I still want to know why the Republicans did not give Trump his wall when they held both houses of Congress.
Plenty of neocons that love cheap labor?

I didn't say anything about NPR or PP and neither has Trump in his wall deal discussions. They're completely irrelevant here.
You've got a stick up your ass about the cost and we've already discussed this - Trump's request is in line with Schumer asked for back in '13. I'm not going to get into a stupid argument over the exact costs here - it's a dumb argument. If you really think that $5.7b out of a $4.4t budget isn't enough, let's make it $10b. Or $20b. Idfk, it's still a tiny percentage.
You must be immune to the irony, we can't "do the math" because the cost is currently unknown. You are just making shit up, point to a final price tag and then we can talk about doing the math, until then, you are only talking about earnest money, which is not the end cost.It's 1 773rd of the total budget. Do the math.
In Nogales, AZ, a town that already has a wall on the Mexican and American border, the troops have put up so much concertina wire that the town is considering suing the government to take it down, according to the Washington Post.
This week, Nogales’ city council passed a resolution opposing the razor wire and demanding it be removed. It includes a threat to sue the government if the wire is not removed.
They have installed 80 miles of concertina wire, according to William Speaks, a Defense Department spokesman. The deployment has so far cost $132 million, but that number may rise to $1 billion by the end of the year.
Ok there Nostradamus Predictably you've got NOTHING to say about my actual post so you go for the personal attack instead. This isn't complicated - granny Warren has lied her entire life about her race in order to get ahead. But I get it, Trump's schedule that you don't understand now clearly more important
"Fauxcahontas" very clever, but still racist
I'm not deflecting - there's just nothing else to add when you keep ignoring facts that support physical barriers being effective; the fact that leading Dems have supported physical barriers; the fact that $5.7b is not something I "pulled out of my ass" but what POTUS is seeking and is in line with what leading Dems have sought; etc. Orange man is bad for you and no amount of facts or logic will change that.
So yes, I'm changing the topic and all you've managed to get out of this is that "being a grandparent is bad". Stop being so butthurt and focus on the actual issues, okay little buddy? Or is this post somehow going to chafe your delicate cheeks too?
It was racist when trump used "Pocahontas" as a slur; evolving that and continuing to use it as a slur is still racist. There's no "microaggression" bullshit here, that use was intentionally derogatory.
Is it racist to call someone a racial slur if they don't belong to that race?So, are you saying it's okay to call her racist names or not?
