Give Him the Money for the Wall

And by HIM, I mean the Orange Buffoon who will become the first ex-President to eventually get to wear orange jumpsuits at the pleasure of the government he once misled.

I've become convinced that the Democrats should only commit to impeachment if they get evidence of treason that is strong enough that even blinkered Republicans can't deny it. And that requires IMMEDIATE ACTION. Otherwise, leave him in place as the punching dummy he is in actual life. NOTE: #FakeNews will be replaced by #PelosiPummelsPresident as the most popular political hashtag of the year.

Now to the wall. Here's the deal I offer. You commit to a half billion or so for feasibility studies that will be intended to schedule building of the 'wall'/metal barrier in one-mile lengths and in what order the actual construction should be built. Say, build a hundred mile stretch in Texas, then 125 in Arizona, etc. Plus, the Democrats throw in EXACTLY the money he's asking for, for enhanced security along sea walls, ports of entry and tunnel-making. Plus money for agents and judges, etc. Make it 5.700000001 dollars so that it is a buck MORE than what Comrade Donald is asking for.

Now the catnip for the grabber. Add 50 BILLION in actual construction costs, held in escrow, with actual construction released to start the day after Inauguration Day in January 2021. Throw in a position that the President HAS to ratify any spending (Extension) bill that garners FIFTY-FIVE percent of each chamber of Congress, down from sixty, And you have a deal. And he can't shut down government ever again this way and he gets his wall money and it'll never happen. Cuz the first thing the new President does on Inauguration Day is to cancel the wall, pending investigation as to where extending barriers, repairing barriers and replacing barriers is indicated as wise policy. There WILL be spots where that will be true.

President Small Hands gets painted into a corner of betting on himself, just as he did before the many bankruptcies and the idea that he could get away discriminating against minority renters back in the day (twice, resulting in huge fines to avoid a criminal record ... a case of fighting off inevitability if there ever was a better case!). He claims the majority of Americans are with him on the wall. He makes the election a one-issue contest and he'll lose by spectacular amounts. S.P.E.C.T.A.C.U.L.A.R. He'll be lucky to get fourty percent nationally. He won't get Reagan'd by Harris or Booker or whoever comes at him from the right side of history. But he'll only carry the states with the dumbest white nationalists and the spectacularly uniformed Southerners. Let's call the over/under eight and a half. And I'll take the under.

The Democrat slogan ... NO! to the Monument to Stupidity and NO! to four more years with no leadership!!! And point out the wall will cost EACH AMERICAN, children included, $150 bucks a head. And I'm guessing that the wall won't cost any where NEAR that little of money. I've seen guesstimations of near 75 Billion and real life should make that a small hole in the large hole he wants built as a place to hang his name again.

Look, populism led we Ontarians to the unwise decision to elect our own fool of a premier. Hatred for staid policies from entrenched Liberals (plus stupidity and/or criminality) prompted the electorate of the province to forego the smart move of minority government (aka, no king-making rule by fiat) and put a city bumpkin of Pumpkin's proportions in power for five long years. It'll get corrected as the teeter-totter of Canadian politics rights itself. So, I feel for my friends in America. You get to fix the "What have you got to lose?" mistake sooner than we do.

Just promise the pig-eyed Prince of the SpaceForce the moon for 2021. He ego will force him to accept and call it a HUUUUUUGE win for him. Fool that he is.

He won't be President two years from today. The question is, will he be wearing that clashing shade of orange by then? The over/under on that is less than four years from today.

Take the under.
