New York Times editorial board tells Congress to ‘give Trump his border money’
Washington Examiner ^ | 5-6-2019 | Caitlin Yilek

The New York Times editorial board urged Congress to give President Trump the administration’s requested $4.5 billion in emergency funding for the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“President Trump is right: There is a crisis at the southern border,” the editorial board wrote Sunday in a piece titled, “Congress, Give Trump his Border Money.”

“There is no pressing national security threat — no invasion of murderers, drug cartels or terrorists. No matter how often Mr. Trump delivers such warnings, they bear little resemblance to the truth,” it said.

It’s called CYA. They’ll use this as evidence that they’re not bias, while wringing their hands praying for failure of the outcome they promoted. Like a cornered animal in desperation. These hissing Chesire cats credibility is in the toilet as most all so called journalism. No other profession craves credibility as much for it’s very survival. Now with competition up a 1000%, the number only rivaled by their circulations downfall, they have a change of heart ... uh-huh, sure.

Fanatical delusion loses it’s luster looking at an empty wallet. The time of bowing to any misfit that can muster a squeal is over. And misfits don’t purchase newsprint. There are millions of more smiles sitting at kitchen tables all over America. And maybe as much “maybe we can” planted daily. Thriving for generations. We’re witnessing a pleasant side of history, it’s name is Trump. It will grace the pages as much as any in those books of what was. In things yet not written of what could be.

And so it begins...

Trump, WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE?

“Crush enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their wamen.”

Hey Times, how about a headline saying, Congress, give America some security.

As I show in my new book “Reagan: The American President,” both the WaPo and NYSlimes criticized Reagan in 1984-5 for his immigration plans for not having ENOUGH enforcement and control (!!!!)

NOT TRUE.

There is a threat. Trump wants to stop it.

Fund the wall!

“no invasion of murderers, drug cartels or terrorists”

BS. That’s exactly what’s happening.

Who do you think has to leave Mexico and countries further south? And who needs to exploit the open border with Mexico? People from the Middle East for example since they have no easier way to get in.

It is a form of CYA; but there’s more. It calls DJT’s description of the crisis a full-on lie. And then it says that damn near all of the money would go for benevolence to the poor bedraggled wretched refuse as they come over. So lieberals really need to vote for the money for this reason.

They're trying to buy Trump off by supporting the border wall in exchange for not exposing the entire collusion scam, which includes the news that went along with it.

The New York Times editorial board must be living on Mars, or in some cushy gated community.

Someone realizes that the border wall is an election killer.

The dems are toast if they don’t support it. If they do support it, they may hang on to some of their constituency.

It’s about their only hope for 2020.

"It’s called CYA"

No, no, no. The NYT knows the Democrat polling shows Trump can grind HARD against the border issue and simply coast in #2020, even though most of us FReepers want to close the damn border right now, bring in Southern Command, and beat the border back to San Luis Potosi.

We have the capability & capacity to occupy Mexico, declare martial law, and drive the cartel scumbags and the rest of the mojados SOUTH towards the Canal.

Can you imagine how easy it would be to eliminate this 3rd-waver drug-trafficking problem once and for all with a blitzkreig into that bottleneck? MS-13, Los Negros, Vatos Locos, Gulf, Juárez -- all jammed into about 20 square miles.

Even the Slimes knows the smart move is to give President Trump his border money, but the Democrats all suffer from TDS and so are incapable of doing anything other than fight President Trump on everything.

Many Americans wound admit to a pollster their true feelings about illegals invading this country HOWEVER I guarantee you this IS the number one issue with Americans today!!! It has reached a point where WE don’t recognize OUR COUNTRY anymore!! WE ALL are sick to death 9f the Mexican flag being waved in OUR streets, sick to death of the schools being overrun with illegals AND their property taxes paying for it, sick to death of wages being driven down by these illegals working cheaper than American citizens, sick to death of immigrants being given SPECIAL DEALS for college while American citizens PAY FULL BOAT!!! This issue is at a BOILING POINT and the Dems are on the wrong side of it.These IDIOTS believe the polls and have no idea the American people have been SHAMED into not being honest about their true feelings, just as they were SHAMED into not admitting to being a Trump supporter, hence polls showed HELLARY winning in a landslide!!! Illegal immigration put Trump in the White House AND will re-elect him again!!!
