Remember when Donald Trump gave out Lindsey Grahamnesty's phone # for calling him a jackass?

The good old days.

Donald Trump gives out Lindsey Graham's cellphone number:

On Tuesday, Trump ramped up his attacks on the South Carolina senator — who made headlines Monday for calling the Donald a “jackass” — and even gave out Graham’s private phone number.

 

If Beto O'Rourke's dental hygienist was born in El Paso, why does she have to study to become a citizen?

I call bullshit on this story.

O'Rourke talks border during Instagram video at dentist:

Diana, wearing goggles and a mask over her face, said she was born in El Paso and that her father was a U.S. citizen. She added that her mother was born in a small town in Mexico and that she herself was a permanent resident in the U.S. while studying for her American citizenship. 

Jerusalem Post boasts 6% of the new Congress is Jewish, complains Christians are over-represented

Wait until it's full of Muslim motherf*ckers and then see how you like it.

There are 34 Jews in the House and Senate, which is 6.4% of the total 535. All but two are Democrats.

JEWISH REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS NOW THREE TIMES THAT OF NATION AS WHOLE:

Congress as a whole is overwhelmingly Christian — even more so than the country. Seventy-one percent of Americans identify as Christian, compared to 88 percent of Congress. Both Protestants and Catholics are over-represented on Capitol Hill.

Chicago Tribune joins NY Post in calling for another amnesty

Editorial: Have we got a deal for Trump: Wall money for DACA protection:

[G]ive the president the money he wants to spend on concrete or steel fencing as part of a budget agreement that reopens the government.

In exchange, let’s see a deal on DACA.

What a shock, right, libertarian New York Post calls for another amnesty as a compromise

Trump promised to end DACA and hasn't. He also promised to build a wall and hasn't.

We didn't elect him to compromise on these basic campaign promises.

The 1986 amnesty gave us the problem we have now. Another one will only give us another one, and another and another and another, wall or no wall.

End DACA! Build The Wall! Don't let people cut in line!

The obvious compromise to end the shutdown:

[T]he two sides need merely agree on granting legal status to the Dreamers.

Trump has learned nothing about politics

Going to the border he is. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Take Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck with ya and hand out some soccer balls why dontcha.

That will accomplish about as much as shutting down the government AFTER all your leverage is gone.

Sad!

Former House Freedom Caucus member Mick Mulvaney, now running OMB, finally outed as pro-amnesty

Along with Mike Pence.

Wake up and smell the coffee, people. There was only one Republican in the administration fighting the immigration fight, and Trump fired him. The rest of them have long, explicit histories of being on the wrong side of the issue, along with most everyone in so-called conservative talk radio.

Barry Ritholtz doesn't live in Realville, calls recent wage gains "decent" when they are peanuts

The Economy Is Finally Coming Through for U.S. Workers:

Decent wage gains are showing up in paychecks. That should continue for a while. Workers had an average gain in hourly wages of 3.2 percent in December, well above the average of 2.4 percent during the past five years . . ..

There's nothing wrong with his facts, just his perspective, which isn't long-term. He's content to compare his data to the Obama era, which sucked big-time. Note how he doesn't say that, however, big New York liberal that he is. 

Year over year, the average gain in 2018 isn't even Bush-league let alone Clinton-league. And certainly not pre-Reagan-league, when workers in this country got much bigger raises on average than they do in this supposedly booming economy.

Barry likes charts. Here's the only one that counts, showing that raises for 80% of workers on average can't hold a candle to the late 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s (when Democrats couldn't stop complaining about George W. Bush's horrible economy).

Employers remain stingy, and there is no employment boom, or else they'd be hiring all the old people the greedy bastards fired in 2009 because they made too much money.

I KNOW.

Actually record numbers of us WANT you to leave

Record Numbers of Americans Want to Leave the U.S.:

[M]ost of the recent surge in Americans' desire to migrate has come among groups that typically lean Democratic . . ..
