Fiscal conservatives are somehow fine with this?

Just playing his base. Notice how "wall" has been changed to "border security"

Trump won with a whopping 25% of the voting population, and not everyone who voted for him wanted the wall; many just hate Hillary and took the other option.

"American taxpayers" don't all agree on much of anything. I have seen several people on here claim that a majority of Americans support the wall, but there's absolutely no concrete evidence to support the claim. I could just as easily claim that a majority of people oppose the wall, but all I have to support that is polls (because polls are SO trustworthy) and the fact that very few people I know support it (my friend base isn't a perfectly representative sample of our politically divided America - no one's is, at this point).

I pay my share of taxes, no more or less. Politicians are subject to income tax like everyone else, though there are plenty of loopholes for the ones who are wealthy (which is a completely unsurprisingly high percentage of them). The fact that they're politicians doesn't give them these tax breaks, though - their wealth does.

Weather and climate are not the same thing. It drives me insane when I hear people say, in all seriousness, that a single unseasonably warm or cold day is evidence of climate change.

I grew up in southern Alberta up here in Canuckistan. There are "chinook" weather front's that cause it to go from -50 to +20 as much as 4 times per winter.That's been going on since long before we settled the area. I've seen a blizzard in July. Weathermen and women cannot predict the weather to save their lives, politicians lie and sell snake oil. We all of us need to stop rewarding failure, no matter what party you think your values lie with. MERITOCRACY NOW, Someone meme that
