Unless this Border Patrol agent can explain how Mexico will pay for that wall, I think Iā€™d rather listen to true experts on immigration issues. Thanks for playing though.

I am not reading the article because Iā€™m sick of this lunatic but just wanted to say, true to his disgusting form, he has to do something to take away the thunder of what happened in the House today. Heā€™s had a week for antics but instead sulked in the WH.

So fucking lame that he thinks this stunt will grab the headlines from the dems being sworn in and Pelosi grabbing the gavel. This one can go below the hemorrhoid-treatment ads on page 46.
