Trump Couldn't Even Say 'Merry Christmas' Without Whining About His Border Wall
President Donald Trump is spending his Christmas mostly alone in the White House, and he’s being a real Grinch about it.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
He was referring to his lack of funding for a useless border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which has led to a government shutdown even as Republicans control the White House and both chambers in Congress.

I have to wonder if any advocates for the wall know anything of the Maginot line? Seems obvious they don't.
By the way, the link to the article doesn't work.
I fixed the link earlier
and chuckled at the faux paus about the wall needed as
"a barrier from people from pouring into our company".
Freudian slip?
Trump whining about a wall?
Yeah well, wait for the sobbing whine when some of that dirty Russian money starts sticking to his arse.
Wonder how many anti-wall whiners actually live right on the border like I do and have to actually deal with the problems illegals cause passing through our Southern border on a daily basis, which has more holes in it than a pasta colander. Like the torn down fences and damage to private property of farmers and ranchers, or the mountains of trash they leave in their wake as they pass through. Or how about the slaughtered livestock and even family pets routinely killed for food or sport. The routine break ins by illegals, drug and human smugglers looking for money, valuables, and weapons. What will it take for people to realize that there are just as many victims on this side of the border. I want the wall. If those anti-wall folks lived down here and go through what we go through here on a regular basis, I'd bet you would sing a different tune!
It should be obvious that growing poverty, violence and disorder are creating victims everywhere. Perhaps it is time to address these issues, get off our arses and do something about it. Corruption and the politics of fear is the root of these problems.
US expends vast sums of money in foreign aid. Perhaps it is time we assure those funds are being spent wisely. And...…….spent to our benefit, political and economic.
Regulations, oversight, fines and sanctions.
Much like how we should be protecting the global environment.
You asked for specifics. It really isn't that complicated. Is it?
Great deflection there...
Apparently for some, it is 'too complicated.'

I agree with that 100%, I don't understand why we spend foreign aid money any other way, but we do
The open borders left would rather ignore the facts and instead call for more Marxist redistribution of wealth extended to those who break our laws
Thank you once again for shooting yourself in the foot with your "challenge" and revealing just how much don't know about how the immigration process works:
So, even if all asylum seekers had the promise of a home to stay in, the INS would not release them and. And even if it didn't choose detention over release, getting a home approved for these people would be difficult.
Yes, I am extremely worried about those open Northern borders. Just look what those Canucks William Shatner and Jim Carrey did to the quality of acting in the U.S.of A!
And all Mexico gave us was Salma Hayek and a few hundred other silver screen beauties.
I didn't expect to dislodge you from your deflection but just to illustrate how big and lie-based it is.
Oh, dear. Melt-down alert. For everyone like you there's at least one person who isn't so freaked-out about immigration and they actually live right on the border. Looks like you might have to fight a bunch of Texans before you even meet one illegal immigrant:
Don’t Mess With Texas Landowners on Border Wall, Lawmakers Warn
Your term "open border adherents" is disingenuous at best. Pretty sure nobody wants open borders.
This term is used just to inflame reactionary far right wingers with low comprehension skills.
Just watched a video in which teens were able to breach Trump's walls in minutes. What a boondoggle!
Unfortunately you are talking pure trump republican bs
No you just don't like minorities. Yes I remember some of the comments you made about them on NV
removed for context
Not this Democrat, and the ones who have are fringe Democrats, it is not one part of the Democrat party platform. The only "amnesty" they have called for is that provided through DACA which takes work, it's not just an automatic granted citizenship and only applies to a small segment of the undocumented immigrants, those who were brought here as children.
The fact is, the last major amnesty I recall was under Reagan. Funny how history has a way of biting you in the ass.
It's actually not a laughing matter. I mean ... Justin Bieber!
Of course they do, They need new and easy additions to their voter base...
Somehow in this mess let at least one good thing happen and send Justin Bieber back to wherever he came from
@ cjcold
LOL. I agree with you about Jim Carrey, but think of what actors like Mary Pickford, Norma Shearer, Raymond Burr, Lorne Greene, Walter Pidgeon, Marie Dressler, John Candy, Walter Huston and Gene Lockhart did in their day. And would you throw Ryan Gosling, Donald Sutherland and his son Kiefer, Graham Greene, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Plummer, Victor Garber, Martin Short and James Doohan (Star Trek Scotty) out?
That guy gives me gas, he is just annoying
@ katrix
LOL. I agree with you about Justin Bieber, but how do you feel about Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Celine Dion, David Foster, Diana Krall, Avril Lavigne, Robbie Robertson (The Band), and Buffy Sainte-Marie?
@ Charger
I can't stand his facial expressions - the penguins acted better than he did.
He could care less that a lot of government workers are not getting paid all because of his obsession about a useless wall.
Morning Paula .. hope you are well and had a nice Christmas .. even though I know things must be difficult...
I am curious about one thing... when did government workers become so sacred .. there are quite a few GM workers struggling this Christmas as well .. wondering how in the near future their bills will be paid … the difference between the 2 being that the gov employees will return to work with pay and benefits intact .. their bills may be late, but paid .. can the same be said about the average American when their job ends, when they are laid off?
I find it difficult to boo hoo over the government being shutdown … it would be nice if it was shutdown for a downsizing and a competency clean up - but alas the same dysfunctional individuals will be returning from a paid vacation soon enough …
What a sec.....didn't Scumbag tell us (and them) how great he's made their lives--and everyone else's?
Hello Atheist .. always such a pleasure to see and read your ooo so deep thoughts. I sincerely hope you had an extremely sweet Christmas celebration at your home and that your New Year will be a delight....
Why, thanks for your oooo so snarky wishes, CMF. I had a magnificent Xmas and the New Year looks very rosy to me. A very, very happy 2019 to you, to.
“Poll undercuts Dem. narrative – 89% of border agents want wall system
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that in a survey conducted by the National Border Patrol Council — the union that represents the agents who patrol the border — 89 percent of agents supported adding a “wall system” in certain high-traffic locations to help catch or deter those who try to enter the country illegally.
The survey of more than 600 agents in two of the Border Patrol’s busiest sectors found just 7 percent of agents disagreed with the notion that a “wall system in strategic locations is necessary to securing the border.”
Benjamine “Carry” Huffman, the head of strategic planning for U.S. Border Patrol.
Huffman called a border wall “essential to gaining operational control.”
“The fact is, when it comes to border security, the border wall system works,” Huffman said in a statement. “Suggestions that the Border Patrol believes otherwise are false.”
That simply isn't true. Less than 1/2 of 1% of border agents even mentioned a wall when asked how best to secure the SW border.
Seems all that border agents want is more technology (drones, 4x4 vehicles and detection gear) and more boots on the ground.
Seems Trump is wrong about the border "emergency" like he is wrong about everything. What else is new?
Fear of the "other" is all Trump needs to keep his fearful low IQ base in line.
Iwo Jima.
After 9 months of continuous aerial bombardment and naval shelling one of the largest US Naval armadas ever assembled plastered Iwo Jima with everything they had.
22,000 Japanese emerged from their tunnels virtually unscathed.
Even after 21,000 Japanese casualties and 6,800 US Marines killed, it took 3 years for the last Japanese LT to surrender.
There is no substitute for boots on the ground.
There is a reason that the Infantryman is called the ultimate weapon...
Can you please provide documentation regarding your claim about percentages of CBP agents?
Hell yes they want it, it would keep them working. And they get to kill more kids and tear gas the country of Mexico
That is all Trump does, lie and whine. He values nothing but money. He doesn't have a normal set of human values. He lied to our troops, waited 2 years before visiting the troops and only did so because of the enormouse negative press, he had to be shamed into it. Then uses the troops to lie to them and whine about his personal grievances.
The only thing Trump has said he "loves" are the stupid people who follow him and even then we see the negative effects of job losses, stock market losses, farmers losing in the tariff "wars" who needed to be bailed out, the coal jobs that still never came back, the steel companies that never did "expand", the government shutdown that hurts workers and our troops.
Even if Trump openly stated he hates his base and is doing this to them purposely, they will deny it and forgive him. Trump knows full well that his base is stupid enough to support him no matter what he does, no matter how horrible the policy, no matter how horrible the outcomes, they blindly pledge their loyalty to him and he know it.
If a following is so blind and entrenched in believing in Trump he could care less that every move he makes hurts them, he enjoys hurting them knowing they will allow it to happen gladly.
Trump is incapable of not acting like an asshole no matter the situation.
