In "months" from now, when the wall isn't even funded started or even designed... the excuses will be YUGE! and plentiful.

Is dismantling the EPA and all the other agencies that would have to do years long environmental impact investigations before the building of the wall could begin and prevented any such information from being made public. Funny the timing of that then came this announcement of building the wall...

When they aren't in charge.

Now they are in charge. Now they will spend like drunken sailors.

Plus all that sweet wall street casino cash they will steal from killing social security, ACA, medicaid, Medicare, SSI will get the party started big time!

Then the sweet, sweet Trump wars fire up and the MIC will have multiple orgasms with american troops blood all over them.

The Republicans will have an obscene orgy with all the looting they are going to impose on the American public and then...

The 2nd great depression.

But they will be filthy rich off of their crimes so fuck the public. Bush almost did it but President Obama pulled us back from the brink and got no thanks for it either.

He won't be there the second time. I do not believe anyone will save us this time, they control the whole show now.

distracting from the Russia/Trumputin connection and the M$M are falling for it.

HOWEVER...should Republicans pass a bill to pay for the wall with taxpayer dollars, NO ONE should ever allow a single RWer to get away with saying that they're fiscal conservative. They will officially become the Party of TAX AND SPEND. Period.
