    gov't officials need to be emotionally and mentally adults, not just physically..How sad:

    The Kennedy Center’s President Trump-appointed leaders say it’s on the verge of bankruptcy, and can only be saved from “fiscal collapse” by putting his name back on the building.

    Political parties are the poison that pits us against each other. Making informed decisions is impossible when bound to mob rule.

    Yup. It's almost an act of political suicide for someone to try to work both sides of the aisle.

    I don’t think you can blame democrats for what’s happening right now. If you don’t see Trump using his office to enrich himself, and making insane decisions that screw over most Americans, then there really isn’t anything anyone can say to you to open your eyes.

    You have willingly chosen to be blissfully ignorant because you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to admit you voted wrong.

    Nuff said.

    Trump clashed with the first architect of his White House ballroom over safety issues.

    )

    • Before he resigned last year: James McCrery II repeatedly warned that Trump was insisting on a design that didn’t provide adequate emergency exits or fire-containment measures.
    • According to people familiar with the clash: Trump brushed off McCrery’s concerns, saying building codes don’t apply to White House construction. “I am the code,” Trump said.

    The rapidly-emerging police-state is concerning to me.

    ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database

    By Maddy Varner and Dhruv Mehrotra

    DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

    This raises a question in my mind, and if I wasn't so lazy, I'd go find out…

    I saw that Tom Homan, the "Border Czar" had similar duties under Obama and had similar deportation numbers back then, even receiving some award/recognition from President Obama. It makes me wonder what sort of methods were used then to find and round up those here illegally. Was the methodology that much different, or are we getting news reports now and more protests because of who Homan is reporting to these days?
