trying to get $20 billion for "wall building"? Anyone, either party, voting for that is insane.

An impressive Bio on that person. Real smart, I figure, after reading a bit of him coupled with that quote above he figured out that life was hell, especially if you think too much about it. hahahahaha


Ah ja right something about Trump, he could go crazy like Nietzsche, it might take a while for the public to notice. That,s what I would do in his shoes, might be the only way out. He knows to much.

Sure as hell beats spending it on murder. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the billions in loose change the Pentagon loses in the Middle East.

Here I am being contrarian again. Build the wall. Let's see if they can keep it from becoming a boondoggle. Let's see if they can get Mexico to pay for it. Massive public works project. What could go wrong? Might be good for a laugh.

It might. Or it might not. But it will be their wall. Don't get up tight about. In Yuma today, they talked about the wall. Most want it, but it is a federal decision.

The Mexicans will have sapped an elaborate tunnel network underneath large sections of the wall before it's even finished.

It is a massive folly. It's a Maginot Line. It's Hadrian's wall. The great Wall of China didn't work, either.

No. He admitted failure on his video. Shumer tried everything to get what he wanted - including the wall - but he was rebuffed.

No idiot here.

The negotiations are primarily between two Americans - President Trump and Senator Shumer. Shumer is a failure because he went to the President, hat in hand, and after he failed to get anywhere, whined in public. He even went so far as to offer President Trump the funding to get the wall. Yet, he failed.

Naturally, you believed everything Shumer said. That makes you the fool. How implicitly do you believe politicians? :lol:

The art of the deal.

Senate adjourns without deal to end government shutdown; vote scheduled for noon Monday

The government shutdown will continue into the workweek after frantic efforts by a bipartisan group of moderate senators Sunday failed to produce an agreement to reopen agencies Monday morning.

"We have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that is acceptable to both sides," Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced that he would be willing to debate immigration legislation if an agreement were not otherwise reached by early February
