Trump says he could use emergency powers to build border wall
To save his Presidency, this is what Trump MUST do. He really has no other option.
Naturally, the Swamp will use the Marxist courts to stop him, but the message will have been sent to the voters.
It's the Swamp and Trump and the voters who put Trump in place to build the wall.
Otherwise, he will look like he either part of the Swamp or has cowered to it.
Now the courts Don has packed are "Marxist" [shudder]. America has lost its fuggin' mind. If Don is that scared he can build a wall around his crime family like that climate change wall he built around his golf course in Scotland.
People in the US die of drug over doses at a rate of 200 per day.
You may think it trivial, but the government's responsibility is to stop the drugs flowing across the border.
See Purdue Pharma, etc. if you wish to get into the opioid thing V, but those don't come from over "there". Health insurance pays for those, lots, meaning we do via health insurance. Still lots though. Shouldn't we stand for personal responsibility, and do so legislatively? Aren't we coddling the consumer base and enabling/encouraging them? We have the greatest and most expansive prison system in the world, with a for profit component and stock traded on Wall Street. Why aren't we arresting and charging them? Not like we have a problem locking tons of people up, do it all the time, we lead the planet in that. Surely you've heard the 5/25 bit, I won't bore you with that statistic. Is this maybe a more white crowd? Why would the government, I mean, how the? The government I always heard/hear about wouldn't stand for that. But they do. And they stand for lead and other toxins in the public water supply, and not just Flint. Saves someone money. Sounds like "going after" prostitution as a trade, but not the johns. Kinda the same feel don't you think? Could go on forever. Aren't we in a sense helping to create white ghettos and sacrifice zones like we did, societally/historically, with/to other groupings who became either no longer required, or in the way, of some vision of progress someone else had? See Appalachia, took the money and run. Sacrifice zone. And when have we ever, like, always and forever had war? All over? That has no end? And when have we ever before militarized the police like we do now? Trained by the Israeli military in how to control a society. Durham, NC just managed to cockblock that as a city. Took people there getting up and dong something. Together.
Do you believe ..., well wait. About "believe", before I ask the question. I know we're all really big on "believe" in america, I've moved away from the word. I mean I'm in recovery and shit, it'll slip, but I consciously try to avoid the word. Because to "believe" is to be done thinking about it, so I try to not just believe, I need to think. My creator gave me that, I don't believe he gave it to me to give away. Whatever you pray to, however you see your creator if you have one, the gift was your intelligence. So in short, don't piss it away, you dishonor your creator, it's your medicine.
So to try to ask this seriously from a polite perspective, do you think/believe that this wall thing will end with the "scary" border with Mexico if we let them get started on this? Your society has been militarized. Anxiety jacked up all over the place, one "emergency" away from a crackdown, and wound tight.
I can't join you in letting folk like that start building walls around me.
