#1 Have we now reached point we no longer deserve a President Trump or the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for ?

I fear these evil bastids may try and foment a conflict or great war in order to push their mischief into the memory hole.

#2 16 states. It was 11 that self identified over a 150 years ago that didn't want to be part of the United States.

#3 Have them all arrested for aiding and abetting a foreign invasion of the United States. Once convicted, build a gallows at a border crossing and hang them. Leave the corpses there til they rot and come part.

#4 Which 16 States? Seems some basic reporting would help the matter. Wonder if it'll be kicked out based on standing (IOW, if you're not a border State, you have no standing).

#5 ...and the one 'Republican' governor? My money's on my homeboy, Charlie Baker (MA).

#6 So the other 31 National Emergency declarations from Bush and Obama where they also directed funds during the declaration were ok. But this one is a bridge too far?

Fuck off and die, all of you. You are all in a state of sedition and need to be crushed.

#10 If this were a Cash Cab Red Light Challenge, and had to name 12/16, could have done it in one breath.

#12 building a border wall without an appropriation by Congress,
I though Congress did appropriate funds - $20B - several years ago, when a bunch of Dems voted for it. Pre-Trump, of course.

#13 1st, if you aren't a border state you have no say.
2nd, the border is controlled by the Federal government, if you aren't the Federal government you have no say.

So who's left? I guess Mexico can complain.

#14 Didn't the Courts rule that the FEDERAL government has sole jurisdiction over the border back when Arizona tried to enforce border security on it's own?
