    Chickens come home to roost. The trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. The trillion dollar budget bill. The border boondoggle. To paraphrase the late Republican Senator Everett Dirksen, "A trillion here, a trillion there soon adds up to big money." When inflation hits the folks at WalMart and the trade wars put the farmers out of business, look out Trump!

    I hear Mexican Americans are thrilled about voting this November.

    And Trump does not care about how his administration spends taxpayer dollars. His cabinet members spend millions on travel, even private jet service. Pruitt just spent a fortune to go to Morocco to suck butt with their king so an Oklahoma LNG company could sell their product over there. And that trip had nothing to do with EPA business. Trump's sons just went to Dubai on family business and the taxpayers got the bill for it. Trump's swamp is starting to stink. You can smell it all the way out at the ballot box!

    Trump is Putin's best weapon to destroy America
    Russia doesn't even have to fire a nuke to win. Trump is already destroying the foundations of this country. All the intelligence agencies, the media, both parties of congress and the senate, all trade and treaties with the rest of the world, the stock market and the environment. No wonder those two are such buddies.

    Mattis doesn't have the authority any more than Trump does. It takes an act of congress for the military to be used as law enforcement. What do you think the odds of that are? Trump fascism goes down in flames again.

    LOL You're so cute.

    That's only if they play by the book. If you think that's going to happen, you have more faith in this administration than I do.

    Do you think using the military for law enforcement along the border is a good idea? How long will this "human wall" need to be there? Is Mexico going to pay for it?

    It doesn't ''need to be there'' now.

    All he has to do is declare a state of emergency, and then he can deploy the national guard.

    Bush and Obama did the same. The subtle difference is that in both cases border crossings were at unusual highs, not historic lows. They did it with a little more subtlety than tweeting about caravans they saw on Fox News too.

    That's because Trump makes even W. look like a goddamn Rhoads scholar.

    That's what I was thinking. These troops cannot do anything...not shoot...and not arrest anyone. They would have to turn over any detained to the border patrol. The Mexicans are experts at avoiding border agents. This will turn out to be a waste of taxpayer money.

    This is about getting his racist base worked up in the central parts of the country.

    I believe in the Bush and Obama cases the National Guard was requested by the states, not sent into action based on a FOX news report.

    He can do it, but should he? I see it as a purely symbolic act for his base. Politically, it may make sense, as an alternative to the wall. Using the military as a police force and political tool poses problems on a long-term basis.

    Isn't every one at FOX news an anchor baby?

    I think the wall and the national guard are very expensive ways to fix the problem. The Border Patrol should be given enough money to set up more bases along the border and some jeeps to patrol the fence areas outside the usual patrol lanes they had been using. I could see the use of all terrain vehicles in areas difficult to reach. When they do catch a Mexican he should be treated no different than a Canadian or a Russian. The discrimination against Mexicans is what the Trump Voter wants.
