Paul Ryan scrambles to find money for Trump’s yuuuge wall
Mister deficit hawk seems very eager to waste your taxpayer dollars on an unwanted and ineffective solution to an overhyped problem.
“First off, we’re going to pay for it and front the money,” Ryan said. He didn’t elaborate, but according to CNN, during the Republican lawmakers’ retreat in Philadelphia this week, Ryan said they could push through a special spending bill dedicated to the wall in the next few months.
“[Ryan] talked about the supplemental budget coming this spring to push that along. The president said he’s going to get reimbursed one way or the other and we accept that,” said Representative Chris Collins. “Meanwhile, we do have to pay our bills.”
It’s unclear where the funding for that measure would come from, but of course, that’s only a temporary concern. Ryan assured Van Susteren that they’d figure out how to make Mexico pay, someday. “There are a lot of different ways of getting Mexico to contribute to doing this,” he said. “There are different ways of defining how exactly they pay for it.”

Rump will spin it that HE cancelled the meeting because the Mexican President refused to discuss how they’ll pay for the wall.

Exactly.

Republicans have shown their priorities for decades, they are thankful their idiot voters can’t count and connect the dots.

Exactly. Vets are just a prop for them, and once a kid is born they don’t give a sh*t about that child.

on an unwanted and ineffective solution to an overhyped problem.
One issue that compelled voters to vote Trump was the issue of illegal immigration.

That doesn’t make them right … just poorly educated.

What about the Canadian border?
A fishing group on the St. Clair River noticed a man in a Speedo with a backpack swimming in the river recently. CBP was alerted and the man, who hailed from the Czech Republic, was apprehended. The flow of illegal immigration across the U.S.-Canadian border is much slower than that of the U.S.-Mexico border, but it is enough to warrant a wall.
Canada will become A Launching Point for Illegal Entry Into U.S.A.’
William January 26th, 2017 at 13:53
Actually the 911 terrorists came in from Canada. Canadians are mostly white though, so no wall needed.
trees January 26th, 2017 at 15:07
Not true.
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 21:25
it is TRUE.
any illegal immigrant could be a TERRORIST in disguise.

I mean, WTF would think to search a 3 year old half frozen Syrian war refugee for a 100 megaton Czar Bomba?

you wall US off COMPLETELY from the other 97.2% humans, then trumpland becomes great again with missle parades, swastika flag rallies, mass book burnings, ‘ridin’ valkyries’ by Wagner continuous long and very boring BS by the long winded COWARD COMMANDER PONME …..
won’t work without the 2 walls.
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 21:23
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS!
it’s where the SAUDI ARABIAN TERRORIST that attacked the BETRAYED Republic on in 2001 came from.
BUILD WALLS SO yugge around ALL INTERNATIONAL Airports that no planes carrying Saudi Arabian Terrorist will be able to land!
what?
it ain’t like our International trade is going to be booming anyway.
they can always sail to within 12 miles of the shoreline and bring their products in on row boats.
anothertoothpick January 26th, 2017 at 15:40
They voted for Mexico to pay for the wall.
Not US taxpayer’s.
Remember?
trees January 27th, 2017 at 01:04
Yes, and Mexico will be paying for the wall….
anothertoothpick January 27th, 2017 at 06:50
Yeah, I know. Because pumpkin head always pays his bills.
Just ask the 3500 contractors that are suing him for not paying them.
How much longer are you going to keep believe this asshole?
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 21:17
the basic issue that compelled trump voters was their WHITE RACIST RELIGIOUS BS MASTER RACE CRAP!
next was STUPIDITY
the VERY LAST THING was issues.
(note the tiny dot at the end of issues)

Trump and congressional Republicans are not against massive federal spending and generating hyuuuge federal deficits, per se. That is a fallacy.
They are against significant federal spending on programs to which they are ideologically opposed. Spend a trillion dollars invading other nations (especially in the Middle East), and it’s all good. Create trillions more in national debt by repealing the ACA, and they’ll dance in the streets.
Spend hundreds of billions more to ramp up a global nuclear arms race or squander tens of billions to build a border wall, and they’ll call it an act of patriotism.

it’s the way of the FAKE PHONY republican ‘patriots’ who wear the flag of the BETRAYED Republic on their lapels.

An extra tax on the middle class, Trump promised them the sky they will go for it
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 20:51
they’ll hit the most vulnerable first :
enlisted personnel in the Military of the BETRAYED Republic.
the old
the physically disabled
those who need help with the young
and, of course, women – or to use the religiously acceptable language of COWARD COMMANDER PONME himself – C*NTS!

Make the wall in China, manufacturing cost are even cheaper than in Mexico
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 20:46
plus, it will help China to EXPAND their world trade and possibly allow China to set up Military Installations for their own protection against trumpland’s 4th Reich.
The Original Just Me January 28th, 2017 at 22:58
Trump is experienced in getting cheap steel from China.

Who the hell needs a wall with Donald trump as President?…
What person in their right mind would want to come here in the first place?
The Original Just Me January 28th, 2017 at 22:56
The wall is really for keeping American Labors Here after Trump destroys what is left of the Labor Unions.

Excellent point my friend…
Patricia Castelan January 26th, 2017 at 19:32
Make Mexico pay the ‘Don the Con’ way, Hire Mexican contractors and laborers. When it is finished refuse to pay. Problem solved.
granpa.usthai January 26th, 2017 at 20:40
this will be where the massive cuts to the enlisted pay of those who signed up in the BETRAYED Republic’s Armed Forces will begin. Also the old, those who are disabled and help with those of the very young.
Christian Nations (the fake PHONY trumpland church whores (to use the authors of the OT scriptures excluded) should pray for the good Christian Nation of Mexico.
another GREAT golden opportunity fir China to EXPAND their national trading, plus good harbors and areas they could place Military units to contain trumpland’s 4th reich.
meanwhile, for historical correctness:
is Melanija Knavs (note historical correctness in name) titled the 1st ever 1st c*nt of the United States of America (name of the BETRAYED Republic that is now trumpland) – or 1st c*nt of trumpland (to historically use the colorful american conservative republican religiously acceptable language of COWARD COMMANDER PONME)?
historical correctness is very important…
and it co*nts!

When Despot Don is impeached,could we make that snake Ryan go with him back to his bat cave?Ryan fights affordable care,universal coverage,but is confident and willing to waste “our” money on a useless wall that strokes trumps overinflated narcissistic fragile ego.This authoritarian group of fools care nothing about the true and pressing needs of Americans!Even trumps voters will soon realize the disaster they have brought upon us all!

Not without a lot of public pressure.Thats my hope,that as his incompetence stacks up enough violations and misdeeds the public outcry will overwhelm them to the point they will have to.There may not be as much repuke support for him as it may appear,and many of them may harbor quiet desire to get rid of him and look like their the good guys.I may just be wishfully thinking however and you may be right.Even if it happens,were still stuck with Pence and the rest of these corrupt fools.

The only ones who don’t know where the money is really coming from
are the idiots who voted for it.
RWNJ radio here is BS’ing and back tracking their listeners into a story that tRump had said all along that they would pay for it first THEN Mexico would “reimburse” them for it…
Obviously hoping that they all suffer from CRS…
