EA examine the time stamps and sequence of our posts. Tell me what you're talking about when you say,

I had my reply post up before you wrote a second post saying that. You probably could've inferred that from my post. Wait. I don't think I did that right. You probably could've inferred that from my post. Is that better?

I quoted your post saying you didn't understand what something was, went back to it maybe 15 minutes or so later, and wrote a brief reply explaining it. For that, you wrote a condescending reply to me because you apparently wrote something some time after you wrote the original post saying you looked it up.

This is indeed keeping with your personality. So is this post here.

President Trump still wants a big concrete border wall.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Mexico is paying for the Wall through the new USMCA Trade Deal. Much of the Wall has already been fully renovated or built. We have done a lot of work. $5.6 Billion Dollars that House has approved is very little in comparison to the benefits of National Security. Quick payback!


The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement has not even been approved by Congress, and even if it is, it will not result in Mexico paying for the wall.

A Cuckservative will believe anything this guy has to say about anything. Trump, "I secured the border." Trump an hour later, "I need billions for a wall to secure the border."

If Mexico is paying for the wall why is the government shut down?

Because we have to show China that they need us more than we need them by borrowing money from them to fund the spending bill in order to pay for the wall that Mexico is paying for by making American citizens pay more for goods.

Even if conservatives fund the wall with a Gofundme account, you still need congressional approval. This has nothing to do with money. It's about people who want the border enforced and people who want to keep it open and unenforced. That's what the fight is about.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You also need land to build the wall on and in addition to that land not being available without seizing it from private property holders, it would also cut off access to natural habitat for people and fauna in the area. I hear we share a major river system with Mexico as a substantial part of our border, but that might be a rumor.

The idea that the wall can realistically be funded with a gofundme raiser is so utterly ludicrous that it's almost sad that you think it's legitimate. It's like you can't process differences of magnitude in numbers. You are talking about an amount of wealth that dwarfs total spending on campaigning in presidential election years. You think a unpopular political pet-cause that is largely symbolic to anyone who even half-understands the issue is going to raise that?
