Remember when executive overreach was a thing?

Journal by DeathMonkey

Well the good news is that most congresscritters do, and Trump's fake-ass emergency was rejected.

41 Republican Senators and 182 Republican House Representatives, on the other hand, just proved how completely full of crap they are.

    Well, I was leaning toward ignorant Trump supporter and I think I won.

    Here's a little offtopic lesson for the day: Don Quixote.

    Now bear with me, I know he was some kind of Mexican, but he was also batshit crazy.

    When he was out "tilting at windmills" he thought he was FIGHTING DRAGONS.

    So by saying Trump is "tilting at walls" you are implying 2 thing:
        1) Trump is batshit crazy.
        2) Immigration, like dragons, ARE NOT REAL PROBLEMS.

    So I agree with what you actually said, just not what you meant to say.

    I wouldn't know; I wasn't the OP AC. But your assumptions rule the day, right? Like I said, "Ironically, you won't be able to understand this." Way to prove my point.

      Pride in ignorance and stupidity is a dangerous character flaw. You should at least try to hide it. As Dean Wormer put it, "Fat, drunk, stupid and Trump supporting is no way to go through life."

      Cervantes is a bit above the average right-wing nut-job soylentil. But as Fox and Fiends said about Beto O'Rourke, "As if it's a big plus that he reads books [esquire.com]." Yeah, as if.

    That's a verbose way of saying that he was a Democrat, isn't it?

      Tribal nonsense, humorous that you often cry about the tribal tendencies.

        Yes, I suppose it is tribal nonsense. The other big tribe is a different flavor of batshit crazy than yours is. Alas - my tribe is so small that it's batshit crazy is seldom revealed.

          I disagree. You reveal some of your batshit crazy in every post. We've seen far more of your batshit crazy than we'd like.

            You err. Yours, and the other large tribe in this country are so batshit, you are unqualified to evaluate batshit.

            Let's try this one more time. Lefties are so fucking crazy, we have to wonder how in hell they manage to feed themselves. Oh - I slipped up there - RIGHTIES feed the lefties.

            Righties are considerably less batshit - but they definitely are batshit, because they feed the crazies.

            Let's play pretend. Let's pretend that all welfare in this nation ended tomorrow. Corporate welfare, individual welfare, military-industrial welfare, immigrant welfare - it's all done, and government isn't giving money away to ANYONE.

            Who are the survivors? Who dies, and who lives?

    The original AC was claiming that Congress (the part voting to block the emergency declaration) was the party tilting at windmills (" the windmill (wall) will stand" - Trump isn't trying to take down his own wall). But I'm willing to consider them completely wrong since executive branch overreach isn't an imaginary danger unlike Spanish dragons.
