    The only thing that seemed important was to get the Tax Cuts for the Rich passed. (Did I miss something?)

    From 39% to 37%????

    You missed a lot, Junior. Way too much for me to post here.

    Here's a good link to get you started ...

    Congress did their job, idiot. They passed a funding bill.

    Okay Boys. Here's the deal...

    1] The ONLY PROBLEM with the WALL is the "Cost". The $5 Billion price tag is a gross Typical over-estimate**

    Tell Jim Acosta to investigate the "Price" of the wall. IMO it's bogus by 300%.
    The wall is expensive for a reason. The reason is Bureaucratic red-tape.

    2] The WALL IS A SYMBOL. ---the engineering, production and
    installation is the greatest IN-YOUR-FACE DEMONSTRATION of Bureaucratic expertise.

    Don't get it yet? ... HOW MANY LAWYERS DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A WALL?
    And you thought it odd that Mueller needs a couple of years to find a conclusion?

    IF THEY CAN'T BUILD A WALL? Then what are they actually good for?

    AT THE LEAST, 500 POLITICIANS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MUSTER ENOUGH COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE TO BUILD A WALL! No?
    OTHERWISE, THEY, DEFACTO, SHOW THAT IT REQUIRES ONLY ONE TRUMP TO BUILD A WALL!
    OTHERWISE: YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT WALL ALONE...TRUMP BUILT THAT WALL!

    3] Tell Trump to make the Wall cost less!



    **For the Youngster Hipster Dudes out there ---here's an old story:
    "The famous $640 toilet seat cover"

    $37 screws, a $7,622 coffee maker, $640 toilet seats; : suppliers to our military just won't be oversold
    July 30, 1986

    For example, I have been paying taxes for 40 years, but one day I was driving along the San Diego Freeway through Camp Pendleton when a Marine helicopter flew over the car; I realized then that all the taxes I had paid in all my life would not pay for that one helicopter.

    It makes you feel as if you aren't really taking part in our destiny.

    You may have read in the paper the other day that a division of Litton Industries and two of its former executives are accused of defrauding the government out of $6.3 million on military contracts.

    According to the U.S. attorney, the company "grossly inflated prices intentionally" on about 45 contracts from 1975 to 1984.
    Other items offered in the catalogue include a $285 screwdriver, a $7,622 coffee maker, a $387 flat washer, a $469 wrench, a $214 flashlight, a $437 tape measure, a $2,228 monkey wrench, a $748 pair of duckbill pliers, a $74,165 aluminum ladder, a $659 ashtray and a $240- million airplane.

    Pentagon Products may be a fictional company, but these prices are not. They are documented.

    The success of Pentagon Products is based on simple principles, the authors say: no dog-eat-dog competitive bidding, no endless nit-picking over contracts, no pushy meddling in the bidding process, no penny-pinching bulk purchases, no unfair limits on corporate claims of proprietary rights, no settling for off-the-shelf products just to save a buck.

    Cheating the taxpayers is the American way.

    Trump wrapped it nicely, and even put a bow on it ... and Chuck and Nancy bought it. They own it now.

    Nancy claimed that congress would NOT pass a bill that included the $5 billion. She lied.

    On Dec. 20, 2018, Congress passed a funding bill that included the wall ... and the Senate democrats refused to pass it before it even went to the floor.

    This is very basic stuff, Junior. Hit the books.

    I'm about to hit some Chinese dinner. But always great talking to you. So much massive knowledge and wisdom seems to pour forth with every discussion I have with you. In the future, do you mind if I take some personal notes?
    Check you later, Bigdog.

    Yep, tons of waste, fraud, corruption and inefficiency in our gov't. Pres. Trump is battling against that.

    He's had great success at trimming unnecessary gov't jobs, renegotiating our military contracts and trade agreements, and moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in just 6 months and did it on a shoe string budget.

    Sums it all up. Trump admits he takes responsibility for shutting down the government over his demand for "the wall" and his minions
    wrap their arms around his subsequent lies about that.

    What about a film of his accepting responsibility do you yokels not get?

    Not surprising an elitist authoritarian such as yourself wouldn't understand the word "choice".
