After two years of you righties ignoring all the hypocrisy of the GOP and Donald, this is cute. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

That's not a response. The video points out graphically that the welfare of the country is not what Chucky and Nance care about, it's not letting Trump get what he needs. If these people were in a private corp, they would be fired immediately. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I didn’t watch the video. You posted it, why would I? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Their side is desperate to sell the argument that being against Trump's wall (along the entire border) is being against stronger border security. They are also desperate to forget the second part of the campaign promise "and Mexico will pay for it". Trump is also desperate to forget it - today he denied saying it, or meaning it, or whatever the heck he was trying to say. “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.” Words matter.

Nobody cares. Obama made 40 campaign promises, kept 12, made a deal on 11, completely broke 17. Did the press or anybody have hissy fit about that? If Trump builds the wall, that's enough, that's 90% of the promise. This boom economy he created can pay for it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/obama-promises/?noredirect=on The media can't argue with this: Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump “We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked...” Barrack Obama, 2005. I voted, when I was a Senator, to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in...” Hillary Clinton, 2015. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | Sure you can argue with that. They are not talking about the same thing that Trump is talking about now. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | Trump has already broken 17 promises. That doesn't count "stalled" ones that haven't been resolved yet. One of the stalled ones is to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton. I am not sure why that doesn't count as a promise broken - he already said that "played well" during the campaign and "we don't care about that anymore" when one of his crowds started chanting "lock her up" https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/browse/?page=1 "Obama broke promises too!" doesn't make it ok, for either of them. Trump was supposed to be different. He was supposed to say what he would do, and do what he would said. He was supposed to be a non-polititian, an anti-politian. As it turns out, he's worse than a politician. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Yeah, you can't really assess promises kept and broken till they leave office. Trump hasn't even been there 2 years yet. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Don't worry. Trump will leave in 2025 and some Dem bozo will tank it again and you'll all be happy. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
