Take 2.5 million from your national park budget to throw a party for yourself.

Tanks on the streets of our capitol like a 2-bit dictator.

Prime VIP seating for partisan hacks and big donors.

Appointing your kids to unearned diplomatic positions.

Give me your tired, your poor, so I can pile them in cages like you wouldnt do to a dog.

This is what America is all about, 2019.

But Hillary's emails.

I can agree with you on alot of what you have said here.

except for Hillary's emails, but I would also like to see Trumps taxes along with Hillary's emails.
 
You lobby for 2 trillion to be spent and then wail about 2 million. I can agree we shouldn't spend either......deal?
For those amongst us who are unaware, trillions are a lot more than millions, Both starting with 2 probably threw you off.

Have you been to the Statue of Liberty? Have you ever heard of it? Familiar with this quote AT the Statue of Liberty?

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Yes and there were immigration centers at Ellis Island equipped to deal with the ships that came in to DOCUMENT all the immigrants. It wasn't just an endless stampede where no one knew who was coming.

Furthermore, the insignia on the Statue of Liberty isnt federal law...

But it doesn't really matter, you want to undermine Trump, that's your only real purpose on this board. Not to be rational, not to discuss, it's to be an enormous hyperpartisan jerk as often as possible.

No I haven't, But my ancestors marched in the trail of tears...So the Statue of Liberty is based on a lie if you really want to go back and look at America's history. America is stolen land from it's native people.

Yes, everyone's ancestors have been victimized in some way. That has nothing to do with anything.

Victimhood isnt a currency.

The post wasn't about being a victim it went right over your head. It was basically about our own history. The statue of liberty is great. But America would not exist today as we know had the country not been stolen from the native's. So I was just pointing out that Duck like so many of you is taking a time in history to justify what he wants today. That was a different time and a different landscape, Just like now, as the old saying goes I cannot raise my kids like my parents raised me, because I was raised for a world that no longer exist. Today our immigration system has not kept up with today's world and today's issues.

Jesus told us to abide by the laws over us. Don't think Jesus would have great sympathy for those who refuse to take the path offered legally and without violence.
 
Duck, if the Dems are so worried about illegal immigration then why don't they offer some meaningful bill to fix this issue? The system is broken.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph. Trump told them he would sign a deal if they would make one. They had a bi-partisan deal agreed upon. Both sides gave up something. Two days later, Trump's nazi, Stephen Miller got to him and Trump said the deal was a no go and has been blaming the dems for months and months. Do you not follow the news at all?

After that, the Dems have pretty much given up on getting anything done with the lying backstabbing POS. On top of that they just gave in and gave him 4+ billion for the "crisis" he created.

I don't remember no bill being passed...Show me were the bill passed the house and Senate and Trump vetoed it! saying you can pass something and and actually passing something is two different things.

They came to an agreement. A rare moment and he pissed on the fire. They had a compromise, then 2 days later he said fuuuget about it. He was getting 20+ billion for the wall and much stricter enforcement on illegals. It was a fair compromise by repubs and dems. The repubs wouldnt vote against their king once he changed his mind. He was getting a lot. Here are the details

Seems to me some of you guys are very forgetful when it serves your purpose. This absolutely happened and most of it was on camera in the WH! No bill was passed because Trump dumped the best deal he'll ever get for wall and borders security money. When that happened you know McConnell would NEVER allow vote on it because he knew it would most likely pass and HE didn't want it.

Do you understand how a bill becomes a law? Have you ever seen School house rock, you know I'm just a bill sitting here on capital hill? Well until congress passes a bill there is nothing for Trump to dump on? Congresses job is to pass a bill and put it on the Presidents desk, from there he can veto it or sign it.
Last time I checked the President did not have any say in what bills congress put up to vote to pass. So for you guys to blame Trump for something that never passed the house who the Dems have total control of is the most idiotic thing anybody has posted here. Pass the damn bill and if Trump veto's it then you can blame him all you want, or once it passes the house and the senate won't bring it up to vote you can blame them. But until you can pass something in the chamber you control quit pointing fingers at others!!

What part of it would never get a vote withoutTrump's approval don't you understand? Dems did NOT have control of the house then, they had to have Trump's backing to have ANY chance. I agree that bills SHOULD be passed and sent to his desk but the pubs ain't gonna send him ANYTHING they don't know he will sign. They are scared to death of him for reason.

Sounds to me like the Dems are just as scared also...by your and Ducks reasoning.....

THEY had the deal made with him, HE backed out of it. Did you not see this on TV? Once again at the time the dems did NOT have control of the house. Speaker Ryan at the time was doing the same thing McConnell is still doing.

So how is Trump responsible for hundreds of thousands of people leaving their homes all over the world and trying to illegally enter the USA??

Seems it’s the people who have been in DC the last 30 years running our govt who are responsible ,,not the guy that just showed up
