What's with Ginsberg. Just last week she
issued a glowing health report, and
today she underwent major lung surgery.
It's been rumored for months that
she's been very sick and the disease
had returned. Now we know the rumors
were true.

But No worries, they'll report she's back
to work after the holidays, roller skating
the aisles of the courthouse, chipper
and alert. While her assistants write
her briefs for her and somebody forges
her signature on them.

I don't think this lawsuit is going anywhere
Staying at a hotel, I expect some security
Airbnb to me is a risk. It somebodys home, not a real business
You go cheap and stay at a Airbnb, you are taking a risk
I'm going to Vegas, no way I would stay at a Airbnb
I'll pay the extra, be in a nice SAFE hotel

Predictable. And laughable.

The shutdown is 100% on Trump. He claimed it. He owns it.


So did you put it 100% on Bill Clinton in 1995?

So did you put it on Obama when he was so gleeful to shut it down that there were swarms of workers roping off the National Mall at 12:01 AM?

Are you consistent there?

Did Clinton or Obama “proudly” take ownership of those shutdowns like donald did?

With Obama - the ACA was passed, and then the republicans refused to fund it. An attempt at sabotage when they didn't get their way when the law was passed.
Also, Obama didn't promise that some foreign government or agency was going to pay for the ACA, and then demand funding from Congress.

Additionally, there was a budget with bipartisan support ready to be sent to the white house this week. Blame the Democrats for Trump being unwilling to sign it?

Most Americans want better border security. Most Americans don't want it in the form of a 25 billion dollar wall.

Traveling Salesman Problem, generally thought to NP hard and to require oodles of time for solution with really no way to solve it except by trying all possible solutions has been solved in absolutely record time (for Eight cities) by an Amoeba compute. What is really significant is that as the number of cities are increased and the various options are therefore increased exponentially, the amoeba computer's time required increases linearly, not exponentially.

For those unfamiliar with it you can look at The Bridges of Kooningsberg problem or imagine how to take planes/trains so as to visit each customer in a city once but use the lowest metric of miles traveled.

So what you are saying is most Americans cannot accept the reality that a wall is part of border security?
