Time to hold on for dear life until the 2018 midterms. Donate to PP and the ACLU.

Corbeau posted:Except there's no chance of a dem wave in 2018 because of the seats up for re-election. In the Senate yes there's very little chance of gaining but they can make gains in the House and perhaps most importantly on the state level. Remember, every mid term election save one has seen the opposing party gain seats at every level going back to the 40s.

Considering how the majority of the "wall" will be fences and the rest probably constructed in part with prison labor how will this project put more then a small dent into the domestic economy? We all know this poo poo is going to be done as cheap and halfassed as possible as is the conservative way. Hell even if they actually did build a full length wall (which they wont) I can't imagine it costing more than a refurbishment of a couple national highways. Which yeah, would put a bunch of people to work but again not enough to improve the economic standing. 8-10 billion is chump change especially since most will get pocketed by whoever in charge. This poo poo is just going to be one big racist vanity project that wastes a lot of money and time not some economic miracle that will present Trump as the savior of the nation. You'd need an infrastructure program literally two magnitudes more expensive than the Wall to do that. Shimrra Jamaane fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Jan 6, 2017 |

There's gonna be like a 10 mile stretch of an actual fortified wall and the other 3000 miles will be whatever poo poo that's already there but maybe patched up a bit. All built by

That system has utterly broken down. The government is now run by people who don't care about decorum, aren't governing in good faith, and are actively destroying parts of government that aren't personally enriching them. Yeah this is a pretty rose tinted view of early American politics, especially during Antebellum
