Err, I doubt the producers are doing much testing themselves.  It's not a matter of intentionally letting tainted food through.

Very odd that Trump thought yesterday that Schumer and Pelosi would agree to fund the wall.

QuoteTrump also continued to express his openness to declaring a national emergency to use the military to construct a border wall without congressional approval.

"If this doesn't work out, I'll probably will do it, maybe definitely," he said.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

Maybe definitely? He plans to keep the country in a permanent state of emergency?

I was watching John Adams last night.  It's pretty depressing watching that miniseries and then comparing those dudes to the pile of dog shit we have in the White House now.

Cryin Chuck told his favorite lie when he used his standard sound bite that I "slammed the table & walked out of the room. He had a temper tantrum." Because I knew he would say that, and after Nancy said no to proper Border Security, I politely said bye-bye and left, no slamming!

British politicians c. 2019 aren't much of an upgrade, sad to say.

QuoteHe then said: "I'll tell you, to me the second most important thing, after love what you do, is to never ever give up... If there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it, but get to the other side of that wall.
