The Brits and Theresa May are much better at the redirection and confounding game.

“He’s not saying that Mexico is going to pay for it,” another reporter asserted in a separate exchange.

“He hasn’t said they’re not, either,” Sanders replied.

Wow. That is just some weak, weak tea.

That wasn’t a dodge, that was a joke. If it’s a dodge you don’t end up with crap dripping down your face. She walks away with crap dripping off her face every time she leaves the podium.

Maybe it’s her love of birthday cake.
Which according to Chapter 2 of Harassment in the Workplace webinar we just had to endure can be used to harass someone if you leave it on their desk during Ramadan and their name is Tariq.

Has Scott Pruitt already decided that there’s no need for an environmental impact assessment?

One guy in the Valley (Rio Grande) got a letter from DHS or whomever is responsible for it saying they planned to pay him a whole $400 for half of his lot, where he is currently building a house, that they plan to take by eminent domain for the Trump Wall. Yeah, that’s just compensation. /s

Even some of the Trumpers in the Valley are getting pissed about the wall.

Oh dear Lord don’t give them the idea that they can embed, paint, attach all those confederate memorial statues on our side of the Wall.

Not just some. Last time this was discussed I was still in Dallas and they interviewed a number of people who live right on the border and they are furious about having their land taken - some of it was homesteaded by their great great grandparents and I know the government is threatening to build through people’s property - cutting it in half and shit.

There are lawsuits pending right now.

As forbidding and ominous as one of those gigantic Olmec heads. Just as round too.

Yes, and there is another characteristic she shares with those heads - heaviness. I mean her entire being - it projects heaviness, heaviness of body and psyche/spirit/personality.

Basically, his staff just try to pretend his worst statements aren’t real and don’t represent any actual policy; they also try to deflect so these stories get no “legs” which may lead to their idiot boss forgetting he even cared about the issue for awhile. And then maybe it goes away. This has worked so far, but it’s worth noting that the wall crops up every so often. Will he put up with in NEVER being built and Mexico not offering one penny in payment?
