Did Trump just make civil war inevitable?
Not likely, but I do predict an uptick in Keyboard Kommandos pounding away in Mama's basement.

Silly comparison. Nobody has argued that "border security" is unconstitutional. Nobody has argued that border security is NOT the responsibility of the Executive Branch. No one has argued that a border wall is unconstitutional. The only question is the funding method and the constitutionality of using a "national emergency" as the means of funding it.

I bet grumpy old conservatives, who love to watch Fox News when they're not at their keyboards, outnumber such people. From there will be an uptick as well.

Sounds like how the Native Americans must've felt about the new invaders into their lands...

There were Hispanic people in Texas, California and New Mexico long before they became states. What makes you think this a country for Whites only?

The wall will reduce the number of guns illegally smuggled into the US, resulting in a decrease in homicides, other crimes and gun violence in general.

Too bad you have no idea how a border works. Mexico has their own Border Police. When you cross over there, they will question and search you because they are looking for GUNS and CASH being smuggled into Mexico. They get assault rifles, machine guns and ammo from the U.S. not the other way around.

Drugs will always find a way into the hands of paying users. Always has, always will.

That's the ones I'm talking about. Even they aren't so stupid as to start a war where no one knows who is on which side. We tried that in Viet Nam.

They will sit in their basements and fondle their assault-style weapons they bought because Obama and Wayne La Pierre were such great salesmen, Obama selling Democracy and La Pierre selling fear, and they will love their weapons and pet them and squeeze them and call them George.

Then they will go online and make a post about how the Liberals are killing America, and they will feel good about themselves again, and the war will be over.

Bad black people, being unhappy that the cops are shooting their unarmed kids. That's how civil wars start. Not.

The Dems were outraged over Trump's travel ban, but the Supreme Court approved it.
So who is for the constitution? The Democrats or the Supreme Court?
