    Yes, because building 55 miles of wall will makes us all safe!

    Yes, Steele worked for British Intelligence for many years and during that period made a lot of Russian contacts. He used those contacts to create the fake dossier. The Russians were paid for that work and so was Steele when it was completed, and it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC, via Fusion GPS, who paid for it.

    None of that information was given to the FISA Court despite everyone involved knowing it was illegitimate. Even Peter Strzok admitted there was "No there there". This has become public knowledge so it's now safe to move on to the next phase, which will likely include those involved being punished for abusing their authority.

    Instead of guessing at recent history why not just do some research instead? It's not difficult. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...-in-just-20-months-relentless-promise-keeping

    That rag? I read the "article"; I was prescient in predicting that it would give him credit for things he had nothing to do with. A stuffed chimp could be President and boast the same pretend accomplishments. And the tax cuts? They're proving to be a disaster.

    It is not ridiculous. We built 600 miles of wall and it did not fix anything, and Israelis keep finding "attack tunnels" under their walls. You are repeating Trump's propaganda, which only shows how easy it is to play certain people.

    Israel's Army Says It Found Tunnels Dug By Hezbollah Beneath Border With Lebanon

    More manufacturing jobs returning is a disaster? More minority employment than at any time in US history is a 'disaster'. Why are you against minorities?

    Conservatives care. You don't care, because you are not conservative.

    Trump had nothing to do with that, my friend.

    I got my shoveling done--and it happened while Bonespurs was in the WH! I think he deserves credit for that!

    Read my preceding post.

    Let Hezbollah spend their time digging tunnels. It will keep them busy and they'll later be destroyed. Read your own link.

    "He adds that military officials are urging people to go about their business as normal, saying the tunnels are not in use".

    Research by reading a severely biased publication :applause: Did you know Trump admin gave that "MAGA List" to Washington Examiner, who published it "as is"? No questions asked. They also published the prayer-rug saga, which turned out to be BS.

    You can't be so easily played.

    You're providing Obama's opinion and pretending it's fact? Don't be ridiculous.

    Not only that, but it's beyond absurd to believe that a President magically controls the economy.

    You obviously didn't read the publications. They quote real life economists! What a revelation!

    Yes, I read it, and I posted it because it proved my point.

    ""This is the first day of the operation," he added. "We assume that it will take quite a long time to expose and destroy all of these tunnels. We will continue to do so until all of the tunnels are destroyed."

    If it's "severely biased' here's your chance to dispute 289 of their claims.

    My lab just pooped a sock! Yay, Trump!

    Read the publications.Pronto!

    Have you posted anything suggesting that presidents control the economy? Nope. Give it a whirl, because that's what you're claiming.

    You're right. I read the first one, saw it was silly, so ignored the rest. Send something legit and I'll look at it but please don't waste my time.

    Me dispute them? No, the burden of proof is on those making the claims.

    But what's the point. The list was given to the paper by Trump admin, and by now we know you'll believe anything they say.

    You'd be surprised how many Americans do not want to live in bananarepublic.

    They've made their claims already and they're there for the world to see. What further proof do you need?

    Weak.

    Criticizing things that you haven't even read. You're becoming Trump's soulmate.

    Bonespurs deserves as much credit for a 9 year trend as Garfield the cat.

    You'd do well living in Niger; they too hate 1-percenters and no longer have any :)
