Has been since I got here 2 years ago.

I've even had the NT comment police come flying off the top rope, clear across the boards, to chew me and another member out for passing an anti NT joke between ourselves.

Apparently she felt threatened, so she had to crash the thread to remind us of HER Rights to hate Trump without any hint of rancor popping up among the rest of us Neanderthals.

Yep, been there, done that.  Totally unacceptable as a Mod.

Baloney.  Legal American nabbed that honor long ago.

I did point out earlier that I had seen one person (not my patient) who was helped by ECT.  And I admitted that my knowledge base of ECT was otherwise profoundly limited.  Well, so what?

I certainly never plan to order ECT and I never intend to recommend ECT.  So, puh-leez don't be offended by my failure ("refusal"?) to thank you and praise you for your potentially important links--which happen to be kind of unimportant to me in my professional situation.

Hey, this sort of thing happens on our weird forum.


No foul or penalty intended Doc.

On this subject (Govt funded mind and mood control, Dept of Federal Mind Crimes) I'm All too used to it.

But that doesn't mean I'm gonna sit back and ignore other comments that are rooted in Feelings walk all over hard evidence to the contrary.

I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of shilling for Scientology, and blown off with back handed endorsements of the 'professionalism' of these theory laden drug pushers, frauds and complete Failures.

Had 1 here a while back who dug in as if it were the Battle of the Bulge and kept ignoring all the science pprs I gave him, to continually launch his game winning Bon Mot back that at least "They" were in Treatment.

What the hell good is that, when Treatment is a 100 pct Fail which is Already prohibited by Federal Criminal Racketeering, Health Care Fraud, and Civil Rights Statutes? Not case law and Massive Incarcerations yet, but the Statutes themselves, so far.

So, people on here are not used to truth, anymore?  They have to mock me?  If it were NOT TRUE...what I post, why bother trying to put me down?  Makes no sense.

My president does NOT drink any alcohol, does NOT SMOKE..anything, does NOT take ILLEGAL  drugs, like the former Obama.

He is totally wholesome, that way. Not many can claim that on here, except for myself.  Watch how many are going to have reading comprehension problems with this post!

Back to the topic at hand....

The question shouldn't be 'why hasn't he folded', it should be 'why hasn't he used the tools at his disposal to accomplish what he needs to'.

We don't need negotiations, we need a project manager who evaluates the tools and resources at his disposal and uses those in the best way to achieve his goals.

For example, as many have pointed out over and over, he can declare an emergency and use the military and the corps of engineers to, in the very least, start work in high risk areas. Declaring a state of emergency isn't as big of a deal as some make it out to be- hell, Obama did it over a flu outbreak.

As for the money, I bet most didn't know that the President has over $100 Billion in Presidential Discretionary Funds for ongoing operations of departments under him. https://www.thebalance.com/current-us-discretionary-federal-budget-and-spending-3306308

A good project manager can look at the funds he has access to, and I bet would be able to shift around enough to get what he needs where he needs it.

That's just one of several ways he can accomplish this. He may not get exactly what he wants the way he wants it, but it would get the ball rolling and actually get something done.

So let's go back to 'Why'. Is he not aware of this? Does he not want to go this route (which is another Why). Maybe we should ask 'why' he is playing the politics game instead of using the tools and resources at his disposal.

@240B I live in WI.  You are safe.  I'm sorry I scared you from my keyboard.  Thanx for your laughably insincere concern.

You argue like a little girl.  I'm not saying that as an insult. You really do.
I truly feel sorry for you. You need balls and an opinion about something besides your projections of my emotions.

Have a nice day.

Great post.  The answer is Trump doesn't really want the wall, he knows it can't be done, and it's too hard to try to explain it to the voters who want it, but don't understand the consequences of building it.

They'll take him off the street and into a psych detention facility, for as long as his Insurance holds out.

Then kick him Back out onto the street with a head full of even more tangled wiring and a prescription for the newest most expensive psych drugs he Won't be able to pay for, which might full well blow his No Physical Violence circuit breakers.

Then you clearly didn't read the post I was responding to.  That TBR member thinks Trump is perfect and can do no wrong and has said so in numerous previous posts.  It's not the mythical "anti-Trumpers" saying he's perfect...it's the blind followers of Trump that are saying that as witnessed by posts on this forum by certain members...one of which I quoted.
