It was a simple recitation of the speech he has been making since the election - brown people are scary

I would think the networks are wondering why they agreed to preempt their schedule.

At one point he attempted to be sympathetic, which never turns out well for a narcissist.

He failed.

But after that, he mouthed a bunch of incorrect statistics fed to him on the monitor, ginned up the fear, tried to push the morality button which didn't work so good, but then got rolling on a lot of imaginary blood and guts and his non-existent comforting response to the families of the victims.

Oh, and everything is the Democrats' fault because it all started happening in the last six days apparently.

It was an updated version of his Presidential announcement speech. Updated only by using blood and guts and gore descriptions of the violent crimes committed by messicans. And he threw in the lie of whatta really nice guy he was to a crime victim’s family.

It was a fun d raiser for his re-election. He asked for money from his constituents for the wall.

on Lawrence O'Donnell. What a lying con man! I wonder if he will set up a "go fund me" page for his attorneys when he is indicted.

Decency? The need to be honest? Gratitude that they still support him?

I remember Bin Laden hearing that the Twin Towers collapsed. His intent and expectations were to kill a couple hundred people and harm important and symbolic American buildings, definitely never imaging that they would come down completely. It must be the same feeling that Putin has been experiencing.

It was pretty much the same. Immigrants are sneaking in to kill us. We need to build a wall.

Probably the same shit his daddy used to spout.

We flipped through channels, the so called pundits seem to say it was a flop unless they are paid by gop etc then they say it was a success. At least one did. No emergency declared yet anyway. I will check out what Nancy and Chuck said later.

First he lead by misreading "..I am speaking tonight.." as "...I espeaking tonight ...". Seriously like a bad Mexican accent imitation
No National Emergency declaration
Didn't mention the wall until the end
Said Homeland Security requested the $5.7B
Blamed the Dems for a several lines then called for bipartisanship
Got into some vastly details on a few murders - rape beating with hammer dismembered

Apparently it was a giant nothing-new-to-see-here stump speech, ineptly delivered and unlikely to change a single mind.

I am about the fact the Jared assured him it would really sway public opinion. That guy is a walking Dunning-Kruger demo.

And it's hilarious that he's prepared to give up on his wall for a beyootiful steel fence, at the request of the Democrats (as if they did). Nice try, genius. I wonder what The Base will think of that.

So now I'm online at 4 am and finding out I didn't miss anything. Doggie went out to pee and kitty made a mess splashing in his water bowl. Shrug. Typical night.
