What, they haven't built the wall yet?

[Maacoshark]

Ummmmm   

   OK you are a little further away.

different border, and no. The liberal democrats(read socialist) have not given the funding to enforce our border, yet have voted in the recient budget to send multi millions to several other countries so they can enforce theirs.

Don Cherry is a fukin idiot

A load of us donated bricks to "The Last Leg", to help Canada build a wall once Trump was voted in.........

I used to do that back in the `80s.  Great fun! Huge rush!  Dangerous as hell.  I had a crazy instructor that pushed way faster than he should have.  My third jump was freefall. By the time I had 15 jumps in my log I nearly died 3 times.  On the day of my first jump we were watching the  instructor with the open hanger door behind him. We saw an experienced skydiver hit the ground not 15-20 feet outside the hanger door simultaneously as his parachute. He fractured his back in a few places and was hauled out in an ambulance. He was experienced with 2000 jumps.  Then one of the students in my class jumped and refused to follow directions or make a single turn. She disappeared on the horizon and ended up in a tree. Had to be rescued by fire department. She almost hit a power line too.  At 20 jumps I decided the risk was too high.  I did get to fly the Ferrari of parachutes once. It had a forward speed of 35 mph and could turn on a dime. I jumped it in very high winds, roughly 35-40 mph (wind picked up after we went up) The airport was going by at lightning speed as i approached, then I made a 180° turn and I was struggling to get back to the airport. Then as I reached the airport the wind gusted and I was flying backwards even with the fast canopy.  i ended up landing in a ditch going backwards.  Not dangerous, quite funny actually.  One time I was freefalling and had packed my own parachute. Turns out I packed it incorrectly and it opened MUCH too fast and I almost came completely out of the harness. i was barely hanging on by my elbows and the backs of my knees.  Had I fallen out of that harness I would have lost both my main and backup parachute.  That thing opened so hard I was sore for a week or two. Even my teeth hurt.  My socks rolled down to the tops of my sneakers. I packed it like they taught me for students that DO NOT freefall. They do not fall very fast. I was falling at 110mph and it was like hitting a wall when it opened.

Trump got plenty of money.  He will use some of it to build a wall. Obama had limitations on how certain moneys in the budget could be spent, but he ignored it and spent the money on what he wanted. Congress did not do a thing about it.  I think that is why Trump did not veto the omnibus bill. He will get what he wants. Besides, these is so much more going behind the scenes that will change the country and the world forever.  2018 will be an awesome year.

[Surreylily]

BTW, there was some money allocated to the wall, half of which was marked for maintenance of current wall, and if memory serves about $1.7 billion for the new wall.

ETA
OK, I just double checked. There is 1.6 billion allocated for the new wall.  $445 million to provide levee walls along the RIO Grande, $186 million for fencing in the same area, and another $400 million for repairs of existing walls.

Did you get permission from the Russians?

Did I accidentally trigger a snowflake?

[Surreylily]

Did I accidentally trigger a snowflake?

You mean accidentally on purpose?

And why should I "piss off"?

I came on here to talk hockey with other hockey fans and my Caps family.

[Surreylily]

I bet you don;t even feel guilty luv.

every time there is a major incident here the CIA, FBI, DOJ, local coppers et al have everything figured out within a month. Yet for well over 12 months now there has been zero evidence of Trump Russia collusion found. But yea, Trump worked with the Russians to win the election  .


This despite the fact that the Russians had Hillary in their back pocket

Interesting schedule this week.  The Pens, Flyers, and Jackets all have now played one more game than the Caps, and so it will remain throughout the week, with all three teams playing their next game a day [or more] before the Caps play their game in hand.  So it's as if, game by game, the Caps will be able to see what the other 3 teams are doing and know their situation before they take the ice.  If the Caps can win their next 3 games, at least two before the shootout, they can close out all the teams they are competing against for playoff spots except for Pittsburgh, before the last week of the season.
