Furthermore, people in the know say that the wall will cost $25 billion, and even Chiselin’ Trump (a person not in the know) says that it will cost at least $10 billion.
I get the impression that Rush went with the Trump flow rather than really actively initiated it. He saw the direction right-wing nuttery was trending and decided not to be left behind. I could see him personally not really loving Trump and vice-versa though.
That’s it Rush - keep telling your audience that Trump is weak.
That’s exactly what it will take to turn them against him. Please keep it up, you fat bag of putrid gas.
If you’ve ever had a construction project on your house, you know how it goes. They call it “cost overruns” or something, but the project NEVER comes in at the original estimate even if in this case it’s billions.
It’s caused the desired behavior in Trump, who is now flip flopping again and making his empty boasts about building a wall…“sometime”. Everyone knows, including Limbaugh, that it ain’t happening. But folks like Rush see it as good political rhetoric, and don’t want him to give it up, or be perceived of taking a stance that makes it unbelievable to his idiot base. Basically the ideal situation from Rush’s POV is for Trump to make lots of noise, and then grumble, sign the bill without any funding, and then go right back to making lots of noise. Pure theater in other words.
And that is very likely what will happen. A lot of interest has been on how GOP Congress critters distances themselves from Trump ahead of 2018, but the opposite is just as likely (if not more likely) to occur. Trump will want to create distance by blaming Congress for not working hard enough, supporting him, blah blah blah…so they become the scape goat for his failures. After all, they are going down anyway, so why not lay the blame on them? This particular situation is a perfect example of this.
I understand that there are enough Democrats in the Senate to sustain a filibuster, if necessary.
Who cares what this fat lying fker thinks? First off, it’s THREE measly billion…second of all, NOBODY WANTS THE DAMN THING so why is it ‘caving’? Because the promise was STUPID to start with?

Trump’s “wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border would be a series of fences and walls that would cost as much as $21.6 billion, and take more than three years to construct, based on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security internal report seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The report’s estimated price-tag is much higher than a $12-billion figure cited by Trump in his campaign and estimates as high as $15 billion from Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
But it’s all just blah blah blah right now, just a prolonged stop on the campaign promises trail which is also his administration
My impression during the election Rush played the field. I stopped listening when Trump won. Couldn’t bear the gloating.
I’ll believe the Drugster has not lost his edge when he makes Trumpsky apologize to him. Otherwise, he’s in the dumpster with O’Reilly.
I have this vision of Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones together by Rush’s pool. Both dressed in SPEEDO thong trunks, smokin’ Cuban stogies, swiggin’ Burgermeister Tallboys, and talking about how they would like to make a Melania Sandwich. And thinking she would enjoy it.
Republicans didn’t think $1 billion was “measly” when Obama requested that much for Zika. It took them a year to find it.
Only when he takes the blue pill. And no, that is NOT a Matrix reference.
Once again you worthless, disgusting pustule pretending to be a person…
The first, last, and only response to you and Trump’s stupid wall is “you want a single penny towards the wall, get your chief Cheeto to get it from Mexico”.
Not a single American dime for your stupid, worthless ineffectual wall.
Ever.
Trump’s ascendency has coincided with Limbaugh’s diminished relevancy. Is this a laugh or cry situation?
Not to mention creating a very large shovel-ready job for the wellies-and-moonsuit workers.
Change orders. A poorly planned, hastily published, low bid job like the wall is a gold mine for a certain kind of contractor.
Who gives a rat’s ass what that fat fuck thinks?
Rush will be dead when they pry the underage Central American boy from his cold clammy hands.
Can they build a wall that keeps Rush and his carry-on full of Oxys and Viagra pills from penetrating South of the border?
This is just preparing the base for the inevitable. Trump will get tax cuts for the rich in the deal, drop some more bombs on brown people, and Rush will be lauding his genius soon enough. I am sure the Demonrat party and Obama’s well placed provocateurs in the government will get the blame. And the moronic GOP base who still listens to this Jabba the Hutt level of gross mother-fucker will believe him.
