The discussions have intensified as the president is now 14 days into a partial government shutdown, facing newly empowered House Democrats who are refusing to budge issue of wall funding. "We are not doing a wall," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday, calling the proposed structure an "immorality."

Well there you go.
The "immorality" is not building a wall and securing the border.

Reasonable minds can differ. I prefer "stupidity" to "immorality."

Yep. Unlike Bambu you know what the topographical map of the U.S. looks like. Like Bambu, though, you're very stupid and actually believe what Trump says.

I am sorry the kid drowned in my pool, officer.  I didn't fence it in because I knew he would just find a way in anyway.

Don't fucking lie, man.  You just want everyone to be able to come in.

Just say it.

 You've mad a solid argument, man, for putting a fence, man, around the entire U.S., man. Truth be told, man, not only do I not want everybody to come in, MAN, I'd like my own personal authority to send people out. Man.

It sure would help...just one link in the chain though.

Former Indonesian President 'SBY' [Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono]…a good friend of Australia[no way he would've execution-slaughtered Aussie boys Chan and Sukumaran]…said to Australia about the people-smuggling boats arriving on Australia's shores;

"Take the honey off the table".

Wise words indeed.

bambu doesn't actually believe anything anyone[except mrs bambu] says, without 'caution'. 
Can see Trump 'a mile way'. Still waiting for him to say out of his own mouth that "ANZUS Alliance is rock-solid".
One day he says something, next day he often says something different.

Trouble is...majority of Americans seem to love heaping 'honey' onto the table...not taking it off.

'Honey' = free housing, free schooling, free food, free clothing, free medical care, free hospitals, free jobs [no lining up]...etc etc etc.

Nobody knows more about drones than Trump!

In fact, listening to him drone on about how wonderful he is, it is clear he has mastered droning.

When I was young I worked in an office with a guy about the same age who said to me; "If you tell the boss how good you are, what a good operator you are...long enough and loud enough...eventually he'll believe you".
And "promote yourself at every opportunity".
Worked for him.

I've had bosses like that.

I've had brown nosing colleagues like that.

Neither has been good for the businesses.

I don't like being fired for honesty, but I by far prefer it to getting promoted for lying.

It does not surprise me that you prefer the latter, strongly.

Build a swimming pool with a 2000 mile border that goes through the terrain that our border with Mexico does and the judge will clear you of responsibility.

The numbers are the lowest they've been on average in more than 40 years. You know that. I know that. Even Trump probably knows it. No emergency exists. And that becomes all the more obvious by the DoJ's lying about their successes against terrorism to try to make their case.

Yeah!

If only we got rid of the kind of country we want to live in, people wouldn't want to live here as much!

No wonder you think highly of President Trump.
