    I would find it hard to believe. I mean, Trump declared he alone can make anchor babies disappear but it's all crickets now.....

    Well the three largest support groups the right has are:
    1) the uneducated or undereducated
    2) people that literally believe in sky and fire fairies
    3) the silent generation who largely did nothing but benifit off of previous generations

    I get your message loud and clear.

    You along with Democrats are in the far superior class of human.

    Well as a former Democrat, I get why you think that. But education will solve your problem.

    I am ultra curious why Democrats approved it when Obama built 700 miles of wall and boasted he is the all time deporter king over all presidents. They loved it when he bragged that way.

    If that served the interest of the Senate majority? That's, again, a feature not a bug

    I know why you want to blame Democrats for the shutdown.

    You are smarter than Trump.

    Extreemely dubious. It's not like you can build a wall instantly, so there would be plenty of time for Congress and the Courts to intervene and stop.

    They did not love those facts. They just cited those facts against morons who tried to claim that Obama loved illegals or whatever nonsense.

    That you believe is a ‘feature’ for a single partisan hack in congress from bringing to the floor something that would likely pass to avoid embarrassing the executive branch tells worlds about the agenda here.
    This is not what the founders intended.
    This is not democracy.

    The founders didn't intend democracy, they intended a republic. They intended a bi cameral legislature, whose houses have different purposes and powers.


    Have you considered that in the case of a divided government this was exactly what was intended?

    Yes, and a million other variations on the theme you can conjure. The House and Senate make their own rules and choose their own leaders. Can it be any other way?

    No.

    Nor am I cool show "security".

    Nor non essential govt.

    But Im especially not cool with a porous border.

    Still, Dems prefer this (while they still pay welfare to people who dont work) to border security.

    So be it.

    Pretty soon, those border agents will need welfare to survive because Trump didn't keep his promise.

    It's 100% democracy! With the exception of a few small enclaves or societies around the world the US House and Senate are the only pure democracies in existence.

    Take the government out of the military industrial complex and see how well the economy does then.

    Without the multibillion dollar bailout the farms would have been screwed. Imagine what they will be like when the government dole stops.

    Then why do politicians, talking heads, political analysts, law professors, and media often say "our democracy...."? Could it be that we have a representative democracy?
