@Walter Hinteler,
He has no internal mechanism that we'd describe as "a conscience". He will lie (and he does lie daily, often multiple times a day) to anyone and to everyone without any sign at all of remorse, guillt or regret. He clearly does not care who he hurts or how many he hurts or how badly he hurts them. Everything is about greed, domination and self-aggrandizement.

He is a sociopath.
Quote:
The DSM-5 states that the essential feature is their willingness to “disregard [or violate] the rights of others.” From my experience of over 30 years dealing with legal cases, family conflicts, workplace disputes and other situations as a high-conflict consultant, I would say that the driving force with sociopaths (and they have lots of energy) is to dominate others. This may or may not involve breaking the law. They want to dominate people in order to get things from them, such as their possessions, money, sex, business partners, homes, cars, investments, reputation and so forth. But they also like dominating others just for the feeling of it—the feeling of power and control. Sociopaths lack a conscience, so they will do anything to get what they want.

...Sociopaths are fast talkers. Their words are mostly false, if not entirely false. But they use many, many words designed to cover their behavior. They may be a completely different person from who they say that they are. Watch out for extremes. Big promises. Big stories, about the past or the future. Big plans, with no basis for them or no experience at whatever they’re planning.


There's much more at this Psychology Today article and much, much more you can go through via wikipedia. But it is long past time that we all got honest about what this guy is and the danger this situation presents.

The idea of the FBI selecting US presidents is very high on the list of things that the United States does not need...

The new AG needs to clean house in the DOJ, and then take on the FBI.

Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily

No emergency?
Quote:
Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Quote:
In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:

The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;

Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.



And this article is from 2006. I suspect it is more than 12 Americans a day in 2019.

In that case a Democrat will never be elected. Thanks for the warning Nancy.

@coldjoint,
Democrats do hate civil liberties and love to violate them for fun.

But the courts will never allow them to do it.

Lies That Become Truth Because The Media Tell Them So Much

Quote:
One example is the media’s claim that our President “admitted to sexual assault” on the Access Hollywood tape. The media and their Democrat allies have told this lie so much that it basically became true. Without going too deep here, Trump used the word “let” on that tape. He said “they let you do it.” And the word “let” confers consent. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to think it’s pretty. But you shouldn’t stoke hatred and division — you shouldn’t dilute the gravity of real sexual assault, and the plight of real victims — by lying about it. If someone lets you do something, what you did isn’t sexual assault. “Words Matter!”, right Resistance Jake Tapper? Isn’t that what you and your friends at CNN are always shrieking at us? Well, it’d be great if you stopped choosing to ignore the words that destroy your anti-Trump narrative. Just a thought.

Many more examples of lies still perpetuated by many on this forum.

The Lies of Ilhan Omar and the Progressive Socialists

These are Democrats. Do Democrats realize that? Do they realize they are outwardly hateful and extremely anti-American? It might not matter because the voters know.
Quote:
Omar and the other progressive socialists in the Democrat Party continue to find rights for those who they are trying to guarantee to vote for them. According to Omar, housing and healthcare is now a “right”. Nowhere in the founding documents of our country are these “rights” mentioned, perhaps because the founders believed in the rugged individualism that built this country to the shining beacon it is to the world. She whines about how “immoral” our country is in not funding housing for the homeless, claiming we must cut money from the military and DHS to fund it. She, along with other progressive socialists Rashida Talib and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, have declared that DHS has been inhumane in the treatment of illegal immigrants and has abused the authority it was given. She has said that the refugees have been detained and tortured. Perhaps she has mistaken DHS for the authorities in the Arab world, neglecting to mention the detentions and tortures perpetrated by the authorities in Gaza. They claim that we should not be prosecuting immigrants who are part of the fabric of our community which leads me to ask questions.

http://www.intellectualconservative.com/the-lies-of-ilhan-omar-and-the-progressive-socialists/

Quote:
1. How many legal immigrants are in the camps that they so despise? NONE

2. Why do they conflate immigrants and illegal aliens? It is an attempt to confuse the American people

3. 3. How did they become part of the fabric of our community when they are here illegally? And just whose community? Not the ones they live in, they have their gated and luxury apartments in Washington and in their home districts..

I find that the leftists do this most of the time. Those who are invading our southern border are called refugees, or undocumented immigrants without admitting the illegality of without admitting the illegality of what these illegal aliens do.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday declared a national emergency at the southern border while acknowledging that rapid construction of a wall is not a necessity, but rather his preference. In justifying the extraordinary step, he brushed aside his administration's conclusions that drugs come into the country primarily at official points of entry, not over remote territory that a barrier could seal off.

Trump invoked what his aides called the "common authority" of presidents to take unilateral action through the declaration of a national emergency. But there's nothing common about a president taking command of billions of dollars without the approval of Congress to pay for a campaign promise.

"I could do the wall over a longer period of time," Trump said, raising questions about why he sees an emergency unfolding today. "I didn't need to do this, but I'd rather do it much faster."

At a Rose Garden news conference, Trump also claimed progress on wall construction that hasn't occurred.

A look at some of his comments:

TRUMP: "I've built a lot of wall.

THE FACTS: He's built no new miles of wall. His new construction to date has replaced existing barriers.

This month marks the start of construction of 14 miles (22 kilometers) of fencing in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, the first lengthening of barrier in his presidency. That's from money approved by Congress a year ago, most of which was for renovating existing barrier.

Money approved by Congress in the new deal to avert another government shutdown would cover about 55 more miles (88 km).

He has often portrayed his wall, falsely, as largely complete, to a point where "Finish the wall" has become his rallying cry, replacing "Build the wall." That masks a distinct lack of progress in physically sealing the border — a frustration that is now prompting him to find money outside the normal channels of congressional appropriation.

THE FACTS: Those declarations were rarely as consequential, and that's precisely why they were mostly uncontroversial. He's roughly correct about the numbers. But past declarations did not involve the unilateral spending of substantial sums of money that Congress — which holds the power of the purse — did not approve.

Emergency declarations by Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were overwhelmingly for the purpose of addressing crises that emerged abroad. Many blocked foreign interests or terrorist-linked entities from access to funds. Some prohibited certain imports from or investments in countries associated with human rights abuses.

Trump's number resembles findings from the Brennan Center for Justice, which has tracked 58 emergency declarations back to 1978.

"It's extremely rare for a president to declare a national emergency in a bid to fund domestic construction projects, particularly one that Congress has explicitly refused to fund," said Andrew Boyle, an attorney in the national security program at the center. "The ones that former presidents declared are of a different sort.

Obama declared a national emergency in July 2011 to impose sanctions on transnational criminal groups, blocking any American property interests and freezing their assets, authorizing financial sanctions against anyone aiding them and barring their members from entering the United States. It authorized sanctions against criminal cartels in Mexico, Japan, Italy and Eastern Europe. It did not direct billions in spending by the U.S. treasury.

TRUMP: "A big majority of the big drugs — the big drug loads don't go through ports of entry. They can't go through ports of entry. You can't take big loads because you have people — we have some very capable people, the Border Patrol, law enforcement, looking."

THE FACTS: He has persistently contradicted his officials on this point. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says illicit drugs come into the country mainly at entry ports. The agency said in a 2018 report that the most common trafficking technique by transnational criminal organizations is to hide drugs in passenger vehicles or tractor-trailers as they drive into the U.S. at official crossings. They also use buses, cargo trains and tunnels, the report says, citing smuggling methods that would not be choked off by a border wall.

"Only a small percentage" of heroin seized by U.S. authorities comes across on territory between ports of entry, the agency says, and the same is true of drugs generally. Marijuana is one exception.

Even if a wall could stop all drugs from Mexico, America's drug problem would be far from over. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says about 40 percent of opioid deaths in 2016 involved prescription painkillers. Those drugs are made by pharmaceutical companies. Some feed the addiction of people who have prescriptions; others are stolen and sold on the black market. Moreover, illicit versions of powerful synthetic opioids such as fentanyl have come to the U.S. from China, not Mexico.

You do realize if situation were reversed or these were people dying in resettlement camps in the ME , all non Americans, one life would have the progressive Democrats screaming we have to save them. Why don't they worry about saving one American life?


No one in their right mind can tell me that a wall will not save one life or spoil one drug or human traffickers day. Get your **** together and start caring about your fellow Americans. If we can do anything to prevent American deaths we should do it. Letting Americans die in a power grab, not by the president, is shameful.

@coldjoint,
That's easy - because it doesn't address the root of the problem.

Fighting drug addiction by limiting the amount that enters into the market only does one thing - drive price up. It's not a cure nor does it even register as a speed bump.

A wall can't stop desire.
