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 Laws will be changed, executive orders rescinded, treaties re-written and courts packed.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.
Like myself, the fat ba@tard was a powerful athlete once.
I was a boxer 150 pounds ago :)
And he can definitely be a thug but he’s the kind of Italian that will give his death for you out of loyalty, especially if that someone gave him a second chance in politics.
I can just tell, he reminds me of me. Not very flattering lol, just telling the truth.
I have liked Christie since I first saw him deal with reporters. He has guts. There is a big deal made here about him hiring a Muslim or two. I grew up in a Muslim neighborhood and there are at least 25% of Muslims who are good and decent and not into terrorism. Most criticizing Christie for hiring a Muslim never had a close friend who was Muslim, like I had in high school and college. Christie would be very good as AG because he is one of the very few with guts to do what needs to be done at DOJ.
rebuild our military - but not protect our border. something not very consistent about that
All this my come about but it will have NOTHING to do with the Wall
Remoind me hoiw toi doi that
Me too, and the sad part is that it didn’t have to be this way.

George H.W. Bush had other ideas.........
What version of Windows?
Laughing along with you cuz. The Don had his Luca Brasi and Michael found his own, I’m sure the President knows the man he can count on.
We’re going to be using Windows 10 in this article, but System Restore has been around a long time–and works pretty much the same way in each version of Windows. The instructions here are good for Windows 7, 8, and 10, and you’ll encounter only minor differences throughout the process.

I’ve been saying this for quite sometime...I have resigned myself to accept what we cannot fight because lack of will and the powers that wills it! Texas is being invaded by thousands and thousands of illegals and our government doesn’t give a chit to stop it! I agree Trump will be the last republican president elected. With the unstoppable fraud and illegals indoctrinated to believe republicans are evil racist against Hispanics etc.. and want to stop their freebies etc....our party is in it’s last leg! The Republican never had what the rats have....UNITY and fight!! Sad!
Oh and I forgot to mention...WE EAT OUR OWN..example: look at who Pampeo hired ..a trump-hater *itch to the core! D.C. IS FULL OF backstabbing SNAKES!!
Really? Were did Obama get a pallet of cash for the Iranians?
RATS deliver what their constituency want and then some.
Republicans usually just eat their own.
Thanz oi woi[[ [oioi foirtjat
More than half of the elected Republicans have been in on encouraging the illegal alien inundation.
I’ll not cry for the demise for the GOP, but I will for the demise of my country.
The doom and gloom we-should-all-just-give-up BS artists on this thread are pissing me off even more than Democrats do most days.
How long ‘til they shank us in the back just so they can be on the ‘winning’ side?
Great post and I agree.
Kind of terrified that you GREW UP in a muslim neighborhood and only 25 percent or a little more are not into terrorism!!
That leaves a lot!!
I had some good Albanian friends (whom as a group I REALLY dislike on Staten Island) who were muslim, but they weren’t much follower of the religion.
Though Tony and Elisa couldn’t get married because his family wouldn’t “let him” marry a Catholic.
They were very in love but he wouldn’t give up his family.
I had the same situation with a Jewish girl and we were in love but the father said she was disowned if we married and I wasn’t gonna let that happen.
It is what it is sometimes.
Yeah Michael found a VERY tough one.
And SMART. So he was BETTER than Luca.
As for me, i am a fat #### Italian lol
I don’t lie about what I am
I had my days in the sun as a handsome girl getting boxer.
it is what it is :)
