@libertybele @corbe

Yeah, well, who are you speaking to?

Liberty Belle gives the same boorish speech about "Oh, I think Trump is going to work with the Democrats if they are in charge",  this is turned back on someone and Corbe goes bananas,.

By the way, Cruz has aligned himself clearly with Trump, something Corbe certainly did not and Liberty was talking up the Constitution party before the election.

So, Corbe doesn't even support what Cruz says, Get a life, he has to slander people with a lazy argument calling people haters.

And as for LibertyBele, hey, if this bill would work, obviously, it would go somewhere, it hasn't and Cruz has done that much on Cap Hill, no more than Paul, Rubio and so on.  Yes, he says some of the right things, he also had a campaign that had a lot of tricks and I supported him before that became seemingly like every state.

And that "voters" thread whatever it was last night, how we saw some that didn't mind joining in the fun.

Touche.

Really, what's the hold up, if it is such a great bill, why are we hearing nothing about it. Yeah, we got it from the Cruz-ers, cause everyone is against Ted, he thought up the border wall by himself, etc. etc. etc.

People dish it out, and they will hear some responses.

You are really confusing the whole issue of you maintaining wood.  The first comment seems like a no, but then the next one makes it seem like a yes.  Anyway, probably best not to discuss these things on a public forum.

Republicans have a binder full of dance steps, whereby they cannot improve border security.

It started in 1986 with Reagan's Amnesty and continues to this day.

Lets face it.  They don't want to do anything about the border.  Big Republican donors don't want to.  Trump doesn't even want to.  If he did he would tell McConnell to put it where the sun doesn't shine.

Even if this money is still there and could be accessed these scumbags wouldn't vote for it.

Excuse me, who has more Conservative accomplishments? Not just words.  Almost daily, we have heard of giving back religious liberties or something that Trump does that is good for conservatives. Cruz has only words, so your broken record is a bit tiresome. When it comes down to conservative accomplishments, Gorsuch on the SCOTUS, those are true achievements to hear this running down Trump all the time. I don't agree with this withdrawal in Syria. We will have to see what happens but I'm not hypocritically trashing Trump with this innuendo of liberalism when he has already done much more conservative-wise than your man Ted has, whose actual accomplishments are minimal. It's really a cult, ignore Cruz has given much support to the President, might as well just echo back what you all write. It's nonsense, maybe I will write nonsense.

Even this article, based on a Breitbart article of over a year ago and the bill apparently went nowhere.

I always thought that Fiscal Responsibility was Conservative.  But we continue to increase our social spending including the funding of the baby body part business Planned Parenthood.  Trump talks about how much money we could save if we stopped illegal immigration.  We all know we can but he won't do it.  He won't shut down the government for Conservative Principles.

Balanced Budget

A budget in which revenues equal or exceed expenditures. A balanced budget is thought to be positive for a company, as it means that the company is not taking on any (additional) debt in order to conduct its operations; if revenues exceed expenditures, it results in a profit. Balanced budgets may be recognized after a fiscal year is complete, or they may be projected for an upcoming year.

balanced budget
 a situation where GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE is equal to TAXATION and other receipts.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Even if he does, the second it goes before another Leftist Judge, they toss asset forfiture right out the window, because Trump, . . . . or something.

As for Cruz, I rather see him pull his head out of his A@@ and TRY getting the requisite votes together to just Build the freakin wall the right way, . . . . but there's no political capital in that since it won't have His name on it for the year and a half our joke Courts play volley-ball with it.
Well, if they do away with civil asset forfeiture, it's a win, anyway (unconstitutional ripoff for lots of little people doing nothing wrong, even if the chance to stick it to the big boys goes away).

Let him try, but I'm sure the Pubbies would find some excuse to not get it through.
Washington remains Kabuki Central, lots of posturing, but little done. Sometimes that is a good thing, but if this bunch had been in office in 1941, the response to Pearl Harbor would either be tied up in committee or stuck in appellate court.

Good grief.

I've linked to enough hard evidence, in detail to qualify readers for at least a Batchelor's Degree in Pharmaceutical Fraud if not a Master's degree.

And None of it was every refuted by anyone beyond a catty remark made by Dr 'On The Take' who was upset at anyone questioning his industry's Top Dollar ethics.

What I Got from you, regarding the emotional breakdowns and aggressive behaviors caused by these Mind Control Quacks is to have it all dismissed out of hand with a condescending sniff of:

"Of for goodness sake, he was Sick. He needed treatment", when the GD Treatment is what set Most of those school shooters off on their murdering rampages to begin with.

So please, Spare me the Sanctimony over a "True Constitutional Conservative" Pharma Whore who introduced a bill to put the CBC and every other nitwit in Congress in charge of approving crap drugs that cause violence, don't cure shit, and directly cause all kinds of life long chronic, crippling diseases.

I'm in No mood to put myself through a second of those 10 year dry humps over 1 more 100%, bonded, FOR SALE political Street Walker in High Heels and Fish Nets, just so I can say, "See, I Told You SO!"

I do disagree with your absolutist, fervently negative stance on mental health care.  I do not question your sincerity.

However, this thread is about a bill to fund the wall, so I will leave my comment at that.

Fine. And since this is a Bill about Wall Funding that a grandstanding Sky Writer popped off about with a Click Bait Banner about a solution that will never come to fruition (and the mods want us to keep it civil) I will end My response with

I've only spent 10 years pouring over Court slip opinions, rigged clinical trial designs and results, official company denials of all manner of evidence against them, Sales PR from Docs who spend 40-60hrs a week pumping patients full of these nuero-toxins and seeing those patients litterally disintigrate, at arm length, then watching the US AG arrange Buy Outs at the Federal Level for pennies on the dollar as 40 out of 50 State AGs ramp up Court Actions against the Drug Maker for defrauding the State Medicare pgms.

I've seen Quack after Quack defend the position that it's NOT the drugs causing the behavioral toxicity, after SEEING The Drugs do Exactly That, all day every day.

I've a net friend in Ireland who lost her son to this industry. 21 years old. Had his own charity for the poor at his Church. Two weeks on an antidepressant he snapped and committed murder/suicide with a knife.

You put yourself in Her shoes. At his funeral the Priest launched into a screed against her son's 'evil'.

In defense of an obscenely huge pile of blood soaked money.

I've documented this stuff, presented it, and had it rebutted by Uninformed Opinion citing Theories as far ranging as Epigenetics (behavior/environment can physically Change a person's genetic make up)


Nobody ever bothered to even Read what I presented, before telling me I was wrong because of what They BELIEVE.

The Existence of ALL of these phony diseases is a matter of Belief to start with!

Or did we all learn Nothing with the parade of armchair Shrinks diagnosing Trump, without even interviewing him? (Not that an interview would have made their horseshit an ounce more accurate anyway)


So whatever could Possibly dispose one toward becoming un-civil?

We all have trauma and have had bad things happen to us over our lifetimes.  I don't expect anonymous posters on a political forum to listen to mine, and while I'm very sorry that this happened to you or you observed something that happened to someone else, that doesn't justify your trying to foist you chip onto other peoples' shoulders.

It goes way deeper than chips on shoulders.

We all get lectured about "Foundational Principles" here continually.;

And getting tagged/slimed with a Diagnostic Opinion invariably comes with the victims LOSS/Suspension of All of their Constitutional Rights.

It's one hell of a lot later on the road to 1984 than all but a few have any inkling of.

Police State USA.

But my research isn't worth even reading because somebody else BELIEVES in the incurable Disease of Opinion.

So, Foundational Principles?

Nope. No time for those.

Every time Trump screws up, they resurrect the Ted Cruz scapegoat.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
