Didja send your five dollars yet?
We’ve already discussed his shortcomings. You must have ignored it.
And it’s not complaints. It’s mockery.
Do you feel the need to debate with Flat Earthers?
It’s kind of like that.
And, as usual, your guess would be wrong.
I’d say this subthread of commentary is about 30% serious, 70% mock.
That was some low-energy shit. What the fuck - all this sturm and drang culminating in Mr Sniffles whining for 10 minutes about border security and claiming, bizarrely, that the Dems negotiated him into steel slats? That’s it?
Why are we talking about his genitals, HD? Because his speech was a big nothing. Didn’t help his cause, hurt it even by his lack of enthusiasm for the subject and the blundering way in which we got here.
The fact that it’s a Constitutionally-protected right makes it a bit different than immigration policy.
Trump apparently made off-the-record comments to some news folks that he really didn’t want to make this speech, and really doesn’t want to go visit the border, but is only doing it because his advisers have told him it’s a good idea. From a NYT article this evening:
Oh don’t worry, the next Democratic president will be certain to declare a national emergency before he takes all the guns. It will be all nice and legal.
On the bright side, the networks won’t fall for it again. He took his big shot, wasted their (and our) time, interrupted regularly-scheduled programming and accomplished nothing.
It was such an obvious abuse of his office he should be ashamed down to his tiny tadger. He won’t be, of course. But he should.
a few weeks ago Trump removed sanctions on a steel producer owned mostly by a Russian oligarch. Around that time he decided that the wall would be made of steel slats rather than concrete. One of those 400 coincidences where his policy changes are in line with Russian interests purely by chance I’m sure.
I like that they highlighted and zoomed in on the spikes, just to make sure everyone knew it was hurty enough.
I like to imagine drug smugglers coming to the border and slipping packages of heroin through the slats to their compatriots on the other side.
Hamsters have HUGE testicles in comparison to their body size. Fact check!
Each slat will be on a pivot and will have a sensor and a motor. Anyone approaches too close, the slats will swing shut like a Venetian blind.
Why does it matter? These people are not supposed to be here. Those numbers should be zero. Those numbers represent American victims of crime that would otherwise be safe from crime if the borders were secure.
Pfffft. It’s Shep Smith, their token sane person. No true Foxite will pay any attention to him.
They could improve the functionality and aesthetics of the barrier by having colour coded mail slots built in to ensure the transaction was secure. Wouldn’t want the packages to fall into the hands of the wrong distribution channel.
You’ll be pleased to know that killing someone with a gun (or otherwise) is illegal in every state and those laws are enforced.
Illegal immigration is illegal, yet is not being enforced because of sanctuary cities and the lack of border security, so we need to address that.
But seriously, though, WTF do gun control arguments have to do with the immigration debate?
Luckily, my wife and I continued watching our binge of E.R. on Hulu. It was the season 4 finale tonight! Really good stuff, although arguably the weakest finale of all the seasons thus far.
At 9:03, I asked my wife if we should cut over to a live feed of Orangeanus, and she said “There’s a methadone-addicted baby’s life on the line here, and Doug Ross’ career may be too. The answer is no.”
Sanctuary cities do not stop ICE from coming in and deporting a illegal, what they do is say that the local Police won’t assist ICE unless that person is a felon.
Which I find completely reasonable. Illegal immigration is a very low level crime, and virtually nothing should be spent on arresting people already in- as long as violent crimes continue to plague this nation.
I wonder why they continue to employ him? I mean, throw off those shackles of truth and go full-on Glavlit! (Wiki)
