Like the Democrats weren't pushing for a physical barrier only years ago. Both parties are only there to tear the other down Are people trying to pretend this didn't happen? Though 2006 is more than a few years ago.

Like how “Electing an Obama” is, in the future, going to describe someone who is too retarded to function properly? Nah electing an Obama is going to be hiring someone unqualified who obviously has foriegn interests but is a diversity hire. |
Republicans suck but this one goes both ways. People tend not to care as much about executive orders when they agree with what it’s doing. People also tend to be less concerned with spending when it’s their guy in office.

Hey look, a comment that will get some flak, so here goes:
There are many many Hispanic people in the USA, who get a "pass", they feel for being Hispanic in towns or cities that are predominantly white. Maybe its because they are rich, or maybe its because their skin is of a lighter complexion than many, but in the en... |
Obama declared 13 national emergencies. Was he a fascist? Stop bringing facts and logic in here! |

Liberals need to shut the fuck up about this national emergency and hope it makes it all the way through the supreme court, that way the next Democrat president can declare a national emergency over climate change and gun violence. So when Republicans call a national emergency it's to protect citizens from invading co... |
Just give them the fucking wall. They won the election and now they want a monument to their stupidity. Build it huge and engrave every Trump voters name on it with a huge Pepe the Fucking Frog. We have a huge deficit as we give billionaires tax breaks. Let’s buy a big stupid wall. Huh most dems don’t have a problem ... |
You are closed-minded. Humans make mistakes, it's honestly sad that the political discourse in the West has led to a mentality of absolutism with regards to forgiveness and failure.

The powder keg of civil war has been lit. Now just to see exactly how long the fuse is. There will be a civil war because the country is going to attempt to secure the border for a measly cost compared to all of the other government spending? Are you even from America? |

Do people here think that Democrat leaders aren't pro-war? Trump is the first antiwar Republican & Hillary never saw a war she didn't like.
I'm all for shitting on Republicans for their hypocrisy but reddit is pretty bad for that too.

Every time I see (or make) a comment like yours It’s downvoted. Makes me sad.
Edit: what I mean is that there are so many trump voters. A disgusting amount of trump voters. They will continue to vote for trump or people like him unless they are convinced otherwise.

Not necessarily lol get downvoted for having a slightly different opinion you fucking dumb idiot. In fact, I disagree with this so much that i downvoted it with my penis. That's right, the other two users and I met up, whipped our penises out and we downvoted this comment with our penises right before we jerked off in... |
I think it’s hilarious that Democrats want immigrants coming into the US from south of the border. Most latinos are everything Republican/Capitalists dream of. They aren’t educated, many are devout christians, they agree with working for crappy wages, and they aren’t particularly keen on women’s rights. Pretty much ... |
Unbelievable - we finally got him!!! His current stance is contradicted by his earlier public statements! He and his supporters will be so embarrassed when this is pointed out to them. I can’t wait for the heartfelt apologies... Ladies and gentlemen; we got him. |
If Scotland left the UK wouldn't they be force the leave the EU anyway? Don't the already receive extra funds due to the barnet formula?

How? Not all white Catholics are Irish. Not even all Irish are Catholic. This is more like saying Italians make the best pizza. But Jeff Sessions isn't even AG anymore, not sure why people are trying to make this a big story. You can't reason with these people. They just scream racist at everything. |
Well, no. He can't change the rules of the game. All he can do is try and implement his policies within the framework of the US political system.
Step outside your box and try and see it from the other side, man. Fat chance. He's just here to bash Trump and his supporters, not for genuine discussion. |
Daily reminder the Democrats and the Republicans both are the same.... they are both bought by corporations! 😡 any policy they try to bring about is a smokescreen to keep you distracted while they rob us all blind.
Btw Bernie 2020 🤚👍 >Btw Bernie 2020 🤚👍

You’re arguing something that no one ever said, aka “straw man fallacy”, and as such I’ll assume you are not debating in good faith.
No time for bad faith!! Don’t worry with so many people in California and the legal weed some of them are bound to be brain dead. |
It’s an unmoderated bastion of free speech here. If you don’t like it, go back to one of your forums where they instaban people for even asking genuine questions that don’t fit the pro-Trump narrative. For the last time, just because I’m not a left socialist hive mind doesn’t mean I love Trump. I don’t. |
This is just evil giant corporations click bait. Amazon is reinvesting their profits into themselves which is how they are avoiding taxes, and is something many large corporations do. If you want to change this, go after the people that create this legislation so it isn't legal anymore.

The difference is obama used executive power to go around our laws.

Pretty sure it's just the media and this sub that is constantly freaking out, but carry on... Walls are such a freaking useless concept. They really should have stopped building them at 100 B.C.! /s |
I like to be efficient: the beauty of the moniker "Slate", and a quick scan of the article, immediately confirms the complete and utter ridiculous bias 80% of the media now spews.
As an added bonus...it gets folks like you to parrot the Left's utter nonsense about dictatorial regimes and Trump. So, a good start to t... |

Truthfully, only Anti-Trumpers dont take the time to figure it out.
A: Its called a Tax Refund, meaning you are getting back money the government took from you.

The best estimates we have available show that 80% of all Americans will pay less in taxes for 2018 than the previous year. 15% are anticipated to have no change. So, based on the Washington Post's projections this cartoon would be correct for 5% of all Americans. Liberals are so disingenuous, it’s disgusting. |
then fuck the police I know you're joking but there are people that think like that.
God bless our brave police men and women. |
Lol Do the bots that runs this sub Reddit see the word “collusion” and just automatically react and vote? Clearly the “totally organic and real people” in this comment section didn’t even read the article.

True, let's put Hillary in prison. As well as jussie smollett. Yep.

AOC’s reaction to Trumps announcement
https://youtu.be/4s4SKS74Txo Why do we care about what AOC says? She just fucked her district by pushing Amazon out of Queens. Maybe she has been given too much if the national spotlight too quickly. |
> It’s a demonstration of Trumps complete incompetency as a leader. He failed bigly.
I fail to see how Trump's failure to gain total cooperation from people who proudly rally around slogans like "HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US" and "RESIST" is "a demonstration of [his] complete incompetency."

What do you mean? I’m not a Trump supporter by any stretch. You can look at my history. I oppose him and consider him a tyrant. I am an enemy of tyranny. If Trump were a tyrant would he start arresting journalists, limit freedom of speech, right to assemble, target his detractors economically, and use his executive po... |

To anyone who thinks a national emergency is unprecedented: Trump has *already declared* three national emergencies that are all still currently ongoing, one of which is more than a year old.
Obama has ten *currently ongoing* national emergencies, one of which has been ongoing since 2010.

Great week for Republicans. Senate reports NO collusion, mueller on his way out, and now a big ass WALL. Oh yeah and the bartender just forced out 25000 jobs and 27 billion dollars in tax revenue from NY. Winning? I think so. It’s a good day my man! |
Like with illegal boarder crossings, gun violence has been on a downward trend over the past couple decades.
But that apparently won't stop either side from distorting, manipulating, or blatantly lying about these subjects to get votes.

[There were 400,000 apprehended while illegally crossing the US southwestern border in 2018.](https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/illegal-immigration-statistics/) Perhaps this should have been declared a national emergency a long time ago.
Trump should not be framing this declaration solely on the basis of stopping dru... |

The only people that hate Trump are those controlled by big money.

Trump is actually fighting for America and Americans.

I oppose a $15 minimum wage because employers will just respond by firing people and cutting hours. Set the minimum wage at 50% of the median wage county by county like Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) suggests. Always happens and yet the socialist idiots try to pretend it does not. |
Just like the atomic bomb was a fast solution to WW2, the wall is a fast solution to the immigration problems. Both could possibly end without it, but it would cost time, lives and resources. Thank you. |
Woohoo! About time. Build the wall, MR. PRESIDENT! Yeah brother |
Is there not already a physical wall and checkpoints running the border? Isn't this just an upgrade, in which case, why are people so fired up about this? Do the people in the US want to get rid of the border or something.. that would be crazy? I don't get, can someone explain... At this time, no we don't. People can ... |

Don’t see what the big fuss is about the wall. $5B. We spend over $500B on the military every year. It’s not going to hurt our country. We know by now how Trump rolls - is this really a big surprise? Nope. Not a huge sum in the greater scope. And we shell out lots of money to defend other countries and help build wa... |

But did Trump collude with Russia? Just a bunch of tax and bank fraud that every single corporate american ceo owner already does? Just because he was Trump’s chairman? Most people don’t read that far down bro. Has nothing to do with Trump or Russian collusion. |
He could end up serving about 1/3 of his sentence with good behavior and time served, so its conceivable he'd be out in 8 - 10 years.
