Stupid callers to C-SPAN

On this morning’s C-SPAN call-in show “Washington Journal”,
several callers on the ‘Republican line’ claimed there are ‘official reports’ out there showing that the
U.S. government gives $154 BILLION a year to ‘illegal aliens’ in the form of
food stamps, housing, and even cars and telephones.

(And, of course, it’s the fault of the ‘Democrats’,
although the GOP controls the White House and Congress).

They go on to say:
“$5 billion for the wall is just pocket change.”

They're stealing our jobs and too lazy work.

They're also dangerous rapists and drug dealers as they steal jobs from friendly American rapists and drug dealers.

Megahn McCain does that a lot too.
When the ladies on The View criticize Trump,
McCain will bring up Obama, Al Gore, John Kerry, etc.

. . .that Comey, who stupidly made that election influencing grandstand play, even said in his briefing that there were no crimes committed, just "carelessness". So, there is NO comparison, yet these drones keep making them.

Used to when I had different tv set-up. I really, really don't miss it at all. Just sets an ugly tone for the rest of the day. C-SPAN started getting more red about midway through the Bush fiasco (Admin.) Never looked back.
The reds ruined PBS too.
Don ivan sold 30% of America on a wall that Mexico would pay for. Not us. Follow through on your campaign promises don. Word for word. Not campaign promises-plus later adjustments.
