How about we stop talking about charging people $10B for a wall and drop $50M and fix the water situation in Flint first?
- But clean water wouldn't keep out 30million illegal aliens per year. Murikkka who bring drugs, and guns, and drug guns that shoot drugs.hobgoblin
- Last I checked, it's not rocket science scaling a wall (fence).monospaced
- You could raise the wall tax to 20.05% to fix that water crisis in Flint.********
- stfu donnymonospaced
- I heard the outside part of the wall will have a constant stream a baby oil pouring down from it to inhibit climbers.hobgoblin
- lol********
- That and hundreds of thousands of automated brooms at the top swishing back and forth to knock down drug drones™ from flying overhobgoblin
- it's not just Flint. If you think the plumbing systems are any better across the entire Rust Belt (apply named) you'd be wrong and crumbling infrastructure********
- across most American cities and small towns. that's a FAR greater issue.********
- stfu donnyhobgoblin
- I used Flint as an example everyone could understand. But yeah, Trump looks like a total jackass talking about a $20B wall when we have national plumbing issuesmonospaced
- 1. Even illegal immigrants generate more wealth than they take.
2. A wall can be bypassed very easily as the fence is now (tunnels dimwits) - does the wall comefadein11 - with 5 guards patrolling each 100m section - erm nope.
3. Stop focussing on this shit ass wall distraction. Your liberties are about to be removed while hefadein11 - rambles about a wall.
4. R.I.P. American Dream. It's been on it's deathbed for a long time but it's time to say goodbye.fadein11 - lol. why did you stop fantasizing about your wall. 5 guards patrolling... continue.********

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., accused President Trump of repeatedly lying to the American people and using propaganda to stir confusion and mislead the public.
In a Thursday night interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Booker said the media coverage of Trump should resemble reporting on any other politician. He argued that liars should be called “liars” and propaganda should be called “propaganda.”
“I don’t understand why the media is treating Donald Trump with such kid gloves. These are not ‘untruths.’ These are not ‘alternate facts.’ These are lies and propaganda,” Booker said.
“We have seen the president of the United States and his officials repeatedly lying to the American public and pushing out ... what could be called propaganda to mislead the public. He needs to be called on it, and we as the American public should not accept a president that routinely lies blatantly to the American people.”

T-minus 2 hours until Trump tweets a temper-tantrum like response.
- like any good politician********
- for a moment, forget he's a D politician and read those words. I'll ask you... do you believe Trump has mislead and lied?hobgoblin
- I don't believe he's lying. Actually, I'm very, very surprised he is signing these executive orders to do what he promised. VERY surprised.********
- as for propaganda, isn't that fair game? don't they all use it. Did Obama or W or Clinton?********
- So you believe his inauguration was the biggest ever? You believe Pizzagate?hobgoblin
- depends on how you define biggest. in terms of attendance (physical), or viewers. how many different apps and devices? hard to say there********
- Pizzagate definitely not. That's clown shit. DJT is going to use whatever he can to get reelected.********
- You gotta be shitting me. Why do I even bother. it's like talking to a goddamn child with you.hobgoblin
- If you can't look at two similar photos and see one has more people than the other than you are a bigger dipshit than I ever imagined.hobgoblin
- WTF are you talking about? Spicer was referring to the total viewership. Not the piss party charade of showing up on the lawn. You got time for that?********
- I for one think those that have JOBS, yes JOBS do not have the time to show up at an inauguration. WTF does it prove?********
- Trump says that 90M people are unemployed. He's the 'jobs' champion. Quit acting like R's have jobs and D's don't.mathinc
- No he was talking about physical attendance. If you actually heard him he spoke about people standing in certain places. Derp.monospaced
- You're a fucking asshole, Yuri. Can't answer a straight question about the inauguration, you just reply with obfuscation and shite. Fuck off.BuddhaHat
- Spicer was talking specifically about the number of people physically there. Clearly you didn't hear him at the press conference. He mentioned specific numbersmonospaced
- He was replying directly to the FACT being reported that not many people showed up. Apparently that really triggers Trump AND You.monospaced
- enough with you lot alternative facts, this is exactly the fact that started that termmonospaced
- oh dear - veratard is getting triggered over numbers on lawn, much like his saviour. wow, just wow. should be celebrating bro.fadein11

- People who oppose gay marriage aren't homophobic?********
- not necessarily, there lies the problem. you just assumed the same, point proven dude.********
- I guess that sounds a lot better than "we took his pandering hook line and sinker"hobgoblin
- He forgot to mention the War on Christmashobgoblin
- those fucking mid-westerners and their values. goddamn former Democrats!!!!!********
- ^^ war on christmas, yes good one, he did!********
- I don't really believe there's a war on christmas. it's just other groups feel left out (jews, kwanza crap, etc.) and not enough room for all (marketing).********
- like i said before your wealth is what makes uneducated people lazy and dumb as fuck to support the louderst ass. it has nothing to do with social acceptancested
- tldr; Trump happened cuz liberuls sound pompous and faggy12xu
- the "war on Christmas" was a joke idiot. anyone who thinks there is a war on an 800billion dollar a year industry is a fucking dolt.hobgoblin
- idiot?********
- Who called you an idiot?hobgoblin
- lol at non christians feeling left outmonospaced
- So basically this guy is saying that Trump won because people are sick of being told they can't continue being hateful and discriminatory. We knew that.monospaced
- upvoting this post does not equal upvoting trumpdrgs
- that's the issue. you deem them as being hateful and discriminatory based upon subjective markers. it's WHY they voted for Trump.********
- right, because he supports the right to continue being hateful and discriminatory, and considering christianity is involved in so much of it, total hypocrites.monospaced
- we KNOW that's why he won, it's not news, yet you repeat it every day heremonospaced
- So basically people voted for Trump because they were angry about irrelevant bullshit.yuekit
- I'm still struggling with the idea that people voted for trump because Obama liked drones and killed people.fadein11

Apparently the feminist of the womens march don't give a rats ass about the environment.
- This photo clearly shows the march before it began when the women hadn't picked up their pre-made signs yet. Don't be ridiculous.hobgoblin
- Here you go dum_dum: http://www.snopes.co…mathinc
- they left their pre-made signs on the ground, in an attempt to pick them up at a later time period??? I'm not buying that shit********
- what a bunch of pigs!********
- Must be exhausting logging in and out of accounts you psychopath.mathinc
- great, then it's fucking littering, either way WAY TO GO, you fucking idiots.********
- thanks for costing the local tax payers even more money having to pick up after you. sounds like the protesters breaking up public property. //SMART!********
- wow - 3 kilos of paper gonna destroy the environment you fucking retard.fadein11
- yeah... I'm sure these guys cleaned up after themselves.
http://c8.alamy.com/…hobgoblin - omg_vero_jazx if you're so worried about littering and saving the environment why aren't you against the Dakota pipeline? Hmmm... no need to respond.hobgoblin
- Transition to clean energy requires money and establishing small oil reserves. I just hope they ensure that those pipes do not bust, crack or leak********
- Pipes that could bust, crack, or leak = cool
3 kilos of paper = environmental disaster
Got it.hobgoblin - They were encouraged to leave signs so that they could be collected and examples kept for reference / galleries / exhibitions.see_thru

Trump smirks and scoffs when a BBC reporter takes him to task about torture, abortion and banning Muslims:
- he is a disgusting person.lowimpakt
- what a nasty fucking piece of shit. same goes for anyone who supports a President with behaviour like that. he's a national disgrace and a blight on humanity.BuddhaHat
- next news headline will be: all BBC reporters banned from entering the US after asking serious question to giant orange douchebagBuddhaHat
- According to rumour Trump is actually Muslim! Lot's of evidence including, 3 wives, doesn't drink and treats women badly... https://www.youtube.…robotron3k

I'm going insane trying to understand this damn 20 percent tax on imports from Mexico!
So does trump plan on a 20 percent tax on goods from Mexico mean that if Mexico sells us 1000 avocados for $500 they will now only get $400 from us? Or does it mean that the 1000 avocados will now cost us $600. How is that good? Is it because now we may buy California Avocados because they are about the same price?
So how would that work if I want to buy Tequila from Mexico? Do I pay $120 per bottle at Costco instead of the $100 per bottle I used to pay at Costco? And am I stuck paying that because Arizona or California do not make Tequila??
And so what about the Korean TVs made in Tijuana (Samsung) and the German Cars made in Mexico (Mercedes), do they go up in price to us? How do we Americans get around not having to pay extra for those two brands? How would this motivate Mexico to pay for the wall??
And how is this different then when Americans were up in arms because England wanted to tax Americans for tea from India? Is it because at that time England was going to get the extra tax money and in this case it goes back to our federal government? To fund projects like the wall? That means we are still paying for the fucking wall!! It makes no sense.
I really hope this was just Trump talking out of his ass making a super complicated thing in to a simpleton tagline and there is actually a lot more thought put in to it.
- Trying to make sense of the whims of an idiot man-child is an exercise in futility. It makes no economic sense whatsoever, and illustrates the orange clown's...BuddhaHat
- total lack of comprehension of the intricacies of foreign trade.BuddhaHat
- Prices for fruit, veg, cars, plant & equipment, booze, all sky-rocket as a result of this plan. It's even unlikely to create additional jobs in the US.BuddhaHat
- Approx 6 million US jobs depend on trade with Mexico.BuddhaHat
- I think Economics is a fascinating field and I would like to understand how this would work. Unfortunately I don't think we have enough info...HijoDMaite
- Prices go up inordinately, disposable income drops, economic activity drops, economy slows, uncertainty increases ---> recession/depression...BuddhaHat
- from the administration as to what exactly they meant when Spicer mentioned that 20% number.HijoDMaite
- 80% of Mexico's exports go to the US, so that would significantly dampen economic activity in Mexico as well. It's the opposite of intelligent economic policy.BuddhaHat
- The idea that was originally floated was a 20% tariff on 'goods from Mexico'... that covers everything.BuddhaHat
- He could also cut funds to Mexico or do a remittance tax and make an easy 2 billion on money sent out of the USA to Mexico.robotron3k
- The point is it is suppose to hurt Mexico and there fore they cave. But I still don't see how it hurts Mexico.HijoDMaite
- I know there are a bunch of ways but i was just focused on this 20 percent idea.HijoDMaite
- I'm guessing it would be like any an import tax. Where the buyer pays the import tax, which then sells it to the consumer at a higher cost.********
- I've seen this in action in the UK. where heavy custom taxes and duties are imposed on items imported from the US********
- Usually this causes the customer to shun the higher cost item for a lower cost competitor. Sales from Mexico would drop, allowing other competitors to take over********
- Setting up shop in America would create many financial advantages compared to Mexico.********
- In addition to cost. It would also prevent drugs from being smuggled from Mexico to the US. Recently 3000lbs of pot disguised as watermelons was seized by US.********
- This could also have environmental advances as transportation could be better centralized to fulfill shipments within the USA********
- Items from Mexico can go from $5 to $6 to the consumer. However items can transition to $3.90 with a 35% discount.********
- omg - you haven't seen anything in the action in the UK you dimwit. you haven't left your basement. Fox News isn't life experience.fadein11
