The wall would mean nothing for the asylum seekers because they want to be caught at the border. One thing that would help the crush on the border would be to hire more judges so that they could process them more quickly. but I don't see the current administration considering that. You might think that they would be readying a bill to change that amendment to the asylum laws but I don't see that happening either.
Sword dance not saber dance. I wonder what is the difference between a sword and a saber. Saber seems somehow more technologically advanced or maybe just a specialized type of sword, Wiki tells us that it is an artillery sword, curved and only sharpened on one side. I'm guessing this would help on the backswing, kind of encircling the neck of your victim. A more extreme version would be the scimitar, even more curved and certainly reeking of camels and date trees. Maybe too curved to safely dance with and that is why they were doing the sword dance with what looked like broadswords, bigger and shinier and easier on soft hands with tiny fingers.
Anyway the Saudis have of late been selling their Palestinian brethren down the river and cozying up to Israel mainly I think because they would like to wipe out Iran.
I was explaining at the Ten Cat the other night that Pompeo only seems like a rational man compared to Bolton, and that Bolton only seems like a rational man compared to Trump, but the now the latter two have switched places and terrifyingly we are now depending on Trump to leash in Bolton who is in full Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran mode. Currently we have the US, Israel, and the Saudis united in the enemy of my enemy is my friend mode.
I don't know where Beagles gets the idea that there is some way that nations are supposed to be to each other. Under the tenet of America First, or Russia First, or China First, you use nations (and they use you) as long as it is of advantage to you, or them. and then you discard them.
Nixon put in the taping system because he wanted to preserve his place in history and probably to be able to use the tapes to coerce people. Johnson and probably other prez's used tapes too so there is no mystery there. It always has been a mystery why he didn't burn the tapes, but from there it does not follow that Doris Day thought up the whole thing as a way of selling South Vietnam down the river. Conspiracy theorists are fond of pouncing on some odd, unlikely event and then using it as evidence of their crackpot theory, when in truth any crackpot theory can go in that place.
Condolences to Old Dog on his mishap. I hope his typing fingers weren't injured.
