Well, duh! What kind of silly question is that? It's a Rolex! It's made in Switzerland!

This is just a BOTE calculation, but it looks to me that by the time WALL is finished there won't be any people trying to get into the country any more because there won't BE anything on the US side.

And even if they did, they'd still vote for him again.

I wouldn't let Trump within ten miles of any federal budget. For him, it's all just play money, and-- he'll tell you-- he's a player.

I seem to remember a Trump brag shortly after the election that it was his political savvy that got him to spend enough time in the 3 relevant states to get the 80,000 votes to win the election...

That was also an HRC dig, because there was so much blame leveled at her for "not spending enough time in Michigan, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania".

IIRC that was also where Jill Stein focused her "reelection campaign", where she collected money and then just ... vanished. Even after that picture of her sitting at Vladimir Putin's table at that dinner with Mike Flynn.

I think the thing that infuriates me the most in his taking funds--or as of last night, attempting to take funds--from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, aka West Point, aka Castle Greyskull.

Cadet Bonespurs cannot possibly understand the damage to morale and possibly to the education of our future military leaders that the Commander in Chief actively taking funds from the school inflicts. And that means that he cannot possibly understand the importance of having well-educated military leaders in place at all. Fucker.

His real plan to win is for his master Tsar Vladimir to steal it for him AGAIN.

And of course, Tsar Vladimir would love to see Benedict Donald weaken our armed forces.

The military budget is bloated because of defense contractors.Quite a lot of our service people live on food stamps. Taking money for repairs and schools should piss you the fuck off real fast- if he was taking money from Boeing, then I would shrug

So this pretty much blows the budget process. Congress allocates, Trump emegies the money wherever the fuck he wants, Congress either fills in the holes or acquiesces to Trump's whims. Could he defund the EPA for emergy funding of the wall or some other shit?

Repeat after me: "Who pays for the wall?"

Awww they got him the multi-color pack and he stayed within the lines. (Does Nancy Pelosi clap)

Emegies is not a valid scrabble word. So the President should not be allowed to do it. And please don't give him any ideas about the EPA.
