    How is any of this a win? You talk above calling the dems impotent for being wrong about votes in the house. Yet, Trump told us all thousands of times that Mexico was going to pay for the wall. They haven't. They won't. So now you are celebrating the idea that corporations could help pay for it. American companies are not Mexico, last I checked. Also, having companies spend money on a needless wall during a downturn in the economy spells a possible disaster. Expecting wealthy companies to bail out Trum's ego is a fail, and could be considered a "tax" by proxy.

    Continue to celebrate Trump's impotence, if that is the sort of thing you are into.

    Does he have the 60 votes needed in the Senate? You sound like one of those House reps that went out to the front steps celebrating their repealing the Affordable Care Act only to find out, it died in the Senate, lol. :biglaugh:

    I think maris is actually Sarah Sanders, in other words, a Trump puppet.

    Great, let his idiot supporters fund the wall then. As long as it doesn't add to the rapidly growing deficit is fine with me. Maybe trumps foundation can help fund the wall as well. Oh wait, it was a fake foundation and has been shut down. :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Nah. I've met Maris. Sarah comes off like a useless puppet that tells only lies. Maris is a gentleman, with a very kind wife. Never compare him with Sanders.

    I read somewhere that the gofundme guy A: can't actually donate the money to build the wall and B: legally doesn't have to do anything with the money.

    So...grifter?

    This thread title is wrong it should read "Trump Will Cause the Government to Shut Down."

    Never met him and likely never will. I only judge on what he posts and it's basically a Sarah Sanders puppet like commentary. The proof is in the reading of his posts.

    I use to think that way. However, now I try to separate the post from the poster. I think it was mags that did the trick. mags is a great guy with some controversial ideas. mags' mom is one the nicest ladies I and my wife have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've got a feeling Maris and his family is in that sort of group of likeable people with odd ideas.

    Fair is fair, maris probably thinks we have odd ideas but hopefully thinks we are just as nice.

    Edit: Now I've got to grit my teeth and walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Hope I don't slip too often.

    This has nothing to do with nice has nothing to do with a posters mom or wife. It is simply based on a posters views that I have read on here and his posts come across very similar to what we hear from Sanders.

    This is what I'm referring to -
    "I think maris is actually Sarah Sanders, in other words, a Trump puppet."
    This is a remark about the poster and not his post.
    You are going to dispute it so I'm going to drop it.

    Oh come on lanny. It was very obvious that was sarcasm. Let's not make this into something it isn't. maris does puppet the trump speak. Just like Sanders does.

    A) The Party of No Taxes is Libertarian. "Old-School" republicans like my dad and grandfathers would've said "limited government, paid by small taxes." I have no idea WTF the Republican platform is today, though it seems the Tea Party is more up that alley.
    B) Voluntary donations are one of the principles they live by. I don't go as far as some do, but I "voluntarily donate" to my church every month. I would not be a fan of a tithe to the party of the President's committee. I am not a fan of income or estate tax. I don't mind consumption taxes, though I think they're regressive as hell. But w/e.
