#1 Does John's home still have a front door? How about a front gate to his estate?

#3 Its obvious that I hate Trump more than most anyone here, but even I know this is simply idiotic, and its one of the few things I do like about him, although he is off in lala land when it comes to funding it.

#4 Funding of the wall? Not a problem.

The taxpayer savings realized from the reduction of alien free-loaders to the medical system, care & feeding, housing, education system, law enforcement, and criminal justice system will pay for the wall in no time.

#5 Don't forget foreign aid to Mexico. IIRC, last time I looked it was $500 million a year. So if the wall costs $10 billion you build $500 million worth every year until it's done. But I thought Trump's remittances plan was pretty cool too.

#6 How about a 'toll wall.' My guess is it would pay for itself in just a few years, ~~the the toll could be removed.~~

It would be a gov't 'toll wall' what was I thinking :-(

#7 We can't remain great by looking inward?

What does that even mean?

When you look outward and see millions upon millions of Third World types trying to get into your country, you build a wall. If you want to keep looking outward you get a ladder so you can look over the wall.

I don't get it. I don't think Kerry is making any sense at all. But what is most disturbing is that a lot if not all of those graduates probably sat there listening to him without questioning any of it.

#9 OK. But I think the biggest question is who will govern this new borderless world and what kind of government will it be? Just thinking about it kinda makes me shudder.

No worries! The world will be run by a well-educated elite. Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders. And kommisars.

As for what kind of govt will it be, ask the Cambodians. Or anyone who survived the Great Leap Forward.

Please see the Book of Revelation in your Holy Bible. You are welcome.
