The Senate majority can change the rules of the Senate at any time and has done so on several occasions in recent years to eliminate the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, among other things. If Trump really wanted the Wall that badly, he would have forced McConnell to drop the filibuster on other issues. They didn't value it highly enough to prevent Republicans from filibustering Democrats after the Senate changes hands.

Also our elected officials work for who? Us, the People. If The People really wanted this wall built I suppose The People would have elected more government officials sympathetic to that cause. In fact states on the border actually elected officials not very sympathetic to that cause AND the citizens of the state with the longest stretch of border are vehemently opposed to such a barrier.

Not many single issue voters out there.

You're right about the 60 votes, but I don't think many Republicans, at least privately, really believe in Trump's wall. Some are certainly outspoken in their support, but reasonable conservatives are fully aware of the reality on the southern border.

About a million sentences could begin with "Trump should have..."

Why did lots of Democrats want the Wall and then lie about it?

...crickets...

Democrats and Republicans voted for a bill to fund fencing on parts of the border. Right or wrong. But comparing it to Trump's vision of a wall is not comparing apples to apples. Both parties do agree on border security, but how to do it is not always agreed upon. It's a hot button political issue. Most drugs are smuggled through ports of entry, flown in, or along coastal areas. Most known terrorists have arrived in the US via the Canadian border. Why not build a wall up north? The 9/11 terrorists mostly flew into the US or crossed via Canada.

Again, why didn't Republicans vote to fully fund the wall when they controlled both the House and Senate?

That's a simple question and Trumpers continue to avoid it.

The fencing approved by Democrats was budgeted at $5M per mile and Trump wants $25 per mile so, no, Democrats did not want the "Wall"

Flagpole,

Don't listen to the jealous haters.

You've mentioned your prowess on the piano. Where can I find some of your work? Do you have any albums out?

I will appease you.

Most of the work I have done over the years is in bands or stuff I don't own the rights to (session work), but I will share some randomly chosen original stuff that I happen to have on this computer with you.

Surface - completely instrumental -- piano and shakuhachi.

Funk Mountain -- just FUNK, brother. [instrumental]

Can you be any more uncool - Working on my falsetto. [keyboard and singing]

You're Blue -- worst recording of them all, but keyboard and singing.

Ooof. My 8 year-old on Garage Band must be #49.

all that is true, but for people asking why the Rs didn't buy a wall when they had both branches of congress, the best answer is the 60 votes needed. A secondary answer is what you are saying - they didnt' want to blow up the fillibuster to get the wall.

Interesting that the fillubuster is not in the constitution, was never used for the first 50 or so years of the Republic, and then rarely used until the 1970s. it's not really as important to the Senate as some think.

You're right about the 60 votes, but I don't think many Republicans, at least privately, really believe in Trump's wall. Some are certainly outspoken in their support, but reasonable conservatives are fully aware of the reality on the southern border.

Only an unamerican c uck would be this out of touch. Trump is the POTUS because we all want the wall. That’s called a direct relationship you liberal maggot.

Ok. To each his own, brother.

However, I hope the music you posted was a joke. It was really bad. Perhaps your session stuff is better, but the music you posted was really, really awful.

was that really you on the recordings?

Unless this is a parody account you appear to be a complete moron.

I'm sorry you don't consider hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring into our country an "emergency." Maybe you should withhold calling others morons until you can see how moronic you sound.

So you've fallen for this bs hook line and sinker. Much of his own party who had the chance to vote for the mighty wall when they had a majority in the House chose not to do so. Yeah. I'm doubling down on my thoughts about you.

I thought it was quite good.

Music appreciation is subjective, but I've played professionally for more than 30 years...solo, in bands, session work, keyboards, guitar, singing...classically trained.

Narcissistic personality disorder? Yeah, I'll give you that one. No avoiding that diagnosis.

The funny thing is that he and Trump have VERY similar personalities.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing.

Nobody dares to answer my questions about the vanity wall.

Why was there no emergency a year ago?

Why was there no emergency two years ago?

If this has been a national emergency for so long then Individual-1 should be impeached for the high crime of endangering our nation by his dereliction of duty.

-- Because Dems did not control anything.

-- Because Trump was busy figuring out how to bill the government as much as possible for his golf trips.

-- Trump's sources for pilfered money for the wall have proven to be fake news. That money has mostly been spent. He knew that money was not actually available. The only emergency was Trump needing to rabidize his base on minions, something which was necessary after Repubs got pounded in the 2018 midterms.

So in your mind the illegal aliens aren't real? The people killed by illegal aliens aren't real? You are sure one strange dude. If that was your son or daughter I think you might be singing a different tune. You're disgusting.
