    Trump operated under the same laws as Biden and many times the illegals and terrorists have come across the border under Biden than Trump.

    The border bill should have strictly been border security, but it had other junk. In addition, it allowed up to 5000 per day before strict action was required.

    You called me a fear monger for being concerned. I can only concur that you do not think illegals crossing the border are not a threat.
    I asked a question. Have you heard any intelligence official say we should not be concerned about terrorists crossing the border? Answer the question.

    Did it ever occur to you that I just don't care and I'm not required to have an opinion?

    This:

    I have little doubt that we will get a terrorist attack with all the unknowns coming across the border.

    Is fear mongering.

    I've already expressed to you that the border problem has been a problem going back many presidents.

    Now, someone with a modicum of intelligence will rightfully draw the inference of my acknowledgement that the border is a problem, as it has ALWAYS been a problem.

    Now then, your concern about my concern is irrelevant to the RELEVANT FACT, which is:

    Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to put the bipartisan Senate Border Bill to the house floor.

    And since you are concerned about my concern, why aren't you concerned about the above FACT?

    Hmmmmm? Answer me that?

    Now, once again, I repeat, you, like so many Republicans, just want to bellyache about it to score cheap political points.

    As usual, Democrats can't read past the headline provided by their hive mind.

    https://www.axios.com/2024/03/26/trump-selling-bible-god-bless-the-usa

    Zoom in: None of the money garnered from the Bible will go toward Trump's presidential campaign, the website states.

    Is "shocking" the right word.

    Wouldn't it be "shocking" if Trump said "Oh hell no! Not gonna do that?"

    Seriously, is there any scheme and scam you could not picture Trump involved in right up to his cheeto?

    Prostitute his kids? Again?
    Plant his wife on a golf course for a tax break?
    Steal money from homeless vets?
    Steal money from kids with cancer?

    Seriously, pick a headline when Trump scammed/stole. Make it as darks as possible.
    Then admit, in your heart of hearts, you wouldn't be surprised.

    The scam is the core, the very heart of MAGA.

    I am not requiring you to have an opinion, but, why, then, do you chime in?

    It has occured to me, however, that Trump supporters often don't care, or don't want to talk about all the stunts that Trump pulls on a regular basis that would sink the ambitions of ANY other candidate. Somehow, Trump is immune. He is called Teflon Don for a reason.

    that's rich given your failure to be concerned that Speaker Johnson won't put the Bipartisan Senate Border bill to the floor, so your comment is hollow.

    Which is the exact sentiment expressed by a number of intelligence experts.
    I have answered that.

    The lure of profit can be senseless, vulgar, and utterly tasteless, no doubt.

    George Washington sold cotton, Abraham Lincoln split fence rails, I'd say being a lawyer is more demeaning than being a salesman.

    Practice what you preach unless you are a member of some cult other than the Democratic Party because you seriously missed out on the part about the Holy Trinity to say nothing of the entire 1st chapter of the book of John.

    My point was to the southern border, and that is not a universally accepted point of view, but you'll pick the ones, on the right, who agree with you. naturally.
    Washington Examiner is a conservative mag, it is touting Johnson's excuses for not accepting the bill.

    yeah,. the bill won't be supported by all repubs, we know that, BUT IT WILL PASS THE HOUSE.

    The whole point of taking a bill from the senate is to NEGOTIATE it's ;provisions, go back and forth until both houses have something they both can accept, and he won't even let the process begin.

    Life is a two way street, this idea that dems have to accept it Johnson's way, or it's the highway, this is not how politics have EVER been done, historically. MAGA morons do not understand this, this is why house repubs cannot govern.

    THAT BILL PASSED THE SENATE.

    That fact Wash Examiner forgot to mention, and why isn't it put to the floor?

    because Trump doesn't want the border problem to be solved, he wants it as a campaign issue. Johnson takes orders from Trump.

    And guys like you on the right, y'all don't want it solved, either, you just want something to bellyache about to score cheap political points.

    You can't compare the world of 18th century and antebellum presidents to the world of today, that's nuts. Salaries for presidents in those days were miniscule, anyway,. and they didn't have things like a 'blind trust'. Just about all of the modern presidents who had considerable wealth producing enterprizes put them all into a blind trust while president. Trump didn't. He used a 'revocable trust which allows him to control his businesses.
    Tell that to Lincoln, FDR, Johnson, and many of the accomplished presidents in history who started out as lawyers.

    Your comment is what I call a weasel word comment.

    Do you believe that illegals coming across the border pose a terrorist threat?
    Which I agree with.

    The bill should state that it will try to stop every illegal crossing the border. Those claiming sanctuary can come through established portals.

    I want to stop illegals coming across our borders. It is no more complicated than that.

    This is a great example of being unable to address my post you actually felt compelled to quote. It's either cognitive dissonence, a need to gas light or worse. Regardless, it's unrelated to my post. Try again? Actually, I don't think you can actually address my post, hence, the nonsense I am responding to above.

    You missed the point-- the whole point of the house taking the sen. bill is to negotiate it's provisions so they go back and forth until both houses agree. But the speaker won't even do that and you don't give a damn. Besides that bill as written will pass both houses

    That bill is a non-starter. It should have been simply a bill to secure the border. Handle the other garbage later in seperate bills.

    Trump had the border more under control without the bill. It would have been even more under control, if Biden had gone ahead and built the wall. But, Biden was not going to do anything that Trump might get credit for.
