I didn’t claim that—when I referred to the major win at the mid-terms—
And I agree the country is very polarized at this point
But Trump is doing himself damage and his party (if the GOP is really HIS party) damage with his irrational behavior that doesn’t make anyone except a small minority feel good...

Does anyone in the GOP really think that all Federal employees are Democratic voters???
How disdainful and politicizing is THAT presidential comment!!

NYTimes story that the FBI investigated Trump because of his OWN actions that suggested he was acting in Russia’s best interests...
If Trump is paranoid, he has certainly given people in government reason to think he is acting in Russia’s best interests than in America’s...
Anyone who can’t admit Trump has brought so much of this on himself by acting like he has no boundaries or because he is not bound by conventions has no desire to be objective...

You see a person drink 10 shots of Bourbon and get into their own car to drive home vs calling a cab or Uber or a friend and then say that person wasn’t making a bad decision you are just aiding and abetting an alcoholic...
That is what all these people are doing for Trump—aiding and abetting someone with poor impulse control and judgement who doens’t want to listen to anyone setting boundaries...
Narcissists as bad as Trump are a danger to us all...

God help you.
So what, our very own DEA colludes with drug cartels, this is basically a federal govt agency aiding and abetting a criminal organization, and using US laws as a means to benefit the cartels!


Look what happened after DEA cracked down on opioid prescription drugs in the US, demand for mexican heroin shot thru the roof and remains high today, all thanks to those laws, thanks DEA, for helping the drug cartels rake in even more money! Is there anything else we can do for them while we are at it?

The money can come out of liberal states like California, New York, and New Jersey and also from other areas like foreign aid to Mexico, Planned Parenthood etc. As long as Trump remembers who his base is.

The federal government has a responsibility to provide flood protection in Louisiana and to construct these new hurricane protection projects and to maintain the levees.
Why do you expect blue states to pay for your disasters. I thought conservatives wanted less government. So why doesn’t your state pay for for this.

Even with the human chain, illegals over-staying their visas will still be the largest number coming in and illegals will still come in by the dozens at border crossings. Employers, mostly Republican, will still hire illegals in droves and balk at enforcing e-verify because of their greed.
Right!

Some of you just don't have a clue do you?


Building a wall is not only stupid and expensive, it won't really change a GD thing. Those determined enough to move persons and or other things across the border between USA and Mexico will simply find other ways round. They've done it before and shall continue to so do.


Only way you are ever going to truly stop such things is for mother nature, God, or whoever to create an earthquake so powerful it opens a gap the size of Grand Canyon between Mexico and USA near or right along the border.

Because, as that poster stated, it is the Federal government's responsibility.


By law, it is the Federal government's responsibility:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_Control_Act_of_1928


The Flood Control Act of 1928 was enacted in response to floods in the Mississippi Valley in 1927, but it also covers the Sacramento River in California, a decidedly blue state.


You might want to do some research before asking such knee-jerk political questions.

And the wall prevents more dem voters from coming into the country. Dems will be more outraged because they won't win future elections.
