| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | It seems silly to fight the President over $5 billion out of a budget that total $4100 billion over this wall. He campaigned on a wall and he will get a wall. Besides they won't get 215 miles of wall for that money. The Secure Fence Act of 2006 directed DHS to construct 850 miles of additional border fencing. This requirement was subsequently modified by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (P.L. 110-161), which was enacted into law on December 26, 2007. The Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to construct fencing along not fewer than 700 miles of the southwest border. |

He never campaigned on the American People paying for the wall He explicitly said Mexico would pay for the wall and he said that over and over and over Its a waste of money He should be balancing the budget Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Hopefully for his sake that was not before 1957, the year of Sputnik; the same year the Vanguard program began; quoting wikipedia, "Vanguard launched 3 satellites out of 11 launch attempts". Vanguard was the US's big effort to get something into orbit. Some were spectacular failures, I've set the video at one spectacular such. https://youtu.be/zVeFkakURXM?t=21 PS: there's something about that, I can watch that over and over again PPS: I think maybe Von Braun was in the doghouse and didn't participate in Vanguard? would have to look that up I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Obama said over and over and over, you can keep your present plan and keep your doctor. When they found out he was lying, they impeached him in 2012. And cancelled Obamacare. Oh, wait.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That quote is too well-spoken to have come from Donald. He doesn’t talk like that. But yes, there are plenty of hypocritical tweets and Fox News phone-ins where he placed the blame for the shut down solely on the black guy. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
