    You nailed it.
    The only people making fools of themselves yesterday were malcontent lefties.
    I feel sorry for them.

    Non citizens are used to gain representatives and delegates in presidential elections. I don't see how anyone can say that is OK.

    OH, please don't feel sorry for them. They watch Trump as he compromises our Democracy and it is worrisome to them.

    That is correct.

    That's right, too. The question of an E.O. came from Trump after the Court's decision.

    No, the Court said it was "contrived." Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote, "Accepting contrived reasons would defeat the purpose of the enterprise." That is a scalding rebuke of the Trump administration. "Contrived" is judicial code for lying.

    See post 131 where Trump shot himself in the foot and destroyed his own case.

    It is not ok for Trump to use the census to hunt down non-citizens and toss 'em and that is his hidden intention.

    I don't know what his hidden agenda is. Apparently you are some kind of mind reader. What is wrong is to count them as citizens for representation for our country.

    Not a mind reader. The court said that Trump has an ulterior motive and you don't have to be a genius to figure what it is.

    Obamanomics resulted in the worst recovery since the GD.

    No sign of a crash. Why do you think one is imminent ??

    What court is that ??

    The motivation is to ensure representation based on the population distribution of US citizens.

    The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is entertaining the idea of a deal with North Korea that includes a “freeze” in its nuclear program, rather than the complete and total denuclearization the administration has demanded.

    In other words, according to this idea, North Korea would be allowed to keep its existing nuclear weapons and there is no mention of ballistic missiles.

    The White House is completely stonewalling the diplomatic shift. It has not said a thing. After his best imitation of Neville Chamberlain, Trump hasn't tweeted or said a thing about the idea. In fact, since his return from North Korea, Trump hasn't said or tweeted anything about NK or Kim.

    Various issues regarding Iran and her expansion of uranium enrichment is also being left for another day.

    Of course, Trump was busy with his July Fourth production in which he was the master of ceremonies. After that, he promptly went on vacation ... again.

    From that viewpoint, Trump's silence on vital foreign relations issues is understandable.

    When have we ever only counted citizens for representation in this country?

    I'm not the one who wears a vagina costume in a form of protest against the president. Those are your people, not mine.

    In other words, you are guessing.

    Once, 70 years ago, 1950.

    This is interesting. Posts 119, 123, 131, 136, and 161 are all critical of Trump and they deal with important issues facing us today. With one exception, Trump's fans completely ignored what was said. Each was incapable of defending Trump.

    They are loyal to Trump, but they have no idea why. What a disastrous Presidency. Neither the President nor his supporters know what the hell is going on. We cannot allow this to happen again.

    Why does that make a difference? One of the primary reasons for knowing the number of residents is to determine how many delegates they get for elections and how the districts are arranged. The illegals should not influence that. In a district with a high proportion of illegals, the residents vote counts for more than a district with a low number of illegals.

    I'm not.

    Trump shot himself in the foot.

    Holding his usual news conference on south lawn of the White House with the usual background noise from the usual Marine One forcing everyone to shout, Trump said you need the census citizenship question “for many reasons.”

    “Number one, you need it for Congress — you need it for Congress for districting,” Big Mouth said Friday. “You need it for appropriations — where are the funds going? How many people are there? Are they citizens? Are they not citizens? You need it for many reasons.”

    Take note of that first one. The redistricting rationale was not used by government's case for good reason. Redistricting was the main reason the Supreme Court shot down the government's case. The plaintiffs in the case argued that this is a thinly veiled attempt by Republicans to gain a potential game-changing tool in redistricting.

    Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote, "Accepting contrived reasons would defeat the purpose of the enterprise." "Contrived" is judicial code for lying. The true purpose was redistricting for GOP benefit, and the Trump administration lied in its brief.

    Mouth admitted it at his news conference.

    That’s the thought process which is going on with many of the left.

    From where I'm sitting, it's the "Never Trumpers" who have a real problem with "reality." President Trump doesn't have fans. He has Patriots. Those of us who value this nation, and are willing to protect it.

    Ready and willing to feel a little "uncomfortable". A lttle "triggered"... We don't need "Safe Spaces".

    WTF is wrong with you people, who deem the (supposedly) "disenfranchised", the "downtrodden" more worthy than the fc'n people who gave EVERYTHING to ensure our great nation remains FREE, safe and strong?

    My son, Matthew, did tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Quatar. and I am a proud military momma!

    Those of you who who continue to live in the deluded spaces of TDS have a lot to learn about Life, Love, Loyalty.

    Who is "we"? You may get a chance in 2024, but you may as well skip the election in 2020.

    You have no idea who my people are, and those people aren't holding one of the most powerful positions in the world. The Snowflake Princess is.

    The "snowflake princess" is presiding over the largest economic expansion than in any other country. His policies are working and benefiting the american people.

    And anyone with a even a fleeting knowledge of economics and the ability to read a graph knows he isn't responsible for it and is just the rooster taking credit for the sunrise. Every major economic indicator has been riding on the same upward trend beginning in 2010. The only people crediting Trump are those who haven't done their homework, those who don't care about the facts (which includes Trump himself, who prefers feelings), and those who think Trump has magic time travel powers.

    Which is true.
    Which is true.
    Where did the SC say that? You are assuming. By the way, contrived does not mean lying.
