Economy The [Wall / Government Shutdown] Megathread

[Seano]

hi there KONG-D'SNT-TAP,

first of all, how could a good guy like you have a yellow card?

secondly...when you consider the fact that the Democrats ran a phile ring out of a pizza parlor and that Hillary Clinton killed Vincent Foster with her bare hands (and the emails), its no wonder that Mr. Trump's supporters overlook his white lies.

what choice do they have?

While I love scathing snideness as much as the next guy, the Trump admin actually DID pen a new bill that REPLACES the Obama bill that was a failure. So technically, the tweet that was quoted seems like some sort of pathetic "brand loyalty" situation to me and deliberately ignores the facts of the new bill that was signed.

 

[IGIT]

It was still a failure as penned by the Obama admin.

hey there Seano,

from your link;

At a Senate news conference last month, Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Georgia, chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and a key sponsor of the bill, and Sen. Jon Tester, the ranking member of the committee, put the total costs at $55 billion, although other estimates have it at $52 billion.

Isakson acknowledged that the bill isn't paid for but said he is working with Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, to add funding for the bill that would likely balloon the deficit

cut that revenue and spend that money, then crucify a democratic POTUS for the deficit at a later date.

sounds about right.

Well you’re a good guy as well but i was very sassy to another poster and got told on. For everyone being such tough guys here they sure tattle a lot. However a guy like me has never reported even one poster in all my years here.


Can you still consider something a “white lie” when you use that same lie 50 times? lol.

I don’t know if I can answer that anymore

You’re like the Uncle Sam poster boy for trump supporters who live in a different reality from the rest of the country.

Sure thing, Rudy

You don't post much, Pete.

You alright?

no bullshit or jokes here.

Ann Coulter really puts the "horse faced old ghoul" in the phrase "she's a horse faced old ghoul".

If there's one thing I agree with, it's that Ann Coulter is a Horse Faced Old Ghoul.

She's a real fucking bitch.

Dems offered Trump $25B for the wall in exchange for DACA before the midterms

He accepted but reneged when Stephen Miller yelled at him

hi hi hi Polish Headlock,

ahhh, the results are coming in on Townhall.com, bastion of the Trump faithful.

they are pissed, lol.

a quick sampling from the comments section;

- So we needed 20-25 billion to build a real wall, Trump is willing to take 5 billion and the GOP folds on between 1 and 2 billion. This isn't an agreement it's a surrender !!!

- Trump should have found a way to build the Wall over the last two years
I think that would have involved being much less of d&ck so the GOP didn't get wiped out in 2018

- Would I be wrong if my first instinct was to think that the RINOs gave it all away?

- The Republicans never learn when it comes to immigration deals. The democrats always get everything, we get nothing.

- $1.3 to $2 billion for border fencing is a joke. No Art of the Deal going on there and surely not worth the concessions.

- Time to reinvent a new Conservative party.... am I wrong to think I smell a civil war in near future? And I don’t see liberal winning this one

- If you betray us again on the wall, that's it. Third time is NOT the charm...

- Make it $10B. Do not settle. Declare a nat'l emergency. The Dems' position on everything is to do whatever harms America. Oppose them with all you have.

so much saltiness.

i could be wrong, but i feel there's no way that the POTUS doesn't veto this deal.

It would be incredibly petty and kind of hilarious if Trump just reopened the government so he could hold the state of the union in the House, then shuts it again. Because you know he doesn't give a shit about the workers going without pay.

He actually thought that 4-Star Generals made $2M per year.

Democrats need to wake up and smell reality.

12-Nov-18, Trumps approval rating was 35% Strong approve 44% Strong disapprove 46% total approve 52% total disapprove.

11-Feb-19...today. Trumps approval rating is 39% (+4) Strong approve 39% (-4) Strong disapprove 52% (+6) total approve 47% (-5) total disapprove.

Thanks to the Dems idiocy, Trumps ratings have improved in all categories since the Dems went full retard over 5 billion dollars on the wall...their own supporters are more approving of Trump.

Keep telling yourself that as he doesn't get his way because there isn't support for his policies or his general antics.

His Art of the Deal abilities are just getting him less and less money with more and more restrictions on it. Now he has to go beyond just saying he'll veto a bill he's likely got to actively do it. Trying to dodge ownership of the shut down is going to be awfully difficult.

I don't really understand the "cap on detention beds." Seems absurd. I don't see the benefit to that.

Because giving ICE cart blanche has shown to lead to major abuses.

Keep telling yourself that.

Keep telling yourself that I am Rasmussen so you can keep justifying your TDS.

 

[glenwo2]

That was a definite high-point yesterday.

Today it's down to 50% which is still better than what O-DUMBO had.

 

[steveflynn]

Rasmussen is fake/very inaccurate polling and has been for years.

Rasmussen is fake/very inaccurate polling and has been for years.

Could've sworn many lib-tards here said it was the most accurate Poll around....when Trump's numbers were below 50%.

Imagine that.


And holy fuck, man! Almost 20,000 posts and you only have 400+ likes?

Damn! You're not very popular around here.

You mean the same Rasmussen that was used as proof of Trumps low approval rating and falling approval rating when the media needed a push for you TDS low brows last year?

Rasmussen has never been accurate regardless of what anyone says or has said. It's pretty widely known that this is so and a simple google search will confirm this.
