You missed the press briefing, too?? Why comment when you can’t master the basics of tuning in the facts and tuning out the Croozers and the left wing media version of events?

no campaign promise Trump made has greater ramifications for the future prosperity of the US and the world than pulling out of the Paris Agreement. FR needs to post all these articles and start encouraging the President to just do it. that will silence the Trump doubters:

2 May: The Hill: Timothy Cama: White House leaning toward exiting Paris climate pact
Trump could announce as soon as next week his plans to pull out. The Huffington Post and New York Times reported on the developments earlier Tuesday...
The administration is also worried that staying in the accord would give environmentalists a legal argument to prevent Trump from repealing climate regulations like the Clean Power Plan...

That is not what Mulvaney said, and he is in charge. He said they have not decided all the miles that will be covered. He said the expense is different in lengths of the southern border.

He also said that we could not even have contractors ready to go and clearance for their passage to the fence line, by this September. This means TRUMP didn’t need his full demand for the wall expense in this budget, but he got 26 Billion for security, so there’s that to start with.

So, basic math says that on this Obama budget right now, they will choose the cheap spots first, is my guess.

You are so correct about CTH.

This is a frigging day care around here, now. All the hand holding and breast feeding required for these gutless wonders running through FR, now. It’s infiltrated with titty babies and no end in sight. You don’t have to put up with that at CTH, thankfully.

They must have a trap door over there that actually works with a troll sensor that sniffs them out before they can take a breath.

Bwahahahahahah

Trump snookered the dems. “We are just going to do a little maintenance on what is existing.” “OK” Trump says going alone and then drops the right and left Bauer the ace the king and the queen of the Trump suit.

Cheap to throw up a wall where chain link fence was. No need to build roads etc.

Yes there is money in the budget to repair and replace which became law under Bush in 2006. The wall that was shown at the press briefing today was already underway (in 2016) to replace a chain link fence and will be finished in 2017.

There is NO money to build any new fencing in areas where there is no existing fencing.

Replacement Fence being built.

I am fine now. But I wasn’t for several days.

Have some faith!

Consider:

Q: did Providence play a role in elevating Donald Trump to this station (the Presidency)?

A: Of course! It's crucial to remember that this miraculous Presidency was God's will. That realization, in turn, demands faith. Not blind faith, but faith which flows from the knowledge of God's blessings.

If you're not willing to give President Trump the benefit of the doubt, then just try doing it for God.

Donald Trump, over the last two years, has proven to have superb political instincts, and he has overcome almost insurmountable odds to win the Presidency, with virtually the entire Globalist Establishment arrayed against him.

There were many times when things were looking down, and Donald Trump fought tirelessly, tenaciously, and passionately for what he and his supporters believed in.

This imperfect but decent man—serving as an instrument of Providence—has earned both our trust and our loyalty—even when we sometimes disagree with his judgement—and we should be more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in most—if not all—cases.

So, all I'm asking anybody to do here is:

President Trump doesn't just deserve these things from his supporterts—he needs them profoundly.

For protecting the interests of the People, there's nobody in the federal government that I trust more than Donald J. Trump.

Therefore, I'm going to respect his judgement, give him the benefit of the doubt when I don't have complete information, and continue to have faith in the God's Divine guidance...

Perhaps the delay of an announcement to pull out of the Paris Punk Science agreement is to use the time somehow to take the shirt off the backs of the Democrats, to go along with their shoes he already stole. :D

.....”How can so many on FR get it so wrong?”......

Because they believe what the demorats bait them with..and what the MSM feeds them....rather than following through and checking things out for themselves.

They're like light switches that can get turned on and off rather than dig deeper for the facts. Plus I think some are just chronic complainers....and just can't turn it off.

How can the wall be worked on in the next 4 months, if there is no money in the budget for funding the work?

Becuase they were given a down payment to start it in this bill that just passed....if people really wanted to know they wouldn’t have a knee jerk reaction every time the MSM spins this stuff.

Just kidding...

So, are you saying that you believe Jim Robinson is allowing too many hysterical, hand-wringing, second-guessing #NeverTrump trolls to have the run of the place?

I'm just trying to be clear on your complaint. You'd like to see "stricter enforcement"?

In any event, I'd tend to agree with that in some cases, I guess...

Trump signed a bill ‘into law’ that ends the Obama-era regulation that blocks states from banning Planned Parenthood funding..... (states can ban Planned Parenthood funding)...but everyone forgot about that....

(Note: the health care bill that comes up soon ‘defunds Planned Parenthood’ altogether)

.....”It’s comical that so many of the President’s “fair weather friends” are so willing to indulge their #NeverTrump impulses”......

They have the same ‘sensitivity buttons’ that the snowflakes have.....their emotions kick at the same time their brain shuts off.....and it’s down hill from there. So they air their fears or complaints here looking for reassurance.....and if it’s gotten away with them too much...nothing we say it’s going to calm them.

This isn’t exactly the fertile soil of Conservative investigation and research that it once was. There’re great folks still around, but other social platforms have cut in pretty heavily, some sharp minds were, uh, “lost” along the way, and others saw that and left quietly of their own accord. The house rules have ramifications, ultimately; many good, some less so, but people do what they will.

There are some past denizens of these forums whose wit and insight I sorely miss despite disagreement at some fairly crucial points, and I’m sure I’m far from alone in that sort of observation, but not all were capable of handling disagreements as sane adults.

On this side of it, I’m perfectly fine not having been any part of the evaluative mechanism that made the decision to keep people around or send them packing. I’d have likely ousted some who’re still around, and kept some who were ousted, and the ultimate result would likely be just abut the same as it is right now.

Ten years ago at FR you’d still have had plenty of folks who hadn’t read the linked article or watched the linked video yet felt they had grounds to give you a piece of their mind.

Oh, yes, I’m famous for begging the moderators for consequences for the constant trollers disguised as Freepers for Trump, always nagging at Trump as if he were in charge of the other guys failed work. Paul Ryan and the HOR, for example.

They don’t even keep up with the White House to know what they are talking about, before they already bash Trump.

I live nine miles north of a “wall” just like the one shown today. It works.
