    When Trump & Pence say Make America Great Again they mean Make America White Again.

    the buffoon's definition of an emergency is equivalent to clinton's definition of sex.
    the mother fucking buffoon really wants to be a dictator.

    Those Trump bankruptcies are starting to make sense

    excerpts:

    "As a businessman, Donald Trump ran casino companies that spiraled into bankruptcy four different times. Yet he persuaded voters in 2016 that he’s a savvy businessman who would run the government with a new kind of efficiency.

    He hasn’t. The carnival barker in Trump is omnipresent: Everything he touches is always going great, while his critics and opponents are indolent and stupid. But in terms of results, Trump is running the government like a misfit CEO who can’t explain why losses keep mounting and the stock keeps tanking. Under his watch, Uncle Sam is starting to look like General Electric.

    Trump is now presiding over a needless government shutdown because Congressional Democrats refuse to appropriate funding for his beloved border wall.


    He hires terrible people who don’t last.

    He has no regard for consequences. .

    He’s a weak negotiator"

    Trump's hostage list has become lengthy.


    Trump holds DACA people hostage by ending DACA to try to coerce U.S. taxpayers to pay for his wall.

    Most countries of the world and U.S. farmers are held hostage due to his tariffs based on a fictitious national security ploy.

    Wildfire victims in California are held hostage by cutting off FEMA funds.

    Because he saw it as an upstaging of his perceived infinite ego and authority. Trump has held Harley-Davidson hostage by threatening it with extra taxes because it announced it would move some operations overseas to avoid retaliatory tariffs precipitated from the Trump-initiated trade war, which is what any sensible business would do.

    Palestinians are held hostage by cutting off U.S. civilian aid to coerce them into giving Israel everything it wants when it has already gotten just about everything it wants including a new U.S. embassy in Jersalem.

    Central American countries are held hostage by Trump issuing threats to cut off U.S. aid.

    Women worldwide are held hostage by Trump cutting off U.S. funded programs if women are informed about abortion options.

    Trump without justification doubled steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey to coerce it to giving him what he wants, as if steel production in Turkey was twice the risk to U.S. national security as other countries.

    Trump's favorite lawyers -who are paid by the tax payers- are saying they are going to re-write Mueller's report and make corrections before releasing it to the American people. Are there any experts on Obstruction in the house?

    Giuliani's approach doesn't even require editing the Mueller findings. Giuliani simply claims that the crimes aren't really crimes, which is really bizarre coming from the mouth of a former prosecutor.

    17 lawyers bumping dickheads over Mr Blump? That'll be a clusterfuck. I don't think the report CAN be kept secret--there are too many folks that want--and NEED it released, so that the American people can see just who and what they've put in office.

    Moreover, Giuliani (Trump's Former Male Escort) seems to be A-OK with Obstruction of Justice during the operation where Trump's new 17 lawyers re-write Mueller's report.

    I'm bothered by Pelosi's characterization of the wall as immoral. That paints her into a corner, since it's immoral to compromise on moral issues. And of course there's nothing inherently immoral about building a wall if it's necessary to protect our national border. Stupid, yes. Immoral, no. A nation has a right to control immigration, to prevent it from being overwhelmed by unmanageable population influxes. Taking hundreds if thousands of federal workers hostage for the wall which they have nothing to do with is immoral, and negotiating with hostage takers before the hostages are released may be unwise, because it may encourage more extortion in the future. But the wall per se is just a costly boondoggle. If she keeps this up, she'll make the Democrats seem as unreasonable as the Republicans, which would be going some. The problem with the wall is that it isn't cost-effective. The steel slatted fence Trump is now calling a wall can be breached by anyone with a saw that can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot.

    Mexico is going to pay for it. We'll call you when the check is here.

    I agree Okie. A lot of the problem would be solved if Trump would let border agents process immigrants who do come to the proper port of entry. He has been ordering the border guards to turn ALL OF THEM AWAY.

    If the shutdown lasts two more weeks, the cost to the economy will exceed price of Trump's wall

    “We estimated that this shutdown could shave approximately $1.2 billion off real GDP in the quarter for each week that part of the government is closed. That may seem like pennies for the world’s biggest economy, but it means a lot to those workers trying to cover their household costs without their paychecks,” Beth Ann Bovino, S&P’s chief U.S. economist, said in a note on Friday.

    The 5 billion is less than 1/10th of 1 percent of the budget. It’s not about money, it’s about preventing the president from doing what he was elected to do. They say a wall won’t work. Prove it by building it. That would end the debate, no?

    The President was elected to be the Chief Executive, with power to make law in conjunction with Congress. He was not elected dictator, and he was elected by less than a majority of the electorate--almost 2.9 million votes (65,844,954, or 48.2% to his 62,979,879, or46.1%). Hardly a mandate. Many people who voted for him were voting against Clinton, or voting for other issues he supported, so we can't assume a mandate for the wall. I hope we're not at the point of pursuing multi-billion dollar boondoggles to prove they won't work.

    Preventing Trump from doing what he wants is crucial to democracy. He is an elected offcial not a king. That is what the country is founded on. So if people disagree they must do something about it. It's a privilege the Republicans used with Clinton and Obama. Trump is dangerous and stupid.

    The ideas of the second amendment apply to many areas of the goverment. One must be ready to protect America from an invader. There is a way of life that will be preserved.

    If you build the wall you have already wasted time, resources, and destroyed irreplaceable natural landscapes. The real crisis are better served with this time and money. People are addicted to heroin and they die in mass shootings. Your risk of death from these two things are higher than some Mexican shooting you.

    It's a foolish move to let fear and racism overcome you. The wall will not work. When I was a kid long before Trump the right wing said we need a wall. It's old school hate and ignorance.

    He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
    Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
    If I could put a notion in his head:
    "Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
    Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
    Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
    What I was walling in or walling out,
    And to whom I was like to give offence
