1. The reality and optics of shutting down the government are nothing

drumpf wants to add to his list of failures in his 1st 100 days. Rush isn't​ as smart as he claims to be.

[forgotmylogin]

2. "...a measly $1 billion..."

Wouldn't you like to be privileged enough to have that phrase come out of your mouth?

[underpants]

10. He said that at least 3 times

Yes I listen infrom time to time.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. Where Did He Get A Measly Billion

The last estimate i saw worked out to $250 an inch. A thousand mile wall, at that price per inch, would be more than $15,8 billion.

[PJMcK]

14. The border is nearly 2,000 miles long (n/t)

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Thanks! Even More So

That's going to bring the price tag to more than $33 billion. So, that idiot was off by a factor of at least 33.

4. But that's a minor detail between friends, I mean, two Big Fat Idiots

It will be forgotten tomorrow

[gratuitous]

5. Does Rushums need some time in his safe space?

Poor leetle feller. Rush has a sad, which generally means I approve of whatever he's bleeding about.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. The Wall is, was, and always will be

a DUMB idea. The idea that Trump would get Mexico or any other foreign entity to pay for the Wall was DUMB. To threaten a government shutdown over it is really DUMB.

[Blanks]

8. Or as Liz Warren calls it 'that stupid wall'...

[LOL Lib]

7. LULZ Bloated Rush LimpDick

Go snort some more oxy you tool.

[underpants]

9. Heard it running errands at lunch

He went on to a nonsensical rant about how the free market makes everything better.

[Beartracks]

11. He froths at the mouth re. Dem policies that cost far less.

And what is "measly" about $1 billion, esp when the project won't even do what is claimed?

And furthermore, $1 billion is vastly understating the cost of the wall boondoggle in the first place.

As usual, Rush's blathering is full of fail.

=============

[Initech]

12. $1 billion would barely cover 1/16 of the damn wall.

Not to mention cost of paying people to build it - although knowing the republicans, they'll use free prison labor. And the cost of maintaining it, which also knowing the republicans, they'll go cheap on maintenance, or not pay it at all, and they'll blame the democrats when it collapses. Fuck the GOP.

[get the red out]

13. LOL!

I hope the right forms a really big circular firing squad!

[Bengus81]

15. Well hey Rush,why don't you tell Mexico to send that "measly" check?? And then another and another..

Honestly Rush....hitting the OXY AGAIN?!?!?!

[spanone]

16. wonder how ru$h's audience feels about 'a measly $1 Biilion dollars'

[Vogon_Glory]

17. Imagine: Limbaugh out in Texas' Big Bend Country on foot and a 2 quart canteen

Trying to make his way during a blazing-hot Texas summer day to US 90 and trying not to get caught by the ICE--or even managing to stay alive.

What most whack-noodles fail to realize is that most of the US Mexican border is remote, sparsely-populated, and has few highways. It's a difficult, occasional man-killing passage and the wall isn't needed.
