I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

They're attempting to kidnap women at townhalls, refusing to prosecute their own domestic abusers, ransacking the treasury, resegregating the military and public sector, erasing history, colluding with foreign powers, suspending the constitution, erasing trans people... And this is the opposition.

GOP messaging also never does this. When the right freaked about the IRS not approving Tea Party groups for nonprofit status, no Republican was out there saying "of course, we agree that the IRS has a role in rooting out scams" - it was just guns-a-blazin' opposition.

Here's a list of available starting pitchers from @fangraphs.com free agent tracker. Maybe Mike Clevinger is the only one willing to sign a minor league deal, and the White Sox needed another SP after losing Ky Bush. And Drew Thorpe's set back. Even then, I still don't get it. Try someone else.

Had Cy Vance chosen to prosecute Ivanka and Don Jr. in 2012 we might not be in this mess. Instead, Vance got a $25,000 campaign donation from Trump's attorney, dropped the charges and, well, here we are.
