    Cult members are gonna cult. Benito Mussolini claimed to make the trains run on time…. and they didn’t. Still, when people default their skepticism, sense, and values to a single person who claims “only I can save you,” well, even plain evidence to the contrary will be dismissed as nonsense.

    It would be honestly sad if the entire movement wasn’t an anti-democratic (small d, here, you rascally right wingers) attempt at permanently holding power.

    In your rush to applaud Trump, I don't think you read far or carefully enough. There may be other things to give him credit for, but this isn't one of them.

    The Mexican president corrected this account on X: “We reiterate that Mexico’s position is not to close borders but to build bridges between governments and between peoples.”

    She's already calling Trump a liar about his claims on how the conversation went. We all know Trump is a liar, so this checks out.

    This will also put more pressure on the Social Security system. We had people paying in who were never going to draw benefits.

    I’m willing to see if Trumps strong arm tactics make a difference on these particular issues. If they do, I’ll give him credit.

    while I think we need more order at the border in terms of immigration, I do think we are better off with immigration that none.

    The fentanyl is a whole different issue to me. When you have near 100,000 people dying every year, I’m more open to drastic action. How we sit by on our hands and sigh “there’s nothing we can do” is beyond me (similar to tens of thousands of gun deaths). If threatening tariffs can move the needle on that, then color me a fan.

    LOL. Ya’ll forgot he just controls the narrative and puts everyone on the defensive. Now she she looks weak to her cartel bosses. He’s really good at this with nominal effort. Even Canada is worried.

    And as proof of my unwavering support of the 1st amendment, you have every right to hate America and to be outspoken about it. Thank you for being honest.

    I'm sure @gatormonk will be along any minute now to correct this mess of a thread starting with the thread title and this little gem from his original post.:

    "This is how you do it."

    That didn't age well.

    Truth is, none of us know what was said In those discussions.

    A literal he said, she said.

    Politicians lie. My guess is both are bending the truth. We just already know that one of them has a habit of...er..um...embellishing.

    So color me skeptical of his claim.

    Honestly, how will we know? He has made up numbers about immigration during the campaign, he can just make up the “success” during his presidency.

    If Trump was going to win this tweet war, he would put immigration agents at the front of every entrance to a US-Mexico soccer game on US soil. That would invoke some action.

    Lame.

    Both sides suck. Both sides lie. Both sides sent out a tweet.

    You have no idea what the truth is.

    Im sorry it pisses everyone off that some of us admit it.

    I said this about Mexico tariffs the other day. If this was the play, well done!

    Provided it comes to fruition.
