Round up and deport anyone here illegally. Charge them for the cost of hunting them down, processing them, and the bus ride back to the border. If they have no money, literally take the clothes from their backs in payment.

Rather than make the government even bigger, subcontract this work out to private companies. Bounty hunters could become a good business for a couple of years.

You start doing this, and people see we're serious about it, two things are going to happen. One, the flow of illegals into the country will stop, within minutes of the realization this is going to happen. Two, illegals here will see what is happening and "self deport" rather than be rounded up and hauled off.

You start this, and our illegal alien problem is over in a year or two. Our border problem is over within a couple of weeks.

As I recall from many years ago during my term of military service, it was spelled out in our guidebooks that any form of sodomy was a court-martial offense. Am I wrong as to this detail? Maybe someone else can recall reading of this also.

My old employer used to start up with the “If I was king”
routine. I always told him if it ever looked like that
would happen, I would shoot him myself.

He did say the problem with the penal system
was that it was all built above ground.

Good list - but I would add this one as well:

14. Any American women who is in possession of at least one 'pussy-hat',
thinks birth control should be 100% taxpayer funded,
and thinks 'toxic masculinity' is the gravest threat to American culture should be deported to Afghanistan immediately.

s not really a good idea, since some things simply have to be imported because they cannot be produced here efficiently

BS. 95% of the things we use every day can and should be mad e it the USA. So screw off and pack sand globalist POS.

Replace income taxes with import tariffs.

I don’t think you understand what a Globalist is. What about the 5% we can’t produce (rare earth metals used in electronics, cell phones, and batteries), some of which are critical inputs? True, we can grow coffee here, but it would cost at least twice as much to do so. I prefer a $4 cup of coffee to an $8 cup of coffee. If you tax the other 95% of products that can be produced here, you protect those owners from competition and force everyone here to pay higher prices. So, tariffs benefit business owners (perhaps 5000 people), but 300+ million consumers now pay higher prices which puts more of our money in the hands of politicians. They spend that money to get themselves re-elected (e.g., taxpayer funding of free cell phones to poor people...why?) Personally, I think I can spend my money better than they can.

Slavery would be the most efficient economic model, right bean counter?

Because of terrible free trade economic policy we are now a client state to 3rd world countries, China and the EU. You have no problem with that even though our exports are heavily tariff-ed.

Moreover because of Free Traitors™ we are dependent on our enemies for basics; like medicines for Christ sake. So I hope all of you globalist just < expletive deleted > I would turn all Free Traitors into pink pulp if I were emperor for a day.

BTW, you should know that name calling is last line of defense for a person who isn't smart enough to form a rational statement based on the facts. Thanks for reaffirming that.

You cherry pick a few products like coffee that are not made here and project that onto a 20 Trillion dollar economy. You are a real POS.

There’s a large number of federal employees who are solid conservatives. Taking away their right to vote would be shooting ourselves in the foot. For instance, the entire group of programmers who work with my husband are very conservative, devout Christians.

...again. Also, your statement:

All Free Traitors are just pieces of amphibaon sh!t.

Since there is no such word as amphibaon, perhaps I can help you spell the correct word.

There's a much larger number who are solid Libs.

But regardless Conservative-Liberal, if you make money solely from the taxpayer you shouldn't be able to vote how much money you get from them because Human nature, you are always going to vote who expands the government and gives you more money vs what's good for the country.

For instance, the entire group of programmers who work with my husband are very conservative, devout Christians.

I would bet most if not all of those very Conservative, Devout Christians would vote Democrat if the Republican running was threatening to cut their department.

I would even bet most if not all of those very Conservative, Devout Christians would vote Democrat if the Republican running was threatening to make them pay for a little bit of their health care benefits.

I have seen my sisters remain faithful to the conservatives even when forced into early retirement by Obama’s cutbacks.
Some of the programmers are contractors who quite literally lost their health insurance thanks to Obamacare. They didn’t join the Democrats, then are angrier than ever with them.

I would restrict Airline travel to corporate travel or commercial travel for people with an adjusted gross income of 250k or more on their most recent tax return.

I'd do just four (4) simple things:
  1. Deport all 45-million illegal migrant vermin;
  2. Deport all foreign born who are still non-citizens;
  3. Eliminate, retroactively, Ted Kennedy's gift of birth-right to illegal migrant vermin;
  4. Dismantle/eliminate/fire any federal agency not found in the original Constitution...
