    Not sure JF, I still remember the Iodine treatment theory.

    A hurricane releases the energy of a Hiroshima atomic bomb every second.

    Was it a dumb thing for POTUS to suggest? Of course it was. Was it the dumbest thing the man ever said? We can debate that.

    Provide your source that Trump asked if a nuclear bomb could disrupt a hurricane.

    Also please show the pro’s and con’s of dropping a bomb to dislodge the path of an oncoming hurricane. I would prefer a risk based analysis that shows lives and property saved / lost in either case. Thanks!

    For 60 years theories about detonating bombs including nukes to disrupt huricanes have been floated.
    In the late 1800s even the Weather Service considered whether TNT could disrupt a tornado .There answer to all is no.
    But it is not surprising Trump might ask. It comes up every year.

    It's not an actual issue at all. It's just more talking head, meaningless chatter designed to soak up air time on CNN etc., so they don't have to examine anything of actual merit.

    I have yet to see the video of Trump actually saying anything about nuking hurricanes. That's because CNN et al use the tried and true anonymous source BS. And, naturally, they don't challenge it.

    Funny how the media and left loathe anyone associated with Trump....until they supposedly, or in fact do, say ANYTHING negative about him. Suddenly they are the most credible people in Washington.

    Please tell me you are smart enough to recognize that nothing in the CBP statement says it was new walls where none previously existed. I just got a "new" paint job on my house. Does that mean there was not paint there previously?

    I have no problem with replacement walls. This is all part of longterm maintenance of our border in high traffic areas, particularly where 2 cities are separated at the border.

    A 3000-mile border wall was ludicrous when it was first suggested and continues to be ludicrous today.

    Husker are you smart enough to see there was no wall there?

    He had to go back a page to find that post I made about new walls and I didn't even mention him by name when I said there were posters who said there had been no NEW walls.

    The worst part of it is that he talks down to us (like he did to you above) and he usually doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

    Liberals blame all the other countries of the world's problems on US policy, so, therefore, that is why we should allow anyone to come in by any means necessary.

    More proof that politicians spend money on what they want to regardless of where the law or budget says it should go. Remember that the next time a politician asks for a bond or new tax for the purpose of paying for X. The point is to get more of your money, nothing else.

    Reread that second tweet. Did the "new wall" replace an existing barrier? Again, does a "new paint job" mean no paint existed previously?

    I'll expect my refund from Mexico any day.

    Incidentally, I'll give Garmel a freebee and offer up to him...

    Lie #1: "Mexico will pay for the wall."

    Instead Trump is stealing $3.6B from the military. Remind us all how much Trump cares for the military again?

    WTF? Trying to get something done and not accomplishing it is not a lie. Besides, in the end we stay still get remittances. Who knows? 3.6 billion isn't much money compared to the overall military budget. LOL! I think TDS is destroying your brain cells.
