President Trump says Republicans 'wasting their time' on border security talks

It appears this is what prompted this latest stuff from Trump:



For those of you who don't know...this is "Normandy fencing":

So...this is the kind of barrier/wall/fencing/whateveryoucallit that Pelosi is okay with?

Yeah...Trump should tell her to piss up a rope.


Pssst. Mycroft....

 
Trump is back to a 'wall' not a fence - not a barrier - but the original concept of a big beautiful concrete wall. I just listened to him taking question from the press. He stated that he's not going to accept a 'fence', it's going to be a wall and he doesn't even need Congress to do it. He also stated; "the wall is already being built although nobody is reporting it, but that's okay, it's being built right now."

I have a distinct feeling he's going to announce a state of emergency during his SOTU address, and use the military funding plus order troops to the border to help build it.

President Trump says Republicans 'wasting their time' on border security talks


WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump expressed skepticism Thursday that a congressional committee will agree to his demands for a border wall, raising the specters of another government shutdown or an "emergency declaration" sure to be challenged in court.


Tweeting that "Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time," Trump said that "Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL."


Trump did not specifically cite the prospects of another shutdown or an emergency declaration, but told Republicans "I’ve got you covered" because the "wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!"
He did not elaborate.

Trump is the man! Pelosi, sadly for democrats, is not the man.

Trump is a political infant, a chubby man-baby. He's as soft and malleable as he appears to be in the hands of the supremely competent, experienced, mother of five, Nancy Pelosi.

You sound just like Hillary did before Trump spanked her bad bottom in the last election.

'spanked her'...........only with the enormous financial assistance and the tremendous effort of hundreds of Russian troll farms cranking out a misinformation and slanderous campaign against her. Were it not for Russia's help, he would still be back on Fifth Avenue happily doing his dirty Russian money laundering business.
 
Pssst. Mycroft....



LOL!!

The guy in your video is clearly acting. Are you saying Pelosi is just acting like she is mentally incompetent?

But hey...I get your point. Ladders. People fall off ladders, you know.



Falling off a 30' ladder will kill you.

Yeah right :lol: There is no evidence that Russian interference had any effect on the election. Hillary was a pathetic candidate that thought she was entitled and got outworked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections

The Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election with the goal of harming the campaign of Hillary Clinton, boosting the candidacy of Donald Trump, and increasing political discord in the United States. Russia's covert activities were first reported by the United States Intelligence Community in October 2016, and confirmed by the Director of National Intelligence office three months later. Former FBI director Robert Mueller has been leading a Special Counsel investigation into the interference since May 2017.

Russian interference proceeded along two main vectors. First, the Internet Research Agency "troll farm", based in Saint Petersburg, created hundreds of social media accounts impersonating Americans supporting radical groups, planning and promoting rallies, and reaching millions of social media users between 2013 and 2017. According to criminal indictments by the Special Counsel, those messages and activities "spread distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general", for example by discouraging African Americans from voting or by motivating conservative voters wary of Trump.

Second, hackers affiliated with the Russian military intelligence service (GRU) penetrated computer systems of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and Clinton campaign officials, notably chairman John Podesta. Tens of thousands of private emails and attachments were released to the public during the final months of the campaign, via DCLeaks, Guccifer 2.0 and Wikileaks. The exposed information revealed internal bias against Clinton's primary challenger Bernie Sanders, which led to the resignation of the DNC chair and lukewarm backing of Clinton by Sanders supporters. Russian government officials have repeatedly denied involvement in any DNC hacks or leaks. In addition to these two operations, Russia-connected individuals reached out to various Trump campaign associates, offering damaging information on Clinton or business opportunities.

The Russian interference activities triggered strong statements from American intelligence agencies, a direct warning by then-U.S. president Barack Obama to Russian president Vladimir Putin, renewed sanctions against Russia, closures of Russian diplomatic facilities and expulsion of their staff. The Senate and House Intelligence Committees have held several hearings.

The FBI and Special Counsel conducted investigations resulting in indictments of twenty-six Russian agents and three Russian organizations. The Special Counsel also has been investigating links between Russia and Trump associates, which has resulted in indictments of Rick Gates and Roger Stone, and convictions of Paul Manafort (chairman of Trump's election campaign), Michael Flynn (senior adviser to Trump), George Papadopoulos (Trump campaign's foreign policy adviser), Alex van der Zwaan, W. Samuel Patten (who laundered Russian money through the Trump inauguration committee), and Michael Cohen (Donald Trump's personal lawyer). Trump has called the interference a "hoax", contending it was an excuse by Democrats for losing the election. He dismissed FBI Director James Comey over the issue.
 
Well good, that means there is no need for another government shutdown and the one Trump just did for over 30 days he admits was worthless.

There's that, but also the point of declaring an emergency can be challenged legally so there's no guarantee that would work either. One would imagine he would have used that option if it was going to guarantee a result.

"Hundreds of Russian troll farms" bought space on Facebook to slander poor Hillary by exposing her own dirty secrets in her own dirty emails? I see someone has been led down the crooked path of stupid democrat deception.

I know it must be painful to admit when you've been on the wrong side of history for more than two years, but eventually you're going to have to admit that facts are truths and propaganda is fake news.

Yeah I want to bet. Show me where it had an effect on the outcome of the election like you said.
