Oh, yeah, there's collusion, lots of collusion...

California is considering if the state can take legal action over the Trump administration's use of tear gas on a group of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border...California has limited jurisdiction, because the federal government has a large authority over border and immigration policies. 

America is signaling the waiter to ask for the check. - Rob Reiner

It evens out, because most climate scientists can't believe Trump is president.- Conan O'Brien

Sarah Spinmeister Sanders Says Climate Change Is Not Based On Facts

One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we’re not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and our water and it’s right now at a record clean. - Donald Trump

Contradicting border chief, Trump claims 3 officers ‘very badly hurt’ by migrants
President Donald Trump, back on the campaign trail for the first time since the midterm elections, made a slew of dubious statements Monday about Central American migrants at the southern border

Some call parents w/kids in caravan, “reckless”. Many of my Cuban friends were sent here alone as kids -to live w/strangers in a foreign land. Castro wouldn’t let adults flee. Others brought kids in rafts. Many died on journey. Loving desperate parents will do desperate things. - Ana Navarro
