let him pay for it himself by selling advertising space on it, like they do on the side of trolley cars.
I believe this refers to: The first picture seems to be about Trump's Jan. 25, 2017 executive order. The second refers to the Nazi policy of rounding up citizens in occupied countries. The third picture refers to the Soviet Union's and East German (GDR) Berlin Wall, not a Nazi wall. The Soviet/GDR rational for the wall was to stop unwanted immigration from West Berlin into East Berlin.
Some of my concerns, not in order of importance: The deal I remember was Mexico was paying for it. It's devastating to desert wildlife which wanders around looking for water. Most immigrant come in by legal ports of entry and overstay visa. Border crossings are at historic lows, and the wall wouldn't help anything. You'd have to use eminent domain to seize Americans land. The shutdown is already cost the US more money than the wall funding he wants. $5,000,000,000 is a lot of money to be spent on something that can be defeated by a $50 ladder. Once CBP and TSA have to quit to keep feeding their families and many more flights are canceled, you're going to start seeing oil and healthcare execs checks stop pouring into the coffers of senators, and there will be a compromise. The other would be a declaration of emergency by the president which would be in the supreme court before a brick was laid, and would almost certainly be canceled. Either way this will end, but not before the government loses some very qualified people in charge of actually protecting the border. Bonus points: The wall already exists, with a few holes in places where it would be insane to build. (On mountains, on rivers...)
Fall of the Berlin Wall I'm always reminded of this (partially because of the Love Parade really). I think that what once divided Berlin was so sad. I don't even know the story behind it or what the political motivation for it was. But I think that a people divided is a bad thing. People keep talking about border security. There are lots of drugs that come over through that border. Left unchecked, we would be inundated with the stuff! And it's a problem. Americans are addicted to drugs. There ought to be a legalization effort; that way it's out of the hands of the black market, and would be regulated by the FDA (food and drug administration) such that there wouldn't be impurities, dosing disparities etc. Sure, there would still be a health crisis as those things aren't good for you. But many of our issues would be addressed. Anyway... that discussion works better in another thread. I don't like the wall, or the debt!
I think we should just allow people to flood into the country unimpeded because that is like, tolerant and stuff. Borders are fascist and racist. Countries should not exist. Not only should these poor souls be allowed to flood into this fascist country of white privilege, but suck off the resources courtesy of the US taxpayer. If you disagree with me you are a racist and a xenophobe. Seriously, though, I think the wall is an idiotic idea designed only to create political polarization and distraction.... something for the media to cover and the gullible masses to quabble endlessly about. As Ron Paul has said, if you want to stop people coming into the country illegally, end entitlements to illegals. And as far as drugs... most of the drugs are not brought into the country by Mexicans walking across the border on foot, or even by driving in vehicles, but by big ships and military aircraft. Ya know, the same people who throw you in jail for possessing them.
To this I would like to add -No real environmental assessment has been completed -No assessment has been completed as to the long term costs of upkeep on the wall -Imminent domain lawsuits would likely drag out for years in court -The requested 5 billion would only build a few miles of wall. The true cost of a 2000 mile wall would be a drain on our budget for years and years
i say build the wall, put some archers on those turrets, rouse the chariots to mow down stragglers let's settle this like it's 500 B.C
i say look, as long as he keeps getting away with giving the finger to the constitution, the emoluments clause especially, but a lot of other things in both spirit and letter and in front of the public and everybody, he says he's rich, he's ripping off the country to get richer, sooo, let him build what he wants, out of his own damd deep pockets he claims to have. he says he's rich, so let him demonstrate this by doing so, and yah, if he needs some spare change to maintain it, let him sell advertising space on both sides of it. if he sells advertising space on it to mexican businesses, he can claim and pretend that "mexico is paying for it". i know all that sounds silly, but no sillier then his damd temper tantrum to begin with. also are you seeing the slight of hand going on there? what he wants you to thing, is that he wants to build something that can be seen from outer space like china's wall with mongolia. and yes of course, its already there, and been there, and an environmental disaster. he doesn't seem to understand nor care where the air he breathes comes from. he seems to think if there were no vegitation, he could somehow magically import an atmosphere. from where? he doesn't care. he just doesn't seem to get that there wouldn't be anywhere to import it from. but its not even, the wall is another of his famous illusion/distractions. the shut down, the whole reason for his wall thing, is/was, to create an excuse for the shut down, and he doesn't want it to end, he wants it to last for ever. if he was given everything he claims to want for his wall, he'd find, come up with, hire people to come up with, some other excuse for it. (and the real kompromat, nobody gives a shit about pee tapes, is that all of his so called wealth is leverage, that's a fancy term for kiting, or borrowing secured by previous borrowing, and the only collateral backing it up, is the russian mafia. everything he says and does, is a scam, for the sole real purpose, of destroying consent of the governed)
Look, you actually have nazi kind of shit happening in China now, Muslims in the west put into camps by the hundreds of thousands reportedly, people disappearing for months at a time to ge re-educated or never seen again. Why no memes of Xi Jingping? Some of those central american countries still have some of the highest murder rates in the world. Why no memes of Hernandez or Maduro? The kind of people that post nazi type memes of Trump, they actually give a shit about those minorities Still going on in Burma, they are still all in the refugee camps, any one even know the name of the Top general responsible for that Dont pretend you all actually give a shit
Looks like Burmese military are going to get away with it, close to a million people displaced, up to 70,000 dead. Why are they going to get away with it? Russian and China have permanent vito powers, and they are both kind of doing the same thing in western China, Chechnya, Crimea sort of.....and the rest of the world doesnt really give a shit
People are privellaged, to only have to worry about whether a wall is built or not, turn blind eye on the world.
