The shut down thread

[lawgator1]

Trump is scheduled to address /lie to the country tomorrow night about the National Emergency that is a National Emergency because the reporter asked him whether it was. He sent his minions out this past weekend to lie for him. He's called it a wall, a fence, iron, concrete, it's already started, no it's not, concrete is stronger we need concrete, no we don't we need steel but that's more expensive oh, we are catching terrorists there, turns out we aren't. I really don't understand his thinking that this is going to make his political situation any better. Quite the opposite, he cannot help but lie some more.

I know, and it sure seems like Trump gave in and signed a few spending bills on the basis that Dims would work on compromises that included funding for a wall. Sometimes you just gotta quit playing the other side's game. The old "fool me once, fool me twice" kinda thing.

No one needs to fool Trump. He's pretty good at making a fool of himself

I do agree with you to an extent. Anyone who takes the Dims (especially ones like Pelosi and Schumer) at their word is a fool, completely brain dead, or has been on an isolated planet for the last hundred years or so.

It was probably FDR. Wasn't it Hillary who talked to Eleanor Roosevelt when the Clintons occupied the White House?

Saw this and thought it made pretty good sense.

"Some advice -- demand to see the text in advance and if it is not truthful either don't air it or fact check it live on lower third," tweeted Joe Lockhart, the former White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton. "And cut away if he goes off text and starts lying."

I assume you're talking about the Sarah Huckabee Sanders interview with Chris Wallace of Fox News on Sunday. She pretty much just went and made a fool out of herself....

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "Nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists come into our country illegally, and we know that our most vulnerable point of entry is at our southern border..."

Chris Wallace: (immediately interrupting her, he responded) "I know the statistic, I didn't know if you were gonna use it but I studied up on this. Do you know where those 4,000 people come from, where they're captured? Airports. The State Department says there hasn't been any terrorist that they've found coming across the southern border."

So, it would seem that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was just flat out lying when she said that the southern border was our most vulnerable point of entry for terrorists. The most vulnerable points of entry are airports. There is no evidence (at least as far as our State Department is concerned), that the southern border is under threat of invasion from terrorists. That's a false narrative and the Trump administration knows it.

Turns out 4,000 is more like 20 (see Amateur Hour thread).

You have to remember when Trump, Huckabee et al. spew these exaggerations and lies they are aimed at their base and the other most ignorant Americans.

True... that's why she was on Fox News. The look on her face when Chris Wallace called BS was priceless. She didn't see that 98 mph fastball coming down the pike. Her expression looks like, "I thought you were on our side!"

Mike Wallace's son is Jewish, and is a Democrat like his father.

It's brilliant commentary like this that really sets VN apart.

Any part of it incorrect, or just not to your liking? About 45 years ago, I worked for Myron (Mike) Wallace's uncle in New Haven, CT. He was about 90 years old at the time. The family named was changed from Wallik to Wallace.

Incorrect or not what does Mike Wallace's son being Jewish and a Democrat have to do with anything?

Sine 1992, in the last 7 Presidential elections, the Democratic candidate has taken from a low of 69% to a high of 80% of the Jewish vote in Presidential elections. Trump got 24% of the Jewish vote, even though he is the most pro-Israeli President that we have had in quite awhile. The media votes overwhelmingly Democratic. Wallace can't help it. He got a double dose of Democrat genes. Odds are he wouldn't be a Trump supporter.

None of that changes the fact that the 4000 known terrorists or suspects were stopped at airports and not at the border as claimed by the Administration. It was just complete BS and Wallace called her out.

Don't care. What difference, at this point, does it make?

The only reason I responded was that Bowel Breath made a comment that S H Sanders thought that Wallace would be on the side of the administration. He is not.

I think the 4000 terrorists claim was so obviously erroneous and easily refutable that even a Fox host couldn't let it pass.
