I feel like we can finally put the “trump the 4d chess master!” Memes to bed.

For months, people kept thinking he would bring about dumb controversies to distract from negative news stories.

But now that he’s had the first positive news cycle in like a year, he’s out there stepping on his own dick already by trying to run some half-assed victory lap and thinking it had the juice to get Adam Schiff to step down.

I also like how Trump talks about himself in the third person. That's a sign of stability and mental health.

So with all of Trump's recent threats of closing the border. Can he actually do that as President?

kingv · « **Reply #31965 on:** March 30, 2019, 07:56:46 PM »

I think he can close the border... probably completely, at least temporarily and permanently to some extent.

They still might have to legally process asylum seekers or something like that.

I sort of hope he does it because it such a massively dumb idea. Trump has to touch a hot stove to understand that it will burn him.

I would think the executive has unilateral authority on border security, including shutting all border crossings down entirely. That said, I just checked what our cross border traffic is, and in 2017 we had 16,500 northbround crossings daily¹, and that same year we had $340B worth of goods imported and $280B goods exported². There is no way anyone with a functioning brain can look at those numbers and think it is reasonable to "shut the border down". It's ridiculous. Why is this idiot president?

That’s not proper MLA format.

But yeah... one thing with a lot of trumps dumfuckery is that he’s doing it when the economy is pretty good, and oftentimes his cabinet has been able to like tamp down the worst of it, so nobody sees it for the disaster it really is.

Won’t be any hiding the fact that he’s holding up $4 billion in trade every week.

He seems to think that “oh ford can’t bring in their car from Mexico, so they will just make them in Iowa, like they can just do that shit overnight.

I think it's even simpler than that. Sam needs guests with an interesting point of view and able to articulate it. I'm sure Greenwald can do that way better than the choke job that Michael Tracey provided.

Greenwald at least used to break new stories and has some strongly held opinions on civil liberties etc. besides getting wrapped up in petty online bullshit.

Tracey is basically just the petty online bullshit part, especially since he was powerbombed through the Spanish announce table by Maxine Waters.
