You think he's a toxic, orange bag of crap, too? Good to know! In fact I do. I have no idea what I've ever posted that would draw you to any other conclusion. Hillary is a white bag of crap. What a choice we have!

Hopefully he stops all the Canadians from coming here clogging up our health system getting treated for items they cannot get taken care of up north. All those Canadians? Lol! It's less than a fraction of one percent. We coming in DROVES!! Besides, your health care system is for those with money. It doesn't matter whose money, does it? Hey, they were all over the doctor waiting rooms in southwest Florida all winter with me, complaining about lack of treatment up north, and how they could only stay six months and had to get back to keep their crappy health insurance in effect Couldn't lose the crappy insurance even though they were being treated here. I guess they did like the cheap meds up there

And they get sick a lot. And old people complain about everything. You DO need their money, however.

... Put your soldiers to work patrolling the border. ... Here is why I don't support that idea. Only in very narrow circumstances do we currently have Department of Defense personnel involved in civilian law enforcement. If we have them start to patrol the border, what is the perimeters of that? One hundred feet from the border? A mile? What about places where the border has residences within that area? Do they patrol international sea ports along each coast? International airports? How far into the country do they pursue illegal immigrants? What role do they play when witnessing other crimes that take place within their area of patrol? What happens if military authorities come into conflict with civilian authorities? What happens if our military personnel are needed to be military personnel rather than border control? If we don't need them to be military ready, why not just cut the number in military uniforms and hire people to be in border patrol uniforms. Seems many "banana republics" have had serious issues when military personnel think that they can do a better job with taking care of a country than the political leaders. I support not heading down that path of possibility.

25 casualties? A masked man was shot dead Thursday after entering a movie theatre in southwestern Germany with a weapon and taking several hostages, authorities said. No one else was injured.
An armed man entered the Kinopolis movie theatre in the early afternoon in the town of Viernheim and apparently fired a gun, police spokesman Bernd Hochstaedter told N-TV television. Police shot the suspect dead about three hours later, Hesse Interior Minister Peter Beuth said. www.cbc.ca/news/world/german-theatre-shooting-1.3649004The article says "25 PEOPLE SAID TO BE INJURED IN GERMAN SHOOTING: HESSENSCHAU" and then quotes from the "Hessenschau" cable. Obviously "Hessenschau" got bad info.

Probably because someone figured out that the drug dealers are really, really good at digging tunnels, which makes fences kind of pointless.
Unless you're Trump trying to rally the voters.

Then the law should have been repealed, right? Why is it that democrats can't understand what a law is?

That does not mean that I think that building a wall is a good idea, only that it is better than risking a military coup d'état. The wall would just be a monument to stupidity.

They couldn't get the funding and the idea was dropped. If I had to guess, I would say it was a republican that turned the idea down due to the price (at least in the past, Republicans used to be the sensible party when it came to spending money).
Do you always blame everything on the liberals and democrats? That's pretty serious tunnel vision. If you thought hard, you might be able to think of a thing or two Bush Jr did that wasn't all that great.

I think the more of Mexico we annex, the shorter the wall would need to be.

How is a law passed without funding? Sadly, it happens more often than you think. (Says the mom of a special needs child. Local school districts don't get the money to do everything they are required to do by law, for the benefit of the child, is one example.)

Law decrees that it shall be built. That means it should be there, or at least under construction. Sort of like law states that it is a crime to enter our country illegally. We've seen how that has been enforced lately.

Will the Great Wall of Trump be able to be seen from the moon like the Great Wall of China?

So do I. If the American populace is stupid enough to vote in that orange bag of crap, I want to be as far removed from them as possible. Hopefully he stops all the Canadians from coming here clogging up our health system getting treated for items they cannot get taken care of up north. No way. My hospital makes a mint on it. The local economy depends on Canadian traffic.
