List me the benefits Russia and the Russian Gov't have received due to the Trump administration.
Russia doesn’t have a government. They have a thug dictator and his fellow oligarchs who pose as one. Anyway Can I just say shady business/real estate deals worth billions and be done? My daughter forgot her lunch and im in a rush. [emoji23]

I had no idea that Putin being a dictator and opposition mysteriously being gunned down in the streets or the absolute greed that thwarts the Russian people was considered conspiracy. I thought it was pretty much accepted as fact? As were Trumps business dealings with these oligarchs? What part do you doubt?

I didn't deflect. I asked for a specific example of a failed wall and you gave a answer that was basically filled with dumb comments. If you can cite 2 failed walls I will gladly debunk your obviously fallacious arguments.

Not painting Trump as a victim, but the hate for him that is out there causes his opponents to go to the nth degree of opposition. It's what it is. I feel the same toward HC and am glad Trump is in the WH and not her.
In 2020 we will see where the electorate is. If he makes it that long.
You can't understand the hate for trump ,yet you say you feel the same about Hillary? Like her or not ....Hillary would not be making this country look like a bunch of asshole's. Politicians lie I get it but to not see the blatant ignorance of trump and his total disdain for the American people\citizens is borderline moronic.

"Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!"

I will give you a C for effort.
-In your first article it listed 3 main wall attempts with no increased immigration as a result
-In your second article it listed 5 main wall attempts with no increased immigration, and several successful walls
-In your third article it pointed out that 6 European countries currently are using walls as part of their border security with no ill effect
below I have broken out all 3 articles :
Article 1:
1)Israel/Palestine. The article offers no proof one way or the other, but argues that it creates a political backlash, and increases the anger and propensity toward violence in a space smaller than NJ. Clearly that outcome would not translate across the US Mexico border, as we aren't foreshadowing a military clash with Mexico.
2) The Berlin wall. Again, the wall itself worked, the state behind the wall failed. We aren't trying to keep our citizens from escaping, although alot of Dems were supposed to have left by now.
3) US Mexico: They state we have built 651 miles of wall, and that undocumented migration into the U.S. is at its lowest level since the 1970s; but state that you can't prove it's the wall so there.
Article 2:
The great wall (which worked for 14 centuries - I'm ok if the border wall only lasts 10)
the berlin wall - no one would argue it did not stop illegal crossings (razor wire, mine fields and snipers help to)
The belfast peace wall - the article sums it up this way "In 2013, Northern Irish lawmakers proposed tearing down the peace walls by 2023, but many residents believe violence would reignite if the walls were removed."
West bank wall - the article makes no claim either way about its effectiveness but adds "Israel has another fence along its western border with Egypt, which was built to stem the "unfettered flow of illegal infiltrators, the smuggling of drugs and weapons" into Israel, ...The wall was a success: 43 African migrants entered Israel in 2013, compared to 17,000 in 2011."
Hungary - The article doesn't state the before and after, but Wikipedia lists it as follows- During the month of September 2015 there was a total number of 138,396 migrant entries, and by the first two weeks of November the average daily number of intercepted migrants decreased to only 15, which is a daily reduction of more than 4,500
Article 3 simply outlines the current European countries using walls as part of their border security.
So you get a C because you finally responded, but you truly proved my point that in all the world, where walls have been used to limit migration, successful outcomes were far more common and the worst outcomes were ambiguous results. In no case in those three articles did a wall clearly worsen the immigration pattern.
And to answer to your question, no one is suggesting building walls around the east coast , west coast, Hawaii, Alaska, FL, or the northern states. Those places are better served by increased Coast Guard and Border Patrol presence as well as good port of entry security.

I understand the hate for Trump. Never said I didn't. But HC would have put a terrible SC justice on the bench. We would not be seeing a tax cut. The economy would have stayed in neutral, and identity politics would have been even worse. HC is as corrupt and evil a person as we have conceivably seen, but, like the devil, she knows how to look angelic and fool sheep. Trump is just a moron.

Have you seen a pay increase personally?
Edit: I dont dabble in the stock market so i dont care. Those bastards dont share so dont give me it creates this and that. It creates more money for them is all. My 401 k has not doubled. Lol. Its crazy because only people who voted for Trump seem to have new found money somewhere?
As for the SCJ of course you are going to think a liberal is terrible if ur not liberal. Identity politics- well - when u have a Billionaire telling the middle class he is going to drain the swamp, but he actually is looking out for his and his cohorts taxes and real estate loopholes, etc etc it may appear as though there are no identity politics going on BUT in reality he couldn’t be identifying more with the billionaires. Hell he even gave them all jobs. Please.
