Haven't read through the language of the budget yet, but this wiretapping claim seems like a nice distraction if that is true Jarn.

just want to point out, no matter which side of the wall you on, you gotta have a batting average IQ if you understood "Mexico will pay for the wall," as Pablo El Mexicano will write a check to Uncle Sam's incompetent staff and overpaid contractors. i mean I know trump is dumb, but we don't need to dement ourselves alongside him while discussing policy. I gonna go back to manipulating numbers that no one will ever care about and beseeching the liberating hand of a giant asteroid in her chariot calamity now.

so when he said "mexico will pay for the wall", you should have understood that AKSHUALLY, 'murica will pay it BUT mexicans will pay it because of all the market shares they gonna lose in the building business.

Just like the "30 days plan to destroy isis" was 30 mercurian days, not earth days.. You silly goose. Oh and don't forget, it's not a muslim ban either.

Remember boys. Truth doesn't exist. Facts are irrelevant. Everything is an opinion. 2 + 2 = 5.

so you sayin you really did believe he meant Mexico was going to write checks to American contractors? ok, fair enough.

im sorry that wasn't nice, i just frustrated and that argument is about as convincing as republican efforts to sell Sara Palin as an intelligent person.

it just not a good argument :c it fine to not like Trump or things he do, but bad arguments just dilute your message :c

no i didn't, but i'm sure a lot of his voters did.

it seems to me that trump supporters are like "nah he didn't lie, he's just playing politics, that's what politicians do", and that's just shocking to me i guess [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think its pretty dumb to argue Obama was not smart. Being smart doesn't make you a great president necessarily. But it should be pretty uncontroversial that Obama was quite a bit more intelligent than your average bear.

Reagan might have been the dumbest president in my life time. I think W. Bush wasn't exactly a genius -- but its overstated how stupid he was. A lot of it was just his dyslexia.

oh and Mexico is not going to pay for the wall in any real sense. Any trade concessions we get from then we will pay for in some other area.
