    So Schumer and Pelosi are not speaking on behalf of their friends?
    What's the hold up?

    My experience is the city council members tend to be quite corrupt too. Usually they are in bed with real estate developers who want a little help getting their latest project through.

    City zoning laws exist to solicit bribes from developers.

    those council members are card carrying members of densa programmed to steal
    i think it should be required of eligible voters to spend a day in chambers to witness the slow lazy bizarre daily circus
    and if you have business you just get to witness it grind its citizens up because it can

    Apparently Jimmy Kimmel called GoFundMe donors (for the border wall) "dopey, meth addicts" on his show.

    He can say whatever he wants, I suppose.

    Somehow I think if a late night host called a bunch of donors to transgender causes "Mentally ill, _____ addicts" there would be a different reaction.

    If the government does not want to perform one of its few basic duties, people will take matters into their own hands and it's pretty cool that many individuals are willing to put money into it. It's a positive story and sets a good example.

    Kimmel was never funny, so no real loss there.
    Colbert and Mhaer (who is criminally unfunny) have always preferred to be viewed as intellectuals and regardless of party affiliation I cant laugh with someone who thinks they're smarter than everyone else in the room.
    Conan is funny. I never watch his show but when I catch a clip or something he usually makes me laugh.

    agree with most of that
    i liked colbert on the daily show but on the network he's dull and contrived
    maher is obviously a smart guy, but he's a pompous ass
    i like conan too, but kimmel, fallon and seth myers are all meh
    loved carson and letterman because they never dodged a topic and would rip any- and everyone regardless of status or political affiliation
    always hated that nbc lapdog leno

    What basic duties.
    I'm confused here. Are you mad Kimmel of man show and juggies fame said something demeaning of people who gave money to some non gov official to do with it what he wilt?
    Or is if you think it's a basic duty to erect the next great Wall of China or the Berlin Wall.
    Let me know how it worked out for those people.
    And BTW the rank and file Chinese are actually mostly of Mongol mixed ancestry. Cuz walls only work for a season. Eventually the barbarians still get in. No matter how high the gate.

    I said in my post that Jimmy Kimmel can say whatever he wants.
    However, his industry's double standard on "hate speech" carries consequences.

    One of the very few things our government is actually supposed to do is protect the sovereignty of the U.S. There's a contingent on both sides of the aisle who are not prioritizing that duty for political purposes (seemingly, as many of those opposed to approving funding for a physical barrier were not so opposed before D.T. took office...taking them only at their word).

    If you want to make the argument that a wall would not be effective or economically viable, that's an argument I'd listen to. Unfortunately, that debate has never occurred in sincerity. Instead, as usual, it's a moral argument. Those who want border security are "dopey meth addicts".

    Nothing has worked for 30 years. So I'm down to try D.T's way.

    Wall will make it worse.
    Too much private land that cant be walled.
    Private militia will patrol.
    The wall is politics.
    It is there to pull aggro from the mob. I'm using MMORPG terms.
    Trump is the wall tank commander.

    wall in Israel seems to have been pretty effective
    Hadrians wall worked (been there and not much left)
    wasn't a fan of the Berlin wall but it did work
    great wall of China did work and yes Khan eventually broke through w his throngs
    its not a perfect solution but it does work

    Here's anticipated apology. Apparently being the best player on the planet and a philanthropist off the court gives him a right to say anything he wants with little repercussion. Another example if the NFL/slavery analogy.

    Stick to hoops and good works in the community, Bron.

    yeah sure
    he has 40+ million followers but wasn't intending
    might as well have said din do nuffin
    so lame that most of society gets their feet not only held to but IN the fire
    and one group gets a pass based on skin color
    oh pleeeeease don't call me racist
    maybe i was wrong about how smart he is
    all this time i thought he came to LA to make movies or some shit
    and here he is wanting to get involved in something far more lucrative, race baiting
    waiting for the name change
