Lara Trump tells federal workers that their missed paychecks are sacrifices for the ‘future of our country’
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...O_kxCRMoVlTcMp-Hji8S8c&utm_term=.c5901e461047
“It’s not fair to you, and we all get that, but this is so much bigger than any one person,” she said. “It is a little bit of pain, but it’s going to be for the future of our country, and their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now. I know it’s hard. I know people have families, they have bills to pay, they have mortgages, they have rents that are due. But the president is trying every single day to come up with a good solution here and, the reality is, it’s been something that’s gone on for too long and been unaddressed — our immigration problem.
“If we do nothing right now, it’s never going to get fixed. This is our one opportunity.”
Watch out for the pop up vid where MAGAcunt says that the people who have real pain had kids killed by illegal immigrants and those not getting paid now , many of them are on his side.
Can we build a virtual wall to keep this fucking madness out? Maybe China can help us?

I think the wall (apart from being meat for his deplorable base) is forward planning for climate change. There’s not a lot of political will to do fundamental stuff to address the problem. So when people from closer to the equator (where it’ll really kick in first) want to move North...WALL! Mega City One.

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
Even if he believed that he wouldn't be thinking that far ahead.He would also know that the wall would not stop migration on a massive scale.
Maybe, too, you like Trump have your delusions. Poverty in Latin America, as elsewhere, derived from economic inequality; systems that leave large proportions of the population poor and marginalised. That is what we need to be struggling to change.
I do not buy into the pseudobiblical, Neomalthusian climate doom-mongering explanations you for current or near future large scale population movements of the type that you espouse here.

Earlier, I was reading the comment section someplace and people were comparing sweet little Lara to Marie Antoinette.

Your right about Latin American poverty (and US involvement in it). You don’t think climate change will produce mass migrations? Regarding Trump...probably right in terms of his short termism but he’s not the only one involved. My point is vested interests don’t want to stop the fossil fuel gravy train hence the change from ‘stopping/reversing’ climate change to ‘managing’ climate change.

There was also this stunner from the Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross.
Pelosi called out Wilber Ross's "Let them eat cake" attitude in this clip, and thinking they could just "Call their father for money," (nice jibe at Trump!

Looks like some of the furloughed workers are being called back, without pay of course, but it's interesting which are and which aren't. Staff were called back to handle the auctioning of offshore oil drilling rights. USDA and FDA pulled people back to restart some food safety measures and services for farming. Staff were also called back to run aviation safety checks and to the IRS to process tax returns and refunds. Questionable whether this is legal, as no federal funds have been agreed to pay for their work (not the salaries, but other delivery costs,) but since when has that stopped the Trump administration doing anything?
Long list of services where staff still indefinitely on unpaid furlough - parks and monuments, SNAP food assistance, Coast Guard, Veterans hospitals and health services, Environmental Protection, FBI, etc.
You could be forgiven for thinking there's a pattern of recalling workers to agencies that need to keep ticking along not so much because they are more important than others, but they're needed to keep payouts flowing to the Trump family, his financial backers and/or his base.
One could also be forgiven for thinking other departments are being left to seed deliberately, as it's in Trump and the GOP's interest to run them to the ground so they can flog them, fire sale stylie. Trashed national parks are easier to flog than fix. Ditto with already under resourced Veterans' health facilities and services. And, gutting the FBI even further surely reduces the risk of anything getting pinned on Trump.
Like I said before, I don't think the wall is the goal of all this, but just a device for keeping the government shut down at least long enough to cause maximum damage to the infrastructure either so Trump and his cronies can profit, or to derail any investigations into Trump's criminality.
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't suddenly call it all off, seemingly out of the blue, but with some kind of spin that will make him "look" like he's won. That will happen as soon as enough damage is done in enough places. He'll abandon the wall plan, probably saying he's just found out from experts that there are better ways to keep immigrants out, and the mainstream media will clap their hands as if no one thought the wall was a shit idea until Trump decided it was.

Climate change is already causing population movements, what are all the people who moved to the mainland US from Puerto Rico after last year's hurricane if not climate refugees? I don't think it's an either/or thing with the poverty issue, in Latin America as elsewhere, it's going to be the poorest people who are the hardest hit by things like stronger storms, crop failures, etc.
The area many of the Central American migrants arriving at the US border are coming from is called the "Dry Corridor" and drought has forced a lot of people to leave their land - talking about climate change driving migrants north isn't "neo-Malthusian doom-mongering," it's a description of what is already happening.

Would be fab if they could get that smirking bastard Farage in the net as well. Was thick with Stone.
Who is the real Nigel Farage... and why won't he answer my questions?

I’m currently in South Carolina.
I’m listening to 106.3 WORD whilst driving around. Know your enemy and all that.
https://1063word.radio.com/
It’s risible and disturbing.
Been having some interesting conversations. Well, I’m doing a lot of then listening and not so much much of talking.
The Left think the shutdown will cause Trump's support to start to crack. The Right are right behind him and doubling down on that, blaming the shut down entirely on the Left.

Embrace the confusion!
They raised Stones gaff? Surely he’s foreseen it long enough to have got rid of anything incriminating?
It seems that Trump is about to announce a temporary deal, but he may go off script for all anybody knows.

You have my sympathies, listening to right wing American talk radio. Used to do that on long trips to stay awake. It's hard to fall asleep when you are yelling at the radio.
"A fence, a barrier, a wall, call it what you will, will be part of the solution"
From memory, but that's roughly what he said. So he's moving the goalposts more than somewhat.

He's working out a way to spin it to give the impression to his very impressionable acolytes that he actually won.
Maybe a good time to have another look at this clip from 2014 when he phoned into a Fox tv programme.
