    Equating the cost of troops at their own border as "paying for the wall" is nonsensical.

    Mexico was paying to secure our border. Do the math.

    No point. That has nothing to do with what Trump said. Like I said.....twisted logic.

    Looks like Gaetz couldn't pay for a full pardon so had to settle for the discounted "I will lie for you."

    LOL! It had everything to do with what Trump said. Mexico paid for our border security.
    How much is it costing US tax payers to have thousands of troops guarding the wall around the US Capitol?
    Has the Biden administration asked Mexico to pay for it or send Mexican troops to help us out? ;-)

    Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
    Yes, Biden has asked for that.

    So, are you saying that the NYT fired Weiss - or not?
    Tough question for you to answer? ;-)

    Skip the ad hominem personal attacks and focus on the issues. It works better. :)

    Focus: What does it cost to deploy over a division of troops to protect the American border with Mexico? Thanks to Trump that cost was paid by Mexico.

    IOW, you know that Weiss was not fired. ;-)

    Real journalists resent working for a Fake News publication like the NYT.

    "Baquet said the paper shouldn’t allow itself to be edited by Twitter outrage. When it was his turn to speak, Sulzberger cited a statistic claiming that only a small number of people tweeting about Times stories actually clicked on them, suggesting many readers judge the stories before actually reading them.

    Last week’s headline reignited an ongoing media discussion—both inside and outside the paper—about how to properly cover Trump’s racist statements.

    During Monday’s meeting, Baquet, the first African-American executive editor of the paper, emphasized that rather than simply labeling the president or other leaders “racist” or using euphemisms like “racially charged,” the paper should demonstrate instances of racism through concrete examples."
    THE DAILY BEAST, ‘MISSTEPS’, NYT Top Editor: Trump Racism Headline Was a ‘F*cking Mess’, In a lengthy town-hall meeting on Monday, the paper’s top brass addressed a bevy of recent controversies centering around the Times’ coverage of Trump, race, and politics., By Lachlan Cartwright, Maxwell Tani, Lloyd Grove, 08.12.19.

    Who cares what it costs? The army is going to be paid anyway. They have to do something!! Does it matter if they sit around in barracks or if they play wargames.....they are getting paid......and not by the US. You have NO point with that argument.

    Yet you will continue to lap up anything the left media tells you and post it here like its gospel even though they have been caught in thousands of lies over the last 5 years.
    We get it.

    Another "anonymous source" no doubt. Boring.

    So, there are no costs to deploying US troops in Afghanistan, Syria, S. Korea? ;-)

    Of course there is, it's half way around the world but to make your point you have to deduct what you're paying them anyway. In the scenario here it's Mexican troops in Mexico guarding Mexico. That's their job.

    IOW, you admit the cost is substantial, and Mexico absorbed that cost to defend the US border.

    Meaning, in an indirect way Mexico paid for our security like Trump said he wanted to accomplish. But frankly, all this talk about 'who pays' is only coming from a mentality wherein the government wastes money. And it's true, this poor excuse of a government does waste money but national security is not one of those wastes.
