Oh Boy!!!!! Hope we get to hear all about what Crooked Hillary has been up to, and that closet Muslim Obama too!!!!!!............Peace.........joe
Will Trump bring along Sanders & Conway for 30 minutes of perpetual lies?
It should make for great unreality TV....Watching Trump try and sell/scare the American electorate into paying for a Wall he has no definition of, specifics for, or even real plan to build....Seriously, 8 minutes of buffoonery.

In all seriousness, what’s there to watch? He will say there is a huge threat of terrorists, rapists, and gangsters at the border attacking troops and forcing entry. What’s the need to tune in?

Those links make for some good reading.
Over / under of 3.5. That seems like an awfully low number. This may be a sucker bet. May be safer to take a contrarian bet? Then again, if Trump goes off script & improvises, 3.5 could be a gift to take the over.

He'll be on the radio too! Thursday he will be at the border where the national security problems are. Yes problems, narcotics trafficking, MS-13 gang members coming in, Isis fighters who trained at those camps Alex Jones told you about across the border in El Paso etc. etc. There IS a problem.

A kindred spirit! I haven't had a TV for at least a decade & life is good. I get in-depth news from selected print & transcripts and stream entertainment/sports of my choosing. The best part is I never, ever have to have people shrieking over each other in my home.
I wish the networks had said no. He's not making a statement that warrants primetime prez usage. The networks - afraid that he'll say they discount him (like he doesn't say that anyway) - caved. They should've kept their regular entertainment programming & interrupted w/breaking news if there's actually any news.
An alternative would be for NBC to re-run an episode of The Apprentice.

How long is the speech?????? 3.5 seems really low if the speech is longer than 12 minutes. I don't think DJT has ever kept to a script (the long running lame joke being that he can't actually read) & spontaneously combusts at every opportunity.
I think checking out Stormy's laundry folding on instagram is a much better use of time.
If Trump's speech is being broadcast on the major networks, then for once he will be right about "fake news" on those networks.

When I first saw this I thought it said 35 over/under and I was thinking, maybe the under. But 3.5? The Washington Post is used for grading, but even Fox News could find 4.
CNN is doing a "Prebuttal"
I just looked up the odds: https://www.bookmaker.eu/live-lines/politics
You have to put up $450 to win $100 on the over. Heavy odds.

Taking Clemson & the points last night was a gift for betters. Betting on Trump & his lies...classic.
Technically you'd be betting against Trump on the over 3.5 falsehoods. Betting on Trump (or believing him) would be taking the under assuming he will tell 3 or less falsehoods. Over 3.5 should be easy money, but you have to pony up 4.5:1 to do it.
He'll be on the radio too!
Oh joy.
I will pass on the Two Minutes Hate this evening. . . all a tad too Orwellian for my taste.
I wouldn't and didn't watch his entire speech. I caught about 2 minutes - enough to see him reading. He seems very unnatural reading - something like a fifth grader...much different than his delivery at red meat campaign rallies.
Not sure how many lies he told and if he exceeded the over under. Will have to read up on the fact checkers. However I did find this article reflecting Shep Smith of FOX discussing the lies. Pretty bad when the prez's favorite and only go to TV network calls out his lies.

Your observation that Trump was uncomfortable reading underscores the lame running joke that Trump can't read. That's obviously not the case, but his impatience/inability to focus/comprehend even the shortest documents is one of the symptoms that led to the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" - a collection of observations made by psychiatrists edited by a Yale psychiatrist that DJT was mentally unfit for the office prior to his election.
Although psychs can't diagnose w/o seeing a pt, a number of psychs noted his lifelong narcissism, pathological lying, lack of impulse control, & poor concentration as symptoms of a man with emotional compulsions so unstable that when he won, approached Congress w/a warning that it should give serious consideration to invoking the 25th amendment. His refusal to read briefs has certainly unsettled the DOJ & pentagon.
Trump knows he's not good when constrained by a script. Reports are surfacing that he didn't want the TV scripted format but was "pushed" by his advisers. Who knows what's true, but the fact remains that the man communicates best when making grandiose false extemporaneous pronouncements. Even the 280 (formerly 140) Twitter character limit allows him to make head-scratching & contradictory statements in a single tweet.
How about we give Trump $5bilion for enhanced border security, in the form of more foot agents on the ground patrolling the porous areas? It would help catch illegals and create jobs. Would Trump supporters be ok with that? LOL, just kidding. I know these deranged idiot babies need a wall to feel safe, and couldn’t care less about creating jobs.

You have to love the childish interplay between the two Parties. "Give me this or I'll".....and "Drop your demand and we'll return to the table"....Right, like that is going to accomplish anything with a Problem that has been ongoing for decades. Yeah, The Democrats have a solution that will fix everything!...Right
"Trump can't read"......and Pelosi and Schumer were were wearing so much make-up they could have passed for extras in the Walking Dead.
Nice work, this is going to go on for quite a while....

LOL. I literally can't look at any of them. They all look like mediawhore Frankensteins to me. The Walking Dead is a lot easier to watch.

The sad thing, Big V, is that the parties did have a bill with enough bi-partisan support just a few weeks back. Republicans and Democrats did actually decide to work together. However, we have a THIRD force beyond the two groups of elected officials: the media. The right-wing media took Trump to task, and he folded.

Jim is correct. Trump was on board until the right-wing media intervened. Also Trump got a dose from the Freedom Caucus members of HOR which are little more than an extension of right wing media.
Facts matter, and this goes against the idea of "childish interplay between two parties". It is actually not Dems vs GOP. It is Trump. And it is Trump who proudly said that he'd own the shutdown. He's doing a great job of leading. 😛

Exactly. Blaming an entire political party or affiliation is the height of laziness. Bad apples are to blame, and they are not specific to any political affiliation.
THE Speech from the Oval Office.
My fellow Americans, tonight I am speaking to you because there is a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border. Every day customs and border patrol agents encounter thousands of illegal immigrants trying to enter our country. We are out of space to hold them and we have no way to promptly return them back home to their country.
America proudly welcomes millions of lawful immigrants who enrich our society and contribute to our nation. But all Americans are hurt by uncontrolled, illegal migration. It strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages. Among those hardest hit are African-Americans and Hispanic Americans.
Our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs including meth, heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. Every week 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90 percent of which floods across from our southern border. More Americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in the entire Vietnam War.
In the last two years, ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4000 violent killings. Over the years thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now.
This is a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul. Last month 20,000 migrant children were illegally brought into the United States, a dramatic increase. These children are used as human pawns by vicious coyotes and ruthless gangs. One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico.
Women or children are the biggest victims by far of our broken system. This is the tragic reality of illegal immigration on our southern border. This is the cycle of human suffering that I am determined to end.
My administration has presented Congress with a detailed proposal to secure the border and stop the criminal gangs, drug smugglers and human traffickers. It's a tremendous problem. Our proposal was developed by law enforcement professionals and border agents at the Department of Homeland Security. These are the resources they have requested to properly perform their mission and keep America safe. In fact, safer than ever before.
The proposal from Homeland security includes cutting-edge technology for detecting drugs, weapons, illegal contraband, and many other things. We have requested more agents, immigration judges, and bed space to process the sharp rise in unlawful migration fueled by our very strong economy.
Our plan also contains an urgent request for humanitarian assistance and medical support. Furthermore, we have asked Congress to close border security loopholes so that illegal immigrant children can be safely and humanely returned back home.
Finally, as part of an overall approach to border security law enforcement professionals have requested $5.7 billion for a physical barrier. At the request of Democrats, it will be a steel barrier rather than a concrete wall. This barrier is absolutely critical to border security. It's also what are professionals at the border want and need.
This is just common sense. The border wall would very quickly pay for itself. The cost of illegal drugs exceeds $500 billion a year, vastly more than the $5.7 billion we have requested from Congress.
The wall will also be paid for indirectly by the great new trade to deal we have made with Mexico. Senator Chuck Schumer, who you will be hearing from later tonight, has repeatedly supported a physical barrier in the past along with many other Democrats. They changed their mind only after I was elected president. Democrats in Congress have refused to acknowledge the crisis and they have refused to provide our bright brave border agents with the tools they desperately need to protect our families and our nation.
The federal government remains shut down for one reason and one reason only because Democrats will not fund border security. My administration is doing everything in our power to help those impacted by the situation, but the only solution is for Democrats to pass a spending bill that defends our borders and reopens of the government. This situation could be solved in a 45-minute meeting. I have invited congressional leadership to the White House tomorrow to get this done. Hopefully, we can rise above partisan politics in order to support national security.
Some have suggested that barrier is immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes? They don't build walls because they hate the people on the outside but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is the politicians to do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized.
America's heart broke the day after Christmas when a young police officer in California was savagely murdered in cold blood by an illegal alien, who just came across the border. The life of an American hero was stolen by someone who had no right to be in our country. Day after day precious lives are cut short by those who have violated our borders.
In California, an Air Force veteran was raped, murdered, and beaten to death with a hammer by an illegal alien with a long criminal history. In Georgia, an illegal alien was recently charged with murder for killing, beheading, and dismembering his neighbor. In Maryland, MS-13 gang members who arrived in the United States as unaccompanied minors were arrested and charged last year after viciously stabbing and beating a 16-year-old girl.
Over the last several years I've met with dozens of families whose loved ones were stolen by illegal immigration. I've held the hands of the weeping mothers and embraced the grief-stricken fathers. So sad. So terrible. I will never forget the pain in their eyes, the trouble in their voices, and the sadness gripping their souls.
How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job? To those who refuse to compromise in the name of border security, I would ask, imagine if it was your child, your husband, or your wife whose life was so cruelly shattered and totally broken. To every member of Congress, pass a bill that in this crisis. To every citizen, call Congress and tell them to finally, after all of these decades, secure our border. This is a choice between right and wrong, justice and injustice. This is about whether we fulfill our sacred duty to the American citizens we serve. When I took the oath of office, I swore to protect our country and that is what I will always do, so help me God. Thank you and good night.
Comments: He delivered a great speech. To the point, with examples to back up why there is a serious problem and WHY we need a wall and border security. Unfortunately there are still those who will say this fact is not exact. Bottom Line, WE NEED BORDER SECURITY. Nit picking will not solve the problems of having an open, unsecured border.

Nonsense. The Republicans had control of the House and Senate and the White House the last 2 years and did not fund a border wall. Period.
