I just want to get a little bit of clarification:

Mexico is our allies, right? We import a few goods from Mexico, right?

This won't ruffle any feathers politically, right?

 

[Imperfected]

guys, it's just new fencing which they probably replace / add onto on occasion.

they're just saying it's a wall because they're idiotic base will believe anything.

Grow the Hedge! Grow the Hedge! Grow the Hedge!

Keep saying things like this...

 

[Krakatoa]

Does this need to pass the senate as well?

 

[sturgboski]

We are going to build the wall and American Taxpayers are going to pay for it either through appropriations or tariffs on imported goods!

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Looking at the actual wording, this appears to be only for some 60 miles or so of new fencing.
No wall.

THE FENCE JUST GOT 10 FEET LONGER.

 

[Media]

Can we have one day where Trump actually does something positive?

That would require him to have a soul.

 

[neorej]

Wow. That amount of money will build a wall so enormous, drug traffickers will be able to walk around it.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Trump is going to be our President for 7 more years. No impeachment will happen. His awful ideas will all come to fruition. Nothing will come from him rigging the election and teaming up with Russia during his campaign.

I'm starting to wonder if my donations to the ACLU are doing anything.

 

[TalonJH]

Welp

Should be posted with a date stamp. This aired in the year 2000. That's 18 years ago. It's insane.

Bad or sick dudes!

 

[Imperfected]

We will call it The Mediocre Fence of Texas.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Fuck republicans.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Who do you think will be cheaper for the Mexican Cartels to buy off, Border Control or the Coast Guard?

 

[Servbot24]

This makes me sick to my stomach. Imagine the good that could be done with that money.

 

[TheOMan]

Gotta launder that Russian money somehow.

 

[Anoregon]

Keep saying things like this...

$1.6B is not going to build anything close to the type of "border wall" Trump supporters have been imagining.

 

[sangreal]

this was a bill that they literally created just to say they passed it and make their base happy

they have no expectation of it going anywhere in the senate

this isn't wishful thinking -- they've said as much

it's nothing

It's fucking creepy, man.

 

[jelly]

I'm just waiting for Trump building contractors or his mafia pals to get the contracts...

What a joke. Get this scumbag out of office.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

The fiscal Conservative party folks.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Why pay off anyone. They can just walk around this fence or dig another tunnel.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

smfh

 

[Gurrry]

Damn, if only there were some sort of way to defeat a wall?

 

[psyfi]

We could be feeding and housing people with that money. Instead we bigotry and an even more militarized border.

 

[djkimothy]

I still find it hard to believe that polls show it's the democrats that are out of touch?

 

[NullPointer]

Does this include the solar panels?

 

[gatling]

So awful. Incredibly gross to know that people are all around us thinking this is okay. That all of this stuff is okay.

 

[yamo]

Build it Great Wall of China style or dont bother

 

[turmoil]

Can't wait for the rallies at the wall

 

[Rayis]

Let him try to build his stupid wall, we'll see if he has it in him to complete it

and then he can shove it up his...

 

[Locke562]

The wall just got ten feet deeper.

 

[samoscratch]

Hate these pigs.

He ran in 2000

 

[Anticol]

Enjoy your wall guys, oh and enjoy watching your taxes fundindg it.

 

[Maxinas]

Yeah, more than half the population that didn't vote for Trump deserves to get fucked.

I don't see any Venezuelan level protests going on trying to get him kicked out of office by this large population you speak off. There are already reports of low voter turnout for the midterms next year. Maybe people aren't trying hard enough ¯\_(&#12484_/¯.

 

[Foffy]

I look at that number and wonder how many UBI pilots the country could make with that...

That would be solving real problems.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

It's sad it got to this point - immagration needs to be addressed and obviously letting people in illegal is not what the country wants. If you want to streamline the process do so, but don't say we're not going to obey existing laws on the books. A comprehensive immigration and reform package would have been money way better spent!

 

[Seik]

:lol

On point. What a massive waste of money that could be used in so many other constructive ways.

And to think this is only the beginning.

 

[NullPointer]

Are they going to convert those dollars into pesos first?

 

[Ithil]

Frankly I think the thread title needs to be changed, saying it's for "Trump's wall" is completely misleading. It's only for 60 miles of new fencing.

 

[hobozero]

Most of this is going to go towards "planning" and "management studies" - make no mistake, some people are gonna get stupid rich off this wall, even if they never lay one brick. Companies will be paid for risk assessments, and planning meetings, and management consulting, etc etc etc. That $1.6 billion is as looted as the $23 billion Russia "paid" for the Sochi Olympics.

 

[Dai101]

Yeah, more than half the population that didn't vote for Trump deserves to get fucked.

 

[jay]

The people who make the least in the country surely have the largest affect and wield the most power.

 

[Fercho]

Ha!!! Bring it on fucker, build it. Mexicans need a common enemy, maybe with this we can at least unite for something.

 

[Imperfected]

If you need some help with the pinatas, we've got something lying around in the White House that's completely indistinguishable from Donald Trump.

Good idea for the upcoming Independence day and Holidays.

Yeah, I'm of this mind too. I've lost the capacity for optimism.

 

[John Rabbit]

I'm starting to wonder if my donations to the ACLU are doing anything.

What exactly do you think the ACLU does? How exactly is the ACLU going to fight the construction of 60 miles of border fencing? What American Civil Liberties are being infringed by that?

I get feeling hopeless and cynical, but the ACLU is not some superhero who's going to eventually kick the Oval Office doors in and drag Trump into the street.

Wait, that's real? Holy shit...
