His performance featuring political stunts like dramatic meet with the dems in the situation room about the border wall. That was just in the last hour. It followed an obstinant 90plus minute preview in the cabinet room that showed a stunning unwillingness to compromise on the wall. Even by trumpian standards. The 5 billion, 5. 6 billion approved by the house is sump a small amount compared to the level of the problem. When they say the wall is immoral, then you got to do something about the vatican because the vatican has the biggest wall of them all. They work 100 . Its never going to change. A wall is a wall. How long is the government going to stay partially shut down . Could be a long time. Could be quickly.

This new era of divided government comes as we head into what will be day 13 of the partial government shutdown, affecting nearly 800,000 government workers. Today the Senate Chaplain offered a prayer to end the stalemate. Rise mercifully upon our darkened hearts and deliver us from the trench warfare of yet another government shutdown.

Racist photo from his medical School Yearbook in 1984. The photo shows one person in black face and the other in a ku klux klan robe. Northam is taking responsibility for the photo but didnt specify whether hes the guy in black face or wearing kkk garb. So far northam has apologized but said he will remain in office. Calls for his resignation are coming from all corners, not just republicans but longtime allies like his predecessor terry mcauliffe, state house and Senate Democrats and the legislative black caucus. Several 2020 democratic hopefuls tweeted calls for northam to resign. If northam does step down Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax would become governor. This racist photo was placed in a medical School Yearbook not a high School Yearbook in 1984, the year that Jesse Jackson first ran for president.
