    Like hell!

    I'm into craft coffee too.
    Check this:
    https://www.sweetmarias.com/green-coffee.html

    Sweet Maria's coffees in Oakland.

    They sell "green beans".
    Un-roasted coffee.

    A basic roaster is about the cost of 2 boxes of factory loads of 375 H&H and will last you a lot longer.

    Bestest part:
    Great green unroasted beans are $7-8 bucks a pound.
    Half the price of the so-so Starbucks stuff.

    Craft beer? Not under my roof presently.
    Right now got 15 lbs of Costco honey fermenting to mead.
    14.4% alcohol at last check. Time to bottle. I needs long months of aging.
    Mighty proud of my little yeast compadres right now!!!
    I ain't real picky about my coffee. As long as it is hot and black. If you add anything, besides MAYBE a tiny pit of chickory, it better be more black.
    And don't even think about washing my damn cup.

    Agreed! Black, dark and rich. I bought a thermos cup in 2012 and have only wash the outside occasionally.

    Presidents used the law many times and some of the emergencies (28) are still in effect. The U.S Supreme court in 1983 struck down legislative vetos. For a Congressional act to be approved it must be presented to the President for a signature or he can veto it. The House did not get enough votes to be veto proof. Even if it passes by one or two votes in the Senate it is not veto-proof. The suits will eventually be overturned. The wall building will begin since Congress did give him some money. He can tell Pelosi to come hold his beer while he starts building the wall.

    I agree with most of this. The Dems will Judge shop it so it goes to the 9th court of appeals . a TRO might placed on wall building. It will have to go to the supremes.

    Lou Dobbs was giving GOP congressman Gaetz (sp?) hell about the border tonight.
    Nothing but stuttering in response ...

    Terrible ambivalence.

    I want the wall. I think it's needed.

    I don't like that the Dem's won't give Trump the money.

    I hate that Trump is manufacturing an emergency when there is none.

    I want the federal money moved from lesser projects to the wall.

    I fear a future Dem president declaring gun availability an emergency.


    What, oh what, should I pray for tonight?


    And......oh......look. My timer on my coffee bean roaster is alarming.

    Well I heard somewhere that 76k wets came over in Februrary.

    Well.
    I never said we have no problem.

    February crossing apprehensions? It was less than an average month in 1984. Or 2004. Or 2014.

    Problem, yes.
    Emergency?
    No.

    Trump's manufactured emergency.
    Fortifying his nads and little more.

    So, so much political mediated hyperbole.

    BTW

    "Wets" is unneccessarily offensive and insolent.

    The slur undermines your credibility as one who wishes to opine with a respectable presence.
    Only offensive to a bunch of simpletons and bigots that have chosen to be morally outraged and sef lf-righteous for a group of people because they are not offended themselves. Most of them don't care what you call them. Many call themselves "wetbacks".
    But it really doesn't matter what you call them, what they are is the same either way. Their effect is the same on this country.
    The emergency concerning the problem has been there for decades. And yes, the current numbers may be down recently. What about the millions already here?
    Given the state of of welfare and the overall finacial drain they put on this Country, not to mention the political, social and legal problems because of it, it has become an emergency that steps be taken to correct the problem.
    That, or you can kiss this country as well as your as your warm fuzzy fantasy world good-bye.

    Naw. Instead, you are worried about the feelings of people that have no right to be here. While yor head is busy with that, they are sending the wealth of this country home to their country. And laughing all the way to the bank. Because in 10-20 years they will go home and retire rich people there. While or country goes to shit because people like you were more concerned about them than than your own Country.

    Yeah, you go ahead and tell us how insolent and offensive we are. I'll take that over ignorant and self righteous any time.

    .

    You keep saying this as if they wouldn't have done this given the right conditions in the future. The only reason the Left keeps repeating it is in hopes of peeling away support from Trump's base. It's not a valid concern.

    Do you actually believe that in a future administration under a Dem President, they would somehow draw the line at accomplishing their goals at what Trump does now?
