You tell me.

Slow works on the principle that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.
I am increasingly convinced that he's not here to debate, he's here for people to engage and laugh when others become frustrated. He doen't care about fact and figures, he cares about your emotional response and those of others. I shall respond by viewing him as a bug of a noxious variety, poking at him out of nothing but an interest in his response to stimuli.
How does that old saying go? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make a dishonest whack job use logic.Slow works on the principle that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth.
I mentioned this when you did before.
If the wall was responsible for "tranquility", where precisely, was the chaos, rioting and rushing across the border in unfenced areas that day?
Hundreds rushing across at- wait there was none of that.
Sometimes I wish you had a valid point but you must choose the least rationally debatable subjects with no good basis. Trump lied about drugs coming across the border, Sanders failed to manipulate terrorism figures to support your leader. But you draw a line in the sand and dare people to cross and embrace lies for control.
I wonder what drives you to lose so badly, or perhaps what is more important than your credibility, the attraction for trolling (badly that is) or a genuine adoration for Trump? Perhaps it's that you are getting attention. You come in and know beforehand you will be seen and responded to. That it is negative is not as important as validating that others look your way. You act needy for attention, any attention and that requires professional help beyond my scope of practice.
You tell me.
Oh look, let's spend 25 billion to stop thousands of dollars worth of the devil's lettuce from coming in. Not to mention, those plague bearing kiddies and all 6 of those bad hombres.
I wonder how many broken institutions and ruined lives and succumbing of the nation to the greatest domestic threat since the Civil War is worth trading to build that wall, how many illegal crossings will justify the above.
There seems to be a disconnect between the magnitude of damage being done to only have an "acceptable" number of border crossings much less a tombstone erected to protect a nation dead to the reasons it was founded.
But if it keeps one illegal out it will be worth it I suppose.
So how much does the cost of the wall work out to be per person crossing the border?Which post? To me, any way you look at it, thousands are crossing the border illegally, that is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

I had respect for you, think you used to be fairly logical and not a dick just for the sake of being a dick, we didn't agree often but I thought you were at least posting with good intent and making real effort to discuss and explain your point of view. But think this is the post where that ends.
You can look the other way on human trafficking, you can pick which "facts" agree with your pre-held position and champion them all you want. Neat story bud. But what we are talking about here is 1) CNN IS biased and goes out of their way to mock and show Trump in a bad light. This is my opinion and shared by plenty of others, evidence backs this up. 2) Illegal immigration IS an issue, we have hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants apprehended a year. This has been ignored for too long in my opinion, I posted a video of facts and figures that seems to be ignored by you and others thus far.
I don't think the issue is so much that I'm a liar or a troll, but that many here don't like the reality I post as it doesn't fit in the bubble that exists here.
You're a dancin' fool, huh?
Both. Although ive not seen many costed estimates for manning and repairing the wall/fence/curtain.In a year or over decades?

How long is the border with Mexico exactly anyway?I think there's no plan. There are statements, promises, and wishes, but no plan. "I'm gonna build a wall that's 234 miles long" is not a plan any more than "I want a really nice house" is a blueprint. It's all a distraction.
Just trying to emphasize how ludicrous the idea of spending that much money on a problem that doesn't exist. Everyone wants better controls over illegal immigration. The wall isn't a reasonable. Then there's the whole separate issue of Trump fucking over thousands of Americans and creating real possible threats in the process.Weed should be legal, but thousands of dollars?
1954 miles, iirc.How long is the border with Mexico exactly anyway?
Maintaining a physical barrier that a lot of people will want to destroy along all that is going to cost a shit ton of money!

Its absolutely not going to solve any drug problems. We have a 20 mile wide moat but it really isnt a problem getting hold of whatever you want here!I'd gladly support the wall if it actually addressed the largest problems with regards to the illegal and drug problems, it does not, so therefore it's a non-starter for me. It's nothing more than something to placate Trump getting burned from Coulter and Linmpbaugh. He's scared his base will abandon him if he doesn't get it done and won't get re-elected. All he has to do is blame the democrats like all republicans have done before him. They're gullible and will believe what they're told.
When you decided to side with those who seek to weaken the nation on the best of days and willing to sacrifice our principles for a claim of doubtful protection, side with those who wish to usurp the authority of government beyond the wildest imaginings and started pulling anecdotal accounts as justification and wave them in the face of reality?
That's when you lost me. I'm for the intelligent improvement of border control. I'm for increasing the processing of those coming over so fewer will be tempted to enter illegally, but your administration has done the opposite, decreasing the number of people who may legally cross because he can. That creates more taking actions that I don't approve of and that no stupid wall will stop. It won't stop drugs even though that was lied about. It won't stop terrorism because contrary to what is being sold that's not where terrorists are getting in.
Long ago I took an oath to defend against enemies foreign and domestic. What you represent, what you support, is that which is a threat. I wouldn't let Obama, Hillary or Trump get away with it because I am no respecter of people, only who those people are and what they do earns consideration in terms of whether they should remain in power or not.
