The Mexican Government just announced that it will pay a total of $30 Billion to the US government, earmarked to construct Trump's boarder wall on the United States southern border with Mexico.

The Mexicans will pay the $30 Billion in installments. It will send $1 to the United States Treasury every year for 30 Billion years, starting on October 1, 2018.

That will take 600 billion years.

According to Astrobiologists, habitable conditions on Earth will be possible for at least another 1.75 billion years.

Love to see who's going to be around concerned about open borders.

We will have altered the Goldilocks zone by CO2 emissions. As we continue to pump it into the atmosphere, it effectively is like pushing the planet further in toward the Sun.

Venus is the prime example.

But Jupiter is a boiling mess of sulfurous gases and Mars has virtually no atmosphere. We are on our way to joining Jupiter, although our death gases will be carbon based. We would have killed our planet and every living thing on it, including ourselves.

would cost half that much if it was built from the top down. Plus it would be impossible to climb over almost immediately. Lots less graffiti too....for a while.

My cynical self thinks he said that because he was planning on selling all the immigrant children he knew they would be taking from their parents at the border. Why else would he not have a plan in place to return them to their families?
