Obama is pretty much black Jesus for the Democrats, and since he’s against Trump, it’s all the better. It’s also a reason that if Obama were to be prosecuted and found guilty, the Democrat party will be in an even greater disaster since the media has been making it seem like he had a “scandal free” presidency.

Luckily, Michelle Obama seems to be doing damage control for the DNC, so any idiotic thing Barack says might be swept under the rug for the time being.

Going back to my “Barack might be a rapist” theory, I would love to see Michelle’s reaction when she finds out her husband grope women.

But on topic, if something like that happens next year to Obama, it’d benefit Trump a lot for 2020 since people would not want to associate the Democrats as they would be know as “The Party of a Rapist.”

so far the only concrete accusation i have heard is "russia influenced the election by using trolls and bots on twitter to spread fake news"
which is really vague, does not even break any laws (as far as i'm aware), and doesn't actually have anything to do with trump.

but hey, some trump campaign worker has talked to some russian dude in a cafe two years ago, and some other dude associated with him even visited the country! in the eyes of the left that's enough 'proof' to get trump impeached, convicted of treason, sent to the electric chair, his entire record of hiring decisions and executive actions retroactively annulled, and hillary instated as acting president. because it's her turn, you know.

Which is a non-story, IMO. The American electorate have a long history of making uninformed decisions based on bad information. Why is getting that info from Russian trolls suddenly one step too far?

Contractors will begin building seven border wall gates today in Cameron County.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection waited until Thursday afternoon to announce that it awarded a contract for construction of the gates to Gideon Contracting, a San Antonio firm, on Oct. 3 – a week before the Department of Homeland Security waived more than two dozen laws to allow for further border wall construction in Texas’ southernmost county.

In a press release, CBP said the contract awarded is in the amount of $3,731,380 for seven gates with an additional option for four gates valued at $1,985,525 – or $519,719 per gate for 11 gates.

On Oct. 10, DHS announced it was waiving laws to fill in 11 gaps in the existing wall built in Cameron County more than a decade ago.

“ The gates will be located off the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) levee at the end of or along existing levee ramps,” CBP said in a press release. “Once installed, the gates will serve as a persistent impediment to smuggling organizations while still allowing river access for property owners, USBP, other local/state/federal officials, and local emergency responders.”

Scott Nicol, co-char of the Sierra Club’s Borderlands Campaign, said the gates will cut the public off from the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Rio Grande.

“ When a gate was installed in Hidalgo County the public was cut off from a section of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge that had drawn birders from all over the country. Gates in Cameron will also cut us off from refuges and the river,” Nicol said. “These gates cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each. The RGV has real needs, like education and health care, that that money could be used to address. It should not be wasted on border walls.”

In addition to the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, the Nature Conservancy’s Lennox Foundation Southmost Preserve – a 1,014-acr preserve complete with active restoration work, research, farm operations and a native plant nursery – will be impacted by the gates.

When the federal government condemned a portion of the preserve in 2009 and built the border fence, 85 percent of its wetlands, grasslands and forests were left behind the wall.

After DHS waived laws that include the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and the National Wildlife Refuge Act, Vanessa Martin, interim director of marketing and communications for the Nature Conservancy, said filling in those gaps will further strain an already sensitive environment and key wildlife corridor.

However, DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen said in the waiver of two dozen laws that more gates and roads in Cameron County are necessary.

“ The United States Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector is an area of high illegal entry. For the last several years, the Rio Grande Valley Sector has seen more apprehensions of illegal aliens than any other sector of the United States Border Patrol (“Border Patrol”),” the waiver states. “For example, in fiscal year 2017 alone, Border Patrol apprehended over 137,000 illegal aliens. In that same year Border Patrol seized approximately 260,000 pounds of marijuana and approximately 1,200 pounds of cocaine.”

Those stats are repeated in CBP’s press release announcing the construction of gates.

While cocaine is typically smuggled through ports of entry, a fact known to the Drug Enforcement Administration and other law enforcement agencies, federal criminal complaints show that areas - where border fencing has stood for a decade - where gates will be built include incidents where authorities arrest undocumented immigrants and make hundred-plus pound marijuana seizures.

Full Article | CBP Press Release

For some reason this story and all of the other related ones to the $145,000,000 contract awarded for a section of the wall in Texas really aren't getting a lot of media attention. There's stories about it here and there, but nothing with much more focus than just a fleeting mention and a tiny article, usually with some dipshit counter-point like this one, which is the reason I'm just jamming this into the TDS thread instead of its own, stand-alone thread.

"We can't build a wall in this town to protect us from drug-smugglers and human traffickers, it'll cut us off from bird watching!" Yeah, well, we're installing fucking gates. Walk through them you goddamned window-licker.

Well George H. W Bush has just passed away so you know what that means.
John McCain's funeral 2.0. Yep a nice solid week or two of an old man's corpse being used as a soapbox to preach against Orange Man.
Although this time Trump will have to be at the funeral to get shit on in person.
I wish I was just being too cynical and jaded about this but it is the Current Year +3 so I just expect that kind of bullshit by default now.

lol CNN suing Trump, how utterly pathetic. While Fox news isn't much better, you didn't see them suing Obama when he shit talked them during his tenure.

It is astounding that Fox News out of all people acted more mature with Obama than CNN is with Trump.

Because Fox News is not half as bad as people make it out to be, not these days.

The current top definition claims the term is a "weapon of the alt right," another definition claims it's something among opponents, yet another claims it's among supporters (the last two are a rewording of eachother), and there's still roughly an equal amount of downvotes and upvotes for each, in the thousands.

I still wonder why Orange Man is so controversial. Even Bush Jr. wasn't this divisive.

Because Trump's complete lack of tact and manners makes them feel emboldened to do and say what they've always wanted to.

Probably because most people you see shrieking about politics these days haven't really been paying attention until 2016 so they think the fact that politics being a shitshow is something new and unprecedented.

Forget innocent or guilty, I've never even heard a consistent accusation on what the "Russian Collusion" actually WAS.

Collusion isn't even a crime, that's the thing. It's like, candidates getting support from foreign governments, companies, or individuals isn't a new thing anymore than it is an illegal thing.

They started an investigation in order to look for a crime.
