Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

Yeah, sure, over the whole length of more than 3000 km, with its varied terrain
Also the funds in the federal budget are earmarked when they get approved by the congress ... and none of the funds destined for the military was earmarked as being used for a border wall between the USA and Mexico


Also IIRC Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall ...
well, I guess as soon as Trump does some negotiation magic and Mexico has transferred the funds, work on the border wall can begin.
Shouldn't be much more difficult than to win trade wars, or to present a healthcare system that costs less and yet covers more US citizens than Obamacare did

The funds have been earmarked for national defense. That's what the wall is for.

The barbed wire fence has been there for over 100 years already, genius.

Check the news genius.

Where's the MOAB on Russia Collusion? They shot their load too early?

Military is putting up barbed wire fencing on the border. If they can do that they can build a wall.

Gee, that last quote sounds like something our Kidiot would post.

Stacey Abrams, Oprah targeted by racist robocall funded by white supremacist group

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Oprah Winfrey were targeted in a racist robocall to Georgia voters on Friday.

The robocall was apparently funded by TheRoadToPower.com, a video podcasting site that has been called white supremacist and anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League. The robocall is apparently being funded by the same white supremacist group that targeted Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum earlier this month, the Daily Beast reported.

A voice in the call pretends to be Oprah, the legendary talk-show host who stumped for Abrams in Georgia earlier this week.

"This is the magical negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow negress, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia," the call begins, according to recordings.

"Years ago, the Jews who own the American media saw something in me - the ability to trick dumb white women into thinking I was like them," the voice continues. "I see that same potential in Stacey Abrams."

The robocall compares Abrams to a "poor man's Aunt Jemimah" who "white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones."

Abrams's opponent, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, in an emailed statement to The Hill, called the robocall "vile," "racist" and "absolutely disgusting."

"I stand against any person or organization that peddles this type of unbridled hate and unapologetic bigotry," he said.

and one particularly intelligent post comments section

Here come the dem racebaiting claims...right on time.
Sorry lefties...no one believes you anymore.
The party that cries wolf....every hour on the hour.

Killer was right wing 'incel' who posted anti-women, racist stuff... He should have just 'grab them by the pvssy' like the president said, and lied about being rich, like the president does!

[spambot]

Yep.

[Aeson]

I doubt it’s intended as an excuse. Probably just a means of pointing out our claimed moral authority is a load of hogwash.

Trump is his own basket of dispicableness but I hold the murderers responsible for their murders. This is the equivalent of the third grade excuse that the dog ate their homework. They pulled the trigger and they are responsible for their actions.

trying to deflect after they have been caught is so lame.

[spambot]

That honestly sounds like a very weak excuse from people who can't take responsibility for their own actions.

Who, Trump?

[Uncle Sparky]

Despots have been doing this forever. Trump is not an innovator...
