good points..and we are 100% in agreement on the bolded.

agreed, but no one had done it this degree. I was half jokingly trying to make the point though that if he does it tonight..with the whole country watching, and cheat sheets put out, and Dems saying he will use lie and mistruths, and some pundits saying they should air later to have time to fact check(admittedly they are idiots)......if he does it in the face of all that.......his intelligence level and fitness for office has to be questioned no?

I don't agree that just because he was elected he is beyond reproach. If the dude uses false numbers and narratives tonight, the 25th should be immediately invoked( i think I have that correct). My disdain for the man has nothing to do with him being anti establisjhment..it is his moral compass You, i have never thought of it that way...another reason to use the Article?

But if Trump uses false numbers and false narratives..am I then able to say he does not care for the wall, just the win? Cause if it is truly a national emergency, no inflation or embellishments are needed correct? But even I don't think Trump is dumb enough to use wrong or misleading stats tonight..and I think the guy is pretty dumb if he does..will you agree maybe the dude ain't smart enough to be POTUS?

here is your cheat sheet for tonight https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/01/08/your-fact-checking-cheat-sheet-trumps-immigration-address/?utm_term=.a9915985d0b8

None for me yet @The Poojer , maybe it is targeting the most gullible amongst us?

Far from being argumentative or a dick, this is the stuff I think makes this forum fun and informative. Now to be argumentative.... The WAPO link above is bylined by Ivanka...just saying.( I am encouraged you used as reference a WAPO opinion piece, however!) Having said that, the article references the Trafficking in Persons report, and what the Trump Administration is doing to combat Tier 3 countries. All good work and we hope has desired effects. But Mexico is not on that list as a Tier 3 , so do not see how that relates to a National Emergency on the Southern Border.,,hence no table set except for folks who will accept everything Trump says at face value. Again, no mention of a National Emergency at the southern border till a few days ago in the midst of this political fight.

No, if I am going to a Bills game, I state that. Now, I play up the fact I am 56...they don't have to know I am an idiot 56, or that I may have several nephews with me who are 25...

Such a silly statement. Be a grown up and tell me who is the arbiter of THE truth as you mentioned in your post.

and i know that is your stance, and I 100% believe that is a cause you believe in with great conviction..no arguments there 100%. My argument is that EO and the current government shutdown have no relation to each other. That EO pertained directly to folks and organizations leading human trafficking organizations from abroad and had nothing to do with trafficking at the southern border. You prolly noticed I liked the post, and I thanked you for posting that as I was not aware of that Executive order. I do not deny that Trump wants to stop trafficking, but to use this EO and link it to a possible EO for this fight I do not think is correct

and who is the arbiter of said truth? You? You say you reject the notion of listening to new ideas that you think are bad..so in other words you are saying MY truth... to me, THE truth is prolly 180 degrees from your truth..but i guess you will say yours is THE truth. THX, needed the chuckle

*****..do you and @LeviF91 every bring your own stuff ..or do you just plan to mooch at all tailgates!!!!

Only thing that sucks on AIRBNB is no points...man i spend a fortune with them during football season. Couple of things I have learned 1) No reason not to negotiate, lord knows I do every time. I always start out by praising the place and pictures, reviews are great etc..and then politely say" no worries if not doable, but while I love your place my budget is right around X amount of $$ all in. Again, I know your place is worth more, but might you have some flexibility? Helps if you have a solid reputation on Airbnb, and folks know you will treat their place with respect. I ask every time, and almost all the time get a better price. 2) If I am looking for a weekend or even one night.. I might put in 4 nights in search items if nothing comes up I like. Might find some places with 3 or 4-night minimums not booked, and again politely ping these folks and ask if they will do less. Also, helps if you are 3 weeks or less out from your arrival date I also find in both cases if you say something that makes you sound old and boring and the reason for your trip, folks are more likely to negotiate. Coming into town for business, coming for my niece's wedding, coming to visit college classmates from 20 years ago...that kind of stuff. Not doing a boys weekend for a Bills game!!

great , let's do everything we can to keep those individuals listed in this Executive Order out of the country..all 13 of them listed in the EO!!! And man those guys from Gambia and Russia crossing on the Southern border! Cmon dude, this EA has nothing to do with the "crisis at the southern border" or why Pence keeps pushing the false 17,000 criminals apprehended at the southern border, or Sanders pushing the 4000 terrorists apprehended at the southern border narrative. I sure hope Trump can stick to facts tonight..it will help his case. If he gets his teeth kicked in in the 12 hours post speech with mistruths and exacerbations, this government could be closed for a long long time

^^^^^ thats a good thing right @B-Man ?

yes..how many press conferences has this dude had in two years??? Reporters could press him on his statements/ rhetoric, would make s huge difference if he committed to a 30-minute speech/ 30 minute question period.

i get the bed thing...took me a long time to find a king size bed in Rome..just used to it!

I agree, but this is different ( as is everything in the Trump era)Two weeks ago, this was not a national emergency/crisis. Now it is according to one side. Why no urgency or national emergency before this became a political game? He is in office nearly two years..are you telling me this suddenly became a national emergency to him..or is it a crucial political battle and as POTUS the networks are expected to carry his water? Is a network obligated to carry his political message? If Trump wants an Oval office message every Sunday night at 9 EST, are the networks obligated to carry it? If it is so critical, why will he not answer questions from reporters?

Then he should act like a POTUS ..he is not afforded the same respect and treatment as other POTUSes( is that correct grammar?) as his actions and statements do not warrant it. There is a point where a lie is a lie is a lie, and he needs to deal with the consequences of his words and actions when it comes to how he his dealt with from the media and the American public.

trust me this concern has been expressed by yours truly to internal people at OBD. I really was pissed off they couched discounted Jets tickets as some kind of grand gesture to charities...

I have used VRBO since the early aughts, and AIRBNB since 2014. Both are great. There are filters on Airbnb for entire homes, not shared. That is all I have ever done, have never just rented a room In terms of the fees, it is a pain in da ass that there is no filter on Airbnb to include all fees. The biggest variable is cleaning fees..can be $25 a night at one place, and $75 at a similar place.You are always shown the fees before you book, but still would be much better if there was a filter option that would show all inclusive prices..like StubHub does now. In terms of cancellations, Airbnb places usually have a fairly easy process, but you almost 100% of the time forfeit the Airbnb fees..prolly is 100% of the time. Just look in the listing will say easy cancellation, moderate cancellation..ot hard cancellation. All i will say is in Rome this past summer, we could have stayed in a hotel with no balcony and about 400SQ ft for $750 a night, or stayed right across the street with an awesome balcony, washer dryer, full kitchen, 1000 SQ ft for $350 a night. No clean sheets and towels every night, had to carry own luggage etc..but saving $400 a night a no brainer for a better place. for you @Limeaid , i would make damn sure what the steps are to the place. Prolly not even close to Rome, but 80% of those places had 2-5 stories of stairs to navigate, I assume that's a non-starter for you. You can always ping the owner to confirm

why is that sentiment wrong?
