    I'm not the one whining about Benedict Donald getting c*ck-blocked every other post.

    Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

    Well, that didn't age well.

    Crews began construction on 247 miles of 30-foot-high wall in Arizona and New Mexico.

    Last month, the Supreme Court ended Democrat obstruction permitting President Trump to start to fulfill his promises.

    247 miles of fence will be complete in 45 days.

    What does this mean? And the cost of high speed rail is not in the maintenance but in the construction. Now I think high speed rail in the BOWASH corridor is needed, but not coat to coast a 200 MPH train is still a day from NYC to LA. What is really needed to reduce energy use is a tax on commuters single riding into cities. Anybody car-pooling ridesharing will be exempted. I think going more proactive with carpooling will be beneficial, no state excise tax, a rebate of state and federal gas tax etc.

    Well he didn't fix the economy either. He dobled the deficit and added 5 trillion to the debt.

    Even if that were true (which it isn't), that is not the point. The point is that this is one more thing Trump lies about repeatedly.

    Doesn't that bother you? And please, if you answer that, refrain from whataboutisms. Show me that at least one Trumpster can post a comment that contributes to the discussion without simply slamming the left.

    ... or anything Fox News reports, or anything Limbaugh blurts out ... fact-checking requires effort and personal responsibility.

    At least the rail would be useful.

    The Dems own that issue because unlike Trump's supporters, they know that the vast majority of us are against Trump's wall, for a wide variety of reasons that do not include "open borders," a term used primarily by the right as an accusation against the left. We want a reformation of our immigration laws, protection for DACA registerees, and more resources for vetting asylum seekers in a timely and efficient manner. Our processes are in need of a complete overhaul.

    Yes, but those drugs are fentanyl and other opiates coming in to our air and sea ports from China, and not coming across our southern border. I bet Breitbart failed to mention that.

    (I chuckled at the Breitfart name you used, but I don't like to use that any more than I liked it when so many called Obama names like Obozo or Obummer. Just saying.)

    I call BS. A bipartisan bill reforming our immigration and asylum processes passed the House months ago, but as with virtually anything we the people really want, Moscow Mitch refuses to bring it to the Senate. Same goes for the recent bill for more comprehensive background checks and "red flag" laws that passed the House by a giant margin.

    As for money, Trump has already added more than $1.5 trillion to the deficit, mostly by his big tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, all of which screws the working class and retirees. Are you tired of winning yet?

    How many congressional Democrats have called for open borders? Please cite a valid reference.

    Texas and Florida are turning blue on their own, and illegals don't vote in state or national elections.

    Which, of course, democrats are against also. The asylum laws need to be changed and the idiotic interpretation that any foreigner dropping a baby here, the baby is an automatic citizen.

    When did the Democrats agree to wall funding? How many times have they gone to court to stop wall funding and immigration reform?

    If you want to change birthright citizenship you need an amendment to repeal the 14th.

    Which was designed to make former slaves free and equal citizens, passed during the reconstruction era, not for anyone from any country dropping a baby here.

    Then they should have worded it that way. Instead, they worded it “all persons” instead of “former slaves”.

    YOu clearly don't get it HIgh speed rail lines needs a good bit more maintenance than the usual stuff. 50 to 80 miles a hours is one thing That barely noticeable vibration from uneven tracks at fifty to eighty MPH becomes a bone rattling tooth loosening jarring pain in the butt at 250 to 300 mph assuming the train doesn't go cross country on you.

    I get it, High speed rail needs embankments and welded track. I don't understand why you even mentioned the cost of maintenance of something that doesn't exist.

    Because if you build it it will exist. And that is the boondoggle the far left is selling.

    They want us to be less dependant on air travel. Why is that a bad thing? Expansion of airports cost billions to maintain also. Many times more expensive than rail stations and welded track I personally think that high speed rail between Boston/Philly/NY and DC would be pretty practical and greatly reduce air congestion on the east coast. Chicago/Cleveland/NYC may work also.

    Id that was true Beto would've won the TX senate race and Bill Nelson would still be senator of Florida. Gillium would be governor of FL and thank god that didn't happen. Gosh, he accused the whole state of being racists in his campaign if they didn't like his policies. Talk about a race baitor.
