Discussion: WSJ: No Lawmakers Representing Border Region Support Request For Wall Funds

1 Like

Did I miss something? Mexico is paying for the wall. It won’t cost the US a dime. It will also be “beautfiul” like our new healthcare insurance.

Border lawmakers don’t want the wall, no matter who pays, because it’ll hurt their local economies, not to mention affect families with relatives on both sides of the borders.

Well, by God, if they build it in Texas, it better be made of polished Texas pink granite, thirty-feet high, with stone reliefs of battle scenes from the Texas Revolution and Mexican War where we whooped them Mexicans good. Facing towards Mexico, of course.

In that gif is the only time Trump’s ever done any manual labor. And if he were ever forced, he would surely not be smiling, or even smirking.

We hear less and less about this. They will not pay in advance, or in cĂ sh or in kind, or by reimbursement, or by an other way that is subject to traditional valuation.

They must be looking for a bribe, manipulating. Otherwise they would all get together, hold a news conference, then explain to the American people the absurdity of Trump’s request.

But, Trump will claim Mexico paid or will pay soon, and many lemmings will believe.

If Mexico is me, then you could not be more right. I’ve paid enough, They have made enough. Trump and his camp can take a long walk on a short plank. For real.

Wow, it’s almost as if those folks have contemplated the horrific social and economic ramifications of such an idiotic proposal.

Good on them!

It’s really pretty curious that despite a veritable mountain of evidence, you dismiss out of hand the notion that Putin has invested in Trump, yet you immediately conclude without a smidgeon of supporting fact that Democratic Congressman Vela is looking for a bribe.

This is what investors do when they fear their investment is threatened:

I think they cannot avoid it. It is an aye or nay vote with their name right on it!

Outlandish campaign riff hits the NIMBY reality that the wall has to be placed somewhere, taking private land, cutting off communities, etc. Those who thought about it for 15 minutes already realized this, but of course that excludes our commander-in-thief.

You’d almost think the GOP is unwilling to commit political suicide just to be an enabler for Donald Trump’s mental illness. Life sure does come at you fast.

Folks, I checked this article and it mentions Little Red Rohrbacher(R-CA) meeting with his pro-pooty pals. California is border. If Rohrbacher thinks it’s too toxic, it’s too toxic to support for anybody.
