A day without stupid?

How long before the border patrol agents leave their job so the can get one that pays? Then the next caravan will be able to walk to LA without any delays

Next time he says he's going to keep the govt closed for a year, Bordeur Patrol will probably hold the gate for them and call an uber...
 
I will personally meet the Caravan on our soil, hand them some gift vouchers for Burger King, teach them to hitchhike, point them east, and teach them to say 'Mar-a-La-go.'

There is no crisis on the Southern Border. None.

And they're lying about it:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fact-check-did-u-s-catch-4-000-terrorists-southern-n954796

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that Customs and Border Protection picked up nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists last year "that came across our southern border."

But in fact, the figure she seems to be citing is based on 2017 data, not 2018, and refers to stops made by Department of Homeland Security across the globe, mainly at airports.

...

According to Justice Department public records and two former counterterrorism officials, no immigrant has been arrested at the southwest border on terrorism charges in recent years.

This morning on Fox "News," Chris Wallace tried to get SHH to stop lying, but she wouldn't:

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-chris-wallace-repeatedly-nails-sarah-sanders-on-bogus-border-terror-threat-claims/

“We know that roughly nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is southern border,” Sanders began, but Wallace cut her off.

“I know the statistic, I didn’t know if you were going to use it, but I studied up on this,” Wallace said. “Do you know what those 4,000 people come where they are captured? Airports.”

“Not always…” Sanders said weakly.

“Airports. The state department says there hasn’t been any terrorists found coming across the southern border,” Wallace said.

Pretty bad day for the President when Chris Wallace debunks the administration's lies right to their face. He knew the lie was coming, and he baked a cake.
 
At today's shutdown meeting, Trump asked if they were going to give him his Wall.
Pelosi said no.
He said, then we have nothing to discuss, and walked.
Commented 'because nothing else works.'
Um,
1) what else has he tried?
2) what's the indication that a temper tantrum works?

Shart of the Deal.

In a personal record of stupidity, but which stems from Trump-worship, my dad told me that it was rich Democrats hiring all the illegal aliens. I'd caught him hard in the trap of how he believes so much in business, that it needs to be supported, but business hires illegal immigrants. So if he didn't like illegal immigrants, then he must be in favor of punishing businesses for hiring them.

After that, he personally insulted me by saying that some day when I have to pay taxes and learn about the world, I'd appreciate what he was talking about. Besides being a non-sequitur, I'm 49 years old. I've been paying taxes for 31+ years now.

His words are the words of a moron. Yet, he was an attorney and a judge for some 40 years. This is the effect Trump has on people--particularly old people. I think it's time to write the old man off as lost and gone.

Don't you know that all people not far right-wing are unemployed and living off the state? One of the oldest talking points of these people.
 
Regarding declaring a national emergency....

I haven't done it yet. I may do it. If this doesn't work out, probably I will do it. I would almost say definitely.

I would almost say definitely. I'm not certain if that has any actual meaning. He is banking contingency words on top of themselves... would and almost. As in, it is very possible Trump could "say" definitely. Verses, he is almost certain he is definitely going to make with a national emergency to deal with his crisis of heart.

Sure. I'm quite familiar with the "argument." But doesn't that preclude rich democrat businessmen from existing in the first place? Well, except for George Soros (make up your own evil Soros playdoh character to fit any narrative!)

I actually understand religious faith more than I do this kind of nonsense. At least gods can't be disproven. At least the fear of death and a search for a way out of it is understandable. Etc.

But this shit? It's crazy.

If he declares a National Emergency, won't he be opening himself up to "Why the fuck did you let 800,000+ people suffer, when you could have pulled this (probably illegal) stunt back in December?"

And that phone call right after he took office, begging the President of Mexico to symbolically pay for it...

There's no metaphor about it:
https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/Pay_for_the_Wall.pdf
It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-
10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year
after year.

Or "Read my lips. No New Taxes!"

Not to be used as a promise not to RAISE taxes, just not to impose any new ones..
 
Or (to be fair):

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
