Economy The [Wall / Government Shutdown] Megathread

[Greoric]

It's the people who arent authoritarian who are in favor of the president declaring an emergency to seize powers that belong to Congress.


Yeah that sounds about right.

You have my deepest pity if you are white and saying that.

Telling that you've singled me out as the smug tool here among a sea of scholars.
I take it everyone else here is humble and doubts their righteousness?
Who is the "we" here, by the way? Your little right wing clique?

“Little right wing clique”...yeah it’s so little....that’s why Trump is president.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

The Wall won't need to stop every immigrant.

It just needs to make it exponentially more difficult to cross.

Just like razor-wire fences, and concrete walls don't stop escapes from prison. They just make it very fucking rare.

Gone soon, RIP Byron. Sound wall advice as well btw.

Man I can't wait for this wall to be built.

Trump should make worker concentration camps on 3-6 month rotations for anyone who voted for Hillary to come physically work on the wall. That would be awesome and would teach leftists like @Rational Poster and @KONG-D'SNT-TAP a good lesson.

I addressed the "we" because you introduced it in the context of Sherdog and perceptions among others here about my intellect, not the political spectrum at-large.
But, domain of discourse is difficult to maintain when you're not that bright, so I'll cut you some slack.

Blah blah blah...go. Back to your seat and shut the fuck up....

Dude with seemingly no formal education who lives in the middle of nowhere, trying to tell a guy with a public policy degree to shut up about politics on a political messageboard.

Did u forget about the media darlings flake and McCain..Trump never had the votes with those turn coats in the senate

So it was everyone else’s fault and not trumps. Thanks for confirming.

I flubbed things up a bit with a merge I wouldn't have made if I wasn't being careless. I had to separate out Palis's RoE thread about the wall that predated this one. When I re-separated the threads the poll that one of my fellow mods added to this thread remained with his thread because of its older OP date.

I have copied the poll to this thread, again. So it is fresh, and know that you can vote again. I set the close date for the 19th which is right around the time the original one was set to close.

Sorry about the logistical inconvenience of all this, gentlemen.

Hory shet that soy boy guy is a fuckin EZ ignore

 

[kahiljabroni]

Not gonna mention the anti American raging dumpster fire that the healthcare bill was. And border security wasn't a thing until after the last election. McCain was dead

Huh?

 

[kahiljabroni]

Yes. When it comes to the wall...yes. That's literally the case

 

[7437]

Huh?

The wall. McCain didnt get a chance to oppose it before he died

 

[tonni]

Why? The people that support Trump aren't the people who lean authoritarian.

 

[7437]

Yes. When it comes to the wall...yes. That's literally the case

No, it's never everyone but the presidents fault. If he had a real plan, there would be a wall. If he had compromised woth the dems, there would be a wall.

 

[tonni]

I'm actually surprised by the lack of votes for "I am a Trump supporter and I don't support the use of emergency funds." I thought there would be at least some posters who support trump but have some semblance of sense or principle.

I’m not.

What does my being white have to do with it?

Work camps is more of a thing us leftists are for. And it is coming dont worry.

You're right, walling a few acres around a building is the same thing as walling up hundreds of miles of inhabitable desert.

I should have thought of that.

Oops, Israel found some tunnels. I guess they should just tear down all of their existing walls since they don't do anything.

What does my being white have to do with it?

Everything. When you are a minority, you will not be treated as well as minorities are being treated now.
