re: White House caught in more alternative facts

It wont matter. They don't care about facts. The first thought that came to my head when I saw the press conf was "They are crediting existing construction to a bill that was passed yesterday? That makes no sense."
It also turns out that the cyclone fence that they pointed out wasn't the actual existing border fence. It was a temporary fence put up during construction.
Propaganda used to work better.
The truth is too easy to get to these days.

Or straight up lies.
So Spicer amd Mulvaney or however you spell it, angrily point at pictures of parts of a wall, or replacement wall being built at the Mexico/New Mexico border. They say Trump is building these and there is money in his budget so he can keep his promises. In truth those replacement and repair projects were not only approved under the Bush and Obama administration, but they actually, and more importantly, started before Trump even became president.
This is so minor compared to the lies that Obama and his people told us, and truth be told Trump himself has told much bigger lies , that it really isn't even worth discussing. I mean seriously, who gives one rat's arse about this?
Yall are truly gonna burn yourselves out before the end of the year at this pace, not every comment from the WH is cause for such outrage.

So Trump's physically doing actual work that the previous two didn't? I don't see a problem here.

I don't think the person has a point to make Seldom. I think he found an article and thought.. "I can show those Trump So and Sos... "
Yet... Wall being built. New area being built.
Not sure where his "I got them now" moment is.

Do you masturbate while you troll?
What's your gain from all of this trolling?

The pics were taken from Mexico and they are old. The hole in the fence in the pics have already been fixed. The chain link fence that is in the pic is for construction equipment.
How does Spicer have any credibility?

Who is outraged. Pointing out propaganda from the White House is too easy to get burned out.

You and I have had productive honest debates.
Let's do it with this topic. You start. What's the problem as you see it?
Posted on 5/4/17 at 12:27 pm to LSUTANGERINE
We need to keep moving the goal posts. If they say these things his voters will eat it up and believe it, and therefore to Trump he thinks he is keeping his promises.
Went from:
1. Build the wall and Mexico pays for it.
2. Build the wall but with trade tariffs.
3. I'll add the funds to build the wall I to the budget.
4. I will fix the wall.
5. Look we built the wall that was already approved under Obama.

So fricking what???????
Where do you thing the fricking pictures came from? They were not photoshopped or CGI. Mulvaney and Kelly both said they were existing improvements and the $$$ would be used to make more.
Your ceaseless quest for a "gotcha" makes you look foolish.
