Discussion: WH Has Reportedly Backed Down From Trump's Border Wall Funding Threat

In Trump’s dementia, apparently he got American taxpayers mixed up with Mexico again.

@darrtown The plan is to pass tax cuts with 51, so the latter. Of course PotUS didn’t get the memo and blasted McCaskill.

And of course that all overstates the so-called ā€œplanā€, which is still bullet points.

They can’t use reconciliation for something that explodes the deficit—and that is exactly what the massive tax cuts they want will do.

There will be zero tax reform—and probably no tax cuts, either.

By the way, Whiny. Have you checked out those little pins congressmen wear in their lapels? They say 'Fuck you, Snowflake," around the rim.

Ayn Rand has done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I noticed.

Of course they backed down! Trump always backs down. He always backs down because he’s signaled that every threat is empty, every line in the sand is ephemeral-to-nonexistent. He is systematically cowardly, unable to stand tall and proud knowing that he has strength in numbers and institutions behind him. He speaks only for himself, and that’s why he is the weakest president in living memory, maybe ever.

Trump is performance art…a hollow man wrapped in an enigma.

Hmmm… Hurricane Sandy was not a major Hurricane to make landfall in the contiguous United States?

Tax cuts will never balance the nonexistent budget. Most budgets (household, company, and national) need to take in as much as they spend to be ā€œbalancedā€ If there is debt then income must be increased.to compensate. I realize the GOPers don’t understand this and so they think the federal government can increase its income by cutting taxes.
Welp here’s a simple graph to illustrate what I mean. I must predicate this by saying the Clinton years benefited because of a very strong economy in addition to their tax increases.

The red indicates GHW Bush and GW Bush years

Point being if ya wanna lower the deficit and debt you need to increase taxes.

According to some Sandy wasn’t a hurricane. Not that it mattered to those in New Jersey at the time.

If Prez. Mofo Racist had a brain, he’d realize that Hurricane Harvey is the mother of all get-out-of-jail cards for his lying campaign call-and-response:
ā€œBuild that wall!ā€
ā€œWho’s going to pay for it?ā€
ā€œMEXICO!ā€

Thanks to Pena Nieto, we know that he knows he was lying the whole time. Now all he has to say is ā€œSorry, my fellow racists, but we’ve had to reprioritize after Harvey and we’re no longer going to shut down the government to get funding for the border wall.ā€

Mainly fueled by that newfangled thing called the internet which was started by the Federal government as ARPANET.

Don’t worry… he’ll back down then too…

Or, if things play out the way I’d like them to… he’ll be gone by then

Wait…I thought Al Gore invented the net…
He didn’t ??? (sharp intake of breath)

I remember when my lab got our first Apple II machine… and when we held department wide meetings on how to email and ā€œnavigateā€ the web. Not bad for non-computer type biologists at the time.
