    Conversely, if the only thing YOU are willing to see are Obama's 'successes', then the only thing you will see are wins for Obama -- and his 'catch-and-release' polices, his policies of allowing tens of thousands of so-called 'immigrant children' to be sequestered here with abundant welfare provided by U. S. taxpayers, and the establishment of "Sanctuary Cities" and "Sanctuary States" in parts of the country infested by radical, America-hating DEMOCRATS!

    Drug cartels?

    I have answered that enough times already. Do your homework.


    Who created immigration policies that allowed them in?

    Your party did. In fact your heroes Reagan and Bush offered unconditional amnesty. Not only do they love the Mafiosis, they also love draft dodgers from Israel and Russia.



    While patriotic Democrats offered to improve safeguards at ports of entry, your hero Trump refused to approve and only offered a wall to keep out the poor. Thus, while the poor are kept out, the Mafiosi types that your anti-USA side loves so much stay here and menace our society.

    You win the prize for oxymoron of the day (probably of the month, too), Mr. "Truth".... I'm trying to remember the last time I was aware of the existence of a "patriotic Democrat"! I think it was about mid-summer of 1970 -- but none after that.

    The "Mafia"? They've been a problem that's greater than Latin American drug cartels? REALLY?! Oh, now, that's "truth" if I ever heard it.... :roflol:

    Like I said before, you're fooling only fools -- but you'll be kept busy a long time because we have LOTS of them in the United States....

    Border patrol catches the drugs there...they don’t always on places where there is not as much security as the port of entry...hence why border patrol says barriers are key. He also wants more funding for more technology etc..all and above he wants.

    Trump has disrespected males and females alike. Other than the venting of hurt feelings, this is yet another nothing sandwich. Trump will get his message out one way or another. This move does nothing.

    He will get his message out at the State of the Union only after the government is re-opened. And that is a change which means plenty.

    Also, his message has done nothing to date. Support for him, his wall, and whether he should be blamed for the shutdown continues to trend in a negative direction.

    and Trump and the GOP have been on board with that. But the Port of Entry are just a handful of already secured areas....we have hundreds of miles of areas not secured...that's need it as well

    So the only difference is whether or not it is official. I agree with waiting until after the shutdown, but in the end, what difference does it make?

    Interesting that you think that makes a difference to Trump. Fair enough.

    Oh, was the question specifically in reference to whether it made a difference to trump?

    No, the man is such a narcissist that I am sure he will think he has won no matter what happens.

    I agree...and he wants more funding to do more. It would be nice if everyone trying to enter the USA did so legally, and through Ports of Entry...the problem is they don't

    I cannot understand why Trump rescued ZTE and, no, I do NOT approve of his having done that. But your allegation about Putin is completely without any foundation at all. What 'favors' has Trump done for Putin? In fact, Trump has authorized further joint U. S.-European military cooperation, and he's sending more weapons systems to Ukraine. Maybe if you keep repeating the 'Trump/Putin conspiracy' fiction long enough that you can make it to be true.

    I can easily remember when liberal Democrats wished and hoped that everything Lyndon Johnson told the nation for years about the Vietnam War was true, too. And then, long after LBJ was dead and buried, we found out the awful truth.... 'Wishful thinking' has been the death of better political factions than today's radical Democrat Party, Mister "Truth"....

    I would think trump would be happy to postpone it, kinda hard to say there is a strong state of the union when the government is shut down and can't pay it's bills

    Just a note here.
    "At a news conference following Trump's announcement that there was a deal to end the partial government shutdown, Pelosi was asked by a reporter if the State of the Union will go on as originally scheduled for Tuesday night.
    "The State of the Union is not planned now," the California Democrat responded, standing next to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat. "What I said to the President is when the government is open we will discuss a mutually agreeable date, and I'll look forward to doing that and welcoming the President to the House of Representatives for the State of the Union when we agree on that."

    In other words, that is still 'negotiable' Trump gets what Pelosi offers, when she decides on a mutually agreeable date. In April perhaps, if he is a good boy. He gets to sit on his heels regardless of this bill he signed

    Smile sweetly Madam Speaker.
