    It's really good.

    Almost as good as the number of megarich who say it's their favourite movie and didn't realise that they're the eponymous Parasite.

    I mean you could have just said you don't like reading subtitles, comrade.

    When he collapses in front of everyone, I'll believe it.
    Although, I'm sure Trump zealots will claim "religious ecstasy" or some shit.

    Homeland security will be foregoing laws so that the wall can be built faster.

    DHS says the move will speed up the contracting process in part by preventing protest litigation -- the way companies can fight to win a federal contract.
    "In a setting where Congress is perhaps less supportive than the administration might have hoped, this is part of the President's larger effort to fulfill his campaign promise to build the wall," Jamil Jaffer, founder and executive director at the National Security Institute, Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, told CNN.
    The waivers would affect 177 miles of border wall projects in four states from California to Texas, where officials have said there are concerns about reports of drug smuggling and illegal entry.
    In a lot of ways, Jaffer said, these provisions are more about speed than money, although money plays a critical role in building a border wall.
    More in the article, but if you have to forego laws to get something done then maybe, just maybe, it should be getting done in the first place.

    Mmmm that’s an awful lot of headspace being occupied by someone who isn’t the front runner.

    Methinks Liz got under his skin with how she banished Bloomberg to the shadow realm on Wednesday night.

    Just to piss off the GOP we should like, turn some of those areas on the border into solar farms and sell surplus energy to Mexico.

    Nope. That's what the media is for.

    No. Seriously. Trump said that. Because he thinks it saves money.
