@The Eternal Anglo I'm still holding out hope that it doesn't happen
The best part is that it’d also apply to other drug dealers, as he says. It’s great in my opinion, and I hope it gets passed.
Yeah I was about to mention that myself thanks for the advice.
The El Chapo Act is pretty based in regards to El Chapo's money, however many law enforcement in smaller areas of the nation sustain themselves on the drug money they seize.
I assume there’d be discretionary powers in place, meaning that local crack dealers or something wouldn’t be funding the wall or its maintenance, but drug money seized over the border or any money seized from big kingpins would likely fund it.
"The bill is co-sponsored by eleven Republican representatives: Kevin Brady (TX-8), Steve King (IA-4), Louie Gohmert (TX-1), Tom Garrett, Jr. (VA-5), Lamar S. Smith (TX-21), Walter B. Jones, Jr. (NC-3), Paul Gosar (AZ-4), Ron DeSantis (FL-6), Joe Wilson (SC-2), Gary Palmer (AL-6), and Kevin Cramer (ND-At-large)."
You had me at Steve King
if Dems won't go for it, then it's like, this isn't about funding is it...
We’ve all known it’s not about funding for a while now. These people are the same ones wanting $40 trillion universal healthcare plans. It’s about this stopping the importation of new voters for them. If they don’t go for it, though, that’ll red-pill more normies on that for sure.
@Chris N. - CA yeah exactly, makes it more clear what it's about
Well there was that news a few days ago about how I think 5-6 dem house members are already cracking on the wall saying they would 'support a barrier'
Even some dems are tiring of this ridiculous stalemate apparently.
Would it be worth calling GOP and politely saying that you support Steve King?
That stuff about Watson makes me sick
He had some pretty based comments tho
Forbes: "How the shutdown is a win for Trump's authoritarian agenda."
This is supposed to make people who read Forbes dislike Trump and authoritarianism?
Lol exactly
I wonder what the Forbes demographic is
@Alec - OH nope. Media is going hard on Russia and Trump after a brief pause. They tried to pause to regain credibility a month or so before Nov 2016 and it totally backfired on them.
90% white males earning over 100k/yr? Lol
No I mean about the Forbes article
bingo. Used some airline miles to get a financial times sub. Instant regret. They are way more never Trump than I would have guessed.
GQ has went full cringe unfortunately
@Alec - OH yea I just meant "nope" as in "not joking" then I proceeded to talk about something indirectly related which was confusing.
We'd need to convince 19 Democrat representatives to get the wall, it looks like
plus all the Republicans
19 anti pelosi dems could buckle maybe.
it seems more likely than Rs giving up at this point. It would be a top 10 anime betrayal if McConnell quit on Trump now that the shutdown has proven to be popular.
wait
I thought popular opinion was against him
I'm almost certain the polls saying that are just a smokescreen to counter polls showing it turning in his favor.
I wonder what our country would be like if it was still just white males with the vote 🤔
Considering the fact that we pay the majority of tax revenue and take the least welfare we have the greatest claim to voting rights
I wouldn't mind a Roman/Greek approach to voting
