Why hold people hostage if you're just gonna let them go without compensation? Criminal 101.
Ah Twilight Zone. This reenforces my feelings on it being one of the greatest shows of all time. It's scary how relevant this episode still is.
So pride and ego, essentially.
Good to know, fuckhead
EDIT: Oh yeah, the fact that it's Holding Ransom 101 also helps loads.
Wow, opening narration has Trump down to a tee.

Oh god...
And hey, speaking of the Twilight Zone:
Newt Gingrich: Trump 1, Pelosi-Schumer 0 -- Border wall debate did not turn out well for Dems Tuesday night

Ironically, he must not have watched the Fox News coverage of Trump's speech, where Shep Smith mercilessly fact checked the speech moments afterward, better even that the AP did.

Sadly, all of this is consistent with current Republican world-view and is, in no way alarming to them; reality really IS whatever Trump decides it is, and they'll go along with it. They're okay with this new interpretation of the world.
This is why he was telling reporters at the private lunch that the speech and border visits are a waste of time. He honestly believes that he's winning this and the public is behind him. How do you negotiate with a lunatic?
Jon should have quipped back with a "why are you asking me, do you need my advice?"
I guess the bigger question is, "In a sane country, a lunatic wouldn't have been given all this power. So how do you fix a country willing to vote for a lunatic, and how do you fix a political party willing to indulge that same lunatic?"
None of this would be happening in the first place if reason and sanity had prevailed in the country as a whole. Trump didn't take the Presidency, it was given to him by voters and the Republican party.
"I have the absolute right to do national emergency if I want," Trump added.
Do national emergency.
This fucking muppet said DO. NATIONAL. EMERGENCY.
Do national emergency.
This fucking muppet said DO. NATIONAL. EMERGENCY.
The wife and I may refer to our baby having diaper accidents as "doing the national emergency".
Yeah, this actually is the problem. I came into work and overheard a couple of my GOP co-workers ranting about "The big media stations all being run by Democrats" which I can only assume was their answer to why Trump's speech isn't being well covered or maybe why Schumer/Pelosi were allowed to respond (they know better than to talk to me about that stuff) but the bottom line is they're working without being paid just like I am but they clearly don't blame Trump for this. They just sit in their offices all day being spoon-fed hatred by Fox and eating up whatever they and Trump tells them to believe. I can walk by one of their offices right now and there's a 90% chance of some bullshit concern trolling story on right now about the "border crisis" like there has been every day since the shutdown began.
They were unified in wanting a clean bill passed before Trump's tantrum, things can change quickly.
More than facts, the idea is to play with Trump fear of muslims, although on second thought, he would maybe came out with an even dumber or dangerous idea

CP24 was reporting it as the dems fault for not funding Trump's wall. The little word crawl at the bottom of the screen. Fucking smh.
Please leave the Muppets out of this. They're just trying to make an honest living, and tend to speak eloquently. Even Animal.
Ok, here is the thing:
This isn't about immigration or racism or any of that for Trump. That's just his excuse.
This is about building some massive national monument to "Trump," something to rival Mt. Rushmore in his mind. It's sort of what he's been building towards his whole life.
This is all about Ego.
I'm surprised that he didn't add "Great word, medieval. The best. A lot of people don't know that I invented it.".
For a while now I've been speculating that Trump's obsession with "walls" might be in part due to how he views Israeli's "wall" (i.e., the largest open air prison on Earth surrounding Gaza) and actually now said it out-loud.
This also makes sense to me why he was suggesting actually shooting migrant border crossers if they threw rocks. Which is what happened to many Palestinians regardless if they threw rocks or not. Trump is as wanna-be ruthless as Bibi. The U.S. has enough darkness in its past for the treatment and rounding up of Native Americans and others throughout its past.
Besides that, 'walls' also have the side affect of further endangering animal species as well; cutting of their territory and just expecting them to adapt to our human issues.

Speeches work, though, fellas. I have encountered 3 people today who said, "well, Trump said that people were getting through and murdering people and heroin is coming in. Maybe we do need a wall..."
I had to patiently explain why everything Trump said was a lie. They trust me, so they were swayed back to reality, but it is a little disheartening that the President Shitbag can just lie and insinuate other things and people will believe him, just because he is the president.

That's the ultimate power of his authority. To persuade without empirical evidence.
