For liberal pit'rs: The Silver Linings

[steve dave]

Welcome back KSUDub!

[_33]

None of that crap is happening.  It's just stuff he said to win the bet.

I'm fully convinced he believes about one thing he said "policy" wise...that the trade deals aren't the best....all that other crap he said to get votes.

I know you didn't state that you thought this was unique to Trump, so I'm not accusing you of that, but you just described every politician in every election that has ever been held since the beginning of the universe.

Appears to be a reason to riot.  I missed KSUW TOO

True....only difference is Trump's stuff was left field stuff that his voters ate up (build that wall chants etc) and now he is going to hurt their feelings bad.

[Tobias]

they're gonna be so mad when he doesn't lock up hilldawg

[Emo EMAW]

That will indeed sting some. 

[Dugout DickStone]

the wall will be the biggest disappointment

[Emo EMAW]

Nah.  I'm with General Patton on this issue.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think the wall will be built.

[Emo EMAW]

If he can figure out a way to tax the remittances, even like 10%, it would fully fund itself in 8 years (construction only).

He won't be able to find a way to fund the wall. His plan for his first 100 days is to secure a budget for the wall under the presumption that we will be reimbursed by Mexico. We won't be reimbursed, but the wall will be there. We are going to spend more than we did under Obama, so hopefully the debt doesn't matter that much.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Instead of a physical wall, wouldn't it be a lot easier and cheaper to triple our border patrol, supplement with drone surveillance, add detention facilities and magistrates (no more catch and release), and get back to enforcing the current laws? I think that'd work better than a physical wall.

Trump should do this instead, and just tell the American people that "wall" was a metaphor for better border security. Jesus used metaphors all the time.

So, kind of like, okay, pretty much completely like what Senator Hillary Clinton supported in 2006??   (when she then assailed the Mexican government for their policies that sent people over the border)

He promised to build the BEST wall. Such a great wall, he promised to build. Trumpsters are not going to accept a bunch of people standing around a non-wall.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Yeah, the wall will be built and we will pay for it. No republican congressman will be able to deny funding and get reelected.

[mocat]

why can't we just spend all that money to make it easier to enter the country legally?

[Rage Against the McKee]

why can't we just spend all that money to make it easier to enter the country legally?

I don't think the people who voted for Trump want more Mexicans here.

[Emo EMAW]

It would be pretty cheap to just pass a bill opening the boarders to everyone no matter what.  If we were dead set on spending money we could build highways or maybe a streetcar type thing. 

[mocat]

well i mean if they enter legally and start working, they would be paying taxes 

[Emo EMAW]

I don't think the kind of people we'd want to come are walking their asses across the desert.  We need engineers and doctors, educated and trained folks like that.  The ditch diggers won't pay enough taxes to cover their share of the public services they'd consume.

[Phil Titola]

Not only do I demand the wall, I want it to be the most beautiful wall and taller than the one in China as promised....we will not be outdone by a bunch of 14th century Chinese.....MAGA!

We need everyone who is coming here and finding work. That is how a market works. Also, the idea that we need every worker to pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits is laughable. Their employer is paying more than enough tax to cover any benefit received and would pay much less without a source of labor.
