ONE murder by an illegal is too many. ONE.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting fireworks since Pompeo had indicated it would surprise people or something didn't he? But it was a great speech, common sense, facts, he was very Presidential. I wonder what opposition media are saying.

Miller probably wrote it with Jared. It sounded somewhat high-schoolish.

Schumer's response should have been the same as Steve Schmidt's -

"Where are the Pesos? Show me the Pesos!

Every time he stays on the script he has that. I wonder what he takes.

Maybe, because I have it on. That said, I've and others have said a lot of that on City-Data before without being a "CNN viewing NPC." Hell, one of Trump's points that I had scratching my head was a previous City-Data thread about why are Democrats against the wall when he have walls around their houses.

Ditto.

I did like how P&S emphasized the need to separate the shutdown from the border security discussion. I wish they’d have included more data about how drugs are really coming into the country. I’d have preferred more numbers/data.

I wouldn't trust a Democrat for anything after I saw what they did during the Kavanaugh hearings. It was clear the lengths to which they would go then.
