President Donald Trump urged congressional Democrats to fund his long-promised border wall Tuesday night in a somber televised address that was heavy with dark immigration rhetoric but offered little in the way of concessions or new ideas to break the standoff that has left large swaths of the government shuttered for 18 days.
Speaking to the nation from the Oval Office for the first time, Trump argued the wall was needed to resolve a security and humanitarian “crisis,” blaming illegal immigration for what he said was a scourge of drugs and violence in the U.S. and asking: “How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?”

It was the headline in my local birdcage-liner too. The AP once was the global standard for journalistic integrity, now it’s just the biggest turd floating in the bowl.
As long as we’re talking about Presidents who “stoke,” how many victims of the “knock-out game” have there been recently?
I didn’t hear any pleading. He stated the issue as is. Deal with it or He will.
Exactly. Why should anyone fear MS13 murders? We should embrace them, right Nancy?
Everyone whose confused friends are constantly whining “who am I supposed to believe” when it comes to news sources should recommend watching any and all network news programs, THEN watch OAN to see the side the networks WON’T tell you.
The two-faced nature of “unbiased” journalism is so over-the-top, your friends should be OUTRAGED by how they’re being “played.”
Yeah, it may cost them a little money (less than the daily paper), but as everyone on the Internet knows “if they give it to you for free, YOU (or your opinion) is what they are selling.”
That’s just it. They could have run a headline like “Trump Makes Case for Wall” and then gone on to bash it but they can’t even write an honest headline anymore.
All Propaganda.
Laura Ingraham had a great prediction tonite.
We’re going to be flooded with stories about the tragedies of unpaid government workers, but how much coverage have they ever given to AMERICANS whose lives were destroyed by illegal aliens?
Stoke fear? Yeah right. Like he just made all of this up ... for what purpose? To get impeached after he gets the military to start building it?
Believe me ... Trump only wants a wall because we need a wall. There are a lot of other fish for him to fry and plenty of other things for him to do.
Why the hell should the American taxpayers have to pay for non-essential government crap? I’ve been laid off, you get off your arse and find a new job. Suck It Up Buttercup! Don’t like it? Don’t work for the Idiots in the government that don’t produce JackShitz. You don’t get guarantees in anything. Quit pissing and moaning. Unemployment is the lowest in decades. If your worth a crap find a job.
Stokes fear? You mean like claiming that the Republicans want to end Social Security...or push grandma off a cliff? That kind of stoking fear?
Yeah, I guess FDR was just stoking “fear” on December 7, 1941. Dems are insane.
Build a wall around Hawaii.
To keep them in, some want to secede.
More like Big Lots they belong at...or deserve!
