In latest shot at Mexico, Trump proposes U.S. penalty for drugs

How long until he walks back this nonsense. What an idiot with moronic supporters that are afraid of their own shadows.

Seems like he's completely given up on governing. It's all tweeting, rallies, golf vacations, blame Democrats, rinse and repeat.

If they don't we're going to tariff their cars at 25 percent."

He's aping Maxwell Smart's 'Would you believe...' again. And no I won't believe; I can't believe a single thing he says. (Windmills cause cancer? His father was born in Germany? Inauguration attendance? Contacts with Russia? and 9,000+ more) Only those unable to tell truth from lies, those who continue to spread Trump's lies, those unwilling to accept anything even remotely critical of Trump continue to believe him. Cult of personality redux.

Interesting, Democrats keep saying they are for border security, the former DHS says its an emergency we need to do something, ICE keep reiterating that position, the CBP are saying this non-stop and yet, the Democrats are nowhere to be found, can’t blame the President for acting unilaterally, he should do whatever it takes to get this catastrophe under control, but yes, they care. Now if they would about the border as much as they care about his taxes, the country would be by far in better shape.

That's it, Mr. President, keep the pressure on, we have a crisis at the border. It's a threat to the nation not only because of the drugs coming across and the financial burden, but for psychological reasons as well. It makes us look weak and confused when Congress can't even come together to do something as simplistic and straightfoward and obviously necessary as securing our border. There's an argument to made about putting the military in charge of the situation, at the very least they have a sense of strategic thinking.

How long until he walks back this nonsense. 

He's not gonna walk it back because it's not nonsense it's a crisis.

Contacts with Russia?

Beat that dead horse! LOL!

Blaming Mexico for illegal drugs in America is like blaming McDonalds for your food-addiction. The drug cartels exists for two reasons: 1) Because there is an enormous demand for drugs IN THE UNITED STATES, and 2) because drugs are illegal.

The war on drugs is even more ridiculous and dumb than the prohibition. Probably millions of innocent people have been killed or arrested, trillions of dollars have been wasted, and what is the result? Nothing. This to me is so ridiculous i have no words to describe it. It's like the North Korean regime trying to stop people from watching foreign movies. Did the war on alcohol worked? No. Did the war on sugar worked? No. Did the war on tobacco worked? No. Did the UK war on corn products worked? No. Did the Soviet war on foreign products worked? No. Then what the hell makes you think the war on drugs will work when it hasn't worked for over 10 years now? Mindlessly idiotic. You can never stop the supply of something popular. That's a LAW, remember it.

Also, for those of you who wonder why are there so many illegal immigrants in the US, and why don't they just get on line, here's a simple illustration of the answer: https://reason.org/wp-content/uploads/files/a87d1550853898a9b306ef458f116079.pdf

What if Americans stopped using drugs?

"Our country is full," Trump said in a warning to migrants."Can't take you anymore.

Don't worry, Trump fans. I'm sure he will still import cheaper foreign workers for his resorts. He won't lose a dime.

Anti-Trumpers will LOVE this, hehe

Watch Trump receive a memorable gift from Border Patrol chief

Wow! I’m sure that dig got him!

Why are Trumpophiles against immigration unless Donny is doing it?

Let's talk about hypocrisy:

Trumpophiles: Mueller is taking to long! Which means he has nothing.

Mueller: Here's my report.

Trumpophiles: See! SEE! Mueller had nothing! (Never mind that they haven't actually read the report.

Everyone else: Release the report.

Trumpophiles: We just have to wait for the report to be released. Please, please forget that we were literally just screaming at the top of our lungs for the report to be released.

Why are Trumpophiles against immigration unless Donny is doing it?

Trump has a 757.

Mexico should fine America for not paying tax on the drugs it imports.

We just have to wait for the report to be released. Please, please forget that we were literally just screaming at the top of our lungs for the report to be released.

Because we knew Mueller and his angry band of Hillary supporting Democrat lawyers were on a fruitless fishing expedition and they were so right. Now there is the report out there that the house Democrats were trying to change trumps banking records from Capital One Bank and the bank politely said to them that, if they want to get the records they should do it legally by giving them a subpoena, how sneaky these people are, how low and dirty these people are.

What a deep dive into right wing conspiracy territory.

The president might have been cleared of collusion

Not “might not”, he was cleared, done, signed, sealed and delivered.

applies equally to his supporters and trumpeters

That he’s innocent, yes, I admit that.

He has already given up, at least until after the next election, on Obamacare because he's clueless about Trumpcare. All his way of MAGA?

He hasn’t given up at all, he’s going to wait and see, you guys at the same thing about the travel ban that he is not going to go through with it he’s going to give up he never did come in the same scenario is going to play out with this as well. I think you should give Mexico a chance in to evaluate the situation little bit more and then if nothing happens, the silver border.

Here’s the issue. Trump conflates the opioid epidemic in the U.S. with families traveling from Central America seeking asylum. Even if one were to believe this asinine assertion (as Trumpsters readily do), building a new wall addresses neither problem, as both overwhelmingly concern legal ports of entry.

Trump says these outlandish things in order to take center stage and dominate the narrative.

“Our country is full. Can’t take you anymore.”

Dog whistle.

Here’s the issue. Trump conflates the opioid epidemic in the U.S.

I think he needs to bring it up more actually.

with families traveling from Central America seeking asylum.

Which is a crisis in itself, something we desperately don’t need now. Let Mexico take them in, they have the money and resources.

building a new wall addresses neither problem,

That’s like saying, why have a front or a bathroom door, doesn’t do anything, it’s unnecessary and not needed.

as both overwhelmingly concern legal ports of entry.

Trump says these outlandish things in order to take center stage and dominate the narrative.

Actually, the media are worse at shouting out outlandish things and the president has the right to hammer this home constantly in nonstop, not only should we have a wall but we should increase border security and on all fronts including the ports

So is he not closing the border? Because he said he would. Then he would if Congress didn’t act. Which they didn’t.

Was there really any point to this if everyone is ignoring him?

Before you comment, you might want to check the meaning of “conflate” and read the rest of my sentence.

Actually, I think it’s the other way around. Lol

I know the meaning of "conflate". You obviously don't, or can't admit that you didn't. In case you don't know, "conflate" does not mean "inflate".

Here’s the thing though...amazingly, the government can walk and chew gum at the same time, so both issues can be dealt with.

I never said they can't. My point is that a wall doesn't solve either the drug problem or the asylum problem. Trump's proposed wall solves no problem other than to give his base a collective chubby.

Sorry, a wall is a wall 

Alright, then. Build walls everywhere. Put a big concrete barrier around the White House because Israel uses them along the West Bank.

and asking Nancy on this issue on her opinion is like asking Cher for opinion on Stock trading.

Read again, please.

I feel sorry for America, both for what Trump is doing to the country, and what Americans are doing to themselves. Their world seems to be becoming rapidly unhinged, and there's not enough counterforce at work to pull them back from the brink.

When the wall is finished it will be too high for these illegal child endangerment invader parents to throw their innocent vulnerable children over like they have been doing.

Control the border. Go Trump.

I don't think Trump understands the dangers of a country so dependent on cocaine as America is going cold turkey en masse.
