A hostile foreign power interfered with the US election in an intelligence operation that helped to successfully install their preferred candidate.
In reality the " hostile foreign power" is more likely the democrat party machine.

Lie, deny, and obfuscate.

That is the truth   
And no democrat can prove otherwise
Of course it is the truth. Why would we want to prove you DON'T lie, deny and obfuscate when even you admit it is true you do it?

That the democrat party machine colluded?

Yes, it is true - no democrat party machine can prove the negative.

Fortunately, the Trump folks seem pretty good at providing Mueller with the evidence that they colluded with the Russians - the hostile foreign power.

And... for all your brave talk about proof, you have zip, zero, nada, none of it about your bogus allegation.

Like I said, all you do is lie, deny, and obfuscate.

Over the last several years, I’ve met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by fiirearms. I’ve held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. So sad. So terrible. I will never forget the pain in their eyes, the tremble in their voices, and the sadness gripping their souls.

How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?

To those who refuse to compromise in the name of gun safety, I would ask: Imagine if it was your child, your husband, or your wife whose life was so cruelly shattered and totally broken?

To every member of Congress: Pass a bill that ends this crisis.

To every citizen: Call Congress and tell them to finally, after all of these decades, secure our firearms.

Notice Mitch McConnell was invisible after the GOP Senate meeting?
It’s been rumored that Mitch has signed himself into the witness protection program. You’ll be able to see him from time to time if he can catch a flight into Washington from Wyoming.

Heh.

Meanwhile, while we are distracted by various dumpster fires and prison yard face-offs, the administration continues to erode the laws that protect citizens...

The Trump administration is considering a far-reaching rollback of civil rights law that would dilute federal rules against discrimination in education, housing and other aspects of American life, people familiar with the discussions said.

A recent internal Justice Department memo directed senior civil rights officials to examine how decades-old “disparate impact” regulations might be changed or removed in their areas of expertise, and what the impact might be, according to people familiar with the matter. Similar action is being considered at the Education Department and is underway at the Department of Housing and Urban Development....

Its about the drugs as well.  And the criminal element that you would conveniently not lump in with names on terrorist lists.
The wall will not even slow down drugs.
On the contrary;
H.W. and Bill Clinton saw to it that a fence AND a wall were built along the California/Mexico Border and since then illegal trafficking is down over 90 per cent.The same result followed Clinton's wall in El Paso.  A wall sector outside Tuscon and another in Yuma reduced drug trafficking by 95%.

Yuma ain't Organ Pipe. Barriers in urban areas make sense - though note drugs now move through tunnels in places like Nogales. But a wall across the Sonoran desert makes no practical sense and will have no effect on drugs because that is not how drugs enter the country.

So (assuming the drop in drug traffic is a result of those fences and not other concurrent measures taken*) you're saying that the fencing already in place is doing its job and therefore why should we build more fencing.  I completely agree!

* you offered no context for your figures

And those local reductions in trafficking led to an overall decrease in the supply of drugs to the US?  Or were alternate routes found after obvious holes were plugged early in the war on drugs?

Classic Trump statement:

When during the campaign, I would say 'Mexico is going to pay for it,' obviously, I never said this.

Obviously I never said something that I admit that I said earlier in this very same sentence.
