It's just job creation.

From the article about the invisible wall '“There will be the physical wall and then parts of the wall that you can actually see through because it will rely on sensors and other technology.”

Sooooo....Sort of like the wall they already have then?....

Littledrummergirl · 04/02/2017 15:55

I have a question. Trump and co is making a mess, how big remains to be seen although it is looking to be an awesome mess. My question is if when Trump (and co? ) leave, who cleans up?

The last thing America and the rest of the world is a knee jerk reaction and somebody worse or whose policies are bad but go through without proper scrutiny and consideration as they aren't as bad as Trumps, or who leaves the current situation in place where it becomes acceptable.

Who is thinking ahead and how will some of the protest groups come into play?

Lweji · 04/02/2017 15:58

they mean sensors and stuff, instead of an actual wall

So, pretty much what they already have with the fence, cameras, patrols, etc?

I see.

It will be like Trump claiming next that he's reduced unemployment to less than 5%.
Even though it was already under 5 % during Obama's last year.

BTW, this he hasn't been tweeting about:
October: 4,8
November: 4,6
December: 4,7
January: 4,8

Unemployment has actually been rising since the election. Despite Trump's claims.

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 15:59

Sadly, there is still a large population that supports everything Trump is doing. A family member has a FB feed (which I have long since unfollowed) that is full of Pro-Trump memes and all their friends and them saying "He's the President - get over it - stop whining - he can do what he wants!"

Um. No, he actually can't. Hmm

AlwaysTheWinner · 04/02/2017 15:59

Bigly pleased to be following another beautiful thread about the so-called President.
I'm now following @IfHillaryHad on Twitter. It's cheered me up just a smidgen.

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 15:59

Yes Bigly exactly like what they already have.

Lweji · 04/02/2017 16:00

Also, if the wall is invisible, do they mean they'll remove the fence?

How will people know where the border is?

Maybe that's the plan. Immigrants won't know when they've crossed it.

FlyMeToTheMoonLiterally · 04/02/2017 16:01

That Gone with the wind poster sums their relationship up, her - I have a horrible horrible feeling we will be dragged into another war

Your link to the video on Sean Spicer's reporting of Iran was really interesting ginger - thanks for sharing

So this is how it works - the magic formula

  • Say something terrifying that you know will instill fear in everyone, like refugees were involved in a Bowling Green Massacre
  • Retract it on twitter or under your breath whilst coughing.

Most people hear the headline only so it is still real in their mind and we have 'justification' for war

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 16:01

It'll probably be like those bloody dog fences where it'll zap them into oblivion if they step over. Hmm They don't think of them as human anyway.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 04/02/2017 16:02

I dont get it, i really dont

I get voting for him (i wouldnt but i can think of reasons why people might)

But even when he is proved to be lying

People are just goung along with it

"I like trump because he is going to build a wall"

Changes to

"Well obviously when he said wall he meant a few fences and massive gaps. Its not a literal wall you lefties..its a metaphorical wall"

What the fuck is wrong with these people???

That spicer bloke and the conway woman must just sob into their pillows on a nightly basis

BiglyBadgers · 04/02/2017 16:02

That's a big question drummer. The fact is even if trump and hiss cabal leave tomorrow we will still be left with a country split down the middle. Foriegn states aren't going to suddenly be best buds again either. Repairing the damage done is going to be a long slow process and even without trump on place there is still real danger.

Campaign groups need to remember that their job will not end with a new president in place. This has to be a wake up call to people that they are the checks and balances. They cannot just stand aside and assume nothing bad will happen. We must always be alert and holding our government to account.

Can Ivanka and Jared continue to be the 'sane' front people for Trump when they can't control him?

Are controversial Friday night announcements timed for beginning of Shabbat?

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 16:03

Apparently there is a clause in the actual EO that allows them scope to put into place this type of vetting for every single person that wants to enter the US. Experienced immigration lawyers are horrified by how broad it is.

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 16:06

Rufus in the case of my family member, they are someone that feels that if someone is unemployed it is ALWAYS because they are too lazy to get a job. Same with welfare. Same with refugees. Always always.

I love that their DIL is constantly posting negative stuff about Trump - including today a big memorial to the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre. Grin I make sure to click "like" on it.

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 16:07

I don't think for a moment that Ivanka and her husband do not know about this stuff. She's known all along where her father stood on the Mexican wall, on a Muslim ban.... I don't buy it.

That's what I've been meaning by the 'Aftermath', drummer. I suspect that much will depend on ....circumstances.
