"You can call it a wall, you can call it a barrier, whatever you want," Trump says, adding that people "want" security.

Trump just promised that he and Pelosi are going to get lots done on infrastructure--wasn't infrastructure some kind of code for impending doom at one point near the beginning of Trump's term?

why do i even ask? forget it

wonder what the people shaming AOC for dancing in a video think about Brett Kavanaugh getting blackout drunk and sexually assaulting young ladies in high school

frogbs, Thursday, 3 January 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

They’re all monsters

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 3 January 2019 21:41 (seven years ago)

So one of the baldheads mentioned he worked for 10 years in Naco, AZ and they need a wall... there's been a wall there for over 40 years (here's a google streetview from 2011):

Not only that but 3 years ago the DHS found a 900 foot tunnel under the aforementioned wall.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 3 January 2019 21:43 (seven years ago)

Trump was just trying to get the spotlight off Pelosi

I don't think there will be Wall ever, but am pretty curious how they'd all respond when an illegal immigrant commits murder after it's in place

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said Thursday that he’s done with elected office.

“There’s no way I’ll return to it,” Gowdy told The Greenville News. “I’m not going to lobby. And if I enjoyed politics, I wouldn’t be leaving.”

Instead, he’s joined Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough as head of the firm’s white-collar defense and government investigations team, the News reported.

“If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have run for Congress in the first place,” Gowdy said, adding: “I will keep the relationships, but I will not be on the ballot ever again.”

must be hard to realize you belong to a party of complete fucking assholes who should be ashamed of themselves for every millisecond of every life they ever live again throughout eternity

Karl Malone, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:13 (seven years ago)

Trump floating Webb's name as Mattis replacement. Bipartisanship!

Funny that it took the right so long to find that AOC video, which I came across the day after she won the primary.

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:33 (seven years ago)

it's better than a non-story it only has people liking her more imo

(•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:34 (seven years ago)

It’s part of their whole agenda. Poverty wages. Paranoia.

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:34 (seven years ago)

It's a nice story about people dancing to a great song and having fun. Makes me want to listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix again for the first time in years.

Frederik B, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:36 (seven years ago)

sans lep (sic), Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:36 (seven years ago)

frogbs, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:43 (seven years ago)

1901 is such a great song.

Frederik B, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:50 (seven years ago)

the public needs to know what other dances AOC knows

can she teach us how to dougie?

Οὖτις, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:52 (seven years ago)

what about the freak, the Patti Duke, or the spank?

Οὖτις, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:52 (seven years ago)

There will definitely be more dance videos as a result. Maybe even some copycats.

Maybe she can do the Electric Slide and capture some of that "rural" vote.

nickn, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:59 (seven years ago)

xp - maybe not fakes, but there's a good chance those have been digitally enhanced for added visual grotesquerie
