Errr, is this the greatest flip-flop yet? Breaking News: Kamala Harris Used To Think Border Wall Was ‘Un-American.’ Now She Supports It.

[DigitalDrifter]

Here's Kumalla's gold medal!

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Then why did they build so many strategic sections of wall during their administrations?

Biden tried, but he couldn't stop the construction:

"When asked about the news on Oct. 5 that new border wall construction would indeed commence under his administration, Biden told reporters: “The border wall — the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get to them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. And in the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can’t stop that.”

“Yes, the President’s hands are tied,” Gabe Murphy, policy analyst at the budget watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, told us when we asked about Biden’s claim. He pointed us to an appropriations bill that was signed into law on Dec. 20, 2019, during the Trump administration, that “explicitly appropriated funding ‘for the construction of a barrier system along the southwest border.'”

The money for these sections of wall was in the bill Trump the private citizen tanked.

So much for negotiating.

They had a golden opportunity to negotiate with TRUMP! when he was pushing the wall, but decided instead to vilify him, mock him, and trash the very idea of a wall being built at all, hoping against hope they wouldn't have to backtrack, but confident their sycophantic followers (you know who you are) would do their best to help them get away with it.

Yep, they KNOW they are way behind in the polls or else she wouldn't change on this issue. First it was no tax on tips and now a border wall? Voters won't buy this, especially based on her past comments on the wall and her role dealing with the border.

The only walls she has supported is Walz as her running mate.

Vice President Kamala Harris has reversed her position on spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build a wall along the southern border, Axios reported Tuesday.

Harris is now in favor of building a wall after being attacked repeatedly by former President Donald Trump for presiding over an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration to the U.S. as the Biden administration’s unofficial “border czar,” according to Axios. Prior to her second run for the presidency, Harris had called the border wall “un-American,” a “stupid waste of money” and Trump’s “medieval vanity project.”

Harris now backs the bipartisan border bill proposed in February, which would require hundreds of millions of unspent public dollars to be spent on further construction of a border wall, according to Axios. The office of Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, one of the lawmakers who negotiated the bill, projected that the bill would spend $650 million on wall construction, a far cry from the $18 billion that Trump wanted for the border wall in 2018.

How does any sane person take her seriously?

Your opinion means zero. Worry about Canada.

Don't worry with the climate change threat we are supposed to be dead soon. Well, it was supposed to be 2022 or something but regardless, it's coming. So, wall or no wall, the climate is going to get us all!

You're an idiot.

Yes, in the short term, but in the long term, the boost in the economy raises tax revenues.

Raise taxes and tax revenue increases in the short term. People are unable to spend the extra money they were taxed, so the economy slows. Income decreases, thus tax revenues go back to previous levels or even lower, but people still have less money in their pockets. Democrats call for raising taxes again. It is a vicious cycle ultimately ending in the people having less money.

Lower taxes and tax revenue decreases in the short term. People spend the extra money they have in their pockets and the economy strengthens. Income increases, thus tax revenues increase and people have more money in their pockets. This is organic growth. This is how it is supposed to work.

Even people that do not pay federal income tax or people not affected by any tax hikes are negatively affected in the long run by higher taxes on the rest of us. In the short term, they may benefit from programs paid for by the tax hikes. That is the real problem. These are the people electing Democrats. They are short sighted “thinkers” who are only looking out for themselves in the here and now.

There is a balance for sure. Taxes are necessary, but if everyone had skin in the game, the tax burden wouldn’t be so heavy on the 50% of us who pay federal income taxes. We shouldn’t allow the 50% that don’t pay to make the decision to take our money.

You know Trickle Down Economics has been debunked a long time ago....

It keeps on getting reheated and served as fresh every few years but it is the same bullshit...

Taxes cuts overwhelming put money into richer peoples pockets, that is far less propencity to change spending habits when compared to a poorer person's pocket..

Want to boost the economy quickly, get the money to poor people not rich people...

Trickle Down was invented by a bunch of rich people that wanted to keep there money and don't care what happens to American Society (i.e. America)...

Tax Cuts like Trumps are about rich er people saying 'Me First' instead of 'America First'...

 

[CowboyTed]

Harris has been VP for years, and in charge of the border for years, why isn't the wall done and paid for?

Earlier post, she wasn't in charge of the boarder..

 

[shockedcanadian]

You're an idiot.

Better than flip flopping and gaslighting everyone.

I have no interest in playing make-believe.

Yes. He didn't want to keep building Trump's wall. He had to IAW the law.

Then he supported the bipartisan border bill that allotted monies for sections of wall to be built that private citizen Trump had killed.

Links post 28.

Why? Well, it's really quite simple. During the Obama/Biden Administration's first term, and at their administration's urging, Congress passed the Secure Fence Act of 2011. And during the Obama/Biden Administration, the U.S. Government built 650 miles of fencing, of the wall, between the U.S. And Mexico. To put this ugly fact into context, the Trump Administration has only built 400 miles of the wall so far. And you can be sure that part of Trump's reason for his eleventh-hour attempt to build more miles of wall is because he hates to think Obama was better at anything than he is.

Operation Gatekeeper, which was implemented by President Clinton, a Democrat, increased the number of unaccountable Border Patrol agents deployed on the ground and expanded the invasive Border Patrol checkpoints far from the actual border. It also built walls and other infrastructure where there had been none, and purposefully pushed migrants to dangerous crossing areas, resulting in the death and disappearance of thousands of people.

 

[CowboyTed]

Lol, she is the border czar dumbass. There has been a record breaking surge at our border. She wants millions of illegals in the United States. Trump was building the wall her and Biden stopped it. But thanks for proving you're an empty suit. You was against building it, before you're for it. All I can say is you're a sheep.

Already refuted with evidence on this Thread...

I pointed it out and then asked are ye still believing the RW Media Bubble..

Kamala Harris Wasn't the ‘Border Czar.’ Here’s What She Did

Harris focused on improving conditions in Central America's Northern Triangle and addressing root causes of migration

There is also PBS and BBC debunking this....

Gateway Pundit or Bretibart are not a news sources...

Nice deflection.

 

[CowboyTed]

He didn't say Mexico was going to cut a check for the wall, you disingenuous lying piece of SHIT.
YOU should be more worried about the foreigners taking over your OWN country, asshole.

Trump-O-Meter: | PolitiFact

www.politifact.com

"Mark my words," Donald Trump said when he launched his presidential campaign on June 16, 2015.

Trump had just promised to "build a great wall," on the U.S.-Mexico border, "very inexpensively."

"And I will have Mexico pay for that wall," he said.

There you have it... He said they would pay for it, I never reference a check, maybe a wire transfer..

But what we got was No Wall and Mexico keeping their money.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

She has always supported this bill.

This is not new.

“Let me be very clear: I'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances,”

 

[CowboyTed]

She is the border czar CONFIRMED by Congress, using the word "czar". But doesn't prevent Democrats from LYING their ass off.

Won't mind giving us that actual text from Congress then...

All the News Sources I have checked are saying you are full of shit.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Pretty dumb move by Harris.

At least you are honest enough to admit it, instead of trying to convince us that Kamalla has always been for walls and border security.

The democrats had a golden opportunity to negotiate with TRUMP! to get built the sections of the wall they thought were important to build but did not. Instead, they chose to mock, impugn, vilify, and in general denigrate the very IDEA that ANY wall should be built, hoping against hope they wouldn't have to backtrack, but knowing their silly sycophants (yes, you know who they are) would do everything in their very limited power to help them skate on it.

 

[marvin martian]

Yep, times have changed, she has voters to lie to.

Don't worry, if she wins a border wall will NOT be built so no need to fret.

Still, it's going to be fun to watch all the lefties here cheer for a big, beautiful border wall!

They did negotiate.

The rest of your story is neat.

 

[CowboyTed]

Now we know why she won't do interviews, she's LYING like a firehose.

She can do what fucking well likes and it is driving trump fucking crazy...

She wasn't doing interviews because she owns the news cycle without doing them...

Trump is getting desperate, doing more and more rash stuff to get on the newscycle....
