Nevermind the fact that if a wall is built, an additional Coast Guard presence would likely be needed to intercept those who decide to take a boat from Tijuana to California, or Reynosa/etc to South Padre Island, or wherever the heck they decide to land.

Excellent point.

A wall doesn't mean anything. The most common method of illegal immigration is to use one of a number of ways to get into the country legally, then over-stay.

If Trump tries the illegal drugs story, most of that is shipped inside shipping container traffic, buried in thousands of containers going back-and-forth between America's top-5 trading partner.

I think the wall needs a gold-plated "trump" sign. It's the ultimate sign of excess/vanity/stupidity/uselessness.

Not really. It's a part of statecraft. The goal is to influence policy, which was accomplished.

- The Republican platform was revised to permit Russia to expand into Ukraine.

- It looks like Trump was/is ready to drop a long list of current Russian sanctions in the U.S.

- It looks like Trump was ready to argue for the UN sanctions to be dropped.

Was this all some kind of carefully constructed Trump conspiracy? No. Given the murky financial links Trump has with Russian money, he's likely richer for it, and therefore quite indifferent about being manipulated.

Whose statecraft? Russia or Trump?

my personal opinion is that Trujmp likes russia primarily because he sees in them a country equally terrified of Muslims and willing to do something about it. With violence.

and trump has sad he admires authoritarian leaders.

I suspect trump has a financial interest in keeping russia happy, but I don't know. Trump is an expert in managing unhappy creditors. My fear is that trump plays politics like he plays a real estate financiing. And causes great instability.

I used to laugh at crappy countries like Russia when their officals lied all the time, but now we're as bad as any of them.

So embarassed for America.

Flagpole wrote I stayed away for awhile for a few reasons, but none of them had to do with being wrong that Trump would win.

Before you go back into hiding I would like to know if you know why Trump won?

She brought nothing of the kind to the table, why do you think ol Billy Boy needs to look elsewhere? truth be told, she brought nothing to the table except same old, same old.

NYT changes the headline because wiretap is not a good word choice now. And just like that, the news is rewritten.

In tiny letters and almost transparent:

"A version of this article appears in print on January 20, 2017, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides."

For Liberals, reality is rewritten from one hour to the next based on what story they need to push their agenda. It's fun to watch once you know what to look for.

Right out of Orwell's 1984.

You can't make this up.

Here is the incredibly bias Snopes claiming that:

The New York Times contradicted their 20 January 2017 report about wire tapping in an article entitled "Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones."

is FALSE.

And just like that, with just some left wing opinion, they dismiss the headline

Here is their proof:

---

Cooper: Does your reporting in any way suggest the claim the president is making that President Obama tapped then-candidate trump’s phone?

Rosenberg: Nowhere in this story does it say that. It says that there is a broad investigation based on wiretapped and intercepted communications. It does not say whose communications were intercepted.

When Rosenberg was pressed on the issue by CNN commentator Jeffrey Lord, he responded that “only the most obtuse misreading” of the article would lead one to conclude that Donald Trump was under surveillance.

---

Nevertheless, the NYT decided to rewrite the headline, because you know, everyone is obtuse.

your thesis is that changing a headline from "wiretapped" to "intercepted communications" (and noting the change) is orwellian?

please explain. I don't understand your "reasoning"

why do you see that as horrendous journalism?

did you even read the snopes article?

do you understand that if info about trump was found from a wiretap...it could have been from a wiretap on a russian spy at his embassy, not on Trump Tower? Communication is two ways. you can tap end A or end B. Oh forget it.

Do you even try to think through these things? Clearly not.

why I even try to teach you things, I don't know.

$hitlery lost lil' buddy. Liberalism has been DECIMATED😂❗

More than 6,000 people have died trying to cross the southern boarder since 2000, in no small part due to our boarder patrol's "deterrence" tactics.

There are plenty of other methods we could use to deter illegal immigration that aren't viscerally unpleasant, of course, but Republicans have absolutely no interest in any of them. While they'll happily sign off on any measure that makes the lives of the people who come here illegally slightly more miserable, they will not be and have not been bothered to lift a single finger against the industries and employers that have been beckoning them here for years and profiting off of their labor. Enforcing wage laws and combating worker misclassification is for tyrannical administrative states. The prospect of raising wages so that Americans are incentivized to work jobs that only the truly desperate will do is opposed vehemently at every turn.

Considering that the fantasy of rounding up anyone who is here illegally without exceptions makes Trump voters genuinely gleeful, you have to wonder if death and human suffering on a scale like this is something they see as at least somewhat desirable rather than a terrible consequence of upholding "law and order". This basic mean-spiritedness also appears to be their primary motivator when it comes to healthcare as well.

You obviously don't even know what Orwellian refers to.
