I'm curious - has trump enacted that loony plan that was on his website to get Mexico to pay for the wall that was meant to start on day 1 of his term?
He is asking Congress to approve paying for it first, then will ask Mexico to reimburse once it is complete
So pfffffffffffhahahahahahahahahahaha
What construction company would want the job? You know they are only going to get a small percentage of what was promised and told to wait for Mexico to pay up for the rest.
You think they are actually going to get Mexico to pay for it? bwahahaha.
Here's how it's going to go.
Congress approves (hopefully not).
Contract goes out to someone that is selected (probably with strangely close ties to Trump in some way).
Job starts, and the costs spiral completely out of control for years, if not decades, all on the taxpayers dime.
This is presented with "alternative facts" so that it doesn't look bad.
Mexico never pays for anything, but there's lots to talk about how Trump is leveraging trade deals or whatever to recoup costs even when the reality is they are doing absolutely nothing.
Maybe they slip in a few more, "oh, you can't count this debt as real debt" somewhere so that they can claim that they made back money.
In the end, it won't matter. If they ultimately go through with it, it's going to be a colossal expense that is 100% going to come out of our pocketbooks, and no one elses, and will be lining the pockets of any company involved for many years to come.
They might hire a few small no name ones for parts to throw to the wolves for cost overruns, but that's the most I'd expect to happen.
Don't forget them forcing the CBO to not actually count the costs as part of the budget....and then Trump will refuse to pay the contractors anyway
I had breakfast recently with a friend who's a former Republican member of Congress. Here's what he said:
Him: Trump is no Republican. He’s just a big fat ego.
Me: Then why didn’t you speak out against him during the campaign?
Him: You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.
Me: So what now? What are your former Republican colleagues going to do?
Him (smirking): They’ll play along for a while.
Me: A while?
Him: They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.
Me: And then what?
Him (laughing): They like Pence.
Me: What do you mean?
Him: Pence is their guy. They all think Trump is out of his mind.
Me: So what?
Him: So the moment Trump does something really dumb – steps over the line – violates the law in a big stupid clumsy way … and you know he will ...
Me: They impeach him?
Him: You bet. They pull the trigger.
I think he's giving the congressional GOP too much credit.
I think they are giving america too little credit also.
I'm mildly concerned that if this happens in ~3 years, the honeymoon of "oh thank christ Trump's gone" will let Pence win the next election.
How is a lawful evil cardboard figure, with no likeable positions nor charisma at all, going to win anything? Democrats nominating Nigel Farage for 2020?

Though the greater concern is Trump purging the Republicans and replacing the party apparatus with loyalists. Hindenburg always though he was the one in control of the populist demagogue, after all.
If this happens in three years then they will own every decision Trump made and they supported in the mean time and it will not be kind to them. I mean look at that list. Forget whatever horrible thing Trump does that crosses the line what about that list? When they come for SS and Medicare and the other poverty programs they are going to finally discoverer how divisive and dangerous those topics are. People around here used to think that the GOP avoided doing anything about those things because they knew that while the base would love it everybody else will be out for blood but apparently they don't. Apparently they want to let him do that well I don't think America will forget who gave us Trump and who stood by him for far longer than he should.
McCain Will Vote Yes on Trump's Secretary of State Nominee Rex Tillerson
"Listen, this wasn't an easy call. But I also believe that when there's doubt the president, the incoming president, gets the benefit of the doubt, and that's the way I've treated every president that I've had the obligation to vote for or against as a member of the United States Senate."
What a load of cowardly bull. Exactly what I would expect from McCain.
"Oh I'm a very reasonable Republican, unlike Trump. Not that I disagree with literally any iota of what he does, what he plans to do, or who he is in any manner. But I do disagree with being called unreasonable, and that's what really distinguishes me."

There's something abhorrent about that attitude that I can't put a name to.
Part of which is that somehow Trump is not a True Republican even if he toes the party line and gives them everything they want.
Maybe I'm just disgusted that this unnamed ex-Congressman believes that he's better than Trump. I guess they disapprove of crassness except when they're the direct beneficiaries of it.

Will they make Trump the scapegoat or Muslims/Hispanics/LGBT/scientists/feminists/etc? They could eat their plagiarized cake and have it too, all while turning people against each other instead of them.
"We'll build this guy up like some god-king religious figure that can literally do no wrong and give our voters everything they could ever want, then we'll just toss him out" seems like an exceptionally stupid plan.
If he does get completely out of line and need reigning in, he will turn his followers against them.
And if people thought being primary'd from the Right by the Tea Party was obnoxious, they haven't been paying attention to his little Twitter/Reddit/4Chan army.
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

I'm am just never ever ever going to believe another one of these "was talking to my GOP friend and he said..." or "holy shit guys you won't BELIEVE how deep this Russia stuff goes" or whatever fucking click-baity tweet or facebook post these people put out. The beltway press failed in every way in 2016 and we all bought it hook line and sinker because we thought Trump was such a joke.
Guess what, CNN, Fox, New York Times, fucking AP--now he's president, and it's no thanks to you. I'll believe Trump's impeachment when it's on the front page of the Washington Post--ironically the only major outlet that did good work last year.
Also rampant and unabashed voter suppression. Who's going to stop them now? SCOTUS?
Repeating what I've said in another thread: we need another Voter Education Project like from the 1960s Civil Rights era. They faced ludicrous voter suppression, worse than what we have now, but had a large enough group apparatus to fight back.
Honestly the thing about the Reich that pisses me off the most is that the republicans are supposedly super happy that they'll get to do all the awful shit that they want to do and when it goes bad, which he's purporting this guy knows it will, they can blame Trump and just be right on track like usual.
At that point I could care less about Trump, the GOP are knowingly looting the country and couldn't care less. If this meeting is real then that's what people should be mad about the most.
Let's not use Godwin's Law in a mistaken way to ignore the actual fucking Nazis in the White House.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.
EDIT: Note that the National Security Advisor gets literally everything, so if we were in fact leaking things to Russia that would be a gigantic deal.

Even the most extremely pro-Palestinean and internationally recognized peace agreement would give them East Jerusalem only.

Its not exactly insanity. This is textbook, "How Social Media will affect millennials in Politics". Nobody years ago including Splicer could of predicted that he'd be where he is at today. I won't join the hate train for this one. We all posted stupid shit on social media before. Its just that his posting stupid shit and entering the spotlight is new, and that's why these status are strange to everyone.

That doesn't matter, though. Like, everybody has at some point cut somebody off in traffic, but if it comes out that Spicer once cut somebody off in traffic we might as well yell "god what a fucking asshole! What kind of person cuts somebody off in traffic?" because
1, the ultimate goal here is to embarrass and discredit this administration
2, if the situation were reversed the right wouldn't hesitate and Clinton's press secretary CJ Craig would be CJ "Dippin' Dots" Craig on Fox News forever and conservatives would roll coal down the street to take selfies of themselves defiantly scarfing on Dippin' Dots just to show liberals who the real Americans are because only patriots support the ice cream of the future and Democrats' heads would be exploding over the pettiness and there would be many long-winded forum posts about how Dippin' Dots contributes only to non-intersectional feminism and so they deserve to be boycotted and none of those lefty reactions would stop CNN from asking about Dippin' Dots at every WH press briefing from now until the end of time
So we might as well stop leaving weapons on the table, no matter how small or stupid, because the ultimate goal is to embarrass and discredit this administration, and if making them look foolish also makes me look foolish I'll have all the photographs of all the lives saved when the next election goes the other way to comfort me in my foolishness.
I mean, Dippin' Dots isn't going to bring down Trump, but you can't build a wall without bricks. This is a very minor example of the sort of shit the Democrats need to be prepared to embrace. We need to a little bit unfair. A teensy bit petty. We need to withhold the benefit of the doubt from our enemies, because they will not extend it to us, and the stakes are too high to wholly prioritize purity of method over efficacy of attack.
I'm surprised no one tried to popularize the nickname "Traitor Trump" when all the Russia shit was first breaking, everyone was too focused on the piss story and not the more important bullshit.
Julia Hahn, a staff writer at Breitbart News, is expected to join the White House – a move that further underscores Breitbart’s influence in the new administration.
According to two sources briefed on the move, Hahn’s title will be special assistant to the president and she is expected to primarily work under White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, himself a former key player at Breitbart. Prior to joining Trump’s campaign, Bannon, an outspoken populist and member of the president’s inner circle, was chairman of the conservative website.
