Shutting Down the Government…for Real

[ghionjournal.com]

It would almost seem Trump knows he is in his last 2 years of power. A republican strategy often used is to slightly go against republican policy norms as the beginning of a false legacy is built. Leading to a library and name being applied to public buildings, streets, military apparatuses, etc. First withdrawing from Syria, and as this article might suggest, the shut down. It was highly noticeable in G W Bush's last 2 years.

The main problem with this whole issue is as always, a lack of real governance, and the lack of real journalism. The forth estate. Lets say for hypothetical reasons they pass a bill including the building of a wall. There's a ton of reasoning purposely being left out of the main stream media and political discussion. When this issue was first brought to light the cost was 20 to 25 billion. So what is a mere 5 billion going to do, and for who?

What about after cost? A factor no one is mentioning! Law suits are obviously going to arise from building a wall. That will fall back on tax payers to pay for the government to fight. Land owners who lose land to the wall. And also remaining land that endures damage. Activist from groups towards environmental issues. Add animal rights activist law suits. In many some of these cases will fall back on state and local governments to use funds and also lead to further laws suits against the federal government.

Another aspect is the comparison of cost to the a real issue always ignored. The reason we have been brainwashed into believing the reason we need a wall. I would argue that that 5 million would go a lot further into helping the countries these people come from and drastically reduce migration. Restoring the democracy we have taken with illegal colonialism and installing puppet governments of far right and fascist measures.

Trump hates America,(As do most rich people), and any non-rich Americans. A pic on the fools who voted for him as he will be the ruination of America?

Many argue that the fall of America started decades ago. Trump is merely a symptom of what the Reagan era started. And of what each administration since has built upon of that agenda.

I can't argue with anything you said. Business colonialism is what I call it. Oh companies go in decimate the economy and environment, set up pro business governments. Of course the poor people want to escape!
