Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Enemy of the people sounds about right.

Seriously, how is a large portion of the US Media any different then the old Soviet Union's Pravda? Journalism is dead and they are now pushing nothing but propaganda.

    President Trump spent Thursday in McAllen, Texas attempting to make his case for a border wall, but members of the Texas Border Coalition — including McAllen’s mayor — say an investment in a wall is the wrong choice.

    On Thursday, Trump hosted a roundtable at a McAllen Border Patrol station with Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, local law enforcement officers and local officials including McAllen Mayor Jim Darling. Displayed in front of the President was a table filled with seized contraband, which included over $300,0000 in cash, “gold-plated and diamond encrusted” machine guns and large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents pointed out all of the items were spotted or apprehended at various legal ports of entry and checkpoints, including Laredo POE.

    CBP officers also showed Trump blown-up photos of tunnels that were dug to get guns and drugs across the border. Neither border patrol agents nor President Trump explained how a border wall would help stop the flow of drugs through tunnels and legal ports of entry.

    McAllen Mayor Jim Darling, who is not affiliated with a political party, tells TIME that even if it was not Trump’s intention, the roundtable appeared to make the case for increased funding at legal ports of entry instead of the wall.

    Stop interjecting facts about the border wall on this thread about liberal bias in the media.

    Btw, notice how neither of them actually addresses the content that started the thread? That's not an accident. There are no talking points to cover this, so they have to rely on other talking points that don't even address the issue.

    What is there to say? The media is fucking awful. I didn't watch the video. The difference is, you think your news source is honest, fair and balanced.

    I'm no security tech guru, but don't we have the ability to detect tunnels through infrared scanning or something? If there was a wall, is it possible to utilize that technology throughout to better help search and destroy these entry points? Am I racist for asking this question?

    The population of McAllen, TX is 85.2% Hispanic, 10.6% White, and 2.85% Asian. 78.7% of the people in McAllen, TX speak a non-English language, and 82.5% are U.S. citizens.

    McAllen is largest town in Hidalgo County, Texas a county which voted for Hillary 68.6% to Trump's 28%. I'm shocked the mayor of this town would be opposed to Trump's wall.

    Since you didn't give this "Context" Insincere this makes you a liar correct?
