All Trump has done since he took over is make the border situation worse than it was. His threats and posturing encouraged thousands who were only casually thinking of making the journey to join caravans and come north before it is too late. Meanwhile the reality of bluff and back down is that there is nothing in place to stop them.

There's a new Dune movie coming out? The Dune novels are really tough to translate to the screen. I saw the first one and they did the best they could, I think. Hope the new one is better than Aquaman, lol.

If you supported him as I did, you're going to have to confront what's really happening and realize nothing will get handled by him.
How is Trump worse than his predecessors on illegal immigration? That makes no sense at all. No, Trump does not want to inflate legal immigration numbers to the skies either.

Sorry, I meant President Kushner.

Well, only one is POTUS now and dealing with issues like that this thread is about.

Try to keep a relative focus. I know that, after these 8,000 or so lies, it gets tough.

But we are talking about present day and future. You know...the world we all live in!

There does not have to be anything at all happening.

When Trump wants to throw some red meat--"The Wall"! When Trump needs to deflect--"The Wall!" When Trump isn't the center of attention--"The Wall!" When Trump's polls are sinking--"The Wall!"

It's now a MacGuffin.

I'm hoping this final season of GOT puts an end to any thoughts of being protected by The Wall.

That was a very convenient excuse for Trump to say "I'm fighting hard to get this wall, but the Democrats won't let me". Although the bill was sponsored by 8 republicans, 7 democrats and 1 independent.

Not blind or deaf, but the only one I've heard claim the wall is being built is Trump himself. If he says it, that means it's not true.
