as they repeated it over and over again on the way to the vote - FOX TV bellowing it for months and months. Sure - hyperbole.

Trumpbots justifying the nonsense. Always a good argument to back up the inane.

Jack, he is a banker
and Jane, she is a clerk

I just don't get the people who are willing to go to the mattresses over the "wall" issue. - NDavenue - 2:03pm 1/9/19 (66) [View All]
- The issue is whether the President should hold the government hostage over it. - conorlarkin - 4:56pm 1/9/19

    - So you let your child hide the clicker, and deny TV to household until .... - conorlarkin - 8:17pm 1/9/19
      - Of course not, my children are well behaved. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 8:39pm 1/9/19
        Unlike Trump .... who happens to be a US President. Hence, my point. [NT] - conorlarkin - 8:56pm 1/9/19
        "But he started it!" [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:44pm 1/9/19
    - How so? There had already been a bipartisan solution to keep the govt - Frank L - 5:45pm 1/9/19
      - It's pretty simple. - iairishcheeks - 6:23pm 1/9/19
        How’s he going to claim victory? They already offered him $25 billion worth of Wall for DACA which - Frank L - 10:13pm 1/9/19
        
        The Dems are in a hissy fit over 10 minutes worth of .gov border spending - CC72 - 7:26pm 1/9/19
        Trump is throwing the hissy fit. The Dems are just refusing to appease the tantrum. [NT] - LehighND - 12:06am 1/10/19
  - Bingo. Give the man a kewpie doll. [NT] - Frank L - 4:58pm 1/9/19
- Surprised you'd blame the uneducated racists at Trump rallies who chant "Build the Wall". Smh. [NT] - ND521 - 4:40pm 1/9/19
  - Tear down the border wall at San Diego and invite everyone to cross in - CC72 - 7:28pm 1/9/19
- Everything is about "identity politics." - Curly1918 - 4:19pm 1/9/19
- I'll bet you thought that was a great line, didn't you? - jimbasil - 4:14pm 1/9/19
  - Very cogent argument. [NT] - NDavenue - 4:24pm 1/9/19
    - Then give me something to work with. [NT] - jimbasil - 4:40pm 1/9/19
- When did Candidate Don say the American taxpayer was going to pay for the wall? - Rooney - 4:07pm 1/9/19
  - I think the vast majority of Trump voters understood it was hyperbole. [NT] - NDavenue - 4:30pm 1/9/19
    - Yeah sure, hyperbole - his base actually thought when voting for him, it's just hyperbole - jimbasil - 4:39pm 1/9/19
    - Respectfully, I think you give the vast majority of Trump voters too much credit. - Rooney - 4:37pm 1/9/19
      - The base yes. The left underestimates how many votes he could get, not from supporters, - Frank L - 4:44pm 1/9/19
        I think you are spot on. That has been my point for 2 years now. - NDavenue - 6:03pm 1/9/19
        
        I know I shouldn't say this, because a Biden-Trump election would be fun, but Biden is unelectable. [NT] [IMAGE] - NedoftheHill - 4:57pm 1/9/19
        Bring that shit on. Would love to see the fight over who is the bigger dirtbag. [NT] - Frank L - 4:59pm 1/9/19
        Agreed. Would be fun. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 6:49pm 1/9/19
    - Not a valid reason to close down the govt when you can’t back up yer hyperbole! [NT] - Frank L - 4:33pm 1/9/19
- Mostly fair points. But look at it from the other side. Orange has been a petulant child over this. - Frank L - 3:49pm 1/9/19
  - I also think the Dems could play it more in their favor if they agree to fund it. - NDavenue - 4:39pm 1/9/19
    - Here’s my prediction. The shutdown is unsustainable past this month. - Frank L - 4:47pm 1/9/19
      - Here is my perfect scenario on that. - NedoftheHill - 6:57pm 1/9/19
      - That is a very real possibility. Maybe even likely. [NT] - NDavenue - 6:00pm 1/9/19
      - Not a bad prediction. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:59pm 1/9/19
  - I guess we'll see where it goes. I think it will hurts Dems though. [NT] - NDavenue - 4:33pm 1/9/19
- So it's Democrats going to the mattresses over the wall, is it? - Chris94 - 3:41pm 1/9/19
  - Sorry. I meant in terms of opposing it. I assume everyone expected Trump to do it. - NDavenue - 4:28pm 1/9/19
- Answers. - LehighND - 3:14pm 1/9/19
  - Lehigh, why do you think the Democrats changed their minds on the wall? Just b/c Trump likes it? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:02pm 1/9/19
    - I don't understand the question. - LehighND - 11:55pm 1/9/19
      - He is proposing basically the same stuff in the Democratic Party Platform from 2008 quoted earlier. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 11:59pm 1/9/19
        Evasive and disingenuous. What did the platform propose, and what is Trump proposing? [NT] - LehighND - 12:03am 1/10/19
        Because I referenced my earlier post which laid out the Dem/Trump platform? - NedoftheHill - 5:56am 1/10/19
  - Do you actually know anything - WoodstockIrish - 6:36pm 1/9/19
    - I've asked a million times for some to explain what he is planning to spend the 5.6 billion on. - LehighND - 12:01am 1/10/19
      - Um, you're asking people on this board.... - Domer From Hell - 1:37am 1/10/19
        I doubt "Woodie" has read the plan, analyzed the economics of it. - LehighND - 5:50am 1/10/19
        Re: I doubt "Woodie" has read the plan, analyzed the economics of it. - WoodstockIrish - 5:08pm 1/10/19
      - Wall, a couple hundred border agents, and some other stuff. They gave a list of stuff on the radio. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:08am 1/10/19
    - I balee he has an engineering degree. Do you? [NT] - Frank L - 10:17pm 1/9/19
      - I do. But, even a history degree would be useful here. - NedoftheHill - 12:03am 1/10/19
        I'm pretty sure I am not acting like that. Do you have a link where I act like that? - LehighND - 6:01am 1/10/19
        
        Did I ask you? - Frank L - 1:32am 1/10/19
  - Your bias is transparent. This is all about you not liking Trump. "Spoiled child"? That dog won't hu - NDavenue - 3:25pm 1/9/19
    - I didn't think "spoiled child" was even contested by his supporters. [NT] - LehighND - 3:33pm 1/9/19
      - It's a term of endearment in some circles. [NT] - Rooney - 4:13pm 1/9/19
  - 39% favor the border wall. [LINK] - LehighND - 3:24pm 1/9/19
    - That is a poorly asked question. I wonder how many of them know there already is a wall. - NedoftheHill - 5:01pm 1/9/19
- The dems are going to come out on the losing end of this ordeal... - IrishMac - 2:48pm 1/9/19
  - Nope, almost 2/3rds of the country agree with them. [NT] - Frank L - 3:50pm 1/9/19
- Well said. Good summary of the situation. This is all purely political, and nothing to do w/border. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:13pm 1/9/19
  - The Dems are misguided and believe Trump will lose his base if he doesn't get the wall. - NDavenue - 3:30pm 1/9/19
    - Actually it was Orange who was misguided over that. Went wobbly and wussy when Ann and Rush yelled - Frank L - 4:38pm 1/9/19
  - So stick to the status quo? - LehighND - 3:15pm 1/9/19
    - There is a wall, but perhaps the Dems would like to vote on tearing it down? Cause after all you - WoodstockIrish - 6:39pm 1/9/19
    - That is the political victory the Dems are looking for. Trump is looking for the opposite. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:54pm 1/9/19
