Schumer's plan to stop the wall

Schumer's plan to stop the wall

    Jonathan Swan 59 mins ago

    Chuck Schumer has concluded that denying President Trump his wall is perhaps the surest major defeat Democrats can hand the President in his first year.

    Trump needs 60 Senate votes to fund construction of his "great wall" along the Southern border. Unlike healthcare or tax reform, Republicans can't use the budget process to ram the wall funding through Congress using only Republican votes.

    Schumer's thinking: There's nothing the Republicans would be willing to offer that could get Trump the eight Democratic Senators he needs to fund the wall. Mitch McConnell's only other option would be to invoke the nuclear option and bypass the filibuster. But Democratic appropriators are betting the Republican leader won't be willing to undermine such a fundamental Senate tradition just to pay for Trump's wall.

I'm sick of hearing about this joke of a wall. It's a giant money pit - frivolous government spending as it is currently envisioned.

Why? Because until our government has the will to top a wall with razor wire, it just goes to show that the whole thing is just more Kabuki theater. They don't really want to keep anyone out, just say they build a wall. A wall that just about anyone could scale with some ease.

All at the YUGE expense to the taxpayer.

When will people ever learn? Everything they do in Washington is a giant load of BS. "We want to repeal Obamacare! Here's a bill, Obama! Oh? He vetoed it? How dare he!" Now we have president Trump and they can't even send the same bill that was vetoed before. Why? Because it is BS.

"We're Republicans and we don't want to raise the debt ceiling! Psst... hey... let's all allow a vote that lets the Democrats do it on a simple majority. Then we can all vote 'nay' and say we opposed it, but it happens anyway. Muwhahaha. Voters are suckers."

Liars. All of them. Enjoy your "wall," Trumpists. In the end, it won't stop anyone.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

I thought the money for the wall had been allocated during the reign of Dubjy.  What happened to it?

Ask Schumer.
