For what it’s worth, the signing statements only stated how the Executive branch would enforce whatever was in the bill.
Trump fans are willing to accept a lot of lies—big and small—from the guy who’s delivering to them that ‘you are the only Real Americans’ message.
But I suspect they may have trouble with a new imperative to ‘let’s all pretend the Wall is real, and if we stick together, that will make the Libtards just as angry as if there were an actual Wall.’
For one thing, the level of abstract thinking required would present a lot of them with difficulties.
But the main problem is that what they want The Wall for is fairly specific—something that can’t be supplied by a ‘let’s all pretend’ Wall. They want the Wall so their kids can taunt their darker-skinned classmates with ‘Go back behind the Wall; you’re not welcome here!’ They want the Wall so they can sneer openly at the Hispanic-last-name guy at work. They want the Wall so they can hold Wall Day, at which ham on mayonnaise sandwiches will be served and country music will be played and everyone will wear flag pins and NASCAR will be discussed.
It’s a symbol. It will be a problem if it’s tough for them to pretend that the symbol actually has physical existence.
I am totally down for the Queen slapping him should he visit England again.
Maybe James Cameron can come up with hologram projection technology that allows a simulation of a wall to be thrown up to satisfies these yahoos.
If we can lose the stupid pins and NASCAR discussion (used to be a big fan, dead to me now), I’ll bring the 'tater salad. Sounds like a party!
Yeah, I’m thinking I’d be willing to dress up in overalls and flannel if there’s a ham ‘n’ mayonnaise sandwich involved.
That doesn’t sound good to me, but to each their own!
I just got back from vacation in South Korea. I had a lengthy conversation about NASCAR there, with my SK relatives. They did most of the talking. Turns out NASCAR racing back in the US is popular in SK. I haven’t had a discussion about that sport in years.
Come now, this is a man who thinks gold taps are chic. Think less GWB in flight suit and more Elvis in Las Vegas.
(I’m thinking something like Uncle Sam, but star spangled in a cacophony of red, white, and blue rhinestones with a screaming American Eagle on the back in sequins.) 
Sure, it’d be hard for them to PRETEND, but aren’t they also gullible enough to believe it if he says it’s true? If he says it’s done, how many are going to doubt? Who would they believe that would tell them otherwise?
Supposedly, he had his physical a few days ago, but no word yet on his current height and weight. Apparently his doctors can’t figure out any numbers that are both acceptable to their client and not guaranteed to set off even louder gales of laughter than the previous claim of 6’ 3" and 239 pounds…
I heard a rumor that Uncle Sam was a homosexual – best not ask about the Russian bear.
I couldn’t decide if this was just a Stupid Republican Idea of the Day but since it is uniquely Trump stupid, I’ll put it here.
Trump wants to start a “new” tradition. Yeah!
A gathering! To celebrate America on the 4th of July! Only Trump could think up something so clever!

I want to see him in a flight suit tailored for a guy that weighs 239.
You should have seen the intro to Rachel’s A-block tonight, about this wonderful idea Trump had come up with to start a new tradition celebrating the beginning of America. And maybe he’ll invent a new game for us, that involves somebody standing still with a stick in their hand while someone else throws a ball at them so the ball can be hit and there’ll be lots of running involved around this pieces of plastic set in a diamond pattern in the dirt … and on and on. It was hysterical.
Ha! I mean, it would be horrifying to look at, but it would be worth it for his humiliation.
Good point. Now I’m picturing something out of Robert Altman’s Nashville.
The report said he’s going to be healthy enough to survive to the end of his term, and real doctors are saying, “Doctors don’t predict that you’re going to live for any particular length of time.”
A tiny church in Texas is suing Individual 1’s administration to prevent the building of the wall on the grounds of religious freedom - that the government can’t claim their property under eminent domain.
No, no. You misunderstood. Last year, the doc’s supervisor ordered the doc to “weigh that ass”, clearly referring to Trump being a complete ass. The fool doc, on the other hand, thought he was just to weigh Trump’s buttocks.
Damn skippy!
When I read that, I was thrilled to see that the law was “beloved of evangelicals”. Then I thought, “Hey, don’t those fools hate Catholics and especially brown Catholics?” Ah, that’ll be awesome to see more and more people turn on Trump.
