TRUMP'S GREAT WALL BECOMES TRUMP'S GREAT STALL
November 28, 2018
For those of us who were ecstatic the night Donald Trump was elected president, who watch election night videos over and over again, it used to be easy to defend him against the charge that he is just a BS-ing con man who would say anything to get elected.
It's getting harder.
Trump was our last chance. But he's spent two years not building the wall, not deporting illegals -- "INCREDIBLE KIDS!" -- and not ending the anchor baby scam.
Within 10 seconds of Trump's leaving office, there will be no evidence that he was ever president. Laws will be changed, executive orders rescinded, treaties re-written and courts packed.
Trump will leave no legacy at all. Only a wall is forever.
We had no choice. No one else was promising to save America.
"On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. We will use the best technology, including above- and below-ground sensors, that's the tunnels. Remember that: above and below. Towers, aerial surveillance and manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels and keep out criminal cartels ..." -- Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump
But then he signed a spending bill expressly prohibiting him from building any part of the wall.
"I will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not going to do it again." -- President Trump, after signing a spending bill that blocked any funding for a wall.
Today, eight months later, Trump is about to sign another spending bill that will give him no money for the wall.
Anyone want to bet me that he won't?
So much for the world's greatest negotiator.
Donald Trump is the commander in chief. He doesn't need Congress' approval to defend the nation's borders.
But as long as his excuse for not building the wall is that Congress hasn't appropriated money for it, why on earth would he sign a spending bill that doesn't give it to him?
There is no tomorrow on this. Republicans are about to lose the House. It's now or never.
We didn't need someone to tell us how hard it is to get anything done in Washington. We knew that.
That's why we hired a builder. We didn't care what Trump's position on the lira was. We didn't care about Syria. We were just looking for the best contractor we could find so we would finally get a wall.
If we were talking about a golf course in Scotland, I think Trump could figure out how to get it done.
But instead of winning, we're getting whining. We're told it's Congress' fault for not giving Trump money to build the wall! The ACLU will sue! A judge will stop him! Blame Paul Ryan! (Possible Trump epitaph: Chuck wouldn't let me!)
President Reagan bombed Libya in retaliation for two U.S. serviceman being killed by a bomb in a West Berlin discotheque -- TWO!
But Trump thinks he needs the preapproval of Congress, the ACLU and a district court judge in Hawaii to do something about tens of thousands of Americans being killed every year by illegal alien heroin dealers, drunk drivers and straight-up murderers.
Reagan invaded Grenada because the country was becoming a Soviet client state. No Grenadian threatened to touch a hair on any American's head. One wonders what Reagan's reaction would have been to someone telling him, YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THE ACLU WILL SUE!
If Reagan had Trump's advisers, we'd be speaking Russian.
The ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the other anti-American groups opposing Trump on immigration were the very same groups that opposed Reagan. They would have been happy if the U.S.S.R. had nuked this country.
Sadly for them, Reagan kept his promises, and we won the Cold War. So now the back-up plan is to destroy our country by flooding it with the Third World.
We needed Reagan and got P.T. Barnum instead.
Evidently, Trump knew he could bomb an innocent country based on false information about the Syrian government using nerve gas in April 2018. (Actual reason: Ivanka cried.) No less than the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons spent months testing the bodies allegedly killed by nerve gas. Conclusion: No nerve gas.
But we're supposed to believe that Trump doesn't realize that he's also allowed to defend the citizens of this country. Does he know he's president?
Even if noted constitutional law scholar Jared Kushner has convinced Trump that he needs congressional approval before he's allowed to repel invaders at our border -- but doesn't need Congress to bomb an innocent country because Ivanka cried -- the president could order the troops to invade Mexico and build the wall 10 yards in.
But all we get are bombastic tweets and useless half-measures. The conservative media have been excitedly reporting that Obama put illegal alien kids in cages too! Obama used tear gas on the invaders too!
Yes, exactly -- and none of that worked. That's why we voted for the guy who promised to build a wall.
Unlike the president, we knew that the deluge of poor people flooding our country would never stop until we had an impenetrable border.
And whatever happened to that executive order on anchor babies? Is Trump "trying" to sign that, too? Maybe he got writer's cramp.
Trump also promised to deport illegals -- even the ones Democrats have given cute names to.
"We're always talking about 'Dreamers' for other people. I want the children that are growing up in the United States to be dreamers also. They're not dreaming right now." -- Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump
"The executive order (on "Dreamers") gets rescinded." -- Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump
Is it Paul Ryan's fault that Trump did a 180 on "Dreamers," called them "INCREDIBLE KIDS" and tried to give them amnesty?
Every day that Trump does not keep his promises on immigration, thousands of immigrants turn 18 and start block voting for the Democrats, while thousands of traditional Americans die off.
Florida and Texas are about five years away from turning solid blue. Trump was our last chance. After this, the country is never going to elect a Republican president again.
So the next time you watch one of those election night videos, remember: If Trump doesn't keep his immigration promises, Hillary might as well have won.
Trump will leave no legacy whatsoever. Without a wall, he will only be remembered as a small cartoon figure who briefly inflamed and amused the rabble.
Humpty Dumpty broke through no wall,
got a job from a guy at the mall,
all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
couldn’t get Humpty to go home again.
That assumes Mueller is bullet-proof - I think he is out of the picture in the next 6 months. In either event, we know the dems increasingly tend to pile on.
Coulter is what you get by crossing Peggy Noonan with a bulimic Maureen Dowd.
Yes, she was palpitating for Christy and then Romney.
* * *
There you go, good memory! Coulter is full of hot air and a pain in the neck.
She completely gets it,
============
I agree. I like her track record, my money says she's right again.
Yep. Speaking harsh truths here, unfortunately.
You are sadly mistaken. When was the last time you were in TX?
I drove on I10 west through the whole state and most of it was like Mexico. El Paso is GONE, English isin't even spoken.
We don’t need anymore dots connected. No more flow charts. No more names added to the list. No more getting lost in the trees and screwing knot holes.[See Sundunce and the treehouse]
It was obvious what sessions, rotten rod, and mueller were doing over a year and a half ago when they put this soviet style special counsel coup into motion on behalf of O’muslim and Hillary.
It’s a MASSIVE CONSPIRACY OF HIGH TREASON and we have no controlling legal authority to bring the bastards to justice.
Pffffft!
Spare me the tough guy act. Pretend like I’m the left and go cower in the corner, because I’m not impressed.
Thanks Jim. We need the wall and probably a miracle too.
Exactly. I gave up on Marlow at least a year ago. All he does on a daily basis is whine and complain. He has become a waste of air time and ruined the Breitbart morning show.
Me too, and the sad part is that it didn't have to be this way.
Can't stand her any more..........
Your #31 = excellent. Coulters 5 year assessment for Florida and Texas is about right. Ppl can shoot the messenger but we are in trouble. .
Don’t worry folks, (trust)Sessions will have the anons shore up the border with memes. Quit being emotional, impatient and selfish! /sarc

Have you tried a different keyboard?
Maybe re-installing your drivers?
Perhaps doing a Windows recovery to an earlier date?
Those guys. To call them fools would be a complement.
I love that Luca Brasi comparison!
You win the top post with that comment.
This is exactly what is happening and several of those BS posers are right here on this thread.
