    He spoke today (1:00 mark of below video). Not spotted in anywhere in the video was his backbone.

    4) They are gullible sheep who would believe that gay zombies are invading the country to help Hillary run her pedo sex ring in a DC pizza parlor if Trump tweeted it.
  3. Lagunamadre
    Ahh. Gotcha. Was thinking along the lines are largest foreign holders.
  4. Lagunamadre
    Are China and Japan not the largest holder (by far) of our debt? What am I missing here? http://ticdata.treasury.gov/Publish/mfh.txt

    Your sure that illegal walked across the border? 99% chance he flew or drove in and overstayed his visa. Things a wall would not address. I don't even know how to respond to the low skilled workers comment. Let's just say Americans do not want to work in fields, frame a house, lay a roof or mend a fence. As the economy keeps expanding, we need unskilled workers willing to do the dirty work for cheap. It allows us Americans to lead our blissfully ignorant lives with callus-free hands.

    We are spending record amounts down there, so there is plenty of security. It's never going to be 100%. Can you give me an example of how lack of border security effects your day to day life?
  7. Lagunamadre
    Tell that to Trump and his base.

    Almost a third, 91 of the 300, imminent domain suits brought by the government against private land owners are still pending...........from 2006. But Trump is good at winning court battles though.

    More likely a mile or two. Check out our current fence. Presumably it went through the same federal agencies, army core of engineers, etc. when they built these sections, so expect something similar if we build additional miles of the wall. Find me a portion of the wall that is within 10' of the river. Private land owners boundary is the river BTW, while your doing your research. http://apps.revealnews.org/border-wall/

    From that article: "Overall, 41 people on the Terrorist Screening Database were encountered at the southern border from Oct. 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018, but 35 of them were U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Six were classified as non-U.S. persons. On the northern border, CBP stopped 91 people listed in the database, including 41 who were not American citizens or residents." More than double potential "terrorists" were stopped crossing via Canada. If this is really about national security then it looks like Trump is trying to build a wall on the wrong border.

    Can you imagine them wanting to cut off their livestock and wildlife from their primary source of water (rio grande) or can you imagine them wanting to give up large swaths of their land that would fall on the opposite side of the wall? Have you ever been to the border? Ever met a rancher who owns land on the border?
  12. Lagunamadre
    A couple of options here. One, you could spend 30 seconds and sign up for twitter and follow one person, @realdonaldtrump. Or two, you could watch Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, OAN who spend about half of their day covering what @realdonaldtrump tweets. Or I could just tell you what he will tweet to save you the trouble (Actual tweets have misspellings, grammatical errors and randomly capitalized words),: Mueller is on a witch hunt. Democrats want open borders/Build the wall Stock Market doing great (on the days it is up) America is respected around the world again Make America Great Again Mitt Romney, General Mattis, William McCraven, McMaster are ignorant no-good liberals Tariffs work and are doing great for the economy!!!!!!

    Universal income, banning fossil fuels by 2035, nationalizing health care, 70% marginal tax rate, shutting down ICE, canceling student debt, etc. I'm slightly left of center, but AOC is so far left of me I can't see her. I respect her. I like her. I just wouldn't bet any money on her getting anything done.
  14. Lagunamadre
    I do. AOC is the Freedom Caucus of the left. I agree with a lot of her ideals, but most of what she is going to do (I'm guessing) will be so far out of the main stream that it will go nowhere. Just bluster and stunts. Gets media coverage and lots of likes on twitter, red meat for the base. But hard way to get bills passed.
  15. Lagunamadre
    99.99% chance that the border security convo is going to get sidetracked into Hilary's emails with that group of all-stars.
  16. Lagunamadre
    One side is trying to scare you that brown people are coming to kill you and take your jobs. The other is trying to scare people that if Republicans repeal ACA and you have cancer that you and your family will be bankrupted and you might die without proper care. One of those statements has some merit the other is being scare of getting struck by lightning.

    ISIS forced their hand when they took over Mosul after the US withdrawal. The caliphate got into Kurdistan and was gaining territory quickly so peshmerga did what they do and fought. Some time after they started we realized that they were our best bet for defeating ISIS and we teamed up with them giving them money, arms and training. When Trump or Obama say "we defeated ISIS" they are full of shit. The Kurds defeated ISIS. Sure there were others that helped, but the Kurds did the heavy lifting especially in Mosul and Raqqa.

    Where was Roger Stone today?
  19. Lagunamadre
    So I take it you are not a huge fan of Bolton, Pompeo and Trump's policies re Iran?
  20. Lagunamadre
    So you're dovish on Iran and presumably support the Trump administration and are anti-obama? Interrrrresstttting.. Also, if I read correctly above you spent money and time to read a book authored by Tucker Carlson? I guess the latter might explain the former.
  21. Lagunamadre
    There are two ways to get there. By boat. Or by road through Corpus Christi. You can drive South all the way down to the jetties of Port Mansfield. It is about as remote as you can get. Really cool experience. We used there and shark fish and do donuts in our pickups in high school.
  22. Lagunamadre
    Great story. I vividly remember that cold front as I was tailgating outside of Jerryworld and was underdressed. My steep blood pressure rise on Suh's 27th sack of Colt warmed me up. Interesting that illegals make their way to PINS. I'd be interested in the logistics of how they got there.
  23. Lagunamadre
    I spent a lot of time on ranches in South Texas (south of the checkpoints) growing up. We would often come across illegals while driving around or a couple of times they wandered up to the house. We would give them water and tamales and call the border patrol. I never felt scared or threatened by any of them. This demonization of these people is fucking terrible. I would say that 99.9% of the people who think this is a material issue in this country have never been to the border region and never encountered illegals in their life. They are just sheep who need a boogeyman.

    "Your Honor, my client is only guilty of small crimes, not big crimes. It's not like he did 9-11. Do you remember 9-11 sir? I'm not sure if you remember your honor, but I was the mayor during 9-11 and that is why we stand during the national anthem your honor. The defense rests."

    Mike Pence makes John Kerry look like the lovechild of Ronald Reagan and JFK. Pence ain't getting elected to a national office...ever. If you want to be afraid of something more realistic you should worry about getting struck by lighting on your way to cash your winning lottery ticket.
