Discussion: After Trump's Shutdown Threat, Sanders Dodges Border Wall Funding Questions

Even a truly adept and brilliant press secretary would have a brutal time trying to defend this indefensible travesty of a presidency.

She also stares down, frowning when a question is being posed, never making eye contact with the questioner, and showing nothing but utter contempt. It is so clear that she is deciding which memorized line she will use to NOT answer the question. Her responses are so insulting, they should just send in one or two reporters with question no from all written down.

She is just plain hideous in her behavior, but I see she took Scaramucci’s advice about somebody slapping some make up on her and actually curling and brushing her hair.

In other words, she is a perfect representative for trump.

Isn’t that always the case?

I’m guessing she’s looking down at her iPad for instant prompts from behind the curtain.

“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.

I believe that when President Trump told Mexico they were going to pay for the wall, Mexico told President Trump to fuck off. So, there’s that.

I’m so embarrassed for the journalism profession, which is flogging this story. FAKE NEWS, all of it!!

There should be no discussion of shutting down the government over funding for the wall. No U.S. funding is needed, and we all know it.

Every one of us knows deep in our souls that Mexico is going to pay for the Wall. Our Dear Leader has spoken, and you can TAKE THAT TO THE [Deutsche] BANK!

Now, the only thing is to make sure that Mexico’s check is denominated in DOLLARS, not PESOS.

Reporter: “But didn’t Mexico tell President Trump to go fuck himself with an Aztec pyramid?”
Sanders: “I believe you may be taking that remark out of context.”

So Vox picks up a study from someone name Taegan Goddard on a site called Politicalwire.com. Oops, but to read the ‘study’ you’re referencing (as @tena did yesterday) you have to pay first and become a member. So Vox interviews UMass professor who explains what the mysterious study really means - according to new numbers released Wednesday by our professor Schaffner. And of course his analysis is 100% accurate because … we hate BernieBros anyway.

As they use to say on Madison Ave, ‘raise the flag up the poll and see who salutes.’

Tsk, tsk. Poor Sarah. She inherited her daddy’s brains and his looks.
Goddamned genetics!

Ah, that’s so cute dommy. And special.

“The President’s committed to making sure this gets done,” Sanders said, not answering the question directly. “We’re going to continue to push forward, the President has made it clear that he will temporarily shut down the American government if Mexico does not agree to pay for the wall’s construction.”

Ok then.

hahahahaha Because shutting down our government will definitely coerce Mexico into doing something Trump wants them to do.

You could not make this shit up.

Yet shit still happens.

Like what?

They will be tied up in courts over eminent domain for years before they ever build a damn thing.

And they can’t build anything in the Big Bend until they build roads. And that’s going to be an epic project in and of itself - that’s some of the most rugged inaccessible terrain on the continent.

I wasn’t equating shit to the wall, although that very idea is shit. Rather, i was insinuating that shit like T rump, and Sessions, and Pence, and McTurtle, and Gorka, and Pruitt, and… (yada-yada-yada)…shit like these turds still happen.

Still, your assessment is quite accurate. It will never be built.
