Isn't declaring a national emergency the same as declaring martial law?

    Why don’t you care about the welfare of US citizens. ?? This is the albatross around the neck of the Democratic Party.

    That's right; it's about keeping the American people safe. I reckon, with my 2020 foresight, that this will win him a huge majority. However, because of his many other accomplishments, he'd likely have won anyway.

    It seems as if the Democratic Party has a death wish. Time after time they side against the welfare of US citizens.

    Sure. "I am from the government, and I am here to protect you, I just need your money to do it".

    You are too easily played.

    United States.

    We built 600 miles of walls, and according to Trump things are worse than ever.

    The ground under the Israeli walls are like swizz cheese with tunnels.

    The conservative part of GOP disagrees with you.

    Christopher Steele got these reports from the Russians (Collusion) and were paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Although Steele said they were not accurate they were later used by the DOJ and FBI to gain FISA warrants and spy on the opposition party. That goes well past 'collusion' and into a full conspiracy.

    What is more important than national security?

    Why do you think it makes you look "clever" to post false narratives?

    As though building 55 miles of bullshit means we're "protecting Americans, and stuff!".

    You look foolish and desperate making these posts; true Americans who are proud of and value our institutions, traditions and the rule of law are disgusted by Bonespurs taking a dump on those things. Man up, sycophant.

    And you feel that will likely go unnoticed, huh?

    We both know why but it needs to be said again.

    These 'undocumented Democrats' crossing the border will vote for the party that allowed them to cross and give them the free stuff they've come to expect. It is not a complicated strategy. There's even Mexican flags appearing at the tear down the immoral wall rallies and they'll soon be wearing 'Make America Just Like Mexico' hats.

    And of course these guys (like Jim Acosta) completely miss the point that if drug runners would be willing to bring a catapult to launch over a fence that there would be orders of magnitude more drugs walked over an open border at that location. And as you point out the sensors, drones, and additional border patrol personnel which come with the fence would pick up this catapult activity long before any drugs were launched.

    What the poster said was true. Do you have a serious counter argument?

    That's ridiculous. The places where we have built walls clearly show that they work. The Israeli wall on there southern border has reduced illegal immigration to zero.

    And again we see that the Democratic Party does not care about the welfare of US citizens. The money coming from the DOD military construction and drug enforcement budgets allocated by the legislative branch is spent per direction of the executive branch. In this case Trump is spending the money for national security and for drug enforcement directly in line with the legislatively allocated funding of the DOD.

    What's disgusting is the lack of concern by the Democratic Party for the lives of US citizens.

    These same people who claim walls are too low tech and medieval are now claiming that catapults might work. 'Irony' doesn't come close to describing this idea but I've only had my first cup of coffee and it's the best I can do.

    Who cares ?? The freedom caucus and their foils in the Senate are responsible for the fact that ObamaCare was not repealed and replaced.

    Reminds me of an episode of the Vikings. How long did it take for the catapults to be set up ?? Next they will argue that drug cartels will be charging the wall with large logs suspended from a framework and swung at the wall to break a hole through it.

    I am now convinced that you are Jim Acosta who stood in front of a border wall and claimed that walls don't work and there was no crisis because illegal immigrants were not massing on the other side of the wall. Too funny.

    Intelligence gathering is not collusion.. Steele did that for the British government for years. He was an expert on Russia.

    "Many other accomplishments"?

    Like what? Not completely derailing 9 year old economic trends? Racking up the federal deficit? Following conservative TV talking heads' instructions? Violating the emoluments clause? Tweeting moronic rants? Giving stream of conscious "speeches"?

    Exactly.

    By his reckoning, international trade is "collusion", too.
