In any case actual news reported is as a comment by an EU official, not the Don.

So we are placing value in the word of some know-nothing European Union official that much? Here is what was said then.

Miguel Arias Cañete told reporters on Saturday: “The U.S. has stated that they will not renegotiate the Paris accord, but they will try to review the terms on which they could be engaged under this agreement.”

The "actual" news who reported it was none other than the Wall Street Journal, who had the above statement terribly wrong. In fact, so wrong that it flies in the face of this:

When Trump officially announced his plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement in June, he said he’d be willing to “immediately work with Democratic leaders,” either to “negotiate the U.S. back into Paris” or devise a new pact.

Since then, the administration hasn’t officially announced any new policies on the climate change agreement, nor has it provided any details on what a renegotiation with the accord would look like.

Which even the biased Huffington Post acknowledged.

This turn of events is actually a targeted attack, similar to the "DACA announcement" that the President had been involved in days before. The reason I call this a "targeted attack" is because it was accompanied by a massive surge in the Shareblue personnel and computer botnet, many of whom posed as "Trump supporters" and flooded social media sites affiliated with his backers, be it 4chan, Reddit, Breitbart, Facebook, etc. This is where the cry of "Trump's base is abandoning him." rose from, owing to the paid shills or opposition actors and whose go-to tactic is debasing attempts. Do not believe me, let them say it for themselves:

So, the border wall.
Good decision? Or Great decision?


Great decision. Without control of the border, immigration policy is meaningless. Our immigration system should help people (ourselves first, and then others). We can't do that without control of our border.

Controlling our border can be better done without a 2 billion dollar wall we expected someone else to pay for.

*rubs eyes* I must be more tired than I thought. I don't know why I said 2 billion when it's 70 billion. And winter is coming, what's more. ;)

ICE seems to think otherwise.

In this scenario am I the racist, or the dog?

Policy that you don't agree with? It's racist. Politics you don't like? Racist. Opposing political views? Racist. Someone has the audacity to disagree in [current year]? Racist. But if you defend yourself against these accusations? That's proof of racism, of course.

You could set your watch by it at this point.

@Kratesis I'm not Penny (or am I?), but I think she's calling him racist from previous comments and not the one he just made.

Love the gif, though.

The numbers are not entirely accurate, but the meme gets the point across. A one-time wall will cost you significantly less to build than funding that year's illegal immigrants and more than pay for itself over time. Unsurprisingly, the upkeep of said wall will also reach nowhere near the cost of funding people who did not lawfully enter the nation. The cost of the wall is projected to indeed be ten billion dollars, while the cost of the illegal immigrants yearly is a more indistinct fifty-four billion dollars. Still under the spell that "Mexico isn't going to pay for the wall." however?

Let that be shattered then, as Mexico is not going to be paying for it how people imagine - in cash or by tax - likely, but instead in trade, such as this renegotiation of NAFTA in the works as well as the fact that Mexico was leveraging border security to keep the United States in it. This is also ignoring that there is a executive order in draft sitting in the White House that, if executed, immediately withdraws the United States from the NAFTA agreement. This is important to note because, without any added warning in response to Mexico not dealing or agreeing, the President of the United States can withdraw the nation; it is the literal and figurative trump card.

Building a wall is not an act of racism, it has everything to do with security and the enforcement of the law of the land. Hungary built a wall, of which reduced illegal immigration by ninety-nine percent in response to the refugee crisis. It had nothing to do with the people themselves and everything to do with the establishment and ongoing authority of a sovereign state. Either you immigrate under the standards of the host nation or not at all.

We can also set watches by comments like this so really everyone's gonna have accurate as fuck watches. We'll never be late for the shitshow ever again.

Racist is more upsetting a word than retard at this point.

No I was stating that the wall is a dog whistle to racist elements in Trumps base. I didn't have anyone here in mind specifically although I guess they can decide that for themselves.

I should clarify that Andre is a racist, but the comment wasn't directed at him.

Right, removing the ability for people to replace the native workforce is a dog whistle to racist elements. Man I don't know how people get retarded enough to think this up.
