If Mexico is going to pay for the wall, why does Trump need money from Congress?

[Martin Hash]

Probably because nobody believes it would only be $5 billion.

Cross that road when we come to it.

SOP for the government.

This isn't about money and you know it: if Trump caves, he loses a second term; and if the Dems cave, his second term is locked in.

Democrats have never been so fiscally conservative in their lives.

democrats will cave, trump's terms for his BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL have fallen so far that it's almost asinine to oppose it



my own local new congresswoman was on CNN today talking about supporting a barrier, she won in a long held republican county last november https://youtu.be/zNL52hgtTRM

Lucky you.
San Diego got the shaft because they said walls worked.

San Diego TV station: CNN declined our 'local view' because of reports on wall effectiveness
A San Diego television station on Thursday said that CNN had asked for a "local view" and then "declined to hear from us" after past reports from the station showed that a border wall was effective.

A CNN spokesperson pushed back on KUSI's claim on Friday, calling it a "non story" since the network ultimately didn't book any reporters from stations in the San Diego area. ...

Another turn of the wheel.
NPCs know a wall doesn't work because if it did it would be on the news.
... and the news makes sure the NPCs never know a wall works.

"We finally talked Orange Man into our long-standing barrier plan; backed him right down."

Enforce current employment laws.

We should be doing more of that as well. Still need the wall, or we'll just have more unemployed illegals here for the gibs.

Everyone knows walls don't work.

At least a decade of warnings about the seawall around New Orleans, but heck why bother improving that, making it taller, etc? Walls don't work, and it's a waste of money. -- WTF, HOW BIG A STORM? Seawall breached cost HOW MANY LIVES? Cost HOW MUCH MONEY?? HOW MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGE? Well fuck, who could've seen that coming?

At least a decade of warnings about the seawall at Fukushima being inadequate for a tsunami from a close/severe earthquake. Yeah, yeah, so we're on the "ring of fire", but c'mon how likely is that? And besides, everyone knows walls don't work and it'd be expensive, might cost a $billion, and it's just not worth it. -- WTF, HOW BIG AN EARTHQUAKE? HOW BiG A TSUNAMI? Seawall breached cost HOW MANY LIVES? Cost HOW MUCH MONEY?? Potentially $trillions?? Contaminated how much land area? Potentially will lead to how many new cancer cases? Well fuck, who could've seen that coming?

Yeah, ok, maybe after the fact it would've saved a lot of headaches and a crap-ton of money in the long term to have spent what looking back on it was relatively peanuts in the first place... But everyone knows that walls don't work.

Democrats have never been so fiscally conservative in their lives.

Republicans want to sign a blank cheque and give it to Trump for a massive government make-work scheme just so he has a chance of re-election.

No wonder American politics are so fucked up. Neither side can stick to a principle for more than 5 minutes.

[DBTrek]

If it’s a blank check why are you and Jedi so obsessed with talking about $5billion?

Oops.
