    When I hear the name “Buzzfeed,” it reminds me of a swarm of flies feasting upon a pile of shit.

    I remember those images of the wall in Berlin coming down and wondering how many rubles were being trashed what misguided decision had caused it to be built. Did Trump pass history? Did he even take it?

    When I listen to Republicans I know they could very well be members of the Ku Klux Klan, and they might hate brown people like me. And that's why I will never vote for Trump & Pence.

    Trump offers a compromise to Dems in an attempt to end his partial shutdown of the government.
    They ain't falling for it.

    1. He's given up on the 30 foot high continuous, 2,000 mile long concrete wall that Mexico will pay for. Now it will just be steel barriers in high-priority areas...i.e. a broken fence that you will pay for.
    2. He'll extend protect for "Dreamers" for another 3 years.
    3. He'll extend protect for Temporary Protection Status holders for another 3 years.

    In return he wants:
    1. $5.7 billion to build his fence.
    2. $800 million for humanitarian aid.
    3. 2,750 more border agents and security officials.
    4. 75 new immigration judge teams.

    Pelosi said in effect, and I'm paraphrasing here,"Go pound sand."
    Mitch McConnell thinks Trump's idea is brilliant.

    In short, Trump will temporarly give back for three years the DACA and TPS hostages he took if Congress gives him nearly $6 billion of U.S. taxpayer money for his wall that he said Mexico would finance..

    That was another Trump nothing burger that he said would be a major announcement after the previous nothing burger he did on live primetime evening national TV.

    Trump is the type who claims he's a winner for being the biggest loser. He knows more about losing than all of the biggest losers combined. Unbeatable!

    After Trump's casinos went bankrupt, he actually claimed that he was a winner because he said he failed before the other casinos failed bigger than he did. Winning!

    Trump has also said that his humbleness is beyond what others could ever understand.

    Trump says he knows how to play this game better than anyone. He now has to play the defense game for both his private businesses and his presidency.


    Mounting legal threats surround Trump as nearly every organization he has led is under investigation
    By David A. Fahrenthold, Matt Zapotosky and Seung Min Kim

    excerpt:

    "Two years after Donald Trump won the presidency, nearly every organization he has led in the past decade is under investigation.

    Trump’s private company is contending with civil suits digging into its business with foreign governments and with looming state inquiries into its tax practices.


    The special counsel probe

    The campaign-finance investigation

    Scrutiny of the inaugural committee

    The emoluments lawsuits

    New York state inquiries"

    Everyone who wants Trump's wall should replace the front door of your house with a multi-billion $ steel fence that any amateur burglar can cut through with a cheap saw from Home Depot.

    The passage from the following article summarizes the pathology of Trump succinctly.



    In Business and Governing, Trump Seeks Victory in Chaos
    By Russ Buettner and Maggie Haberman

    In Business and Governing, Trump Seeks Victory in Chaos

    excerpt:

    "Three decades ago, Donald J. Trump waged a public battle with the talk show host Merv Griffin to take control of what would become Mr. Trump’s third Atlantic City casino. Executives at Mr. Trump’s company warned that the casino would siphon revenue from the others. Analysts predicted the associated debt would crush him.

    The naysayers would be proved right, but throughout the turmoil Mr. Trump fixated on just one outcome: declaring himself a winner and Mr. Griffin a loser.

    As president, Mr. Trump has displayed a similar fixation in his standoff with Congress over leveraging a government shutdown to gain funding for a wall on the Mexican border. As he did during decades in business, Mr. Trump has insulted adversaries, undermined his aides, repeatedly changed course, extolled his primacy as a negotiator and induced chaos.

    “He hasn’t changed at all,” said Jack O’Donnell, who ran a casino for Mr. Trump in the 1980s and wrote a book about it. “And it’s only people who have been around him through the years who realize that.”"

    In Business and Governing, Trump Seeks Victory in Chaos

    "His lack of public empathy for unpaid federal workers echoes his treatment of some construction workers, contractors and lawyers whom he refused to pay for their work on his real estate projects. The plight of the farmers and small-business owners wilting without the financial support pledged by his administration harks back to the multiple lenders and investors who financed Mr. Trump’s business ventures only to come up shortchanged.

    And his ever-changing positions (I’ll own the shutdown; you own the shutdown; the wall could be steel; it must be concrete; then again, it could be steel) have left heads in both parties spinning. Even after his televised proposal on Saturday to break the deadlock, Mr. Trump has no progress to show."

    if someone was going to cut through the "wall" with a cheap saw from home depot, first you would need a generator to run the saw. and a truck to carry it. and lots of time. that steel looks to be a 6 x 6 inch steel square tube, with a wall thickness of about 3/8 to 1/2 inch . that would condense down to a piece of steel 2 in. x 6in.. a 2 x 6 inch piece of solid steel. that would take quite awhile to cut and you would need a bushel basket of blades and a second cheap saw to replace the one you just burned out.
    as for plasma or a cutting torch you still need the truck, generator, and a few hammers to soften it up a little plus that's two cuts
    to make a hole and someone on the other side to make the cuts on the other side of the 6x6 tube. also, how you gonna cover the noise? sound travels through steel like lightning. and for long distances. you can hear a train coming from miles away when you put your ear to the track. with sensors on the steel, you wouldn't even get one saw blade worn out before the border patrol would be on you. I guess I wont put a door on my house or a gate or a wall cause walls don't work…… waiting for someone to pick this apart...…… any other steel workers in here?

    Why do its supporters want the wall, I mean there are a lot more important things that need fixing in the world and the US that are real and pressing problem, why are people so fixated on this white elephant?

    I think it's a racism thing. They want a thumb in the eye of all the immigrants who are already here. Sort of a big, fat, official "we don't like your kind". That's why they want it in my opinion. They don't truly care if it's going to stop illegal immigration, they only want to make a big point of "non-English speakers" being unwelcome in their private lives.

    Some rich business man who ran a car dealership once told me, "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull-shit." This business model has survived the decades in America.
