Look at all the countries around the world that have walls....i.e. The GREAT Wall of China.. Israel. "some Euro countries.....It's all about protecting us U.S. citizens. .PERIOD.... and as President Trump took his oath to serve as President one of his main duties is to protect US!!..Quite simple really...but the TRUE facts are is the DEM party KNOWS once the illegal immigrant spigot is turned off..they will have a much smaller future pool of voters... Why....Because it's obvious..the more educated any person gets of what the DEM party is actually all about they realize what lying power hungry frauds they really are all about...i.e. Schiff who doesn't want to accept the heralded Special Counsel's findings..WTF??..Face it, the GOP is far from perfect..they have plenty of faults too..

Ironically, President Piggy's approval with Mexicans AND Black folks are soaring......And DON'T think this whole Jussie Schmulett(??) case hasn't opened a few eyes into how much deceit and hate resides with the LEFT going wild.....what they'll do. .Did you see Charles Barkley and SHAQ laughing so hard the other night....yeah write a check for $3500...

What's amazing is that after 3 plus years on the national stage..so many people don't get him...I understand the way he thinks and I realize he's not a polished politician and that's ok...He's constantly under ATTACK everyday by people who hate him...Facts are he has very good policies that have been successful ..but so many are blinded by their own emotions (HATE).. it's so so sad...

And Yes, I totally understand your points of cheaper labor...Hi-tech or tire repair shop....But remember..don't think once an illegal gets in , they REALLY don't want more coming..less dinero possibly for them..Enough is ENOUGH...

Take the emotions out of the equation and just look at the policies..light years opposite of BOH...Thank God.. he saved Rome from BURNING much faster had HRC been elected..

LOL don't get Trump? I work for an insane woman who's exactly like him. Get the hell out of here with that nonsense. It's obvious the public doesn't understand Trump or they would be much more concerned about his capabilities. I'm not going to try and convince others. That's extremely unlikely to ever accomplish anything. What I will do is provide my description of Trump that I've posted in the past and the similarities my boss displays. I'm sure some of the people who read this will actually realize it sounds quite accurate.

It's embarrassing that some humans are so imperceptive that they really see Pelosi as a dangerous crime figure and Trump as a saint. It doesn't really matter but I am giving my assessment of Trump and I don't care if you don't like it. He's a lowlife. He represents the very worst of humanity. He's crass and amoral. He's a charlatan and a blowhard. He will say whatever he thinks people want to hear for a given subject to get votes. He takes credit for work that others have done and never takes any responsibility for his actions. Every single thing that Trump does has to benefit him in some way or at least look altruistic enough to make people think it's representative of him as an individual. He speaks in generalities to avoid having to provide specifics. He pontificates on subjects that require information he doesn't possess. He's actually a narcissist and I feel that he embraces being Machiavellian.

I could go on but I think that suffices. I work for someone like Trump. I laugh every single day when people assert they really understand him and how he behaves. Oh, you absolutely do not. I'm certain the average person would be startled and worried if they understood how Trump really functions. It's okay. He's extremely fat, eats the worst food and never exercises. He'll have a massive heart attack before he hits 80. I feel like the public never questions why exactly did so many people from Trump's administration end up leaving. I can explain since nobody seems to realize. Trump is demanding and unreasonable. He's irrational and he doesn't appreciate your hard work. What you did today is more important than the totality of everything you previously accomplished. The smartest people discovered what I just stated to be accurate. They stayed as long as possible until it became untenable. I'm impressed that Republicans have been able to provide cover for Trump up to this juncture. I'm very confident that it's dysfunctional and chaotic for day-to-day affairs. The public has this image of Trump's diligently slaving away at work and that's not even remotely close to the truth.

Trump is a very easy read.

He's a member of the "Lucky Sperm Club" who have done nothing smarter than inherit someone's else's wealth. It's mind boggling to me how people don't see through this phony who stole from his own charity. Soon his taxes will be exposed & so will he. He is a science & climate denier who is extremely ignorant & unable to accept facts that he just can't comprehend.

Tomorrow we will hear information that may shock some about who Trump truly is. He is a thief, a liar, a racist, a thug, untrustworthy, friendless, arrogant & a total POS. He surrounds himself with liars just like him.

This hearing will be totally partisan as almost everything is in DC. However, Trump's fragile ego is about to get torched.

The House passed the resolution to terminate Trump's national emergency declaration 245-182. Thirteen Republicans voted with the Democrats.

The resolution moves on to the Senate where the rubber meets the road.

I don't profess to be an expert on all matters but if I'm offering my opinion, I think many Republicans have their own reasons for supporting or going against Trump. My hunch is that Republicans in Congress would actually prefer to ditch Trump right now if they could. Many of them probably feel that he's becoming more trouble than he's worth. They can't do it since the constituents back Trump so much, which is boxing the Republicans into a corner. They've liked that he's helped pass their social agenda and that he's been able to appoint judges that the party wants in place. However, his tweeting incessantly makes him look like a whiny teenager to the public. Sometimes he sounds ridiculous. They don't like Trump making random declarations when he hasn't consulted anyone else. That is not a cohesive party working together. I don't believe in a clandestine operation that's trying to take Trump down, so I don't believe I can offer a fair opinion about those Republicans and loyalists. What I can tell you is that there are probably career Republicans in positions with long-held beliefs about certain issues and they don't like what Trump is doing. I don't see them formulating a plot to take Trump down. Democrats would honestly be more likely to do something like that. If you can give proof of it and charge them with crimes, then go ahead and do it. Otherwise, it's just conspiracy theories.

Don't lose sight that 182 Republication chose to abdicate their responsibility to protect the constitutional separation of powers with the vote today.

Absolutely disgraceful & gutless.

Wow man, you might take the cake here, It is truly horrifying to hear someone talk like you do...….Trump is a PATRIOT??? an_roll_laugh Keep telling yourself that. Did you watch the entire CPAC speech? Would be great entertainment to hear you regale us with all the great, patriotic things that were said. and before you do, don't call me a leftist/liberal...…...believe it or not, there are many of us that think Trump is a horrible person that aren't

This Mitch McConnell trick is not going to work, it only makes you look like scum-bags

Trump’s dubious explanation for why he had not served in Vietnam. “You think I’m stupid?” Cohen recalled Trump telling him. “I wasn’t going to Vietnam.”

You got to wonder how are Trump's bone spurs in his feet doing in these days?

McConnell confirms that majority of GOP led senate rejects Trump's emergency declaration. No previous president has declared a emergency for an unnecessary pet project that most americans oppose and congress refuses to fund. His declaration is an unprecedented abuse of power that violates congress authority to control spending.

Congress must defend its constitutional rights. Even republican Rand Paul says Trump's own judicial picks are likely to rebuke him in courts. Some republicans want to introduce a bill to limit a emergency to 30 days unless extension is approved by congress.

This is not true ., the declaration itself is clearly within the powers laid out by...the National Emergencies Act of 1976...and its restrictions aren’t very restrictive...

the wall is the wall. it is not a representation of hate or all those things that DJT represents. the wall establishes state sovereignty. we are an independent nation that has fought for the right of freedom, free speech, and never be under repression of other entities. people in the past have died for these values, put their lives on the line and many died. we are so fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world. sure, the way we got here is reprehensible in some aspects, but we don't have to put our heads in a French guallitene. . because we have rights. a right to a speedy trial, a right to representation...a right to question justice that is unalienable. we all may hate those that govern us...but we can fire those that don't represent our values... its called a vote..free elections. we all need to be civil and have a conversation.....not vindictiveness. we all live in the greatest country in the world...its time we all start acting like it.
