    REF: “Mexican border wall”:

    It's heartwarmingly satisfactory to know that at least the U.S. isn't alone, in electing an A-Hole for a president!

    O:
    Is HRC also an A-Hole to you? Yes or no?

    Our governments have not been able to control our porous southern border for decades. They have been useless at this, for decades. Are the American people who are tired of this all A-Holes?

    In Brazil, which non-A-hole, would you have preferred to have been elected in place of Bolsonaro? Name him or her.

    Will all Brazilians be of one unanimous mind that this preferred candidate of yours is for sure “not” an A-Hole?

    Here in the U.S., it is one's political ideology that determines who we label as an A-Hole. Are you doing this too?

    Your pre-dominant mindset is that “all” politicians are automatically A-Holes. I agree with this. HRC is a politician thru and thru. A clearly pure shitbag. Trump was not a politician at the time he was campaigning.

    What do you have to say about the majority of Americans whose choice for POTUS was HRC, a pure shitbag? Who then, oblivious to the total flaws in their own twisted preference and vote, in a microsecond start castigating the people who voted for a person who wasn't a shitbag politician? They voted for an animal like HRC and then turn around and call the ones who did not do this twisted. As you are now.

    In such a case as Donald Trump, are you obliged to side with corrupt politicians?

    Name a person in the U.S. who you think would have been a good non-A-hole president for the U.S. people?

    @Bushpilot
    I'm sure :o)) will give you a GREAT answer, but I wanted to say that your government could have controlled the border any time. They just didn't want to. Business owners love illegal immigrants, they work for lower pay and can't complain about shit conditions. And your politicians work for who has the money, not the voters. Most of them are A-holes, and I'm afraid if you elect an A-hole non-politician, they immediately become an A-hole politician.

    “They just didn't want to”. I agree.

    Does President Trump want to control our borders?

    Nah, it's the same thing. Trump was one of those businessmen employing illegal immigrants, he wants to look like he's doing something and make himself popular. It's all about appearances in politics. Trump insists on a wall because he promised one, and the Dems want to stop him for the same reason. Neither care about whether it would actually work or be cost effective.

    @bushpilot:

    DEMOCRACY: In its unadulterated form, it's a highly respectable ideology + is a noble objective of great minds!

    TODAY:

    - Even dictators claim theirs, as a Democratic Country
    - It's dominated by donors [well-wishers +corporations +foundations] & to degrade it further, the Lobbyists are LEGALLY permitted to prostitute it at a price!

    THIS, certainly isn't democracy as it was meant to be!

    Having said that;

    Q: Is HRC also an A-Hole to you? Yes or no?

    A:

    # Choice of leaders: WORLDWIDE, a majority deserves the governments THEY elect!

    # With technology+slyness; the ignorants are easily brainwashed + are being converted into devout followers / believers by the politicians.

    # The advocate - Michael Cohen - in a congressional hearing - “eulogized” his ex-client; The DT Himself!

    REPLYING; pl. see to which depths, democracy is being drowned!

    Loud-Mouth + Foot-in-the-Mouth = Meeting-of-Minds = Birds of SAME feather!

    N0 wonder; there's a lot of hugging+kissing+ass-tapping going on amongst these A-Holes!

    Statistically, it shows that the immigrants [legals+illegals] aren't THE problem. On it's own, the Nº of Immigrants per Year gets lesser, ANYWAY!

    In fact, there's a shortage of immigrants [REF: @DT]. They're in demand AND are welcomed:

    - by the Americans to work at very low pay-cheques
    - by the politicians to add more votes

    While building a wall is a DT-Priority; Narco-Tunnels are purposely neglected + MASSIVE corruption further ADDS fuel to the fire!

    Pl. allow me to Clarify;

    How else [statistically speaking] does the US have an honor of holding the Nº. ONE Position in the ILLEGAL Drug+Arms Exp-Imp “TRADE” - for YEARS?

    A petty criminal with a few grams is efficiently caught but TONNES of drugs Fly-In & the Latest Arms [ex lost-wars] are flown-out FLAWLESSLY!

    Does YOUR own congressperson know or care?
