    Ok, so Trump makes a claim, and no further proof is needed.

    The mindset of a loyalist......

    I deserve credit for the 289 "accomplishments".

    End of story. I win!

    If you have a medical disorder please let me know and I'll overlook your response. I said I read the first one, it was silly, and so ignored the other two . Don't waste my time!

    Oh dear. I provided links showing that catapults are being used to throw drugs across border walls

    If it was noticed by border guards then why would you need a wall? Don't tell me, you think these catapults are like the medieval type capable of throwing 300 pound weights

    I won't waste your time by quoting experts ever again.

    I sincerely apologize for trying to use facts and experts' opinions in a way which intrudes upon your ideological beliefs.

    Just as I thought. you did not bother to read the links - there was no setting up needed as catapults were already installed on top of vehicles!

    Even hand held catapults could fire one pound packages over 50 foot walls every two seconds. I had a toy catapult in the style of the Lone Ranger when I was a child that could easily clear two storey buildings

    What 'proof' do you require? Claims were made in the media and you can prove them wrong, if you can. It's done by intelligent and rational people all the time - but you can't do it.

    I'll take credit for them. Since I made the claim, no further proof is needed.

    Not that any of this has anything to do with the topic.

    Catapults do work in slinging drugs over a wall, but they won't be needed because the design of the wall allows the narcos to simply pass the drugs through the slats in the wall.

    Twas a "national emergency"
    When all through the place
    Not a creature was stirring
    Not even Sarah Sanders, a national disgrace
    The stockings were all hung
    by the chimney with care
    In the hopes that St. Bonespurs soon would be there (with a tax cut)
    AFM was nestled all snug in his bed
    While visions of Jim Acosta
    Danced in his head.

    Stop, the comedy is too much. You guys should try improv.

    Catapults on top of vehicles launching kilos of coke over the border wall. Would the be called cokapults. That’s hilarious.

    While Democrats remain indifferent. What's happening is just incredible.

    Yes, because they raped and pillaged the country and left on a jet plane.

    And that lack of caring for the lives of US citizens is carried through on CNN/MSNBC.
