I am now convinced that the Tangerine Turdlicker is obsessing over the wall because...

it's the only issue he has any understanding of. Regardless of his braggadocio, he knows nothing about international relations. economics, military actions, or much of anything else. And he has no interest in learning.

But a wall is easy. Everyone knows what a wall is, so he doesn't even have to learn enough about it to explain it.

He feels it in his gut, and let me tell you that gut covers a lot.

we are not going to build a wall with his name on it. I don't care how long he throws a tantrum, we're not going to cave into his b.s. Congress will override his ass tomorrow and reopen the gov't.

I think it was in one of Al Franken’s books.

What is eight inches long and dangles in front of an a—hole?

Rush Limbaugh’s tie.

authoritarians have an addiction to certainty, they need it more than liberals. the more they need it the easier harmless uncertainties turn into stress and fear.

since nothing is certain they have to make it up, like with walls. one side diseased drugged brown foreign hordes and the other good white amurcans.

the issue is complicated with many uncertainties to avoid but the wall helps judge in absolutes and create certainty - black or white, good or evil, etc.

it's a major symptom of sex on the wrong brain, which is caused by mixing sex and logic, which is caused by masturbating with the hand connected to the left side of the brain

Along with a healthy skim off the top into his own pockets.

That's all he cares about. That's how he rolls.

That's really all he cares about. If Russian steel companies make money, great. He will take a little money off the top, though, as president of the US. I mean, the whole deal wouldn't have happened if he weren't our elected leader.

He's asserting his dominance over the Democratic Congress.

The scary thing is what else he will do to us under this cover? Will he declare that freedom of the press is no longer valid during the national crisis and arrest some journalists, will he start a huge public round up of all Hispanic, Arabic and black people and make them prove their citizenship before they get released while he's paying (himself) and DeVos $750 day/per person? You know he won't stop with the wall, but how far will he go? Will he declare that the House is a den of foreign terrorists and shut it down, will he say that he can spend whatever he wants or anything he wants because of the crisis?

I just don't see how anything good happens tonight, but I can easily see the start of our national destruction being set tonight. Only question is will SCOTUS stand with the constitution or Russia and it's asset?
