There was a perfectly looney thread going on yesterday and along comes you and inserts facts and rational thought into the discussion. Who do you think you are? Before we know you are going to tell us that you read the bill and that you know something about an Appropriation Bill works.
You are spoiling all of the fun watching the Trump haters spin themselves into a knot. OK, it wasn’t that much fun anyway, mostly a waste of time.
Something else I discovered, regarding whether local mayors have the power to restrict the construction of a border wall in their immediate jurisdictions:
The actual language uses the term “shall consult with.” IOW, The federal authority must notify a mayor of their intentions, and give hearing to their objections or suggestions. “Consult” means just that and nothing more. The federal authorities have the FINAL say. To wit: a mayor cannot prevent the construction of a NATIONAL border wall in their jurisdiction.
Where in hell posters here on FR got the idea that mayors can override federal jurisdiction is beyond me. Such language would be ludicrous on its face and contradict the Constitution. But we’ve got utter morons infecting this site, who are nothing less than attention whores.
FR is now so overrun with uninformed twits, who regularly jump to conclusions without facts, that we should ask Jim Robinson to rename the site: “Failed Reasoning,” “Frequently Ridiculous,” “Facts Removed,” or “Factually Resistant.”
I’m at the point where I don’t have a desire to come here any longer,because there are so many individuals who are either uninformed, misinformed, or outright trolls posting absolute bullsh*t, but who think themselves intellectual giants.
What used to be a reliable source for obtaining factual information, and well-reasoned political discourse, has turned into a joke, having too many posters whose rants are not much better than what I would find on DU. In fact, their are some here who, IMO, need psychological intervention.
