To be clear.

The White House is gearing up to declare a National Emergency where there isn't one on our southern border. Drugs, brown people are murderers and rapists. They are a threat to our NATIONAL SECURITY! They are a clear and present danger to us all right now. So the man, who by his own words would have made an excellent general if he had not suffered a debilitating disease know as bone spurs has this brilliant plan, to build his wall, barrier, peaches or whatever they all want to call it. However his mind is still sound and he is a brilliant tactician and knows strategy better than anyone ever born. His strategy to fix the imminent danger that faces us this very day is to build a wall they may well take decades.

Brilliant!!!

To continue, we all know there is no National Security Emergency at the border, though we have a clear threat now after the idiot extraordinaire shut down our government and vital workers that protect out national security are furloughed or being forced to work without pay. Coast Guard. FBI. Airport Security. Secret Service. IRS. Workers without pay are suffering and rationing their medications. This all becomes a trickledown effect to our economy. This is costing us billions. This shut down that the petulant child that sits in the WH planned with his boss Putin is to destabilize our economy and it is working. The plan is destabilize and then come in and profit (pennies to the dollar) as they clean up what is left of America.

We have a National Emergency. Their name is Donnie and the GOP that enables him.

I think you are looking for the word Border, as in Southern Border. A Boarder is somebody who pays you money for a room to rent, thus room and board. Lets not look like repukes by these kind of mistakes.

auto-correct doesn't catch it.. but, not to equate it to "Lets not look like repukes by these kind of mistakes."

No need for the gratuitous insult.

This is a community forum.

One needs to understand this in a world of auto-correct mobiles, busy people and passion.

I apologize if you were seriously confused by the misspelling and had to look it up.

Also, congratulations on being so persnickety and fastidious.

You may want to self-delete. Equating a good DUer with repukes because of a misspelling (which, BTW, I've seen all over the place on this board) is simply atrocious.

It is incorrect to capitalize the first letter of common nouns. Even though random capitalization is a frequent feature of Trump's tweets and thus becoming more common, this mistake should be avoided.

Uncalled for, rude and an exaggeration which makes you look far worse than any misspelling can possibly do. I would apologize.

He's now asking for a down payment on the wall to open the gov. The Speaker of course said no and sent him packing to find another way to get out of the mess he created.

He can't declare an emergency as the immediate thought would be well why have you waiten 34 days to declare an emergency? That would be dereliction of duty.

He's going to cave soon by coming up with a CR to open the gov. then negotiate, just as Madame Speaker has been saying all along.

He's met his match, more than his match actually.

Have you noticed his hair lately it is flying all over the place. Seriously, not in the wind yet inside giving his little speeches/screeches. The static electricity emanating form his body is startling...he is about to explode.

He's been bitching about the "security threat" on our Southern border since he went down the escalator. He had 2 years with a friendly House and Senate to "fix" the problem.

Doing it after the Dems won the House is an obvious political ploy, one that thankfully the general population isn't buying. Trumplodytes may still be on board with him, but their real numbers are being shown now, which is at best around 30-35% of the population.

the government, waiting 34 days after shutting it down would be dereliction of duty.

I do agree he's been screwing up for two years.

I seriously couldn't have said it better! Might a said the same thing, but it'd have much mor profanity and be dialed down to a sixth grade reading level.
