Must suck to be trump. His campaign manager is called a hardened criminal & recommended for a sentence he’ll never outlive. Every policy he makes is unconstitutional despite an extremely friendly Court. His polling numbers ensure he could never get re-elected, but he won’t get the chance anyway. His only “strategy” is to take everyone down with him, just like every dictator. We’ve all seen this movie before; no Hollywood ending! You’re fired, loser.

Flagpole -
I've been in the music industry for 22 years as a sound engineer, producer, and agent. I've worked for two of the largest labeIs and some of the brightest in the industry. I don't like to give out unsolicited advice, but if you'd like, I can offer you some tips and advice based on those pieces. Just let me know.
Here's the thing...I recorded that stuff with a free program and a computer microphone 15 years ago. Just what I had on my computer. As I have said, most of my stuff is with bands or sesdion work, and since I don't soley own that, I will not post.
Also, as far as advice, feel free to give it here publically, and I don't mean to be rude, but I'm not really looking for advice, but I would't mind hearing it. I can go join a blues or rock band or form one tomorrow if I wanted to...well, might take a week to form one. I have played paying gigs for 30 years including some very excellent festivals and venues with some very excellent musicians. I don't have any aspirations higher than that.
Obviously the "falsetto" song was just for fun...well, they all are, but that one more than the others.
I'm fine with criticism, but the "playing with two fingers" that one poster said is beyond bogus.
I am 3 years away from retirement, looks like I will retire to Southern California, and I may join a band then...or not.
Have at it with the advice...I don't have thin skin...again, just know I likely won't take it because I have accomplished all I wanted with regard to music.
No worries. Like I said, I don't usually give out unsolicited advice and since it seems you are just a guy who likes to putz around the house playing and don't have any professional aspirations, I'll withhold my advice.
From the link you provided, it looks like you may be in the Columbus, OH area. If you are into the blues scene there, you must be familiar with Shelly G, a mentee of mine.

Sometimes I swear that right wingers think the media are biased because they don't understand the difference between opinion pieces and news pieces. It's beyond stupid.
I agree with that too.
Unfortunately, the media (on both sides) tends to blur the lines between the two.

THANK YOU!!! I appreciate you being honest about the emergency at the border. We appreciate your service to this problem!
it's a lot of name calling and 90% of the "trumpers" are just trolling, yes.
I'd just say that all statistics show falling illiegal immigration rates and falling numbers of illegals in the country. Along with falling crime rates. That sort of thing does not ring the 'emergency' bell for me.
The better, more constitutional, solution is to wisely spend money on tech and people...not on a wall that can be scaled with a simple ladder. I mean if they can't stop the flow over the walls in populated areas, how will a wall help when the nearest border control agent is 20 miles away? Also a serious question.
I'm against building the wall. However, I think you should look at the prototypes that are being discussed for the "wall." They are not something that can easily be scaled, broken through, or dug under. You have a very simplistic understanding of the "wall."

lame.
1) His facts may not actually be facts, and are certainly questionable and cherry picked. No doubt first gen immigrants cost money. But 2nd gen immigrants and beyond make it worth the investment. And of course the drugs come in through ports of entry, which he agrees must continue to exist.
2) He doesn't even touch the key point - that an ocean to gulf wall would not stop people coming over the southern border. It just wouldn't. Ladders work. Look it up.
3) He does that right wing nutso thing where he suggests anyone against an ocean to gulf wall...is for open borders. I mean it's beyond stupid. Fact.
I want to know how right wingers seem completely oblivious to ladder technology.

a wall at the end of a 1000 mile journey on foot from Central America...is just a speed bump. To people that committed.
I mean if people are 'flooding' over the border in populated walled sections like our border offer claims is happening in San Diego...how is a remote all, miles and miles away from border patrol going to stop people from using ladder technology?

Yep, liberals see a good factual argument that doesn't agree with their stance, so they run and hide as if it wasn't posted. If Hillary Clinton or Obama was the one speaking in the video, you all would have praised him or her. As someone said pages ago, you only agree with what fits your political agenda. Watch the short video and swallow your pride Alan, agip, and Idiotpole.

The liberals here are allergic to facts such as the ones above in the video. They all have serious cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome, most likely terminal.

He didn't say that people are flooding over the border in a populated "walled" section, there's no "real" wall there. It's like an abandoned highway that they walk down and walk up, then they go thru fencing. I know this because I've lived just north of there myself up until 2001. If you really want to see what the poster was implying to, go there yourself. You can't have rose colored glasses on. It's actually San Ysidro that we are all talking about, but San Diego is what everyone can relate to.
The other comment you made about remote areas with ladders is tougher than you think. They have infrared lights that choppers and planes use to detect them and it works (look it up before calling me names). I lived in San Diego and heard this stuff all the time on the news. There are more border patrol officers in those remote places than you think.
From a report on the border
#That means coming in hidden compartments in vehicles, "sneaking in small groups through fencing", using real or fake entry documents, or coming in by boat along the coast.
Right, left or sideways, read this article when you have the time. Very interesting stuff. It's from November of 1983.

Wow, talk about lame. You are clearly biased and your argument about the ocean crossing is both lame and incorrect.
Ladders? Grow up dude, I know you are smarter than that. They have technology and stop more with ladders than you think. Worth repeating. You are biased and look at everything not said by a liberal as lame. Grow up dude, I've read posts by you and know you are smarter than that.
smh with embarrassment towards you.

Here’s this national emergency debate in a nutshell:
1. Can the president declare a national emergency for the border? YES. A president has broad power to declare a national emergency. It could be a national emergency on bubble gum. It’s just words. The actions he can take are limited by the 123 powers he can use without Congressional action.
2. Is this really an emergency? An emergency is defined as a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action. If we currently had columns of thousands of immigrants literally pouring into the border then yes that would be an emergency. Right now it doesn’t pass the eye test so instead you get Angel Moms, and fear tactics to elicit an emotional response. It’s disgusting.
A better solution would be to increase the number of agents, increase technology, increase judges and courts and simply speed up the processing of immigrants.
An even better solution would be to make E-Verify mandatory. I’m not sure what the argument against this is.
3. Can the president use military funds to build the wall. Legally probably not. We will find out. The narcotics money has to be spent this year and that’s not likely with the court battle. It’s unclear if the construction funds can even be used as it doesn’t affect a military installation or military personnel directly. Also there’s a big uproar that these funds are being taking away from housing improvements and other base modernization efforts. As an example my office building has asbestos and lead paint.
I don’t think Trump expects to get his wall built. He just needed to kick the can down the road to 2020. After 2020 it won’t matter because either way he won’t have another election to worry about.

Good morning! How are all you LRC stable geniuses doing this fine am?
LMAO. Somebody get this chick her meds. Great representation of the dumpster fire that is the Democratic Party.

you may not be aware that no president ever has declared an emergency to deliberately go around congress.
we now know you are exactly the kind of low-commitment democrat who looks the other way when a leader subverts a democracy. People like you existed in all the socialist states of the Warsaw Pact - you caused all that. People like you.
Obama called it executive orders:
DACA
Student Loans
Equal Pay for Women
Minimum Wage
Immigration Reform

+1. Liberals have selective memory it seems.

Serious answer. It's not an emergency. And a wall won't prevent any of those things.
I'm sure you have some sort of key to prevent any stranger from walking into your house. Why do you have that if someone can just pound your door or window open. Furthermore, why did you register your username on this website?

Amen. If the democrats don't want the wall, they should be required to open up their homes to all the illegal aliens. Otherwise, they are nothing more than a hypocrite.

Apples to Oranges.
All presidents use executive orders. Obama used less than most presidents. However there are limits to their use. They can shape policy, they cannot defy Congressional intent. They cannot be used to fund pet projects.
Appropriations go through Congress.
Your argument is invalid.

Are the walls that currently exist in San Diego the same as the current wall prototypes being developed?
What is your proposal for stopping illegal border crossings? Or, or you not against it?
