the good thing about an imaginary wall is that it only takes imaginary money to build it.

That was my first question. I assume that stuff like the funding underlying the detention beds and other stuff like cages for kids and guards at the holding facilities, etc., which has nothing to do with the 50 miles of fencing are all getting lumped together into this sum as “border security” which the slavering base are swallowing as “WALL!!!”

Dickhead.

But, to give him his due, I have to admit he’s a master propagandist of untruths, deflection and deceit.

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t need your money, IT’S BEING BUILT.

Facepalm…

All ya gotta do is change the marketing strategy.

Bingo, bango … the magic criminal-repelling, drug-rejecting, big, strong, beautiful wall is built. I can almost see it when I close my eyes and listen to his melodious voice or open my eyes to read his engaging tweets.

This is what makes him the hardest working president ever. Pulling the wool over millions of pairs of eyes isn’t easy, and adjusting the wool to keep those eyes covered when they’re almost seeing light is even tougher.

Almost everything he has said for the past two weeks (OK, 4 years) has absolutely defied logic to the point that it’s astonishing that he still has supporters of any kind. At this point, he’s just flailing around trying to figure out a way to make this a win. Stand by for some truly horrific assaults on decency, coming to a White House near you.

Trump has given us all a master class on getting to yes. All you have to do is throw up your hands and say, “I surrender.” Then declare victory. See kids?This is how the masters of negotiation do it.

And when the whole exercise is billed as solving an imaginary problem, it’s even better. You can take a real-life humiliating defeat and call it laudable progress.

This fact (as much as we love to insult the man) should have been near the top of our priorities in dealing with Trump.

I also believe that Trump’s mental illness makes this skill of his second nature and, in point of fact, necessary for his continued existence as a human.

If you’re thinking of running for office in 2020, PLEASE get to it!

I saw Will Smith do that with his son in the film, “The Pursuit of Happyness”.

  • It was for them alone
  • It helped both him and his son when they were at their wits end
  • It demonstrated (for parents and future parents) what love for a child is
  • It had no result of harming other humans

Other than that, Trump can rejoice that all of the characters described, “had something in common”

We have a national emergency: the president is a racist.

The Trump era will be looked back on as a deep, dark stain on our nation. How a totally unqualified, mentally ill narcissist ever rose to POTUS is as much an indictment of the electorate as it is the clown himself.

It’s only news when he signs. Otherwise, Trump business as usual.

One can fool some men, or all men in some places and times, but one cannot fool all men in all places and ages.
Jacques Abbadie, Traite de la Verite de la Religion Chretienne, 1684

At least with respect to Donnie Two-scoops, his Trumpets and Trumpettes clearly fall in Abbadie’s first class.

Trump touted the deal’s allotment of $23 billion for border security and then thanked Republicans for “dealing with the Radical Left.”

Today we added another glorious victory to our list of accomplishments, making it safe to say Merry Christmas, our Nixon to China reopening of meaningless communications with Kim Jung Un, our psychological and physical torture of young immigrant children, our restoration of the wounded psyches of aging white Segregationists and their fraternity and sorority populating children, and putting a serial rapist drunk sociopath on the US Supreme Court for the next 30 years.
