Trump Is Now Talking About A Humanitarian Crisis On Our Southern Border....

Therefore we should pick up his lead and come up with the most 'humanitarian way' to treat those wishing to come into our country from the South.

Trump has gone from the Wall; to various types of walls, steel slats, fences; to calling it 'border security'; and now he's saying there's a humanitarian crisis on the border.

His child/parent separation policy created a major humanitarian crisis which still isn't resolved and they keep on finding creative ways of keeping people from coming to the U.S.

So lets take him up on his 'humanitarian crisis' and propose the most humanitarian way to handle and treat the people wishing to come into our country from the South. Call his bluff. Give him a plan that will treat people the kindest and most humane.
Make him eat his words. Continue to deny him money for a wall or fence or barrier - but agree to provide him money to welcome and accept people in the most humane way.

Just The Thought That Trump Might Be A Russian Asset......

disgusts me.

If in this FBI investigation of Trump as a Russian Asset turns up evidence that - in fact - it is true - they should move quickly to make sure the American People are informed and action should be taken to remove Trump from office and punish him to the fullest extent of the law.

Mr. Trump You Say You Never Worked For Russia - Yet You Shutdown.....

our government which is playing right into the hands of Putin and the Russians. You can prove to us you don't work for Putin by ending the shutdown. If you refuse to end the shutdown - all we can assume is that you really are a Russian Asset.

How To End The Shutdown With Everyone Sorta Winning......

1. Trump calls Mitch in confidence and asks Mitch to allow the vote and make sure it is veto-proof. He & Mitch don't let on that they are hatching this scheme.

2. Mitch holds a news conference where he says he wants to end the shutdown and that he's going to defy Trump and schedule the vote.

3. Trump says he'll veto it to look tough.

4. Trump throws a fit to make it look he's pissed but he acts reluctantly that he's forced to sign the bill to end the shutdown without the wall money because it is veto-proof.

5. The shutdown is ended without the Dems giving in and providing any money to Trump for the wall.

Mitch looks like he and the Repugs saved the day and got tough with Trump by defying him.

Pelosi and the Dems look good cause they didn't give in on the wall and could claim they forced the Repugs to cave.

Trump says he still will get his money for the wall in the future and that he would have gotten the money but Mitch caved and there was nothing he could do because it was veto-proof. But he's glad the shutdown has ended and he lives to fight another day for the wall.

This gets Trump out of the corner he backed himself into.

All walk away to fight another day.

This is my suggestion as to how to end it in a way where all parties walk away with kind of a win.

What do you think?

How Come The MSM Won't Ask This Question......

of Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Repugs:

Why won't they cross Trump? Why they fall in line with him all the time and protect him?

The talking heads hypothesize on everything else - but is seems that no one goes there that perhaps the Repugs are in up to their necks with the Russians as well.

In light of the NYT article about Trump as a Russian asset - is it that hard to perceive that other Repugs might be wrapped up with the Russians as well?

What about Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and Ingraham and the Fox Network for that matter? Why isn't there ever any speculation that maybe these people might be tied to the Russians as well?

I know we speculate about this here on DU - but it seems like the MSM won't go there.

I Retired In August - Put On 22 lbs Since & Am Considering Joining A Health Club.....

I was wondering if anyone here joined 'SilverSneakers' and am looking for a review of that and suggestions as to what health/fitness center I should join. Any comments would be appreciated. My goals are weight loss to get back to my ideal weight of 148 lbs & conditioning as I noticed I've been huffing & puffing just doing simple chores.

How Do Repugs Even Think That Trump Has A Chance For Re-Election In 2020?.....

They can't be that brain dead. All they have to do is recall what happened in the November 2018 Midterm. The Repugs were pretty much whipped and mostly because of Trump.

Why do they continue to bet their future on Trump going forward? Does anyone really believe that Trump has a chance on getting re-elected? One would think that the Repugs would be doing everything that they can now to distance themselves from Trump. I just don't get it. What is he holding over them to make them keep on supporting him?

It's Happening - The MSM Has Given Trump The Green Light To Call It A National Emergency.....

Listening to Hardball now the consensus is that Trump's only way out of this corner he backed himself into is to invoke a National Emergency. They are saying that Trump would come out looking good if he did.

They are basically in the process of normalizing Trump's behavior as an autocrat in this situation and green lighting him to do it.

So everytime Trump pushes the crazy envelope - the MSM let him get away with things and normalize his behavior.

Sorry folks - this democracy is on a pathway to demise.
