If y’all wanna stop frothing temporarily here’s the straight poop on how she will save the country.
Turns out we’re only talking about 16,000 people and that in the big scheme of things it don’t
amount to that much money, but it is a good attention getter. Tackling fiscal propriety and
Pentagon waste isn’t as flashy but it would be immensly more meaningful.

All true Reilly, but the fact remains that if you’re going to talk about “waste,” you must address incels.

So, Jody...if Trump declares a 'National Emergency' to build his wall, you will be good with that?
In spite of the loud, raucous ranting from the Right when Obama used his Executive powers for similar purposes?
Or is this somehow....different....this time?

Funny how elastic the principles are of those on the right regarding Executive Power, depending on who is in the WH at the time.
Well we’ll likely find out just where some of those lines lie when this issue gets to the courts... and the SC, in particular. Of course, everything should be just fine, since that’s what Trump paid for with Kavanaugh.
The knife cuts both ways...can’t wait to see the Dems swing that blade!

I think the basic problem of a "wall" is the fallacy of it's effectiveness without also calculating the much more massive cost of patrolling it 365dx24h and having the excess capacity to put men with rifles anywhere within 15 minutes along something over 1000 miles long. Also have to factor in rebuilding destroyed/compromised sections, finding tunnels, etc...
It would seem to me that removing all entitlements to come here illegally and ending the failed war on drugs would be the only effective option. Start a war on Drug-Use. Decriminalizing all drugs and applying that money towards education and rehabilitation programs for people who want to quit. Allowing people who abuse drugs and don't want to quit to wither and die is part of that. You'd kill the cartel financing overnight. Let Phillip Morris and Anheuser-Busch spin up more stateside poison factories, legally. Treat it like poison with clear warnings and no advertising or marketing allowed but controlled enough so that dosages are known and the products are a known quality.
Or keep failing at what we've been doing for 50+ years...

Trump is trying to take native Texans' land from them via eminent domain to build his wall...Hopefully the Bundy posse is mounting up and on their way for another armed stand off with the federalis...

Nice post, Biotch - that spew from Hunter Avallone was only tolerable for about 25 seconds.

Hang on tight folks, it’s about to get quite bumpy in the next two months.
Rosenstein says he leaving in the next few months, but he has said not before the mueller investigation is wrapped up. So, the investigation, which Giuliani expects will be “horrific,” should be ready by spring. Even if it is not released immediately, congress would likely subpoena it, and there is case law backing congress’ ability to do this.
Meanwhile, Dems are gunning for small dick’s taxes. Trump’s legal team vows to fight, but Mnuchin says he would comply with a subpoena for them. And as already mentioned, Cohen will testify publicly next month before congress in a few weeks.
Serious impeachment discussions will likely be coming soon. A political sh#t storm greater than or equal to watergate, and unlike any other of our lives, is imminent.

Except for the "shitstorm" will be about how they whole investigation has nothing on Trump and will be about the corruption of the Dems and the COLLUSION between Hillary, The Obama administration, and the DOJ/FBI. haha hajust delusional
but
no removal
penishead would blanket pardon everyone & He & his wife would then run and get in.
play chess, Jody?
this is how our great democracy that was sold off to China decades ago, dies.
As you whites try to hang on,
if you all want a wall pony up buy all the land,
get that? you can not just take it
You, not We or the taxpayers or the border landowners, should have to pay.
TuRdddd said Mexico WILL pay Will Pay Cash as part of the deal, That was A written plan....not just his lying
This is like it was after the "Civil War" If It mirrors slavery it will be 100-year war
never-ending & brutal
Brutal.to women, no education for children& all colors will have to die
Mongrel nations will be all that arises, 'cept russia
