Trump says 'you have no choice but to vote for me' at New Hampshire rally

[txradioguy]

Funny how that is - Because Republicans could have fixed that - having controlled all of Congress multiple times, and even controlling both houses and the administration.

BUPKIS.  Like I said, no opposition. You're making my case.
The difference is, @DCPatriot , you seem to be alright with that.

@roamer_1

McConnell - "I'll repeal Obamacare root and branch when I'm the majority leader again"

Also McConnell - We can't do anything until we get a majority in the Senate again

Also also McConnell - We need the Presidency to repeal Obamacare and get legislation passed that Americans want.

McConnell gets what he wants...no border wall...no "root and branch" repeal of Obamacare deficit continues to grow spending caps removed...GOP loses House


Trump - I'll build the wall and Mexico will pay for it

Also Trump - I'll erase the deficit in 8 years

Also also Trump - I'll never sign another horrible budget like that if it comes to my desk

Also also also Trump - I'll get rid of Obamacare on my first day as President


You know the rest...

You know the rest...

@txradioguy
Oh yeah, and ooh, but they're keeping the promises... with EO's that pass like a fart in a windstorm... Nothing more than braggin rights.

In the mean time, what gets passed as law...
And folks just don't catch on.

That's definitely what's going on today.

[libertybele]

With the exception of the Green New Deal...those other things have been done in half measures by the GOP and McConnell.

McConnell's seat is up for challenge in 2020, one of the best things that could happen to this country is if he loses.

That would completely depend on who he loses to.

Classy.  Very classy.  Get that from your horse?

BTW, I think Ronald Reagan would stand in awe of President Trump.  POTUS has, to date, survived a coup attempt, revived our economy, brought the vital importance of sovereignty to the national consciousness, rebuilt our military, used EOs to cut welfare and social program abuse, barred organization making referrals for abortion from receiving federal family planning money, got NATO to cough up their rightful dues, moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem, appointed 179 federal judges to the bench, taken care of our Veterans [...]

All done while fighting the socialists and liberal justices with one hand tied behind his back. 

The student has exceeded the master.

Not until he puts the monkey to bed.

How shall we define "The Wall"? 500 miles? 1000 miles? So far, I think about 50 miles have been constructed.

The southern border is about 2000 miles. It's unrealistic to expect 100% coverage given the geography. Barricades along 1000 miles will give the Border Patrol much more leverage to do their job, as it will to discourage illegal immigrants.

One thousand nine hundred and fifty four miles. Build the wall where the terrain is the most accommodating, and that will take care of most easy routes. Block off a few canyon routes too, and suddenly, it isn't such a 'nice trip' any more.

The government has a couple of air bases in North Dakota....

[Smokin Joe]

Of course it is @libertybele  But why aren't you laying the blame where it belongs:  at the feet of the democrats for blocking legislation and suing the President at every turn?

Until and unless we know what is in the proposed legislation we're still just speculating and borrowing upset.  Let's wait until September before we jump all over the one man, again, standing in defense of the 2A.   

Dear Lady, there are over 80,000,000 standing in defense of the 2nd.

Respectfully, a demurral.
While Greenland is highly autonomous, Denmark, for now, has the last word.
Ironically, its Inuit population evolved from Asian Mongoloids long ago.
Some 80% of that island/nation is inside the Arctic Circle, so its terrain
is mountainous as well as sheathed in ice.
It's value is in it's energy resources which geologists have examined favorably.
Incidentally, we have an AF Base at Thule.
It's not as preposterous as it may sound because we have the capital to exploit
its valuable resources, while Denmark does not.

Unless we see a drastic change in solar activity, they won't be growing much aside from ice up there soon....

But didn't ya hear? Everyplace else on the planet south of there will be a parched desert by 2000...2012...2020! Yeah, that's it! 2020!

It's not really possible to drape a wall like the Great Wall of China, but that doesn't mean we should not build where we can.  This "We can't do 100% so we can't do any!" business has to stop.  The post-Katrina New Orleans dike project cost a hella lot more and protects fewer people.

[Smokin Joe]

It certainly is one of the most asinine ideas he has had.

Maybe, but Alaska was considered "Seward's Folly", too.

It is one of the few ideas that might pay for itself, eventually.

You mean we can't build as well as the Chinese could in the 1600s?

I honestly believe that if we had the will, we'd have the wall, every foot of it.

[Smokin Joe]

You are SOOO FOS!     

Okay. Who?

I do too, but we don't have the will to build a wall past San Diego or a few miles either side of Nogales and Douglas.   

[Smokin Joe]

Sad. If ever there was a ready to build legacy for a POTUS, that wall would be it.

That would completely depend on who he loses to.

Be careful you don’t slip into dreaded ‘binary’ thinking. /s

Buy Greenland?  I thought we were $22T in debt?  Trump is as bad as drunken sailor at port.

[roamer_1]

Yeah. ..."glacier water" 1 liter bottles on sale at $0.99 each....

Well yeah... And the 5th largest uranium mine in the world... And sovereign waters extending US/Canadian presence in the Arctic dang near to Brittan.

Don't get me wrong I am against the move. But there are reasons, I suppose, why it might be thought to be attractive.

Well, we could use something to replace the Uranium interests Hillary sold to the Russians....

There is a lot of mineral wealth there...but the Canadians might start to feel like we have them surrounded...

Aw, the Canucks are alright... They like to think they are different, but they are basically a brother from the same mother, and they know where their bread is buttered. The difference between Albertans and Montanans is nothing much, other than getting through the border.

In hospital (no 'the'), Oot and Aboot, Loonies and Twonies, eh? The Canadians often define themselves by how they differ from Americans, at least in the Prairie provinces. Yeah, some really good folks, but i can't get used to buying gasoline by the liter, and bacon (strip form) by the rasher. our currency has acquired colors, too, but it isn't some tearproof polyfilm yet.

Maybe I see it differently because the only cause I ever had to go up north was for rodeo and horse people... No difference at all. Sure they talk a little funny, but it is almost native to here - more native to me than someone from back east...

Place names are similar... feels somewhat like home... Maybe because the native names were used, and the same natives didn't have a border there... And a lot of Canuck things are native here - I know what a toque is, and use the term... I end my sentences with 'eh' all the time. 'Hoser' is not an uncommon slur around here... Yes it is a little different over the border, but not all that different.

Heck, all I need is beer and poutine to have a complete meeting of the minds.
