Do not watch Trump's propaganda on TV tonight. Don't give him the ratings. You can find out what he said later, but really you already know what it's going to be about: lies.
There is no national crisis; there are no hordes of illegals crossing the border; there is no crisis.
Trump is a liar:
Donald Trump says that he has been talking with some of the past presidents about the Republican/Trump Wall and some of them told him that they should have built a wall years ago.
FACT: Every living president (President Obama, President Bush, President Carter, President Clinton) say they never talked with Donald Trump about the Republican/Trump Wall. If it wasn’t any of our living presidents, just who has Donald Trump been talking to?
Why do Goopers continue to support this mentally deranged and morally diseased man?
There Is No Crisis At The Border - And DHS Stats Prove It
"...data coming from [Trump's] own administration show there is no such crisis. This year, illegal cross-border migration is only about 11% higher than at the same point last year – and the administration said last year was the “lowest level” on record.
Not long ago, in December 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released and promoted an upbeat report declaring that illegal entry in the United States had reached historically low levels. “In FY17, CBP recorded the lowest level of illegal cross-border migration on record, as measured by apprehensions along the border and inadmissible encounters at U.S. ports of entry,” stated a Trump administration report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). (Emphasis added.)

The report reflected reality: Border Patrol apprehensions along the Southwest border plummeted by approximately 80%, from a high of over 1.6 million in FY 2000, to around 300,000 in FY 2017. (Apprehensions are considered a proxy for illegal entry, so the fewer apprehensions, the less illegal entry.)

This is the number 1 example of what SUCKERS tRump supporters are. The completely republican controlled congress passed massive budget busting tax cuts almost right out of the gate... yet TWO YEARS into tRump's administration the completely republican controlled congress never passed legislation appropriating bupkis for tRump's idiotic wall.
Now, with Democrats in control of the House... suddenly it's a priority? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... you were PLAYED. What maroons. The House will never appropriate even $1 for tRump's stupid wall.
Well, yes, Anon. TrumpCultists tend to overlook that fact. But then, they overlook all of Trump's stupidities because they're a reflection of their own nincompoopery.
Trump indeed had the power to finance the stupid wall and did not use it. The questionb now is why? And why now?
He wants to make it a fight with the Dems and somehow show that the Dems don't want border security, which is, of course, a lie.
Trump sits on a throne of lies.
I will watch his address. He could say something truthful and intelligent or, it might be just another Trump comedy routine.
And. I sure as hell (oops) want to hear what Pelosi and Schumer say in the D's rebuttal.
Many Americans are sick to death of mealy-mouthed politicians and, for that reason, voted for Trump in 2016 and they got a foul-mouthed, liar who is proud of his cheating, especially on his many wives with his many porn star mistresses and hookers, and we righteous Republicans support lying, cheating, whoring, incompetence, and bullying because those are our values and we welcome them in Donald J. Trump, our hero! Amen.
I agree with you that there is no crisis at the border if you are referring to the border between Mass and New Hampshire. If you are referring to the US border with Mexico you need to visit there and see for yourself.
Chuckie and Botox did what would be expected and provided no answers except we will not give trump a win because we don't care what is good for the American people just our jobs and party.
skud, you fail to mention this:
"The number of people caught illegally crossing the United States' northern border is up 142 percent. Border Patrol agents apprehended 445 people entering the U.S. from Canada during the first six months of 2018; that compares with 184 during the same period last year.
The northern border is very easy to cross, which was actually the original intention. But it also makes it very difficult to secure.
An unguarded metal fence is the only thing keeping smugglers from entering a remote corner of New York State – a small part of the physical security infrastructure along America's northern border.
Norm Lague, the Border Patrol agent in charge here, says it's impossible to cover 100 percent of the entire 5,525-mile-long U.S.-Canadian border, the longest and busiest land boundary in the world." --CBS News
Also, skud, you fail to explain why DJT didn't ask for the lfund while he had both houses of Congress for two years. The House holds the purse strings. You and everyone knows that.
Why do you lsuppose he waited two years to solve this "national emergency?" Also why does he ignore the illegal crossings from Canada.
Also, more people are murdered, massacred every g-d year from crazy white males on a shooting spree than are murdered by illegals, but neither Trump nor what's left of the Republican Party ever want to talk about that. That's because DJT is a b.s.er and this shutdown over the border is pure b.s.
The fact that he could have done this with a compliant Congress for TWO YEARS is proof of his b.s. He's digging himself into a very, very deep manurehole.
PS. I notice you, like a typical sexist male, attack3e Speaker Pelosi's looks. However, it is an evident fact that Melania Trump has more botox injected into her frozen face and squinty eyes than Speaker Pelosi or any older woman could ever dream of.
Typical insecure males always attack women they don't like on their looks. I thought better of you.
Also. The American people DO NOT WANT A WALL AND DO NOT SUPPORT THE SHUTDOWN.
What planet do you Trumpies live on? You're wrong on EVERYTHING! The country is NOT WITH TRUMP. THE COUNTRY HATES HIM!! He has a 38% job approval rating.
Wake up from your Trump induced stupor!
Madam Pelosi, like all politicians, is totally biased. She and Charles don't really care about the wall or securing our borders all they care about is not giving the donald anything. Immigration reform and enforcing our laws would be the better idea than building a stupid wall. The problem is several cities and states say to hell with our laws and the democrats support that stance. There was once a president who had an opportunity to pass immigration reform but he chose to kick it down the road because illegals were not supposed to vote and they couldn't afford thousand dollar a plate fund raisers.
The shutdown is a game played with peoples lives and both parties are to blame.
skud, I answered you in today's 1/10/19 blog post comments section.
