The only impenetrable thing in sight is his skull.

Trump is having a very strange and enchanted morning:

But there’s been plenty of wind so no one’s televisions have gone dark unless they were on PGE.

I’m waiting for him to blame the Democrats for this.

It’s about as “powerful” as his impeachment defense. Quite similar, actually – complete BS and full of holes.

Literally Trump increases power tool sales in border towns. Sears Craftsman stays in business.

Powerful, strongly and beautiful but nevertheless useless.

That water is about agriculture in Nunes district and other areas in Central CA. He is confusing the issues on purpose. Makes it sound like fire fighters are begging for water when they are not. Trump just continues to lie and gaslight.

But for his base, it only matters that he sounds as if he were tough:

He’s completely full of shit. Even his base knows that, but they love it that he’s bringing it to noted California liberal elitist, friend of LGBTQ people and abortion, Gavin Newsom. When “winning” and ”owning the libs” (who you know, just know, don’t respect you) are the only things that count, the bullshit lies and false bravado are not only just fine, they are an absolutely essential aspect of the leader’s qualities in that one can vicariously share in the blatant noising abroad of the disrespect. It really is a kind of “dare to be stupid.”

Not useless. It is used to show his base that he kept ANOTHER of his campaign promises. There is a wall. Of sorts.

“Frankly, when I invited the Russian Army in to help keep the peace when there was civil unrest, I didn’t think that they would stay. But no matter how powerful, you sometimes can mix up your allies and your adversaries, in all fairness.”

Mr. USA is going to try to cut off Federal aid to California because the governor’s not sweeping the forest floor AND listening to environmentalists not him.

@bankerpup The occupant is in fact blaming CA for something, just not the failing wall.

Didn’t he say about a month ago the wall was impenetrable and had hi-tech stuff that he should not have disclosed but did anyway? smh

Not being in the loyal but very dumb base I can say I’m not impressed by a penetrable wall when the promise was to keep out drug dealers, rapists, etc. by erecting one.
