Rand Paul Says He Knows Where We Can Get the Money for the Wall
Independent Sentinel ^ | 25 Dec 2018 | S. Noble

Posted on 12/25/2018 6:13:06 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Senator Rand Paul thinks he knows where we could find the funding to build the wall. Instead of rebuilding Afghanistan, we could use that money for the wall and our own national security.

Donald Trump Jr. agrees...

And the Russians are laughing at us for falling into the same quagmire that they were stuck in for years.

But don’t forget...during the 8 Dark Years, Afghanistan was the “good war” and Iraq was the “bad war”, according to the DemocRats. They won’t let this one get away from them without a fight.

“Occupy Central America. People won’t object.Protectorate. Panama’s ok. The dollar is their currency. El Salvador: they can keep it. Just make sure the MS-13 folks are confined there.”

You’re joking, right?

The Dems and radical left, their screaming fake news press, do not want a physical monument by which to remember PDJT as a great politician and protector of America. With the wall present they cannot erase PDJT from history, as they intend.

Its not about policy. The leftist hatred will stop, or it will be excoriated.

BUILD THAT WALL MR. PRESIDENT.

And Trump recently said/tweeted that his move out of Syria would free up billions for the wall...

Let’s hope you’re right ‘cause there’s a 50/50 chance we might be calling him, “Mister President”. And I do agree that when it comes to character and being a good Christian he appears to be sincere. (So did Sessions; I worry.)

The Brits tried to civilize the place centuries ago.
Then the Rooskies.

Let’s get out now.
The money could be better spent.

It’s the perfect “no-win” situation for Trump.

So, you are for the big-government, non-essential programs and jobs, just because it would be no good for Trump? How about it not being good for the people, and not being good for the budget, and not being good for the hard-working people who have to pony up for the non-essential waste?

The only way to get rid of waste and non-essential government programs, is to just do it and not worry about the politics. Remember that there are likely a lot more people interested on getting rid of waste than those that just want the political issue.

Trump will be gone in 6 years, and the non-essential and wasteful government programs will just be growing, with more to come, if nothing is done about it.

Great idea! Afghanistan is not working out well anyway.

~~~

I’m not a foreign interventionist, so I actually agree. Let China deal with Afghanistan and let Russia deal with Syria. Have fun boys.

But I promise you this, as soon as the next act of terrorist occurs that can even be tenuously linked to IS or Al Queda, the media will HHHEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPP the hell on Trump endlessly and say he caused it.

This happened to GWB after 911. It was all his fault, no matter how much of it really was and wasn’t his fault didn’t matter.

But I trust that Trump is nothing like GWB and will easily fight back against any such criticism.

...but I’m calling it now. Be ready

The problem is that politicians want to put other countries ahead of our country. It’s almost just that simple.

Look at the Foreign Aid Spending. 27 billion plus.

I've said for years that we should stop ALL foreign aid to EVERYONE immediately, then restore it on a case-by-case basis only when it provides a clear benefit to the United States.

>>Look at the Foreign Aid Spending. 27 billion plus. These elected pimps and prostitutes of ours have no honor nor care for the USA. Almost all never served one damn day in the military. Most are lawyers (men and women) with a few exceptions They are greedy lil SOB’s who want to fatten THEIR wallets. They use their elected office to SELL every damn vote to the highest bid.<<

Well and truly said. I see no effective way to get rid of the pimps and prostitutes until there is a third party that has the ability to draw enough disaffected voters away from the other parties to render them essentially powerless. Term limits however might also help to root out the greedy little SOBs.

Although he’s on the Trump train, he comes across as sort of a conductor quietly punching tickets.
