    Just in case anyone's wondering where we've gone since the beginning.

    1. The wall is just a metaphor, not a real thing

    2. The wall is totally a real thing

    3. Mexico is going to pay for it

    4. Mexico is going to reimburse us at a later date after we impose import taxes

    5. Congress will pay for the wall and Mexico will reimburse us

    6. Congress will pay for the wall

    7. The wall will pay for itself from all the economic winning

    8. The military will pay for the wall

    9. The military is the wall <----- We are here

    Where are all the Jade Helm conspiratards now?


    Trump said that he planned to order the military to guard parts of the southern border until he can build a wall and tighten immigration restrictions, proposing a remarkable escalation of his efforts to crack down on migrants entering the country illegally,” the New York Times reports.

    Said Trump: “Until we can have a wall and proper security, we’re going to be guarding our border with the military. That’s a big step. We really haven’t done that before, or certainly not very much before.”

    Politico: “A senior official at the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday that putting troops on the U.S.-Mexico border had been under discussion but that no roll-out had been planned because of unresolved policy issues. The official said Secretary of Defense James Mattis did not want armed troops at the border.”
     
  3. And then military to Chicago? Any other place Trump feels needs law and order.

    There is a very good reason this has not been done before.

  9. Regarding that Obama legacy, that Obamacare is still here and people are still signing up voluntarily:


    ObamaCare enrollment dips just slightly after Trump cuts to promotion


    ObamaCare signups dropped only slightly this year despite major cutbacks in outreach efforts, the Trump administration announced Tuesday.

    Officials said that 11.8 million people nationwide signed up for coverage in 2018, a slight drop from the 12.2 million who signed up last year.

    The administration cut advertising and outreach spending by 90 percent, in addition to cutting funds for outside groups that help people enroll.

    Supporters of the law, given that context, were heartened by the numbers.

    Seema Verma, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which oversees the law, offered both praise and criticism on Tuesday.

    She wrote on Twitter that this year was the "most cost-effective and successful open enrollment to date!"

    But she also criticized ObamaCare for "skyrocketing premiums and limited choice."

    She said that premiums increased 30 percent on average from last year to this year. But most people (83 percent of enrollees) get financial assistance under ObamaCare to help them afford their premiums, which shields them from having to pay that increase.

    The administration had previously announced signup numbers only for the 39 states that use the federal healthcare.gov system, in December. Those numbers also showed only a slight drop-off.[​IMG]
