    Clearly, wrong on both counts. You introduce flawed, outdated information into a discussion that has absolutely nothing to do with your ridiculous claims.

    You appear to be confused.

    There is no border crisis.

    You have to pretend there is one because otherwise, you'd have to admit Trump conned you into thinking there was one.

    We know that a Conservative admitting they got fooled isn't something their egos will allow.

    Conservatives all think they have the best judgment, instincts, morals, and character.

    SPOILER ALERT: They don't.

    Well, it appears that Althea is wrong. President Trump was a multi-billionaire BEFORE (1988) he became president.

    How quaint.
    LMAO! Poor Earl. A few years later, he was a pauper with no American bank that would loan him a nickel. So it's more accurate to say that he squandered more than a billion of his daddy's money before he became a politician.

    If he had taken the money from his trust fund, and simply put it into an S&P ETF, he'd be rather wealthy today. More so than he actually claims to have.

    But he's too incompetent. He might be the only fool to lose money on casinos.

    More to come.

    None of that has been built...and my guess is that none of it will ever be built.

    What is your guess, Earl?
    His guess is that in 1988, there was some fencing built on the Southern border.

    It's become a fascination now. We can only wonder how much damage he can do before his ass is kicked out of the White House.

    He/Bannon promised to destroy the nation. They aren't quite there yet, but it's a good start.

    The 5.7 billion passed the House, but failed to garner enough democrat support in the Senate to meet the 60 vote threshold.

    Being in Md., I'm not going to complain about 'cold" to a New Yorker, lol. :0)

    Can you explain why those repubs were willing to "put the security of the American people at risk", since the GOP is supposed to be the only party that cares about national security.

    Also, some Dems were willing to go along with the wall in exchange for getting a path to citizenship for the DREAMERS.

    Now that trump will try to do an end run around Congress to get wall money, is a path to citizenship for DREAMERS still on the table?

    Everything you write has to be checked for factual accuracy, sorry about that.

    I voted for DJT because he is an outsider, third party candidate.



    Fact Check: The "repub" House passed 5.7 billion in funding for the wall.

    Fact Check: The democrats don't give a fuck about the Dreamers, now.

    They didn't care about that. They were too busy trying to take healthcare away from millions of people, and creating huge budget deficits via tax giveaways to billionaires/corporations.

    Now it's an emergency?

    Edit...if you remember, trump had about $40 billion in his pocket, but backed off at the last minute in denial of DACA.
