$40 billion, for a sixteen hundred kilometer concrete sculpture in the middle of nowhere; that's derp.Martin Hash wrote:People don't get elected promising to build more freeways.Smitty-48 wrote:$40 billion "infrastructure" program, spent on concrete slabs in the middle of the desert?

Illegal border crossings are down 80% since 2015, 1.5 million down to 300,000, and that didn't cost you a dime, but now you're going to spend $40 billion, on half a wall, that doesn't even seal the border?
Just enforce the immigration laws, prosecute businesses which hire illegals, deport illegals where you find them, spending $40 billion on concrete slabs just to sit in the desert collecting grafitti, is Insane Clown Nation.

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
R U confusing The Wall with something rational?
Here, let me explain it:
Sanctimonious, pompous assholes say it can't be done. Fuck them.
Now, I know you grew up in totally logical Canada, but here in the ol' U.S., we hold grudges.

Honestly, I really want to go beat up protestors
Is this getting into Brownshirt territory?
As a man in his mid to late 30s with a family should I not even engage these fagatrons?

Re: THE ERA OF TRUMP
I don't think anyone doubts that it "can be done". I also don't think anyone with a brain wants it done. This is going to be Trumps Achilles heel.
He's already walked back his stance on NATO from "useless alliance" to '100% behind it' as he gets educated on what the fuck he's talking about.
It will be fun to watch him waffle on this when congress refuses to fund it. The reaction will probably be a further division of the country, as the WalMart brigade loses their minds, and the conservatives try to appease them.
I predict that we get a wave of racial violence from Y'all Qaeda, now that they've been enabled for a year or two, believing that they weren't the Stupid ones for a change. Then a long period of depression and drug abuse, as they realize that their paradigm is dead.
It's really the beginning of the end for hillbilly culture, but it will take time. On the upside, maybe country music gets good again.
