If Trump deployed 7,000 active-duty troops to the border, it could cost between $3 to $5,000,000 a day at a minimum. If he dispatched 15,000 troops, it could run to at least $6.1 to $10,200,000 a day in personnel costs, Bloomberg Government estimates.

A vicious accuser of Justice Kavanough has just admitted that she was lying, her story was totally made up, or FAKE! Can you imagine if he didn’t become a Justice of the Supreme Court because of her disgusting False Statements. What about the others? Where are the Dems on this?

"His face flush with self-satisfaction, concentrated smugness, tinged with a pugilist's cruelty"
A fleeting moment within the teaser for Axios’s interview with Donald Trump, the centerpiece of Sunday’s “Axios on HBO,” tells all you need to know about how the president truly feels about his relationship to the media.
Moments after Jim VandeHei admits to Trump that his “enemy of the people” rhetoric scares the hell out of him, the reporter (and co-founder of the media site) tells the president, “You are, like, the most powerful man in the world.”
Reflexively Trump looks off-camera and grins, briefly, his face flush with what appears to be self-satisfaction. There was concentrated smugness in that expression, tinged with a pugilist’s cruelty.
n that scene, VandeHei points out the extreme irresponsibility of any leader of the free world using his position and platform to vilify an entire class of people, and using that rhetoric to stoke the emotions of the people who constitute his base.
Ever the attention-hungry reality show star, Trump softly replies, “They like me more because of it,” calling his dangerous hyperbolic term the only way he can fight back. That satisfied grin says he knows he’s winning.

When Obama gave a careful speech about manufacturing policy, it didn't get live coverage. If Trump promises he's going make good TV by lying about the caravan and slandering immigrants, CNN goes live.
"Newsworthy" has to mean more than this.

You can connect the dots and see where this Steve King thing is going, right?
1). Karl Rove just re-tweeted a National Review article and commented "I agree we do."
(For the record, I don't follow Rove on Twitter, but I do follow Aaron Rupar. You've seen his tweets in many of my threads, often clips of Trump. He re-tweeted Rove, and I'm not posting the links to Rove or National Review here).
2). The article was titled "Conservatives Need To Draw The Line At Steve King."
3). The tag line of the article is "His support for far-right extremists makes him more trouble than he's worth." Rove "agrees."
AS I READ THE TEA LEAVES, HERE'S WHAT COMES NEXT.
4). Conservatives dispose of King, with Trump's blessing.
5). Trump takes a victory lap for solving the problem of racism and white supremacy in the Republican party.
6). Trump continues being Trump, but Fox & Friends (and the MAGAts) high-five him for taking a bold and non-partisan presidential stance on racism and white supremacy in the Republican party.
7). No one has the courage to say out loud the fact that National Review's tag line, "His support for far-right extremists makes him more trouble than he's worth," describes Trump just as accurately as it describes King. It also will take one hell of a lot more than throwing one psychopath under the bus to "solve the problem." But no one will say any of that.
Did I miss anything?
Trump: "America now has the best economy in the history of our country. Can you believe this?"
At the "MAGA rally" in Indianapolis.
"If I told you during the election the great numbers we would achieve, they wouldn't believe it. They would not let us get away with it but we would have gotten away with it anyway."
I think maybe two rallies per day is too much for him.
Trump: "Today, TWO RALLIES! Don't tell anyone (big secret), but I will be..."

Will be going to West Virginia and Indiana today, TWO RALLIES! Don’t tell anyone (big secret), but I will be bringing Coach Bobby Knight to Indiana. He’s been a supporter right from the beginning of the Greatest Political Movement in American History!
