Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Johnny, wise up. "invading hordes" have you ever worked on the border? No, well I have (Texas). You'd be shocked how many cross the border night after night after night. Not just California, it's Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.

You got suckered or simply aren't as smart as you think you are. Which is it?

You're post shows your stupidity at best. Hillary Clinton wanted the same thing, where were then when she voted for it?

Sissy boy liberal, a dime a dozen.

LOL! Nice! How can anyone take the Trump admin seriously when they say this is for “national security” when the Northern border is left totally unsecured? Unlike our Southern Border we have actually seen cases of real terrorists (not vague innuendo terrorists) trying to cross the Northern Border.

This wall is to appease Trumps base—pure and simple. If it were a serious attempt to address National Security the they would also insist on a Northern Border. To be clear—this is a political move to satisfy the many, many racists in Trump’s base who are only calling for a southern border wall because most of the people coming across are the “wrong” color—i.e. brown.

Is there a betting website where I can place bets on how long this shutdown is going to last? What do we think is the over/under?

I'm saying 30 days total

the eminent domain alone would take 50 years to get through. The environmental lawsuits another 25. The other lawsuits 20. The maintenance of the wall would be 100 billion dollars. When mosst people come over in planes.

It's a total joke.

Nice to know that Repubs are in favor of the state taking property away from private citizens tho. Weird peeps, republicans. They seem to want the federal government to have maximum power.

Fat Hurts,

You have said recently that Trump is going to prison. I think that is possible, but I'm not yet willing to make that call as I see too many ways for him to avoid it.

What do you believe is the path for him to end up in prison? Just looking to be educated here.

Thanks.

I believe he will be indicted and convicted of one or more felonies.

Mueller's findings will not be buried. Tiny's toadies in the DOJ might try. But there will be such public outcry to know the truth that the truth will have to come out.

I believe that Tiny can not pardon himself and I don't think Pence will pardon him.

Even if he somehow escapes federal prosecution, the state of New York is likely to come after him.

There are just too many ways to build a strong case against him right now. At least one is bound to be successful. I think it would take a legal Houdini to save him, but Tiny doesn't have anyone that talented on his team.

Remember, there are four ways for an autocrat like Tiny to leave office:

1) Dies in office

2) Thrown in prison

3) Flees to exile

4) Taken out back and shot

I think #2 is most likely, but all four are plausible.

Hi agip! Hi Fat Hurts! Someone responded with your request and here come the excuses. Liberals lie and you just proved it.

I'm not making excuses at all. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone refer to Tiny as a 'good guy'. It's an interesting tidbit. Thanks to whoever posted it.

Of course, that's a very rare sentiment, which is why it made news when Boehner said it. But it is indeed the kind of thing I was asking for.

Could Trump be impeached while the government is partially shut down?

Hard to negotiate with him while trying to take him out.

He may want to keep it closed for the next two years as a distraction.

Yes he could.

If you really do work on the border, you might know the following:

1. the number of illegal immigrants in this country has been steadily declining since 2007.

2. unemployment is at a historic low, so illegal immigrants aren't taking anyone's job.

3. the crime rate among illegal immigrants is lower than the overall crime rate.

4. more people are in this country illegally after entering legally and overstaying their visa than those who cross the border illegally.

Trump has never been serious about tackling illegal immigration. If anything, he's screwed it up even more by ending DACA and taking kids away from their families. But his approach got him a lot of votes.

Fixed it for ya buddy!

But Republicans are just the opposite, so I fixed it for you. They want less government. Seems you've switched sides without knowing it.

But he won't, and you all know that. Pipe dream at best.

Come on fellas, really think about it. Trump isn't going to jail.

I'm slightly right of center, not extreme. Regardless, this is one of the fairest responses that I've seen in 100's of pages. Imagine if FP reacted like that???

Yes, I really do.

And---please don't go off those stats, they do not tell the real story. They will come in and they will find work, believe me on that and I know the work that they'll do and approximate locations.

Heck, I was in San Diego for a short stint and went to the border with inquisitive friends from the Midwest. They were shocked at what they saw.

You get past San Clemente, last real checkpoint on the 5, you're in as it's rare for someone in L.A. to be hassled at all---think politics.

Granted, things may have changed slightly as I have been in that exact area for a long time, but San Clemente was it.

Yes, we all know he won't be impeached during the shutdown. If the house Dems have half a brain, they won't impeach unless and until senate R's are ready to go along with it. Don't hold your breath.

As for Tiny going to prison, I find it to be pretty likely as I just stated above.

But let me tell you a little more about why I think that.

You see, Tiny is a white collar criminal. He's been into a lot of very crooked stuff for a very long time. And he continues to flout the law because he has always gotten away with it.

White collar criminals are almost never prosecuted. That is because it is very expensive and complicated to bring cases against them.

But politicians are the exception. Politicians who commit white collar crime are in the public eye and we all want to see crooked politicians exposed. So the complexity and expense are outweighed by the public's demand for justice.

When Tiny became a politician, the rules of the game changed. The deck is now stacked against him.

Tiny is going to prison.

House Democrats prepare vote to reopen government, as cracks appear in GOP opposition

— [So far] two Senate Republicans broke with Trump and party leaders on their shutdown strategy, saying it was time to end the impasse even if Democrats won’t give Trump $5B.
