So now we have “alternative facts” and “different ways of defining”. These people are fucking insane, and there’s almost nothing we can do to stop this.

How does one say “Your’re lying Ryan” and " magical asterisk" in Spanish?

Far from being at odds with the agenda of a party allied with entrenched wealth, that populist style is the best way to lend that agenda mass appeal. We should stop seeing Trumpism as a challenge to the GOP and instead understand it as the party’s natural historical evolution.

Edit.

So, yes. “Ils sont Trump!”

My bet is they’ll just say Mexico paid for it. Then attack the dishonest media for writing that Mexico didn’t pay for it.

And where was the obvious follow up question to the “different ways of defining” which would have been: “Such as???” or “For Example???”

“Well, first off, we’re going to pay for it and front the money up,” Ryan said.

I see - it’s a kind of hat trick. They pay for it and then they hold their hands behind their backs and when they bring them out front again the money is gone but it says MEXICO across their open palms.

Either that or they will just give us all a pinata party and tell us Mexico paid for that.

That is the look of a man who has to explain to his rich donors why his party is making a wall to deny them cheap labor. The Reps really have brought it upon themselves with trying to juggle disparate demographics while the party keeps tearing itself apart in spite of the election win.

And according to another thread, the Rethugs are hoping to finish overhauling the tax code by August. No more deductions for the peons. Taxes will go up dramatically for the middle class, the safety net will be non existent for some and the wall will still be - a fence.

@aiddon You bring up a very good point. if getting to this country becomes really onerous, where does the labor come from for construction and agriculture?

O/T, but have you seen this?

Best line: “Imagine how lawmakers perceive him after a performance like that. Do they imagine he is unstable? Dishonest?”

All on day 5.
