Pelosi: 'The border wall is immoral'

Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-Calif.) spoke and gestured at a press conference Thursday as she is yet again, the presumptive incoming Speaker of the House. She criticized the idea of having a border wall to protect U.S. sovereignty and enhance our ability to screen who comes into the country.

She said that a border wall is "immoral" when asked by a reporter about the chances that a Continuing Resolution (CR) passed by the House of Representatives might fund the project. Pelosi's incoherent response was that such funding is for "border security." She thinks a wall, like the one around her home for security, goes a step too far.

She waved her hands around as she searched her failing mind for the right words and spaketh in dentures and tongues:
". . . most of us, speaking for myself, consider the wall immoral, ineffective, expensive, and the president said he promised it. He also promised Mexico would pay for it. So, even if they did, it's immoral still . . .
"We have a responsibility, all of us, to secure our borders – north, south, and coming in by plane...and that's a responsibility we honor, but we do so by honoring our values as well."
And let us never forget that even those coming here illegally who belong to MS-13 or other gangs, or have criminal records, DUI's, drug crimes, and other felonies, still have a spark of that good ole "Pelosi divinity."

The battle over the wall, a campaign promise of a southern border wall, hit a fever pitch as the House and Senate on Thursday passed a stopgap spending bill, [as has become a political habit], in order to continue funding the government and avoid a shutdown. Both parties have until December 21 to devise a budget plan.

Democratic leaders were supposed to meet with President Trump this week, but the meeting had to be rescheduled following the death of former President George H.W. Bush and a funeral that would make a king blush if he weren't dead.

The meeting will now take place on Tuesday morning.

I know of one way we can save some spending that can then be redirected for the wall: stop funding Planned Parenthood! That should have been done when Trump first sat in the Oval Office and the House and Senate had a GOP majority.

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck "Meganostrils" Schumer (D-NY) echoed Pelosi's feelings about a border wall, whining:
"As everyone knows, Democrats have offered to pass the bipartisan DHS appropriations bill, agreed to six months ago, which includes $1.6 billion for border security.
"Now there has been some confusion about that figure. Let me be clear: the $1.6 billion cannot be used to construct any part of President Trump’s 30-foot-tall concrete border wall. It can only be used for fencing, using technology currently deployed at the border, and only where the experts say fencing is appropriate and makes sense as a security feature. This is something Democrats have always been for – smart, effective, appropriate border security.
"This is so good that every Republican appropriator signed off on that bill a few months ago, including Leader McConnell, Senator Shelby, Senator Rubio, and Senator Graham. They were all for it. This is a bipartisan compromise proposal. Now if they cannot go for that, the proposal they signed off on and negotiated, because President Trump is pounding on the table in an irrational way, there’s a second option."
Time is running out for the GOP's power options. They have until January 3rd to get something done. Trump needs to put his tweeting on hold long enough to get things done--even if it's just defunding PP.

And forget Mexico--ain't gonna happen.
