Why the FUCK weren't republicans governing when they had control of ALL branches of government???

Why didn't republicans pass wall funding then??

I'd really like the Trumpers to address this.

Not a chance. It clashes with their victimization narrative.

Funny...

You want Democrats to govern... Cute...

^^^^^ this will never get answered in here.

Answer the question.

Why didn't republicans bring it up for a vote when they passed those bullshit tax cuts for billionaires?

 

[dviss1]

Any conservatives wanna take a stab at it?

@MarAzul? @MARIS61?

Why didn't Trump pass a bill for wall funding when Republicans controlled the House, Senate, Presidency, AND the SCOTUS?

Due diligence. These things take time to figure out. Added to it the various lawsuits and other things going on to stop forward progress

They still thought they'd strongarm Mexico into paying for it ...I'm guessing here

especially when they don't have a fucking clue to start with

I'll take a stab. And I'm definitely conservative economically. I think he knows the Dems are dug in and he is pushing the border wall to distract attention from the Mueller investigation. As long as there is screaming about the pro's and con's of the border wall less attention is paid to Mueller and what he might be finding out. I don't think the investigation is about collusion either. I think it's about seeking financial gain while in office. I'm not sure Trump himself is guilty of this, but I think it's pretty clear people in his administration are.

It was tied up in the courts until December

Dude I'm really sorry to hear you have all these legal problems....

This is exactly what the wall and the Syrian pullout are to me...headlines to bury headlines

Uh. Trump is looking for funding. The government is shut down due to funding of the wall. No due diligence or lawsuits should prohibit funding.

I'm not sure about the Syrian pullout. I'd rather get out of there. Of course, I don't see anything particularly bad about the border wall either.

They decided not to proceed until it went through the judicial system.

I don't want to be in any of those places but his abrupt pullout without plans or consultation of his staff were purely sketchy as to the timing of his announcement in the middle of getting caught lying about his knowledge of pay for play politics.

Texas just filed suit against the wall in the Rio Grande region...he's fucking with deer and wild boar hunters...free range ranchers and the church now....not going to fly.....

 

[oldmangrouch]

I do find it interesting how many on the right are suddenly OK with a plan that requires a huge government land grab.

We went, armed the Kurds, swore to protect them, now we're leaving them high and dry to be ethnically cleansed by Turkey.

It's shameful.

What are your thoughts on Eminent Domain?

For or against?

It's because of this:

When are the stupid Dem leaders, and their marionette followers, going to learn that two wrongs do not make a right?

When the stupid Republican leaders pull their heads out of their asses.

I'll agree with much of what you say except that I'll bet that Mueller has found transgressions up the ass. There's almost certainly a ton of shit Trump's been up to his neck in.

Never.

Never.

real estate...art...mutual funds..money market...give me 200k for 28 years and I'll make more than 5.5 million....I'm sure she has a pretty savvy financial advisor. 28 years ago she could have bought a couple of houses in San Francisco and made more than that today...my property over 20 years here has made more money than my salary did in plain currency value...Pelosi if anything never strikes me as dumb

Nope, it's all proof that Hillary's emails show that Donald Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote and he is the most popular Republican ever.

 

[Lanny]

My net worth over 28 years has grown probably 40 times what it was then, maybe more.
I think people should complain when they've got some evidence supporting their complaint. Until then I'll just wait until I see some sort of indictment which I'm going to expect any day now.

Hate it 90 percent of the time.

For an interstate highway? Ok but they better get paid.

For a sports stadium or something? Get fucked.

It is really hard to make a line somewhere because morally it seems wrong.

 

[julius]

Never.

Besides the fact that her annual salary wasn't 193K for the last 28 years, her net worth isn't 196 million dollars.
