First I want McConnell to explain how long it will take all of the eminent domain cases to get through the court systems, next I want him to explain how many American's will be affected by the land seizures, and and last, I would like to see how much it will cost.

Yeah build that wall with the house turned blue... Not. It's nothing more than red meat rhetoric. Two years in and no wall? Two years in and Hillary is still free? In this case two and two equals four. It's as plain as day, neither is going to happen.

But a wall he can point to and say "mine" will stroke his fragile ego more than a mere 'plan'.

Even if Congress does give him some money, there is no working design to build.

Gee, I guess Mr Real Estate Developer Trump can't even get a stupid wall built ! Maybe they should hire some of those Mexican laborers, they KNOW how to build stuff !


How hard is it to build a damn wall ? The Chinese did it a bunch of centuries ago.

Finally? McConnell has been hard at work trampling all over the Constitution.

Fight? Sure. Bring it on.

Trump and the GOP are going to close down the government over a wall that a minority of the country wants? Lol. That will be great for the Dems.

Go check out the GOP's popularity when closing down the government in 2013. I didn't think ratings could sink into single digits.

THIS.

It amazes me the complete disregard for property rights by the pro-wall people.

Land seizures for the good of the State; where else did that happen? Oh yeah...The Soviet Union and Maoist China.

Hopefully the landowners will fight tooth and nail--up to and including deadly force--to protect their property rights against the government trying to steal it from them.

It's amazing how Trump followers believe every word that comes out of that idiot's mouth. He just pulls this crap out of his bag of tricks for his campaign rallies because he knows it's red meat for his base. That, and "lock her up!" and "Democrats (or journalists or fill-in-the-blank) are evil" (he is apparently unaware that he is POTUS for all American citizens, not just those that support him), makes a mockery of the position of POTUS ("Here's me, looking presidential.""), sells off pieces of pristine American wild lands to foreign mining and drilling interests--in order to "make America great again," I guess, and endlessly on and on. He is a complete buffoon and a deep embarrassment to the nation. If George Washington were alive today, he'd clock him and toss him out on his a$$. But, you know, his base, "the mob": they get so much pleasure from joining him in his nastiness, spitting on everyone and anyone who thinks differently. Guess that's what happens when public education goes down the tubes. . . .

The above is a good example of the typical leftist hate and lies.

Deep-Staters.

So to recap, you are whining about subsidizing other Americans while taking full advantage of the subsidies yourself.

Why not stand on your principles and just go it alone instead? No one is forcing you to make use of Obamacare. Admit it, you're going through the exchanges for your insurance because you like the subsidies.

I don't know what you're talking about. I earn too much to qualify for subsidize for anything I buy. I play by the rules and live by the free market, but am coerced in to subsidizing everyone elses bloated lifestyle. Soda is the number one item purchased with food subsidies for the poor in America. After these folks destroy their health with their poor dietary/lifestyle choices, I am then forced to subsidize/pay for their healthcare. Meanwhile, I can't afford to get sick because it could literally destroy me financially.

You obviously have no clue how the rest of us are forced to live so that parasites can get fatter.
