Haven't been following it all that closely, but I'm sure our resident Drumpfenfűhrer loyalists will assure the rest of us that, like the emperor's new clothes, it's there, all right, complete and entire and immigrant-proof within a year of His election, just as He promised, and Mexico's already made the first payments. You just have to have faith in order to see it.
No, trump meant he was going to watch pink Floyd's the wall with some Mexicans. Yeah that's it. Look at you thinking someone could build a wall that big. You would have to be a fucking moron to believe that.
well you can ask that question for pretty much everything. gorsuch and a tax reform for the 1 percent will probably be his only legacy before this dark chapter ends in a whimper.
The existing fence is doing such a great job that during an MSNBC interview about the wall prototypes, 3 illegals literally jumped the existing border fence mid interview: Link
It must gall you that Trump is delivering on so many promises, after the disappointing Obama failed on so much. I haven't seen much positive stuff said here about Trump regarding anything but his policies, but you keep fighting your imagined boogieman, if it's a comfort. I don't know who the Trump fans are that left keep strawmanning to score meaningless points about. Although it is still entertaining.
Personally I don't care about the 'wall' from an immigration perspective but don't mind the idea from a security perspective. Future bombers will seek the course of least resistance to murder us. Probably will end up being a wall in part metaphorically with things like sensor-technology or drones for long stretches. Since congress will never pass an opportunity to spend you can bet your sagging ass we will see "infrastructure" bill that includes parts of an actual wall. Trump's base will probably judge his overall record on immigration reform, in contrast to pretty much every lying politician in the past that's made promises.
Ah, so it's Congress's fault. Nothing to do with the fact that the prototypes are risible. As spins go, that was predictable.
Took you three posts instead of the usual one to default to your "I got no argument, so I'll cuss at you" position. You've shown remarkable restraint.
makes sense! And what could be more neighborly than a cute white picket fence? Hell a group of Boy/Girl Scouts could throw it up over a weekend for a group project! Wait - maybe a western theme would be more appropriate - how about a split-rail fence? There's some rustic charm right there.
Yeah, I hear the tech is there. I'd suspect they can't have interdiction teams chasing down false alarms triggered by birds, etc. [Though I think the more common term used by fart sniffers and snobs is "virtual" wall.]
In general quite true, but re: you, my goodness would probably be viewed as 'tough love' since the main thing I expect from government is opportunity for all Americans (except the infirm) to have jobs and be encouraged to work, and those already working to have better jobs, and for everyone to be better off than 'yesterday.'
