“I would never dishonor the memory of a great American patriot like Senator (John) McCain. I'd never disrespect the young men and women who crew that ship,"

What in the Mueller Report is so damning?

If it is so damning, why didn't Mueller recommend indictment?

Since , according to the justice dept rule, DOJ cannot prosecute the sitting President Mueller Report has punted the question and forwarded it to Congress.

Mueller noted that his team indicted more than two dozen Russians in connection with their alleged roles in hacking Democratic networks and accounts and with trying to interfere in the campaign via social media.

Mueller noted that his team indicted more than two dozen Russians in connection with their alleged roles in hacking Democratic networks and accounts and with trying to interfere in the campaign via social media. But instead of saying that there was “no collusion” by the Trump team with that effort — a term that the report itself explicitly rejected in its consideration of what happened — Mueller explained what his investigators found in more nuanced terms.

Funny though, the Peso dropped about 3% in value today (it'll probably drop the other 2% by the 10th), so the prices the US pays will be about the same. It is the Mexican workers who get paid less via the depreciated Peso.

If the peso drops in value to the US dollar doesn't that just provide more incentive to cross the border? Not to mention making the money remitted back to Mexico more valuable?

Like I said, once tariffs are lifted the border will be just as insecure and there won't be any lasting changes to immigration policies. I know you'd like to believe different but that doesn't mean it will be.
