    What I cannot understand for the life of me is why Trump is being such a petulant child about this. Our infrastructure is a D+ rating by the Board of Civil Engineers, our bridges scare the **** out of me and what used to be roads that were a literal pleasure to drive on now wear our cars out in a year or less.

    And it could all have Trump's name on it, literally, everywhere you'd look; JJUUGGEE signs "TRUMP, Making Our Roads Better"

    Did you think I was complaining?

    Not really

    Because to the extent we are allowed to here by the gpds on Mt Olympus we can dish it out as well as take it

    Which you already know

    The left has always been under the delusion that you are smarter than conservatives

    But if that helps raise your low self esteem then I dont mind

    I’m told that once mighty california has terrible infastructure problems that the incompetent liberals there are unable to address due to lack of funds

    And one reason for that is too many illegal aliens with too many chilren sucking up welfare money

    Trump is trying to stop the flow of illegals to the rest of America and hopefully not go down the same crumbling road as california

    There is a lot of ignorance on the left when it comes to the wall

    The actual 30 ft high “beautiful” see-through wall will only span 700-800 miles in and near the more built up areas along the border

    The limitless expanses of empty sand will be monitored electronically

    From what I recall he also received almost half the popular votes as well and they did seem to want the wall.

    Trump is being a petulant child on this because he IS a petulant child,and not much more.

    The only thing he really know about politics is how to entertain his Fox News, talk radio base. And the adulation of crowds in rallies like Spartanburg, Oshkosh and McKeesport are what he feeds on.

    Absent this self destructive artificial fight, the stories would continue to be Flynn being told he's lucky he's not in jail (after Trump TV breathlessly told its audience that he would be exhonorated), the Matis resignation and the way it is turning into a slow motion train wreck, the stock market, Kushner's growing list of issues, a comprehensive report describing the details of the Russians influence operation (and the degree to which it targeted the Trump TV audience to get Trump installed), North Korea telling Trump to pound sand, and the many dubious issues surrounding another resignee, Ryan Zinke (whose next stop is in front of a Grand Jury(s)).

    But Kapitan Kaos decided to heed the instructions coming out of his AM radio, which, in itself, is a reflection of how weak and irresponsible he really is.

    Trump theoretically made it an agenda, but I will admit disappointment that he hasn't moved the needle much since being President. That said, if he did pursue this earlier would there have been political capital? There was of course the #resistance movement.

    Going beyond Trump, this is still an area of huge need and definitely would vote for the 2020 candidate based on it. Not only saying it, but if he/she has legislative history showing that they're concerned about it.

    Stop it, the horse(Trump) is dead. He's not gonna be POTUS in 2020, he might not even be on the ballot in 2020. Whether it be a combination of his own efforts, democratic efforts or all of the above, the Trump presidency has failed. Now we're just beating on a dead horse.

    Oligarchs?

    Do you just make this stuff up all by yourself? Or do you let Fox and Rush do your thinking for you? Putting words in other people's mouths is a
    No, the horse is not dead.

    You might want to try and make up your mind which side of your mouth you're going to talk out of.

    After three years of being one of the most ardent Trump supporters on this forum, you're trying to pretend that you're something else.

    "WHAAA! WHAAA! ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY
    'BIG, BEAUTIFUL WALL THAT I PROMISED MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR!"'

    [​IMG]

    420,000 American will be working without pay this holiday, and another 380,000
    will be furloughed. Trump boasts that he takes responsibility for
    shutting down the government and is proud to do so.
    However, the misery is being shared by the Trumps as the First Lady is hightailing it back to all those blood red xmas trees.

    You keep calling me a Trump supporter, I'm not a trump Supporter. I didn't even give him an endorsement until late October, and then Pussay video came out and then I said "**** it, whether he wins or not I don't give a damn" Since HRC was on the other side, it didn't matter to me who was President.

    I didn't even vote in 2016(and I remember telling you that as well). So I'll tell you again: I did not vote in 2016. By the time my voting card got mailed to me, we already went past the election.

    That said, that night will go on in infamy for being the greatest hoot ever. Queen Hillary did not get annointed. That is still cause for celebration even if Trump is indicted on charges. Sometimes, you have to make a bad choice to prevent yourselves from making a terrible one. By her own admission, she couldn't run a successful campaign but we expected her to manage the oval office?

    Also, Podesta being trotted out there and Hillary swearing made it even more spectacularly awesome. It could've been anybody, the fact that it was "the orange one" who did it? Priceless.

    That is to the extent that I might have been a fan of the President's. The happy coincidence that he dressed down fmr. secretary Clinton.

    After that I supported his presidency only on the basis of national security, and the national homeland's interests. Even today, I would like for his presidency to end quietly and with a whimper. At least as much as possible, for national security purposes. It's about the nation, not about Donald Trump.

    I might be the only one, post-2016 who cares more about America than a singular individual. And I can rest in posterity, knowing that my thoughts from 2016 onward have been consistent. You may not believe it, but that doesn't matter. I will state for all time that I was consistent.

    Reports of Trumps political death are wildly exaggerated That's how we got this gaping ******* in the first place and remember that Hitler LOST Germany's last election in 1932

    I hope you're right but we Dems must assume you're wrong. My own feeling is that Trump will still call out the tanks after he loses in 2020. He HAS to, once he's not President he can no longer pardon himself but he can still be prosecuted for crimes we won't even know about until then (can you pardon yourself for crimes nobody even knows about yet? Trump will make Moot Court interesting for years to come)

    Never forget that a small cadre of fanatics can take over governments by violence when they have lost by democratic means, we have seen that happen far too much to too many to say it can't happen here.

    I have noted that AN has this annoying habit of not fitting his stereotype. I fear he might be one of those people who actually bases his politics upon THOUGHT. I will refrain from reporting him to my Overlords of the Sublime Authority though, for now

    That being said I must point out to him that one can be consistently wrong
