Pelosi: President 'expressing a sign of weakness' with wall
thehill.com ^ | 4/23/17 | Rebecca Savransky

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday spoke out strongly against President Trump's proposed border wall, saying the Democrats do not support its construction.

"The president talks about how tall it is, who's going to pay for it and all the rest of that, but you have to understand this part of the country. There's a community with the border going through it," she said during an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"The president, I think, talking about this wall, is expressing a sign of weakness. He's saying, 'I can't control our borders. I have to build a wall.'"

Pelosi said the government has a responsibility to control the country's borders. "Building a wall is not an answer," she said, however.

"Not here, or any place."

“There’s a community with the border going through it,”

No, there are two countries with a wall to be built on the border.

Waters has one neuron, and it's dendrite is hooked up to it's axon.

Pelosi has a few more neurons, but they are not connected to anything in particular.....

The grifter from Arkansas has a complete head of neurons. They are simply twisted and honed in one thing, grift. She is not unintelligent, she is evil.

Here's what Republicans should do:

A) Grow a set of 'nads.

B) Go to the floor of The House and The Senate with those huge cardboard images of bird's eye views of the gated communities demonicRATS live in.

Nana Piglosi: "There's a community with the border going through it"

No.

There is an American community along the border on the American side and a bunch of Mexicans doing whatever Mexicans do on the other side of the border.

Who cares what Paul Pelosi's wife thinks? They just want more squat labor for their palace - Le Auberge du Soleil - in Napa Valley. Little Brown slaves toiling away, picking grapes and making beds for the Italian Queen! A nice view of No Borders Nancy's lovely little Estate:

“”The president talks about how tall it is, who’s going to pay for it and all the rest of that, but you have to understand this part of the country. There’s a community with the border going through it.”

She is only half right. All earth is a community. But political theories and practices are what border the communities. She is in favor of succession from the Union in California.

She wants to build a border between the US and what she wants used to be a state. How does she expect to defend that new country without something to mark and say stay out to the the millions of illegals that cross the border every year? And I can promise you, when they become their own little country, and no longer need them for illegal voting, they will chase the illegals out. So much for sanctuary.

The wall says this is the divide. We respect your side, respect ours. And California is the worst about ignoring that. They can’t possibly be a self-containing state as they have neither the resources, the manpower, or the funds to do so.

Maybe the US should stop the wall at the the point where Arizona meets the Mexican/California line and build it north up the east side of California. Might as well if they are not going to stop the illegals. If they want them, let them have them. But they will have to prove they have adhered to the US voting laws or their vote results will not be accepted. Fair deal.

No. The weakness is in not trying and sentencing you to prison or worse for gross destructiveness, treason to the Republic and corruption, theft of public funds etc. to your hubby’s companies.

If the wall is supposedly ineffectual then why oppose it?

Democrats depend upon stupidity. So they espouse even more stupidity. And stupid idiots keep voting for liars and stupid idiots. How do people like Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters, etc. get elected? Got to be very, very stupid to vote for people like that.

And then there’s Hillary, Nancy, Uncle Joe, ......... and the king of liars, Barack Hussein Obama.

Absolutely can never make sense why people vote to destroy their own country.

Re-direct monies we send to meh-e-co for foreign aid (a little over $300m), and tax all wire transfer monies from illegals to meh-e-co

Why do Democrats oppose the wall? If it isn't going to work then who cares if it is built? It can't be the cost because $20B spent over four years is not even Federal pocket change.

So it must mean that the wall IS going to be effective.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Call their bluff, Mr. President.

Let the Government run on current inflows for awhile.

Start by no money to sanctuary cities or states, no money to PP, no money to U.N., no money to “climate science.”

Take the cuts in your proposed budget effective immediately, such as DoE and EPA.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

A tax on those monies can help pay for the wall. Oh, and it will get Mexico’s attention very quickly.

Maybe a 25% tariff or so. 40%. 50%.

Much of the money will immediately be spent inside the USA. Wouldn’t that be awful?

All you have to do is tie Nancy’s hand down and she would be speechless.
