At least the Democrats shut down the government for over a month and got absolutely nothing in return

And that was never a good label to begin with. We should have and should now call them white nationalists, which is actually what they are.

Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

every time Argentineans post their little crybully rants about the Falklands it's a reminder of the mentality that resulted in their incompetent fascist junta getting hundreds of their own conscript soldiers killed in an unprovoked invasion.
