		<description>&lt;I&gt;As for your comment the other day saying how Trump says JUMP and Mexico says, &quot;How high?&quot;.... The Mexican president canceled the meeting... So it&#039;s less &quot;How high?&quot; and more like, &quot;Go frak yourself!&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

Actually, it was Trump that told Mexico to cancel the meeting if they weren&#039;t going to be reasonable..  :D

But I can understand why you would blame Trump..  :D

&lt;I&gt;An import tax means that WE would pay the increase for products coming from Mexico &lt;/I&gt;

How so??

&lt;I&gt;and it would likely result in Mexico placing a similar tax on American exports heading south.&lt;/I&gt;

Then we just send our products somewhere else...  

Mexico needs the US a lot more than the US needs Mexico.. 

Ergo, Mexico dances to OUR tune....

America First, baby...  :D</description>

		<description>Troll
39

Like I said... just don&#039;t call me late for dinner.

You&#039;re so admirable for admitting what I said the other day is true.
And it was so easy to get you to do it.
Neil was right about you there. 
But a Jedi mind trick via a comment section is good fun.

Of course, the hypocrisy of suddenly embracing the reality that empty assertion does not make something factual is terribly disturbing coming after all those empty assertions you made.
But now I can quote you when you do it again!
And you will.
Listen was right about your hypocrisy.

And once again, you put the trollery of not abiding by the same standards you expect others to keep on full display.
I guess you don&#039;t know what integrity means either.
Yet another example of me being right.

In any case, the troll who thinks a temperature prediction in a weather forecast is a &quot;fact&quot; ranting about &quot;facts&quot; that did not &quot;prove&quot; anything is hilarious.
John and Liz did a wonderful job of pointing out you were wrong.

I&#039;m glad you went back to trying vulgarity to &quot;vanquish&quot; me though.
Your recurring fantasizing about wanting to spank me was Trump level creepy.

I&#039;m just not that into you.

&lt;I&gt;No.
You didn&#039;t.&lt;/I&gt;

You need to get over this idea that, simply because you say something, that makes it so...

I have aptly proven that I am right with facts and examples...

You have nothing but whiney little drivel that spews out of your mouth..  Why do you think you are called &quot;ALICE&quot; in addition to TROLL and ASSHOLE...

Face the facts, little bit.. You are outclassed and outgunned...   Run upstairs to mommy and cry....    :D</description>

		<description>Hey CW

Thirteen Democratic Senators voted to confirm a new head of the CIA who refused to rule out re-implementing torture as US policy... including the Senate Minority leader and DiFi.

I don&#039;t understand why you are dwelling on an unlikely theoretical.

No.

Once again you demonstrated that you don&#039;t know what &quot;prove&quot; means.
Congratulations again.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;From a presidential tweet: &quot; ... If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting&quot;.

Is this resignation that we will bear the full cost?&lt;/I&gt;

Nope... It&#039;s the opening salvo of a man who wrote the book on The Art Of The Deal...

One way or another, Mexico will pay for the wall..  

Even if they don&#039;t, who cares??!

What&#039;s important is our border is going to be secure....

THAT&#039;s what&#039;s important here...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;For tens of millions of christians on the planet, their &quot;truth&quot;, their &quot;reality&quot; is that there is an omni-present being that lives in the sky and has total and complete power over everything and everyone...&lt;/I&gt;

Now, you are mixing up religious belief with truth, facts and reality.

		<description>&lt;I&gt;You are mixing up truth with opinion. Again.&lt;/I&gt;

*I* am not doing it.  It&#039;s human nature to do it..

I am just one of the lucky ones who can rise ABOVE that sort of thing and embrace logic and facts..

&lt;I&gt;Truth, facts and reality are all the same thing.&lt;/I&gt;

Really???

For tens of millions of christians on the planet, their &quot;truth&quot;, their &quot;reality&quot; is that there is an omni-present being that lives in the sky and has total and complete power over everything and everyone...

You tell me.. Is that factual???

Truth and facts are NOT the same thing..

And it&#039;s only the people whose &#039;truth&#039; is that Hillary won the election who want you to believe it is...

Embrace FACTS, not truth...</description>

		<description>John,

Well, that&#039;s alright ... I think if Trump ordered his people to engage in the act of torture, they would refuse and resign and he wouldn&#039;t have any people left to do his dirty work.

At least, that is my hope.</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;B&gt;Jerry Brown Throws Down The Gauntlet Against Trump: ‘We Have To Live In The Truth’&lt;/B&gt;

As usual, Jerry Brown is wrong..

Truth is subjective.. For Democrats, the &#039;truth&#039; is that Hillary won the Election...  For President Trump, the &#039;truth&#039; is that the inauguration crowd was the largest in history....

But, in both cases, we know the FACTS say different..

&#039;Truth&#039; is a convenient &#039;Feel Good&#039; drug that has very little to do with reality..

If anyone says they are all about &#039;truth&#039; you KNOW they have something to hide....

We have to &quot;live in the FACTS&quot;....</description>

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;With respect to the Affordable Care Act, what Democrats should do - what they should have done before the election - is to lay out, with great specificity, the problematic areas of the ACA and how they should be fixed.&lt;/I&gt;

Couldn&#039;t agree with you more, Liz....

&lt;I&gt;If Democrats and the rest of the American resistance do that and nothing else, they would go a long way toward ensuring great electoral success in 2018.&lt;/I&gt;

But Democrats won&#039;t do that because they would have to admit they were wrong..

And, as we have seen since the Hillary Shellacking Of 2016, Democrats simply CANNOT admit when they are wrong..</description>

Another example would be the impeachment of Bill Clinton over the affair with Monica Lewinksy. It wasn&#039;t the affair itself that caused the impeachment. The supposed grounds for the impeachment was that he lied about the affair, committed perjury, in sworn testimony under oath to tell the truth as if he was in a court of law. That&#039;s what got him into trouble.</description>

&quot;If the president of the United States issues an unlawful order to a cabinet secretary or to any member of the president&#039;s national security council or agency, then is that grounds for impeachment, whether or not the order is followed?&quot;

I think the simple short answer to that is, NO.

Presidents issue orders all the time that are later found to be unconstitutional by the courts, in essence, that they were unlawful or illegal orders.

What impeachment requires is that the President be found to have actually violated a previously EXISTING law through an actual physical action, for want of a better term. Such as being caught and convicted of drunk driving. Or taking an active role in a conspiracy to cover up a crime, such as Nixon did, during the Watergate break in and burglary. 

The Constitution sets specific grounds for impeachment. They are “treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” To be impeached and removed from office, the House and Senate must find that the official committed one of these acts.</description>

		<description>Apparently, before President Obama left office, he warned congressional Democrats not to help Trump kill Obamacare.

That is both wrong-headed and misguided.

		<description>On the other hand, I think it might be better if Democrats just demonstrate that they have a better way forward, a better way to communicate it, and are capable of learning valuable lessons that voters in 2016 offered them.</description>
