Ah ha. Movement. Speaking of "movement", I hear the 'chukelosi clown team' is doing round 2 right now on some network. You know, talking to the "real Americans". After their poor performance last night. Guess their writers were burning the mid night oil huh?

I was thinking of some “other kind of movement” from the two of them. A movement that requires a bathroom!

There is a utility to making faux-centrist weasels like Conor Lamb squirm and sweat this one.

Inhofe said the Wall Act “fully funds the wall by assessing penalties on illegal immigration and closing loopholes that allow unauthorized immigrants to receive federal benefits, protecting the integrity of hardworking American citizens’ tax dollars. It’s that simple.”

No, you add a 10% tax to the first $5,000 of all out-of-country wire transfers.

It's that simple.

Unfortunately, that is as good as it will get. The leftist dems presently control the circumstances of what is passed in our Legislative branch, if anything at all is passed, and the Wall doesn't fit into their agenda.

I am also stunned by the size of Government, but remember that 75% of the government budget funded does not necessarily equate to 75% of government workers are funded.
