    Obama couldn't sign his own bills either...so by your thinking, the failed ACA - not what Obama had initially promised - is on others who opposed it and wouldn't sign the bill he wanted.

    Sometimes you have to invest a little to gain in the end. The Fed helped the Obama economy by keeping near zero interest rates. They are now balancing out the rates, too fast IMO, which will slow the markets.

    I may be wrong, but I think with the heat from conservative commentators, his base, and the Freedom Caucus forcing Trump to backtrack on his previous veto backtrack, we will now see an earmark for "border security" rather than a "wall." This "border security" earmark will allow Trump to sign a budget. He will tell his base a wall is funded, but the wall will never get built. Trump does not want a wall. He likes cheap labor like other rich people.

    I agree with what you say other than the money pit comment. All politicians other than the Rand Paul types love money pits. I gather you work for the Federal government as your comments indicate the reality of how things work in my experience as a retired Fed.

    Wow.

    American Renaissance (AR or AmRen) is a monthly white supremacist online publication founded and edited by Jared Taylor

    Why is it that whenever someone at PF links to a White Supremacist Website it is ALWAYS a RW Trump Supporter defending Trump's Agenda?

    Can anybody remember a LW/Ind linking to a White Supremacist Website?

    Very troubling to see such RACIST BS contaminating threads at PF.

    Trump made a big mistake, and his "defense" is led by a White Supremacist Website?

    Wow. :smfh:

    Considering every Democrat signed it and there was nothing Republicans could do to stop it, well...its all on Democrats. Sorry. The ACA was his baby. Trumps wall was just something he wanted to do with VERY little support in the first place. Can't lie about the funding of a wall that was never built or money never collected or spent.

    Most Americans don't want Trump's wall that he repeatedly and vehemently promised that Mexico would pay for, but I see no reason why Trump can't privately fund his otherwise unattainable erection if Texas property owners are willing to be paid off as if they were his loose-lipped bimbos.

    If Trump®U alumni want to cough up a boodle, why not?

    That is preferable to having Trump's federal bureaucrats seizing their private property by eminent domain.

    Most undocumented immigrants will continue to enter the US legally and overstay visas. A wall may somewhat increase those opting for that preferred method.

    What about the 10 billion they just sent to Mexico or the 221 million they sent to the palestinians?

    It seems like the last people a Democrat wants to help with American tax dollars are Americans here in America.

    You don't like sending money to Jews I know. You send it to the palestinians' and Mexico. As far as I'm concerned none of them should get a dime until Americans here in America are taken care of.

    Just as expected you played the "Jew" part. Pathetic. I don't want to waste money on a country that is prosperous and can support itself. Israel haven't done a thing for us except getting our soldiers killed on their behalf. And who said I'm for sending our money ANYWHERE??

    As long as the money is spent in America I really don't care what it is spent on.

    Universal health care isn't for the universe though. It should only be for the American people who are paying for it. They should not be forced to ration their care with the rest of the world like the democrats are trying to impose.

    Democrat super star Gavin newsome believes that anyone and everyone from anywhere on Earth should be able to get free health care paid for by Americans as long as they can make it here.

    The palestinians who chant death to America are not the people I would send a to.

    The Mexicans are not the people I would send aid to either.

    How about the giant homeless cities outside of LA and San Francisco?

    Funny but Steel is about the same price now as it was in August 2017.

    You no doubt will correct your comments.
