We get it, just pick on Trump because you voted for Hillary and you're an uninformed liberal...we understand completely mate!

It did not take long for an ignorant Trumper to express his ignorance.

Yes, liberals like to point the finger when Hillary and her thoughts on the border are brought up.

Ignorant Hillary lovers like to look the other way when she and her Democratic pals wanted the same thing and voted for it.

Ignorance is actually a compliment.

Flagpole looks the fool each time this is brought up. Same thing, just a different party in a different year, nothing more.

Flagpole looks more and more stupid each time. The facts are there, Hillary wanted the same thing but it was ok then.

Al, Flagpole, and liberals posting over and over, you really are looking quite "dumb". Please keep it up.

If the House pursues impeachment and Trump is not convicted and removed by the Senate, Trump's re-election is almost a certainty.

As one of those few who have correctly predicted Trump's election, I can tell you that that does not matter. Failed impeachment attempt or not, Trump is all but guaranteed to be win in 2020 as well.

Hence the current panic among the Democrats in the House.

Trump's emergency declaration to fund the Wall leading to Republicans support of a Democrat bill to prevent it from happening is a big misstep for Trump.

He could have just moved on after the funding bill to reopen the government was passed.

Now he is forcing a public vote of Republicans going against Trump.

If he vetoes it and it is overridden that would be really big.

His emergency wall is mapping a path to impeachment conviction.

It's putting a number of Republicans on record of going against Trump, not just a few stragglers like McCain voting no on the ACA repeal.

I know an impeachment is way bigger than a funding program, but these days, partisan politicians just don't stray from the party line and the president.

There was no need for Trump to help the Republican party fragment. He had them in his pocket.

The correct definition of TDS....everyone agrees wrote:

Correct! Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) refers to the disconnect between rationale / reality based thought and the political beliefs of Trump supporters. The term, thus, correctly applied ONLY refers to the beliefs of hardcore Trumpers. Everyone agrees.

From earlier in this very long thread...the CORRECT definition of TDS is ^here. All non-morons agree.

But they’ll cry real teardrops if they don’t get their wall!

Trump’s being sexually harassed; grab ‘im by the presidency!

So about asylum seekers and immigrants fleeing their country of origin...

Why not just grant everyone who seeks it asylum?

What is the drawback?

What is the cost?

If you do that and if you mandate E-Verify that would cut illegal immigration basically down to zero don’t you think?

The current policy of being very stringent at legal border crossings is encouraging more people to seek the illegal routes and come in undocumented and putting a bigger strain on border patrol.

False. Only a flaggy pole follower and his leader would say that. Hillary on the other hand...

No...NOT false. This isn't a partisan thing or a wish. Michael Cohen is going to prison in part due to the two FELONY campaign finance law violations he committed. He fingered Trump as the person who directed him to do it, and he is referred to as Individual-1 by the SDNY. Typically with felonies, the person directing the felony faces an even stiffer punishment than the one committing the felony (depending on circumstances of course). The DOJ has a policy of not indicting a sitting President. Pretty much all legal experts have said Trump would have been indicted along with Cohen if he were not President. He MIGHT not actually be going to prison right now though, but only because he MIGHT have fought the charge instead of pleading guilty like Cohen did.

This charge will be waiting for him when he is no longer President. There actually might be an indictment under seal right now.

You Trumpers seem to think there is magic surrounding Trump. There isn't.

I think the fear is that you would create a vast, unregulated black market for illegal labor - resulting in abuse and no tax collection. You generally don't want to give incentives to citizens to break laws...small law breaks snowball into larger ones and suddenly you live in a corrupt society.

Legal work permits are the better choice - keep it all legal, regulated, above the table, and collect taxes.

1) I have commented very little on the wall, and when I have, it has been about Trump insisting that Mexico would pay for it. So, there is nothing there to make me look "the fool" over.

2) Regarding anyone who looks stupid, you are assigning opinions and positions to me that I have not declared.

But, just for clarity sake, let's get some things straight.

1) Hillary and the Democrats have never been for a "big beautiful wall" made of "concrete and rebar".

2) Just because Hillary and Democrats voted for the Secure Fence Act in 2006 doesn't mean they are for a WALL or even additional fencing to the level that Trump wants.

3) No Democrat said Mexico would pay for a wall.

4) 2006 was 13 years ago. Just because someone is for something 13 years ago doesn't mean they still would be today given more and more options.

5) Hillary and the Democrats were never delusional by saying that the wall is so big it would be easier to climb Mount Everest than this wall. Where is a picture of this magnificent wall?

6) You assume that all Democrats are for anything that Democrats argue for or pass. I am actually NOT for much of the current fencing that is along the southern border. It is easily scaled for one thing, and it is placed in such a way that it puts some Americans SOUTH of the border fence, and some have to go through a secure gate to get to part of their property. The existing border fencing has created tons of "no man's land". What a waste.

7) We should be using more modern technology to stop illegal border crossings. We should give HUGE fines and prison sentences to people or businesses who knowingly or recklessly hire illegal workers.

8) The wall isn't a huge issue for me. I think it's a stupid idea. I think Trump is delusional in describing this wall. I think it was ill-conceived by him, and I knew Mexico would never pay for it. Mostly though...meh. The fact that he is a serial liar and a criminal of epic proportions is much more a clear and present danger.

Trumpettes are NOT Americans!

From that NYT story - this is what happens when a financial illiterate makes gigantic economic decisions for 330 million people.

it's nutso:

Mr. Trump’s focus on the trade deficit has resulted in a particular irony: By his own metric, the president is failing to right America’s global trading relationships. Yet many of the president’s harshest critics don’t blame him for this, saying that fluctuations in the trade deficit are largely beyond his control.

Mr. Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax cut also helped widen the trade deficit. To pay for the tax cuts, the government needed to borrow more dollars, some of which came from foreign investors. Foreigners got those dollars by selling more goods and services to Americans, which will widen the trade gap.
