“We can call a national emergency because of the security of our country, absolutely. We can do it. I haven’t done it, I may do it. I may do it, but we can call a national emergency and build it quickly, it’s another way of doing it,” he said at a press conference Friday.
Trump announced he was considering declaring a “national emergency” to move forward on construction through executive power; argued his administration would use eminent domain to obtain private land along the U.S.-Mexico border; and suggested a steel wall could provide manufacturing jobs to U.S. companies.
Nothing says, individual's rights like "We're going to steal your land."

Wut?

I don't care. They take what they want. I "OWE" them nearly 20K, so... ya know... whatever. Yeah. It's all a racket, and anyone who wants to make a case that it's legitimate is just stroking themselves. But that's fine, we all do that. So whatever. Stroke away.

There's no such thing as "individual rights". It's all BS. You all vote them away, so have at them.

I was in DC last weekend. Garbage wasn't piling up yet but restrooms being closed all around was a huge pain in the butt. In a city you can get around it mostly, but the parks are the big problem imo
FedGov should def be involved in garbage collection and public toilets. That's obv in the Constitushiation. Article 13, section 69 I'm purty shore. :thumb:
Yes that's exactly what I said.

We watched a five and a half minute ad on Netflix about how important the electoral college is for making America so kick-ass. It was paid for by Prager "University", which after checking out is some kind of bizarro mommyblog about fighting the libtards.

Trump's national security adviser John Bolton told reporters traveling with him in the Middle East today that the U.S. will not withdraw troops from Syria unless Turkey offers assurances that it will not target Kurdish fighters.

Considering the whole notion of a US troop withdrawal was kind of precipitated by Erdogan (and, presumably, his desire to murder-death-kill Kurds), I'm sure this news will be quite well received.

A new city policy requiring public signs on brick buildings warning they might collapse in an earthquake is part of a long history of white supremacy aimed at forcing black people to move out of neighborhoods, the NAACP of Portland, Oregon, says.

The group on Thursday decried the policy affecting some 1,600 unreinforced masonry buildings that are on average 90 years old, many in areas with a predominantly black population, The Oregonian/OregonLive reports .

The policy “exacerbates a long history of systemic and structural betrayals of trust and policies of displacement, demolition, and dispossession predicated on classism, racism, and white supremacy,” the group said.

Some interesting developments in the Jazmine Barnes case that has garnered national attention. Shortly after the 7 year old girl was murdered, Shaun King and other activists were jumping all over this shooting as a hate crime, committed by a white guy. Well, as it turns out, it was yet another instance of gang-related violence. Still horribly tragic, but this story would not have gotten nearly the traction it did without that initial agenda-driven element.

I didn't know much on that story, just about DeAndre Hopkins donating his game check. A drive by shooting in a bad neighborhood so I was wondering why Shaun King was getting involved. Guess I got my answer. Stunning to find out that he was spreading lies.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Francis Rooney introduce a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Congress

I'm actually against this idea, primarily because it gives more power to the lobbyists and career aides.

Multiple witnesses said the shooter was a white guy. Not sure what the lie is. Mistake yes. Opportunism yeah. Lie, no.

Why does Talcum X get such a pass from folks?

He lied about his race, gets caught making things up, drives racial division with "mistakes", etc...

Why should Trump be any kind of standard?

Shouldn't we hold people to a higher level than below zero?
