Yet, this "clever" guy somehow convinced odious oaf in WH that the things he [mulvaney] said in the past about him and his silly wall, well were in the past, and now--he likes trump; thinks he's just a swell guy. Perhaps it's that adage keep your friends close and your enemies closer b/c as observed, trump does not forgive any slight from anyone. [Imo that is]

Mick Mulvaney, President Trump’s pick to be acting White House chief of staff, described Mr. Trump in 2016 as a “terrible human being” who had said “disgusting and indefensible” things about women on the infamous “Access Hollywood” recording.

NO WAY I can remember all the forked tongue stuff.

They get away with it because of a decades long decline in attention span.

How many people can sit through a Bruckner symphony? Or even the Overture to Candide?

Or anything longer than about 2 seconds.

I live in San Diego at the border and it sure looks like it to me. What is the difference between THEIR steel barrier and the DEM'S wall? I think Pelosi's statement, "... next it will be a beaded curtain" was perfect.

It’s not a wall, it’s a steel barrier, therefore, your previous objections to a wall are no longer valid.

I'm living in a Republican head-honcho enclave. Powerful enough to "persuade" more than a few Democratic local leaders to join their overreaches. Just never expected to see this kind of behavior so blatantly displayed at a federal level.

Trump's way of thinking is very much in line with what I've witnessed from living near a Country Club. I was writing about property line incursions and that naturally flowed into the full story of fraud and conspiracy that took place in my community. Response No. 3 in this thread if you're interested.
