Yeah... that's actually is a streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.
Not one person has mentioned the anti-tank performance of this wall. And I figure it's been at least a hundred years since there's been any concern of a military land invasion to the US.
So if this is a military expenditure within the purview of the DoD, then it's the biggest boondoggle ever.
That is exactly what it is for - the current land invasion to the US.
The one with all the shooting.
WOLVERINES!
Maybe this was mentioned in the immigration thread, but if there really is an invasion by foreigners, it is treasonous of our CINC to fail to direct troops to prevent it. He has that authority.
ETA:
Maybe one of the presidential candidates might talk about that?
[See how this side-conversation can be brought back to the topic?]
Maybe you missed it but Bush, obummer and Trump have all sent National Guard troops to the border.
Why aren't they shooting the invaders?
And the Kenyan?
Good question. They should be shooting drug smuggling narco gangsters and the terrorists they escort across the border! If they start doing that, the flood of illegal migrants will go to the nearest consulate to file asylum requests, instead of going to our border.Why aren't they shooting the invaders?
Maybe Other Biden will pick Biden as his running mate. Might as well because VP Biden will be the closest he will ever have gotten to becoming the President.Other Biden 2020
Biden is the perfect choice. Put him in the Oval Office. He's past the point where he can do anything other than tell stories about things that never happened (to him/to others). He dresses nice. Don't let the kiddies come too near and change the subject if he asks you to rub him anywhere on his body.
He won't change the status quo, so you Repubicans should be happy.
He doesn't Tweet. I don't think he's ever used Facebook.
Perfect.
"Do Nothing Democrat, and proud of it!"
Actually, that might be an effective bumper sticker.
This is a rationalization. Using it to get funding for something Congress refused to fund is not the purpose of emergency powers. Neither is telling companies what they have to produce. But you bet they have a rationalization for that too. He’s just heading the emergency action demanded by Greta. The world will end if we don’t stop carbon now!!!
C’mon man. It’s not okay just because you like the result. Granted, Trump’s misuse of emergency power is abuse, but not to the degree as controlling what companies may build and market. However, Trump opened a completely new avenue for government authority that had been put in check by precedent. I’m sure Democrats can’t wait to occupy the chair so that they can wield it for everything congress won’t give them. It’s pen + phone on steroids.
It appeals to me, at least.
We had the Know Nothing Party, now I suggest the Do Nothing Party. ... which is pretty much an ideal Libertarian Party, no?
You know it’s funny. I would’ve thought that Biden’s obvious pander to the black vote with his Mandela fable might have garnered some scrutiny but maybe I was wrong.Biden makes a gaff? Oh Noes!
Still prefer him over the Cheeto messiah.
