  4. Just when you think Trump cannot get more stupider….

    While I defend him against the Deep State, that doesn’t mean I like the man. I just dislike the Deep State more. It’s less truthful, less lawful and less civilized that Mr Trump.

    I can respect that.

  6. What worries me is that if Trump is not indeed that stupid, then he certainly thinks his followers are.

  7. “One way or another” your golf ball seems to always have the better lie, Captain, sir.

  8. A 14 year old girl fell and broker back and other children have been seriously injured when they have been empaled on iron rods sticking out of the cement. now a 7 year old girl has died of thirst while in border patrol custody as she begged for water for 8 hours. if security footage of her final hours dying we should put it on tv in guatamala and honduras that we will let your children die of thirst while we watch so don’t bring your children here. that would scare them!

  9. As usual, perry is making stuff up. Here’s the story from the Washington Post. I’ll even bold the parts that might be of interest to perry:

    According to CBP records, the girl and her father were taken into custody about 10 p.m. Dec. 6 south of Lordsburg, N.M., as part of a group of 163 people who approached U.S. agents to turn themselves in.

    More than eight hours later, the child began having seizures at 6:25 a.m., CBP records show. Emergency responders, who arrived soon after, measured her body temperature at 105.7 degrees, and according to a statement from CBP, she “reportedly had not eaten or consumed water for several days.”

    After a helicopter flight to Providence Children’s Hospital in El Paso, the child went into cardiac arrest and “was revived,” according to the agency. “However, the child did not recover and died at the hospital less than 24 hours after being transported,” CBP said.

    [. . .]

    Food and water are typically provided to migrants in Border Patrol custody, and it wasn’t immediately clear Thursday if the girl received provisions and a medical exam before the onset of seizures.

    “Our sincerest condolences go out to the family of the child,” CBP spokesman Andrew Meehan said in a statement to The Washington Post.

    “Border Patrol agents took every possible step to save the child’s life under the most trying of circumstances,” Meehan said. “As fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, we empathize with the loss of any child.”

    Could it be that the Border Patrol is lying here? Sure it could. But considering that perry has been insisting that the FBI are a bunch of truth-tellers (uh, Strozk and Page not being counted) and that the present-day bureaucrats who staff the EPA and Labor Department, along with the holdovers from Obama’s State Department and Justice Department are chock full of truth-tellers who never had a dishonest word emanate from their lips, I wonder why he now singles out Homeland Security as the one department staffed by evil liars who torture small children to death.

    So to summarize, if you try to overwhelm our border with your young child in tow, and you put the child in a dangerous position where she has to go without food or water for several days all because you want to use her as a free pass to jump the immigration lines, don’t be surprised if by the time you are apprehended by border patrol that it’s too late to help her.

  11. Put a bag over her head, and she’s not half bad. I like a zoftig woman with a waist you can hold on to. But she should lose the high heels. I don’t know why women think that having their calves bunched up like half a football is attractive.

  12. if mr. donald trump the president says head lice mexico will pay for the wall, then head lice mexico will pay for the wall

    because mr. donald trump the president is smart that way and he knows who pays for things and that’s why i love him

  15. Seriously what is your answer, you don’t think ulla is unscrupulous enough to let a terrorist perhaps from the Darien camp into his entourage, then you’re not paying attention.

    Narciso (7d6e72) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:06 am

  16. It’s amusing to see the MBM flog this as proof Trump lies about his campaign promises and there are zillions of crickets chirping over “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”…..

    CygnusAnalogMan (9c66ec) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:11 am

  17. Ah, not that Nancy Wilson.
    I’m guessing that, by tomorrow, Trump’s tweet will be fact-checked, and it was expelled from his ass, like so many of his tweets are.

  19. everyone feels better knowing we’re building a wall to stop the white walkers and the head lice scourge they bring

    President Trump engenders feelings of peace and contentment

  20. You know when they killed off natalie dorner that was a deal breaker.

    Narciso (7d6e72) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:21 am

  21. **spoiler alert**

    happyfeet (28a91b) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:27 am

  24. speaking of killing off

    the cowardly French are slaughtering the yellow vest people in the streets

    wholesale slaughter

    not a good look

    but sleazebag lifeydoodle marco rubio’s pooping his pants over a dead terror-loving shoggy doggy?

    there’s just no accounting for these people

    happyfeet (28a91b) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:29 am

  25. Well the yellow vests are silly to point out their livelihoods are being sacrificed to sky dragons (who don’t even sound like Sean connery)

    Narciso (7d6e72) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:31 am

  26. That’s why the CBC gotta go Wall…that, or else your gonna have to have the same welcome mat for DeKlerks and DeBoers and the Van Oorts thst you roll out for the licers

    urbanleftbehind (3d4138) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:34 am

  27. Meh. Politicians make and break promises. It’s what they do. I don’t think anyone expected a wall, or expected Mexico to pay for it.

  28. Seriously though, south Africa is the engine of the continent, if there is murder and famine there it will spread elsewhere

    Narciso (7d6e72) — 12/14/2018 @ 6:40 am

  29. gonna have to get a new engine

  36. Nancy Wilson… I must admit my initial thought was the lady from Heart, but it should’ve been with the lady with class and style.

    When I listen to classic rock on the radio, if a song from Heart comes on, my reflex action to tune to another station can be measured in milliseconds. If the song is “Crazy On You”, it’s in a picosecond, which, come to think of it is amazing, given I’m 66 years old.

    Colonel Haiku (2184e5) — 12/14/2018 @ 7:48 am

  37. Thats the camera and editing, in real life shes the bipedal Kermit the Frog muse.

    urbanleftbehind (3d4138) — 12/14/2018 @ 7:50 am

  38. If Trump really wanted to own the libs he would announce that all white South African refugees would be given immediate asylum in the U.S. Imagine how heads would explode at the New York Times and MSNBC. He could even up the ante by characterizing South Africa as a “s***hole country.”

    JVW (42615e) — 12/14/2018 @ 8:37 am

  39. Lol, JVW.

  40. To be fair, Narciso, they have the silver lining of Islam never really taking a hold that far down there.

    urbanleftbehind (3d4138) — 12/14/2018 @ 9:08 am

  41. Same rules as the Soviet Jews. Communist regime, persecuted minority.

    nk (dbc370) — 12/14/2018 @ 9:09 am

  42. It’s not their fault the Union of South Africa did not have as glorious a Post Office, CTA or DMVs to pawn off to the “them”.

    urbanleftbehind (3d4138) — 12/14/2018 @ 9:12 am

  43. If the song is “Crazy On You”, it’s in a picosecond, which, come to think of it is amazing, given I’m 66 years old.

    The same, but Barracuda still rocks and Straight On is one of my all-time favorites. Back in late 1970s Seattle, they were big-time. They did a New Years show at the Coliseum and it was so popular they added two more shows on consecutive days, also sold out.

  44. No comments on the closing of “The Weekly Standard”?

    Personally, I love seeing the free market in action.

    Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

    Personally, I love seeing the free market in action.

    Yes, our beliefs and ideals should be wholly governed by Mammon.

    Look what a paragon of virtue that philosophy produced in Donald Trump.

    Unless it’s Twitter, Google, or Facebook. Amirite?
