You can't push against air, many people have tried, it just doesn't work. But you can push against A WALL because WALLS WORK. WE NEED TO BUILD A WALL IN SPACE TO GET TO MARS!

You can push against air. It does work. But not as good as you can a wall. Walls work really well for that.

@realDonaldTrump
We have just built this powerful Wall in New Mexico. Completed on January 30, 2019 – 47 days ahead of schedule! Many miles more now under construction! #FinishTheWall

Pics or it didn't happen!

ETA: Fact check

"The section of the barrier that Mr. Trump showcased this week was not new construction, but rather replacement for existing fencing. The money for the steel-slatted barrier came from a congressional appropriation in 2017, not from newly authorized spending in the recent deal that averted a government shutdown, or from money the president is seeking to take from other federal projects under his national emergency declaration from last week."

More lies from CLOTUS

Not even remotely, his voters knew he lied all the time and that most of what he said was total garbage, <snip>

I totally disagree. Look at his endless rallies. You really think all that vitriol, hate and cheering for Dump comes from people who know he's lying. Nope. The folks in Gooberville really do believe.

Or consider the overwhelming numbers of evangelicals who support Dump in spite of his faux Christianity. They really believe he's god's gift to the USA; it's not put on or make believe.

I don't think you can judge Trump's support by saying look at his rallies. Huge numbers could show up for them but I doubt that translates to much of a difference at the polls.

First of all, 5G isn't even implemented yet... not even sure 6G is at the planning stage. A bit early to be calling for its implementation.

Secondly, what exactly does Trump plan to do to help? Simply telling the companies that you "want" it isn't really an incentive.

Any idea why Stubby McBonespurs is even mentioning this? Was there some news story on Fox about mobile phones recently? Seems like a rather strange deviation from the whole "Fake News/Witch Hunt" tweets we normally see.

One news article last week in the evil Fake News world said that the US's fight against Huawei was going to hamper the roll out of 5G. Someone on Fox & Friends or the Tucker Carlson White Power Hour must have noticed it.

So?

In his fortress of solitude, Supertrump here's the cry of his people. "This sounds like a job for.....SUPERTRUMP! Faster than a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower. More Powerful than a reporter with disabilities. Able to Leap to several erroneous and unrelated conclusions in a single brainfart. Yes! It's Supertrump, storange visitor from another planet, who came to the Oval Office with powers and abilities yet to be seen. Supertrump, who can appoint golfing buddies to cabinet posts, bend the laws with his bare hands. And who, disguised as Baby Huey, temper-tantrum throwing man-child never even considered for a position on a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for two scoops of ice cream to your one!"

And now another exciting episode of Supertrump. Episode eighty-seven, "Waaaah, I don't like the Chinese so you nerds that I am shafting every chance I get need to step up your game! Thank you, and Godblessamerka."

I started checking the demographics of the areas he holds his rallies during the special election in PA. I lived in the area and noted that he was holding his "Eeeeee! It's Donnie! He waved at me, Buford!" rallies. They are in the safest red zones he can get to. If twenty protesters show up they're probably bussed in from out of town. When he ventures into unsafe territory like El Paso the police just pray that someone like Beto comes along to focus the opposition. Otherwise Donnie's got 10k angry people where he claims there are Trumpistas lining up to get in to bask in his glow.(Hint: Donnie, the bucket of tar and bag of feathers are not tributes. They have other uses.)

Check out the maps, for instance of where he holds rallies in Florida and Missouri. Far away from the big metropolitan centers in safe deplorable territory.

His schedule for the campaigns he was supporting in 2018 looked like the launch tour of the Larry The Cable Guy Barbecue Real Good Cookbook.

Trump is going to have his ego stroked. It's a visit to the massage parlor complete with a "happy ending".

I think “packing” or “stacking” the court usually refers to adding or subtracting the number of Justices on the court. Trump has not done that.



One would expect a Republican president to appoint conservative judges. Though one might be opposed to conservative judges, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it.

Actually there is something fundamentally wrong with the USA approach, and that is that you decide on who to place on your supreme court by their political afilliation.
