      Democrat lawmakers should be parading pictures and models of this ballroom around to town halls and meetings with their constituency. Literally, right now, every single Dem congressman and congresswoman needs to be capitalizing on this shutdown and extravagant vanity project for the spectacle it is.

      THIS is the exact kind of thing that you can fashion a vicious, political narrative from. If we lived in a sane, just world we would see every Democrat in Washington touring the country right now, working through the shutdown to show voters what’s being done with their money.

      Somehow I think Israel wouldn’t approve so they don’t have permission.

    They’re the best States. Nobody sues like these States. They’ve got the best lawyers, and it’s going to be a great case. A case like you would not believe. In fact I think the courts should just give up right now and let these States win the case. Everyone’s saying the judge should just decide the case, let them win, and walk away. That’s how good these States are.
