Quote:President-elect Donald Trump will ask American taxpayers, not Mexico, to fund border wall: reports

Quote:Donald Trump and House Republicans are exploring options to make good on the President-elect's promise to build a wall along the country's southern border — but it would be American taxpayers, not Mexico, who'd cough up for the multi-billion dollar project, according to officials.

Trump representatives have told GOP lawmakers in private meetings that they hope to use a Bush-era law that would allow the Republican-led Congress to use tax dollars to foot a border wall, according to multiple reports.

Surely, all the kickbacks from the drugs coming in should more than fund it?

Populism is expensive.

Senor Presidente is enjoying this waaaayyy too much!

Quote:Mexican ex-President Fox gloats after Trump admits Mexico won’t pay for ‘his racist monument’

His parishioners (because that's what these goddamn weirdos are) are already saying that this was the plan all along; that we'd pay for it first and then get it back in A, B, and C manner. For example, one way "they'll" pay for it is by taking the money from wire transfers going from individuals in the U.S. to Mexico. How is that supposed to happen? Fuck if I know. Things have gotten so dumb with Trump and his cult followers that the bottom of the dumb barrel has been bored-through and digging is ongoing.

And of course: trade war.

I don't remember ever hearing these idiotic things before yesterday, but all of a sudden, Mexico is going to pay for it after its built.

Healthcare is too expensive, but a wall that's going to cost anywhere from $25-$40 billion, not counting after the fact maintenance costs? No problem. But such is the thinking of revenge politics. They're going to punish Mexicans and they're going to punish Obama and supporters of the ACA; not because it's going to help anyone, but because it's going to hurt others. What's thunderously obvious is that along the way, Trumptards are going to get hurt just as much, if not more than the people they're seeking this drooling, misguided revenge against, and by then it'll be too late.

I'm imagining Trump's wall, just a small fraction of it being built by 2020 somewhere along some lonely stretch of desert in Arizona, which will sit there as a monument to idiocy for generations to come. I think that'd be a good thing. A big, purposeless, concrete mass on which people could graffiti and take pics of like the Berlin Wall became in West Germany that can always be pointed to as reminder to think before pulling the lever in the voting booth.

[Shouts rhetorically into the House chamber]: Is there a fiscal conservative in the House?

Remember the deficits that Reagan and Bush ran up?  Republicunts are full of shit.  Always have been.  Always will be.

They will lavish tax cuts on their upper 1% leash holders and corporate welfare on the rest of the scumbags but Food Stamps for the poor?  Fuck that.

Not only that, but they are among the most vociferous supporters of certain government make-work policies/programs.

The drug war and insanely over-the-top "defense" contracts come to mind.

Looks like his only real competencies are bullshitting and backpedaling.

"The dishonest media is not reporting that any money spent, for the sake if [sic] speed, on building the Great Wall, will be paid back by Mexico,” Trump wrote on Twitter Friday morning.
