    You certainly implied it in #57. Are you going to split hairs again?

    I strongly suspect that you replied to the OP with a knee-jerk response before thinking it through, and now you're attacking in a snarky tone because you're caught not knowing something major. No wonder you like Trump so much. He does the same crap.

    The person I was responding to said "Trump said that he wants his own "Iron Dome" for the United States, which doesn't have missiles being constantly shot at it."

    Is that your opinion on why the wall wasn't built or that Mexico didn't pay for it.

    Trump will build us an iron dome... let's let the man speak for himself.. I love how the OP edits the man's speech and does not let him have his say.. if Trump is trying to build something to defend us and that is a bad thing... then something is wrong with the way people are thinking....

    You don't give a rat's ass that Trump can say whatever he wants, lie, truth......doesn't matter. He had 4 years and 2 of them he had both houses and didn't get it done. Why? Republicans don't want it done. They don't give a rat's ass about the border. To them, it's something they can falsely use as a political football. That's all.

    Mmmm, not really.
    But thinking about it......he wasn't going to go because he was voted out, so yeah, maybe he was kicked to the curb.

    Trump was trying to grab guns?
    To my knowledge, no President has tried to grab guns.

    They will get another shot at it and get it right this time. The way public sentiment is running lately Democrats might get forced to do something positive.

    Here is a thought... the wall never was built.... and we are paying for it BIG TIME now...

    I truly find it amazing not many people get it.... the bad people are already IN our country already. Attack from outside is not our problem..

    The Trump method was to negotiate and make deals, and it worked.

    The Biden method is to threaten everyone and make enemies of as many countries as
    possible, all at once, and it won't work no matter how good the anti-missile system is.

    Bump stock, he also wanted to ban silencers and he also spoke of take guns first and due process second. So yeah I don’t regret my decision

    Yeah! Trumps STILL does not understand what Pine Gap is and does. We had to remind him of it when he was in office and I think, going to sell it to the Chinese or something.

    If you want to split hairs, a plane intended as a weapon is 100% a missile.

    Fyi, a plane used as a weapon is 100% a missile. First real "guided" missile was kamikaze planes.
