Because they have oil. Oil is still valuable.
I was watching Marco Rubio and other Republicans talking about keeping Venezuela democratic and talking about protecting voting rights and having a government that works for the people.

I was watching an interview with Mayor Faulconer of San Diego.
He said the border to Mexico was shut down once for six hours and it cost the city 5 million dollars.

Are Republicans unfairly treating Steve King as a sacrificial lamb?
King is been a racist for 16 years. Everybody knew it. Suddenly out of the blue Republicans are treating him as a pariah. Why?
He must be so hurt wondering what changed.
So what changed? After all Republicans are still...

Where does our anti-missile and new military technology come from?
I’m watching Trump on TV giving a news conference and talking about money for military innovation.
So where does that innovation come from?
Sure, it’s paid for by taxpayers. But paid to whom?
Some years ago I went to NASA...
Remember how Donald Trump used to go on endlessly about what a fine person Paul Manafort is?
I don’t remember hearing that for the last few days.
Anyone else?
Remember, at the beginning, Trump said the same things about Michael Cohen.
What is he saying now?
What happens when Paul...

Ocasio-Cortez doubles down on accusation that Trump is racist

This was the 2018 Map:
Notice how many Blue States were up for re election? And with Democrats having nearly triple the number of seats up, Republicans only won a meager two more than they had.

Trump blames child border deaths on Democrats
Rich coming from the leader of a party that uses sick and disabled children to score political points:
And Republicans passed Kavanaugh with a one person majority.
Republicans control the entire government.
How can it be Democrats fault?
Hilarious! Republicans are having a bad day in so many ways.
I’m walking around chuckling again and again at the day the Republicans are having.
First they have to defend a president who went overseas and lied to our soldiers.
Then they have to explain why the president went overseas to...
Corker,
Flake,
seems only Republicans who are retiring will criticize Trump.
Why is that?
Why bother?
Are they trying to be on the right side of history?
We all know a wall is, well, a "wall".
It didn't work for China. And they spent a thousand years building it.
It can be easily defeated by a tunnel or a ladder.
We know the money to build the wall would be better spent on border agents and surveillance equipment. It would not only be...

The midterms proved that Republicans are trying to destroy our democracy.
So what are they doing exactly? Look at Wisconsin. The top five state posts were won by Democrats.
So what is the Republican lame duck legislature do? They are passing bills to decimate the power of the top five posts...
Donald Trump brought the press into a meeting where he thought he was going to run over Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. But no matter how much a liar tries, he can’t beat people telling the truth. Not in the long run.
So if Donald Trump was easily manhandled by Nancy Pelosi, I can only...

Today was the Republicans last gasp on Hillary Clinton’s server

Perspective | Trump could’ve ruined Bush’s funeral. Bush didn’t let him.

By insisting on his successor’s inclusion in the proceedings, Bush forced the...
Tucker Carlson says Trump is ‘not capable’ and hasn’t kept his promises
Is Fox turning on Trump?
Why not, everyone else does.
What does this mean in the long run?
Trump is not interested in the budget deficit and the burgeoning government debt because he won't be in office when it blows up.
The biggest threat to government debt is rising interest rates which could make the debt self-fueling and unstoppable.
Trump ignorance of the government debt is...
