Pelosi, Schumer demand equal airtime for Democrats after Trump address

DougBH · 2019-01-08T04:05:17.722Z

No objection. Assuming the speech is over his proposing funding for the wall, that is now a political matter. By all means, lets show America Nancy Pelosi arguing against border security.

I don’t think any of the three of them would know what a fact was if it bit them on the ass.

Hmmm…trump’s address will be far more entertaining- as long as he skips the Stephen Miller TelePrompter speech.

His dyslexia doesn’t allow him to use a teleprompter.

Orygun · 2019-01-08T04:59:40.575Z

Right - he starts with prepared remarks but it’s obvious he hates it- switches into extemporaneous nonsensical ranting with a few tired memes for the Red Meat Club. Definitely entertaining.

pam95650:

The ■■■■■■■■■■■■ will announce National Emergency for his ■■■■■■■ wall. Bet me.

Yeah I’m starting to think this is the strategy. He declares an emergency, orders funding to be redirected from other parts of the Defense budget toward the Wall. Democrats sue. The Courts prevent Trump from diverting money to the Wall. He gets to tweet that he tried everything he could but the democrats and the liberal court and the swamp are all against him.

this. its his MO

raise rhetoric
2)create artificial crisis
3)halfass solution with incompetence execution
claim victory
move on to new topic and ignore the latest dumpster fire pretending it never existed

In the past, at public presentations for building, when given reading material, he finds reasons avoid reading the material. He has a reading disability.

being lazy, short tempered and ignorant is not a disability

I’m trying to find a dentist who is open during the time period of the address so I can spend the time getting a root canal done. It will be more enjoyable.

It will be fun if Trump does his usual lying and they call him with the facts.

Would make no difference to his deplorable worshippers.

CaughtInTheMiddle · 2019-01-08T13:04:21.833Z

I’d say swing voters, most women and a lot of the military have figured out that Trump is a con man now.

Which is really weird because a ton of people knew that in the 80s/90s.

Particularly people in NYC who had to deal with him.

I am sure the D rebuttal will be immediate and merciless.

I hope President Trump makes a good case. He should be able to with DHS reports and DOJ evidence.

DEMAND equal air time? Well OK if you insist. I will be watching.

TommyLucchese · 2019-01-08T14:20:28.682Z

Why did the thread about the address get deleted?

You mean the same reports that talk about the 4000 suspected terrorists stopped at the southern border?

You don’t know what those reports actually said, do you?

Camp · 2019-01-08T14:50:38.801Z

Did I make that claim?

NO. Tune in this evening and find out what the issue is with the rest of us.

Lol

What will happen is the Democrats will show they are FOR border security, are not “open border” supporters like Mr. Trump likes to lie and claim, and they will show that they favor solutions that actually address the problem, while explaining how wasting tax dollars on a stupid wall will do nothing to address the actual problem. They will fact-check the multiple lies Mr. Trump will most certainly spew, and they will confirm what the majority of America agrees with, that Mr. Trump promised Mexico would pay for the wall, and now he is holding the government hostage over American taxpayers not funding it.

It appears the major networks will carry the Democratic rebuttal. As they should.

NBC News

Major networks will carry Democratic response to Trump immigration speech

Democratic leaders demanded equal time after the networks agreed to carry Trump's speech. So far, NBC, CNN and CBS agreed.

I hope Trump shows clips of Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton and Obama saying that we need the wall

They’ve never said we need what Trump is demanding. So I hope he does too, if for no other reason than to end this silly CEC talking point.
