Presidential Address Thread

lol so argumentative.

That was my point. Except no one cares about domestic pills killing Americans.

It's the fighting off of a chest cold. It's making me grumpy. :eek:

I said you were right though... so I should totally get points for that. :D
 
i had a grow house next door. in the next block, i have a heroin/meth dealer. you know who most often visits their houses? ups and fedex. and they aren't hispanic drivers.

It's ok. After seeing Cheeto broadcast far and wide everyone is cranky.

:p
 
So? There's not that many Mexicans there. :p

I caved and watched his speech. Trump said meth. I had to laugh at that one. Meth just strikes me as an American-made drug. I mean, we probably couldn't give that crap away to other countries.
 
Bastard. Now if the federal government ever gets back to work and my laptop is seized my search history will have Lit and "How to make meth" in the history.

Do they have your photo ID from trips to the drugstore? :p
 
In case you haven't figured it out (and you haven't), this is a LWCJ.

It takes a bit of time just to formulate an appropriately nuanced response to (for example) adrina's comments about a speech she didn't watch. She had quite a bit to say, and I wouldn't want to short-shift any of it.

I mean-

I'd like to, but. . .

. . .I can't even. . .
 
He read a teleprompter which proves he can read. Not sure how much he practiced before hand. His main theme was that the barrier was needed to prevent drugs and violence caused by the immigrants. He gave a couple of examples of illegal aliens harming US citizens.

It was hard to follow for me because he calls them al-iens instead of a-liens.

The phrase that will get the most play from others was, “This is a humanitarian crisis — a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul,” Trump said. He added that the federal government “remains shut down for one reason and one reason only: because Democrats will not fund border security.”

Of course, the fact that there is a messed up situation at the border states because of the way the administration is handling things was pointed out by many others.

The Dem leadership said that the money for humanitarian assistance was planned in the bills they were putting forth, but that the president refuses to separate the barrier from the other budgetary bills.

Late night shows questioned the actual heart and soul of the President.
 
Lots of misinformation. Where to begin....

I am afraid he will not budge on the shutdown either.

The shutdown is more of crisis than south of the border.

It's the Dems who won't budge

There were for the wall until Trump was.
It is they who are shutting the government down.

The President. And your president is willing to work with them. Nancy went to Hawaii instead
 
Trump: The shutdown is the Democrats' fault for not funding a wall.

Democrats: It's Trump's fault for wanting a wall.

Democrat supporters on this thread: It's Trump's fault for being Trump.


Hmm, those are some good :rolleyes: arguments. Who to support?

Trump, "I am proud to shutdown the government."
 
Trump, "I am proud to shutdown the government."

And why is he saying that? Those words translate into his entire speech of: The wall is too important to not sign a budget that gives us the funds. I'm doing this for the American People's safety. (Am I the only one who understands why people say what they do?)

Trump is no politician.


Pelosi and Schumer & real Politicians: Too savvy to say anything that they think will undermine their appeal to the American public.


I don't agree with how either side is handling the wall, but I disagree with Trump more on this.

If Trump is serious about this, then I'd like to see Trump bend right now and come up with a comprehensive plan for his wall from top to bottom. Engineering, exact projected cost: materials, labor, upkeep, man power, etc. I'd like the Dems to say that they will consider a comprehensive plan during next year's proposed budget (they wouldn't even if they said it, but say it,), and THEN Trump can not sign next year's budget and declare his national emergency if he needs to.

Edit: Give him just enough money to pay the people who figure out the details.

I want to know everything about this Wall before I decide if it's a good idea or not.

I have no argument with you that Trump is responsible for the government shut down.
 
Yet another right-wing political thread that should be in the Politics Forum?



Mouth-breathing toothless Trumpers like Rory just cannot get the message of the enlightened Left. Occam says it must be st-st-st-stupidity...

Pelosi, Schumer rebuttal mocked for wooden delivery, weird staging

Democrats insisted that networks give them equal airtime to respond to Trump’s first Oval Office address on border security, but it may have backfired.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) prompted mocking on social media after they delivered a wooden rebuttal while being squished together behind one podium

They also drew numerous comparisons to the 1930 American Gothic painting.

Their performance was deemed so ridiculous that the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Twitter account used a picture of them as their account banner.

Low-energy coupled with the Adderall sniffles does not a good speech make.

Trump telegraphed his intentions earlier in the day at a luncheon with friendly TV producers. He said he didn't want to do a primetime address OR do a photo op at the wall, he was doing so at the insistence of his "advisors".

Interestingly, this combo (address/photo op) was suggested last Thursday night by fading television harpy Ann Coulter.
