    He shut down the government and then got less than he shut it down for.

    Brilliant strategy. Although I think he can legally get more funds from drug and gang budgets.

    But I doubt that will stop the legal challenges. The wall brawl will continue.

    How can a wall be immoral?

    Six new miles of concrete and steel wall are being built now along the Rio Grande supplemented by detection technology, lighting, video surveillance, and an all-weather patrol road parallel to the barrier.

    In the endgame in 2020 President Trump can point out that the obstructionist Democrats put illegal aliens and having open borders as being more important than government employees and Americans on food stamps.

    So the Dems finally admitted to being immoral. Thats a good start. Personally, I would rather keep them out of the US and fund beds for our citizens living on the streets.

    I tried that, no such proclamation. Did you think that would work?

    Not so. In fact, the country is winning because dumbo didn't get a big, dumb, useless wall, but we are getting improved border security measures that will actually work. If only Dumbo had sought that during his two years on easy street, when the House and Senate would have given him just about anything on a silver platter, eh?

    You're right my friend, PMSNBC wants president Trump to succeed in everything he does, not to fail. I stand corrected :oldman:

    Forever!? Very long time!! And let us talk family values. You mean like Bill Clinton and now oral sex to generations to come is no longer sex because he did not have sex with that woman? You mean that kind of family values? Disgusting in comparison to Donald Trump! And I will take Trump over that killer Hillary Clinton (the epitome of EVIL) any day of the week and every day of my life!

    Billy boy and the great cheeto are birds of a feather. The difference isn't them, when Billy was president at least you could claim the moral position of family values . Now that ability is gone FOREVER.
    Now Hillary's a killer?
    Show me don't tell me. I don't take your word foe ANYTHING.

    Yesterday he said he was going to put some add ons and tweaks to improve the bill. Have those details been made public yet?

    Bill Clinton didn't brag about his adultery on radio, television and magazines.

    In between the cheap shots, you make a good point. Maybe he wants to recycle the campaign promise and use it again on 2020!

    I guess Trump is witless too then for not thinking this on his own. He should spend less time on Twitter like an idiotic teenager and spend more time studying the issues.

    Whatever happened to his "I'm going to end anchor baby citizenship with my pen" nonsense before recent election cycle? He is just another politician yapping his mouth.

    Trump wanted 5 billion and only got 1.4 which is going toward fixing existing fences, not a new wall.

    LOL. You weren't complaining the 8 years the Cons in Congress did nothing but obstruction.

    Irrelevant since zero wall funding was provided by the House.

    I agree, since when did it become our responsibility to house, feed, and care for foreigners illegally entering our country? We don't even do that for our own citizens, or for those who enter legally.

    Our ludicrous immigration system is the greatest threat we face as a nation, and it's only getting worse as each day passes.
