I'm stating that by vote it has been shown that Americans across the great expanse want the wall. I know both of you absolutely hate the idea of border security (god knows why). It would protect people and save money related to immigration.

Now personally I think congress and the entire government as a whole is completely incompetent, it always has been. I think its both a failure and an uphill battle. Showing you the map is just a reminder that more people want the wall across the United States. You seem to forget awfully quickly what those results were.

Well for starters, the majority of Americans don't want a wall. See 2016 and 2018 elections.

Right, and Hillary is President.

I used to give him credit for being not as dumb as he constantly appears .... Figure be became president, he can't be THAT much of an imbecile in real life.

But no - dude is a straight up Moron.

He has a lot more money than you. So what does that say about MGH.

By that logic, any rich kid who was born into money is automatically better than you.

Sandusky is one of those rare towns where people have more pocket change than they do iq points.

Apparently. Did you see his response to me? I’ve never seen anybody brag about what somebody else has quite like trump supporters.

It’s so funny watching the same people who trash celebrities turn around in defend a reality tv star.

Ok. I did not read this thread at all.

My question is: Why is Trump so obsessed with this wall idea, instead of fixing Healthcare?

It seems it would be better to fix a problem that affects all citizens in the US, vs fixing a problem that only involves a handful of wannabe citizens from Mexico/Wherever.

I mean, Trump did say repeal/replace in first 100 days. What happened there?

Nobody cares about a freakin wall.

Triple-amputee Air Force veteran on mission to raise $1B for US-Mexico border wall

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/veteran-launches-gofundme-campaign-to-help-fund-border-wall

A triple amputee U.S. military veteran says he was inspired to raise money for President Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall after reading a New York Post article that questioned why no one had taken up the mantle.

In just three days, Brian Kolfage’s GoFundMe campaign, “We The People Will Fund The Wall,” has racked up more than $2 million from more than 34,000 people, with a goal of raising $1 billion.

"If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall," the page reads. "That equates to roughly 5Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this."

Kolfage wrote that the campaign has been in touch with the Trump administration “to secure a point of contact where all funds will go upon completion.”

“As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today,” Kolfage’s page reads. “Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society.”

He added: “Democrats are going to stall this project by every means possible and play political games to ensure President Trump doesn’t get his victory. They'd rather see President Trump fail than see America succeed. However, if we can fund a large portion of this wall, it will jumpstart things and will be less money Trump has to secure from our politicians.”

Kolfage is a retired U.S. Air Force member who served in Iraq. During his second deployment for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004, Kolfage was injured in a rocket attack at Balad Air Base. According to Kolfage's website, a 107mm rocket shell exploded about three feet away from him. Kolfage lost both legs and his right hand and required 11 months of therapy at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Kolfage continued to serve in the Air Force for several more years and was assigned to Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona as the base security manager. Kolfage is "the most severely wounded Airman to survive any war," his website states. He is now a motivational speaker and has appeared multiple times on FOX News.

Kolfage graduated from the University of Arizona's School of Architecture in 2014 and is now married with children.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. This week, the White House retracted its $5 billion figure to fund the border wall amid a looming government shutdown.

“We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion that we’ll work with Congress,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Fox News on Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday indicated the Senate will consider a stopgap measure to continue funding the government to avert a government shutdown – but it won’t include Trump’s desired allocation for border wall funding because of the “reality of our political moment.”

BORDER WALL EFFORT GETTING BOOST FROM US SHERIFFS' CROWDFUNDING SITE

Kolfage's campaign is not the first crowdfunding effort to raise money for the border wall. In September the National Sheriff's Association launched a website for donations. As of mid-December, the website has garnered nearly $160,000.

So far $2,717,732

Good, looks like they got my check!

I'm stating that by vote it has been shown that Americans across the great expanse want the wall. I know both of you absolutely hate the idea of border security (god knows why). It would protect people and save money related to immigration.

Now personally I think congress and the entire government as a whole is completely incompetent, it always has been. I think its both a failure and an uphill battle. Showing you the map is just a reminder that more people want the wall across the United States. You seem to forget awfully quickly what those results were.

imagine being so bad at reading that you literally post an image where it says a million more people voted for Clinton and you still think you're in the majority

Apparently you don't understand how the electoral college system works in the United States or the method of election. Sounds like you need to go back to grade school civics class.

Again, the fact is, that by the electoral college, which is a better representative of what Americans truly want, shows that the wall is wanted.

So then you do or don't understand how the electoral college works, the win in 2016, and how Trump's republican ideas and what he supports won? You do know one of his campaign points was to build a wall and the it was voted for. I can re-hash 2016 year all over again for you if you would like though.

I can break it down for you though. Generally when a president wins through the electoral college that equals a victory. This means that across the United States more people liked Trumps ideas, including the wall. If you don't want the electoral college and instead a mob majority, then only New York and Los Angeles votes would matter.

Good, looks like they got my check!

the election results shows you're wrong.

polling shows you're wrong.

the presidents approval numbers shows you're wrong.

the wall does not have majority support. the guy pushing the idea doesn't even have majority support. just stop it.

This is like the time you bragged to everyone about sending $8 to that Stormfront Nazi kid for a printed copy of a Photoshop he made.

That was the Philadelphia Inquirer and it still is not a Nazi organization.

Some things never change, like your crap posts.

Don't go away mad.
Just go away.

My late mother suffered from Altheimer's and my brother and I were ultra-protective of people trying to rip her off. I do worry about America's elderly being ripped-off by Trump's narrative.
