I'm only going to assume Trump doesn't want a hand-me-down.

Also gag 2: it's not obsolete until it is removed. Also, most are still funded - just ignored.

Without reading the previous legislation, I can't really respond to that comment. (Related fun fact and addendum, the specifics about who actually writes and reads legislation don't get discussed until college or except in a really good high school class.) If he uses it, he still has to have sufficient funding restored, which opens up the can of worms during that agonizing process in Washington. We're also assuming Trump read the summary or got briefed on the act you pointed out. Something tells me he prefers to go on Twitter.

Also, I didn't mean to equate obsolete with unfunded, but just point out that a lot of legislation on the books can enter a gray zone if it gets zeroed-out or ignored by the government of the day. Fun fun fun!

I'm gagging too.
 
This is awesome, nothing like taxpayer money going to building a fucking wall while people dying from lack of healthcare and Veterans getting ignored like usual. What is this Nazi Germany?

"Hey Mexico, can I talk to you for a second? The neo nazis is trippin' man. They want me to ask you about paying for that wall. You know I wouldn't trip...
"What wall?"
"The bigly wall? The one I built and you were supposed to pay me back for? The one I been asking about?
"Oh, that wall? I didn't know you wanted me to pay for it, homie? The money's right over here, follow me..."
"Yeah it'll be like it's both our walls, we'll just tell people you paid for it...?

He cannot just order that this wall be built and direct federal funds to make it happen

Building a wall through executive order will be a gross overreach of executive power.

I don't think you understand what the US's position is in. We cannot do anything, everything has ended up in the Republican's favor. All we can do is sit and watch. And wait.
 
He's going to build a nice big wall in one area, and then the other 70% of the border will have either a dingy chain link fence or no wall at all.
 
This is one of his worst ideas. Waste of money and energy, there'll just be taller ladders or holes being made as usual. Smugglers also have multiple ways to get people through.

That's how this works. The southern border keeps out brown people!

Obviously sarcasm.

Oh I get you, man.

I edited my previous post for more insight. I'm pretty pissed like a lot of people are over Trump but for different reasons. I'm ready to eat my own over how lulled into complacency everyone is. The air cleared for like a week after the general but people quickly fell back in their bubbles ignoring reality.

It's less about being taught specifics in school and more about being taught how to pay attention, critical thinking, thinking outside the box (vs pressing up against the outside for comfort), etc.

This is all easily researchable. Dots are easy to line up and while difficult to connect, you can see the picture they CAN form.

Basically living in reality. Many choose to not believe something bad can or will happen. But here the fuck we are.

Every time I see a Trump thread I am reminded of how people who spoke up like me were dismissed outright for thinking Trump even had a chance. Really saddens me to see these threads not because I was right - but because it's obvious people have learned nothing.

Anyhow, I'm majorly OT.

Site me an example in which Obama used executive power to move forward with an order of this magnitude without precedent

Or an occasion in which Obama used the clearly defined rights of executive power where Republicans didn't challenge it and bring him to court
 
In this day and age a wall makes no sense. Just get UAVs to patrol the border at fraction of the cost and have rapid response teams on standby - far more effective. Incredible waste of taxypayer money.

What I'm saying is that Republicans fall in line. Regardless of what the President is doing.

You won't see pushback on this unless it undermines Republican values.

Basically, Trump has to turn into a Democrat while in office.

I think Trump's trade protectionist policies are completely against GOP values.

He obviously didn't win due to smarts, lol. He is a blustering bully whose emotional appeals happened to be the right message for the desperate deluded (and bigoted!) masses.
 
He is crazy if he thinks Mexico will pay for it. Last year the approval rating of the Mexican president was 30%. Currently I would bet it's 15% if not lower.

If he agrees to pay for the wall, he may as well be signing his resignation.
 
Isn't he meeting Peña Nieto next week or sometime soon? lolololol


Schadenfreude aside I'm really worried for the kind of retaliations he will start in order to "convince" Mexico to pay for the wall. Trade war incoming.

Hey, us White people need to stay safe.

Besides, we all know this wall is to really keep the rest of us in.
 
Decriminalize drugs and there's almost no need for a wall.

Also, the wall (fence) that we have in place is easily bypassed.. also you'd be putting a huge portion of it on private land.

It's funny the stories of people that have houses in the USA on the OTHER wise of the fence.

Or a good portion of their property blocked by a border fence.

The cost of the wall would be insane, and would do shit to stop immigration or drugs coming in.

I'm sure they have come to some agreement. Trump wouldn't announce it if they haven't

You owe me a new keyboard

At this rate we are going to burn through all the dumb shit trump said he would do, get rebuffed, and have trump impeached by May.

Hey rust belt! found your jobs I guess

Do you seriously think he was "smart"? Smart is not a word I would use to describe his campaigning. I'll give you one example, he's worried about the wall to stop "drugs and rapists" from coming in, but fails to realize that people don't really bring in drugs by literally crossing over to the border. They focus on distribution pathways (which is why you see customs/border security dealing with suspicious packages coming into US land loaded with drugs).

Just goes to show you how empty-minded he is in dealing with problems like drugs.
