The best way to disrupt an "echo chamber" is with logic, reason, facts and evidence. If all you want to argue are feelings, you'll get run off.
Case in point, I don't think I've seen a post from 1984 in a few days ever since he couldn't wrap his head around the concept of using hypotheticals to explore legal precedent.

I won't post it again because you are a dumb but the CBO has projected these deficits since 2014. How are revenues? Why did Obama oppose the sequester cuts, the reason it dipped for a bit?
plat's tax return had a special deduction for "feelings"
Rand Paul is remarkably consistent. His position should not surprise anyone. He's actually correct in opposing this move that has potential to expand the powers of the president.
Something needs done. Just not this way

The majority of voters have no clue who votes for or against anything. They just vote for a name with a letter beside it.
@CatsFanGG24 So you now agree that there is nothing wrong with trade deficits and Trump is an idiot?
Has anyone in this thread made a post about trade deficits that wasn't mocking whackadoodle doo Platinum? Besides Platinum?
Im just making sure you drones understand how full of shit Trump is. He promised the deficits would rapidly plummet as soon as he took office. That it would be bigly easy because he is the worlds best negotiator. All he has done is skyrocket every form of deficit we have because he is completely clueless how our economy & government actually work.
Is the wall built yet? The pentagon reported yesterday that not a single dime of Trumps "emergency" money or even the new bill has been spent because they still haven't spent even half of last years money. He is really in a hurry to get that wall built. Seems to me like he is purposefully dragging it out to make sure it is still an issue he can campaign on for 2020.
Don't know why she is trying not to lie. She has perjured herself every other time she went before congress. "we have no policy of child separation"
You do know that USA trade deficit is a measure of how well the economy is doing, right? Note how it dropped with the 2001 & 2009 recessions. See that? Net, the 2018 deficit shows how great the Trump economy is doing - more people are working & thus spending. Aren't you happy?
Thoughts on Trump and the potential veto after the senate passes the bill saying he has no emergency money ? Most think he veto's ?
no shit sherlock. a stronger economy means more purchasing power and more trade deficits. And the US just has a shitload of money and doesn't produce a lot of goods other countries want so our deficit always goes up. Europe and Asia hate our industrialized food products and only buy them because we force them to as the price of doing business. Maybe you should try explaining that to the ****ing moron that sits in the oval office.You do know that USA trade deficit is a measure of how well the economy is doing, right?

of course he veto's, he looks like a complete imbecile if he doesn't. The question is how far will he push the GoP away to the point where they may even override the veto. Rand Paul says at least 10 republicans will vote against his emergency. He is generally full of shit but if it gets close to that kind of number Trump is in a lot of trouble. If the GoP see the winds shifting they will turn on Trump without a 2nd thought. re-election is all they care about and will happily cut loose dead weight.
Yeah, he's pretty clueless on this one. The United States is the second biggest exporter in the world.
We export services not goods. They want our logistics and web services not our shitty food. we have a 200 billion surplus in services and a 850 billion deficit in goods.

I just noticed at the top of the thread list, the last post to this thread was made by "ignored member". Since I know who that is, it made me smile. Prolly saved about 47 brain cells to boot. #winning #MAGA
Are you really acting like the left doesn't constantly talk about race? Your side can't go 5 minutes without hating someone for being white lol.
He better veto it. Go figure, Republicans couldn't get rid of Obamacare but they can unite to try to stop the border from being secured.
Will someone send to plat? He is afraid of me I guess. From 2014.
Under CBO’s revised baseline projections, growth in spending – especially for Social Security, health care and interest on the federal debt – will outpace growth in revenues over the coming decade. Under the latest CBO scenario, deficits will increase modestly through 2018 but then start to accelerate, reaching $1.4 trillion in 2026 absent some legislative intervention to slow the growth of spending.

This is happening because Trump signed that moronic funding bill guaranteeing any migrant the right to live in the US if they claim any kind of proximity to a child. Congress should all be recalled for writing it and Trump impeached for signing it.
Was honestly hoping the policy he revoked was the one that allowed for the droning of US Citizens without due process.
Lmao yeah the crisis at the border just now started happening. Run with that one. Not like its been happening for 20+ years.
