This wall is quickly becoming a very disturbing glassy-eyed utopianism

The wall... will stop all the drugs. The wall... will give us sovereignty never imagined. The wall... will stop all the crime. The wall... will mean everyone will have jobs. The wall... will stop the other. The wall... will keep us safe. The wall... love the wall. The wall... loves you. The wall... the wall... the wall...

dawn is setting on the days of white men being able to assert dominance over women and minorities.

change is inevitable, we will make progress, though the road may be bumpy.

there is no "solution" to this "problem", but those who can't deal with the change crave one, so donnie is offering up a fictitious one. he's a con man, so it doesn't bother him in the least if the "solution" is completely fake.

since the tRump family and the gop will be on THIS side of it? The only people who will benefit will be the Russian oligarch steel magnate, and tRump. I wonder how much HIS cut will be of those BILLIONS in US taxpayer money?

tRump thought it was a bad idea until he tried it out at a rally and the tRumpsters loved it. They also came up with "lock her up". and we now know Cambridge Analytica has ties to putin.

get the cat toys out from under the refrigerator
help me lose a little weight
fix the potholes in my street
make my next-door neighbor stop blowing his leaves into my yard every fall
get my deck painted

The Wall will fix everything. Praises be to the Wall.
