seemingly in a negative connotation). I don't disagree with you at all...I find this all over the board and am guilty at times of some of these (although I actively try not to be).

(1) fanantical certitude
(2) demonization of one's opponents
(3) extreme over-simplification
(4) hate

Is this something that you engage in and are a part of on this board?

I don't know the details, whether dreamers was included or whether any democrats voted or anything really other than the above.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California announced she would oppose the budget measure unless the chamber's GOP leaders promised a vote on legislation to protect "Dreamer" immigrants who face deportation after being brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

Pelosi took to the House floor, promising to speak for hours, and said she would oppose that almost-completed budget pact even though it would boost funding for many domestic priorities favored by Democrats. She declared the agreement "does not have my support, nor does it have the support of a large number of members of our caucus."

She spoke as liberal activists protested that many Democrats were moving to leave Dreamer immigrants behind in grabbing the budget deal, a longstanding goal for the party.

Pelosi said the House should debate immigration legislation and noted that Senate Republicans have slated a debate on the politically freighted subject starting next week.

Chances of a repeat of last month's shutdown had appeared to be fading as prospects of a budget pact grew, but Pelosi's opposition could throw a monkey wrench into the plan. But it's clear that Senate Democrats have no appetite for another government shutdown. Their unity splintered during last month's three-day closure.

Senate Democratic leaders have dropped their strategy of using the funding fight to extract concessions on immigration, specifically on seeking extended protections for the "Dreamer" immigrants. Instead, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., prepared to cut a deal that would reap tens of billions of dollars for other priorities — including combatting opioids — while taking their chances on solving the immigration impasse later.

It puzzles me when people give them oxygen here.

Setanta: you suffer from the same defect as Finn. You pontificate, but you don't substantiate.

blatham: Actually, Finn does provide citations/links sometimes. But george, never. It's assertions all the way down.

If I had more hair, I would be pulling it out at the sight of so many Republicans/conservatives dropping every shred of honor and dignity in order to defend their tribal affiliation. This is a very frightening point in time.

When Trump mentioned "shitholes" he forgot to include the People's Republic of California, eh?

I'm sure they did. Which is really quite a drag because... no seat warmers. And those seats are going to be cold.

As I've described before, much of the ClintonsForMcCain/Puma movements were false flag operations run by the RNC and allies
