Yes it is, for the Dems.


How is it great the Dems flat out refuse
to negotiate. I don't get it. All they're
doing is forcing Trump's hand to build
the wall on his own. The Dems look like
buffoons is this because all of them
have supported a border wall in the past.
Now they just act like stubborn babies
because it's Trump who wants it.

Because the majority of Americans don’t want the stupid wall, and the majority of the Americans blame Donald for the shutdown (which he was “proud” to take ownership of).

The Dems have absolutely no reason to negotiate over a stupid wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.

lol: Nancy and Chuck’s awkward speech had more viewers than Donald’s awkward speech last night.

We all know Donald cares about crowd size. That news has really gotta chap his ass...

Thought the content of Trump’s speech was good, perhaps even compelling. He isn’t the same when reading off a TelePrompter though so didn’t think it came across all that well. Obviously rehersed but not well enough. Sounded like half the time he just rolled into the next sentence without taking an appropriate pause.

Federal judge tosses Ashley Judd's sexual harrassent claims against Weinstein out of court as not covered by the statute she sued under, though perhaps constituting sexual harassment in the colloquial sense.

Trump is now denying that he ever said Mexico would pay for the wall. Here's his crazy quote from this morning:


Quote: President Trump
“When during the campaign, I would say Mexico is going to pay for it, obviously, I never said this and never meant they’re gonna write out a check. I said they’re gonna pay for it. They are. They are paying for it with the incredible deal we made…. Mexico is paying for the wall indirectly…. Obviously, they’re not gonna write a check.”


During the 2016 campaign, Trump insisted that Mexico would send a check. On March 31, 2016 Donald Trump sent a memo to the media explaining that under the Trump administration Mexico would be required to make a one-time payment of $5 billion for the wall.



Eventually the marks will figure out that Trump is a con man, but some of these marks are slow.

thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border daily is an emergency. Costing us tens to hundreds of billions annually, along with many other problems.



Same emergency that Trump talked about up until the midterm vote, then just practically went silent about. Yeah. Real emergencies don't work like that. Triple double snicker.

It's fascinating that Trump waited until the Democrats took over the House before he got serious about the Mexican border. He was in a much much better position to negotiate a year ago.

If you want to see the full blown
hypocrisy of the the Left, here's
a compilation of Chucky Schumer
singing the praises of a border
wall and how awful illegal immigrants
are for the welfare and pocketbook
of the country.

Most won't watch it, they don't like
the truth.
