Trump speech live 01/08/2019: follow-along thread.

You’ve already admitted that you don’t care if they light it on fire because $5.7B is such a small amount of money in the grand scheme of things. So why should anyone bother answering you? (Sorry, you admitted that you don’t care if they use this money to build useless barrier in useless places).

I don’t care if you “answer” or not. I wasn’t asking you a question, I was pointing out a factually false claim. I’ve done that to my satisfaction, and I don’t require an “answer” on the matter.

I know, right? You wouldn’t want to, you know, have empathy for your fellow humans, right?

Okay, but you’re wrong.

Yes, you “proved” that the money probably won’t go towards a literal $5.7B backscratcher. What a valuable contribution to the site. I’m sure many lurkers were confused as to why Trump had such an itchy back, but you really cleared that up for them.

LOL, you quoted people incapable of telling the truth, and called it “proof”.

See post #265.

Yeah, reasoning doesn’t work that way. Your own satisfaction is no standard by which to judge whether something’s true or not.

Fox affiliate editor fired for altered video of Trump’s speech.

I agree it’s been altered, he looks way too normal.

:smiley:

This isn’t an appropriate place to take shots at another poster. Cease doing so.

Do not threadshit.

What do you think? You still don’t know if the $5.7B is for “construction of a steel barrier on the Southern Border to fund 234 miles of new physical barrier” or if it might be for an Oval Office backscratcher? You think “What is that $5.7Billion actually for?” is still a serious question at this point?

By stealth? Don’t recall the events, so there was no publicity, he met with them dozens of times in secret? Maybe he met with dozens of such families one time? Threw them some paper towels? Did the liberal media suppress these events?

Know what? I think this is a big fat lie. I await rebuttal “with the calm confidence of a Methodist with four aces”.

I think there’s no plan. There are statements, promises, and wishes, but no plan. “I’m gonna build a wall thats 234 miles long” is not a plan any more than “I want a really nice house” is a blueprint.

Well, somebody needs an engineering schematic to know whether it will be an effective barrier, or whether it’s a POS.

Is there one?

Of course there is. Believe me. No one knows more about engineering schematics than Trump!

Lindsey Graham wants Trump to do the same kind of thing he said Obama should not do.

Trump's National Emergency Is an American Obscenity

Pretty much par for the course in DC.

I mean, it’s always been perfectly obvious what it’s for - “so Trump can get a fight”. If you trust Trump, you will obviously come up with the wrong answer, but that’s fine, we’ll keep reminding you that you’re wrong.

So, the President is:

  1. Proposing an out-of-nowhere emergency declaration, as to…
  2. Seize private lands via the…
  3. Military

This is exactly what they told themselves for 8 years Obama would do. Hell, even the idiotic Governor of Texas fell for this shit.

Surely you mean “Duncegeld”?

Not to mention, it’s total banana-republic stuff.

We used to be half kidding when we referred to those in a certain party as Banana Republicans. Now that’s what they are, end of story.
