Mitch McConnell: U.S. taxpayers paying for wall with Mexico

[someoneyouknow]

When asked at an event in Washington if he believes Mexico will pay for a wall, Mitch McConnell responded with, "Uh, no."

In other words, the leading Republican Senator has said the U.S. taxpayer is on the hook for the billions it will cost to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, this in direct confrontation to the con artist's repeated statements to the contrary.

As of now, the con artist is scrambling to find money anywhere he can to make it appear he's trying to do something. He's cut funding to the Coast Guard (what good are they for anyway?), FEMA (well duh! They're part of a plot to declare martial law) and everyone's favorite, the TSA (after all, when you're talking security, what better place to cut funding than an organization which is supposed to protect us from terrorists boarding planes).

Sure the senile old fuck didn't misunderstand the question..."Mitch do you have any balls?" Um, no.

Coast Guard and Border Patrol are spelled differently, but they have the same job description.

Coast Guard and Border Patrol are spelled differently, but they have the same job description.

Taken from the official website of both groups. They may have some overlapping areas, but the Coast Guard is a military branch. The Border Patrol is Law Enforcement. There is a difference.

The priority mission of the Border Patrol is preventing terrorists and terrorists weapons, including weapons of mass destruction, from entering the United States. Its primary mission remains unchanged: to detect and prevent the illegal entry of aliens into the United States. Together with other law enforcement officers, the Border Patrol helps maintain borders that work - facilitating the flow of legal immigration and goods while preventing the illegal trafficking of people and contraband.


As one of the five Armed Services of the United States, the Coast Guard is the only military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to its role as an Armed Service, the Coast Guard is a first responder and humanitarian service that provides aid to people in distress or impacted by natural and man-made disasters whether at sea or ashore. The Coast Guard is a member of the Intelligence Community, and is a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad legal authorities associated with maritime transportation, hazardous materials shipping, bridge administration, oil spill response, pilotage, and vessel construction and operation.

He, his family and friends all fly privately. They will not be in danger. And after all, isn't that what's important?

I still can't believe people fell for a wall. I knew Americans were dumb but not that dumb.

Ummm, yes they are, obviously--at least a big glob of them are. Made brain dead by electronic toys and reality TV.

To be fair, reasonable Americans outnumbered the Trumpkins by 2.8 million votes.
And sad to say, a sizeable portion of Trump voters knew all along that the whole "build a wall and make Mexico pay for it" bullshit was just pandering to the rubes. Moderately intelligent racists, fascists and bigots if you will.

Sadly, I'm not comforted by the notion that there are a few more of us than them.

Anybody that is remotely familiar with the Coast Guard knows they not only help protect our borders but they perform ocean rescue.

I'm not sure that Trump sees ocean rescue as contributing to his bottom line.

Inland waters too, the Great Lakes.

An American armed forces that actually does good works.

Border patrol officers are also considered first responders.
