    He closed the freaking border between San Diego and Tijuana. He is trying to start a freaking war. He is such a dangerous imbecile.

    That is a huge crossing for legal immigration and it is now closed. 

    They have helicopters and threw flash bangs and smoke grenades from the US side. 

    This is extremely disturbing. 
    Just the distraction his base needs.

    Can we have the UN intervene yet?  They should have stepped in after the last election.
    They've already cited him in contempt of UN rules - this is a blatant refusal to comply with any existing treaties, agreements, laws. How does he get away with so much crap. Because there is always so much crap, which do you pick. Ahh.. :anguished:

    It’s a test to see whether they can get away with it.  They can.  From the cages, to the gas, to whatever step is next on the way to authoritarianism.

    It's so fucked up...They had plenty of time to prepare for this and process these people in an orderly fashion.  tRump wants a fight to break out.  He needs this to try and make his original argument look legit.

    Car companies dealing with the realities that their market is changing big yet again. And interestingly enough it’s away from sedans and to trucks and SUVs AND to electric and self driving cars.

    From the article...GM may be cutting its capital expenditure by $4.5 billion, she said, but it will still invest in its core products such as pickups, SUVs and “some cars” where it has already redesigned the architecture for those products.

    My fault, misread.  Around where I live at least 1/2 the vehicles that are on the road are trucks and SUV's.

    Former U.S. Border Patrol deputy chief Ron Colburn early Monday defended the use of pepper spray to deter migrants attempting to enter the U.S. at the Mexican border, saying it is "natural" and "you could actually put it on your nachos and eat it."

    Seriously, if you're still defending this piece of GARBAGE, there's really something wrong with you.

    Remember when Russia was the enemy 
    Immigrants of all colors, faiths, and nationalities were welcome.
    And the president was a respected  American who behaved like an adult, mature, and presidential.

    Trump has now created a tweet alluding to State News.  Another test that he's going to pass.  Authoritarianism, here we come.

    Can you quote the tweet please? I don't really get what you mean without that... he's going to pass what test?
    But yeah, he TOTALLY wants state-run news media, all the way. He's already halfway there, and hardly anyone even seems to care.
