An Idea
We here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. are nothing if we’re not an ideas factory.
So, the problem is that Trump is so anxious to build that damn wall that he doesn’t have time to make Mexico pay. So he says we should pay and then Mexico will reimburse us.
I’m not comfortable with that. However, I am comfortable with …
We should take advantage of having a fabulously wealthy President. He’s the one who wants the wall. So, I say Trump should pay for the wall and let Mexico pay him back.
It’ll work, I tell you.
I have read that Trump is something in the neighborhood of 1.5 billion in debt. If he defaults the banks fails and there goes a lot of people’s money, like in our pensions. China and Mexico just should nationalize the Trump’s holdings there.
1I agree that cocksplat can pay for the wall and wait to be reimbursed when we get around to it, unless we deem the work substandard and refuse to pay for it.
ALL contractors and subcontractors should require payment Up Front before they lift a shovel or hammer.
2Call your representative. Tell them you do not want to pay for the wall.
Email them regularly.
I have mine on speed dial.
I am not paying for a stinking wall when people will go without health care or food.
3Damn republicans.
I had the same idea. He can pay for it, and then he can try to invoice the US/Mexican government and we can stiff him like he stiffed his subcontractors.
4What an excellent idea! Letting President Orange(fill in the blank) pay for the wall himself and bill Mexico for it has my full support.
5Surely Uday and Qusay can print up enough raffle tickets with Ivanka to help Donnie pay for the wall.
6There is no shortage of brilliance at the WMDBS.
I not only shared this on Facebook, I just e-mailed my senators (Lisa Murkowski and Dan Carpetbagger Sullivan) and congress curmudgeon (Don Old Fart Young) to tell them exactly this.
Thanks. You are awesome!
7CJ can’t pay for the wall out of his own pocket cuz he’s got gigantic holes in all of them. He does not have the $$ he claims to have. He owes damn near all the hoity toity banking institutions on the planet amazing amounts of money and some of those banks are controlled by the governments of those countries. Plus he is not a natural born juggler. He can’t handle the cost of a 2,000 mile wall while trying like mad to convince everyone that he is the legitimate prez. I swear! One of these days the Koch brothers are going to have the revenge on him for throwing their guest out of the party in Flordia and buy up all his outstanding debts and then hit him up for immediate payment! That will be the day the Orange expletive deleted turns quite another color!
8I tweeted the Pompadoured Pumpkin @realDonaldTrump that I was short of cash this month, could he pay my share of the wall and I will repay him later.
9Trump says he is fabulously wealthy.
I suspect the “fabulout” part (“having no basis in reality; mythical”) may be more accurate than the “wealthy.”
And if Trump is a multi-billionaire, why is he so desperate to make even more money? How much is enough? Sounds like a pathology to me.
10You’ve heard the workers for the hotel at the PO in Wa DC haven’t been paid?
11Brilliant d@mn idea!
Post it everywhere. ……..#TrumpPays
12Great minds and all that. I like the idea of the Koch bros using their pocket change to by pumpkin lips’ debt and calling the loans. As pumpkin lips is broke, that’s something I would watch. As for the wall, he wants it, he pays. My representative knows me well so I’ll just dial him and let him know how everyone I know isn’t paying for that damn stupid wall. Besides no contractor will work for him. Guess he can build it himself?
13Donnie is gouging $24 a pop at the bar in his squatters hotel that he set up in OUR old post office. Send Comey over there personally every night to scoop up the bar proceeds. After we spend what is needed to guarantee universal health care, feed, educate & house all children, Donnie can have the spare change for his wall.
Or, he can pass the cup at his first cabinet meeting and keep passing the cup, until those trolls of agency destruction pay for his wall.
14fierywomqn, Donnie was deposed this week in his lawsuit with the chef who declined to work anywhere near Orange Foolius Enterprises. Classy eh, a soon to be CIC bickering with a man who has standards.
15Trump should go there and personally work on it until completion, just to make sure it’s done right. He’ll be able to stay there because he’s already set up Israel and Russia to run things in his absence.
16PLOTUS-elect pathological liar of the US-elect son in law is pushing a multi million dollar deal with Chinese Government while advising his FIL. Has illegal activities written in large letters all over it but, somehow the Government ethics committee has lost contact with the new White House staff.
17Even better, give Trump a few miles of wall to build personally. Keep him there 7 days a week for the next 4 years. Give his cabinet members and appointees the next sections over. No time off for campaigning. Give them the GOP benefits package: unaffordable health care, no retirement, 1/2 minimum wage.
18Just deport the treasonous bastards.
19He could always borrow from his Russian bankster friends.
20Extremely off topic: big celebration at slipstream’s house!
Today the sun struggled partially over the ridgeline. Sunshine hit slipstream’s windows for the first time since December 3. The sun could only stay for fifteen minutes, but it was nice to see it, and it will visit for longer tomorrow.
My house is a full 5 degrees south of the Arctic Circle, and if I lived out on the flats would receive over five hours of sunlight on the winter solstice. But I live in Eagle River, close to a 3300 foot mountain to the south, and for 34 days each winter the sun doesn’t get over the mountain at all. It’s a tad depressing.
AK Lynne understands this. The rest of you think I’m making it up.
21Oh no slip, I believe you. My friend was a rev in Shishmaresh, which I think is drowned by now. Anyway, I believe you.
22Shishmaref is at 66.25 degrees N, almost at the Arctic Circle (66.82 N). My house is in the balmy south: 61.30 N.
Yep, Shishmaref is about to be munched by the Pacific Ocean, one of the first casualties of global warming, which the next President will tell you does not exist. Try telling that to the villagers of Shishmaref.
23Donnie should have the Russians build it. Didn’t they build that nice wall in Berlin awhile back? Go with the ones with experience, right?
Now.. how do we pay for it. Oh! I know! Call it the Walls of Jericho Experience, a theme park for Kristians. This could work!
24I would only add: and the people who voted for him will chip in, right? Right…?
25Don’t worry about the WALL as the 1% wont let it happen! They would loose the people they need to be slave workers in their HUGE mansions.
26As per slipstream above, I am comfortable building more land. If Shishmaref is being swallowed, build on top just like Venus (aka Venice, but I am willing to bet the Carmine Carbuncle will misspell it).
Or point out that China makes their own islands. And what about that there feeriner Mideast country (Dubai?) that built some too?
27Much of the US/Mexican border is defined by the Rio Grande. I think a wall and/or a fence in a river isn’t going to work out too well.
28Make the wall conditional upon Drumpf’s revealing his tax returns for the last 30 years.
29No Show, No Go!

Pure genius and Hillaryous.
30I am interested how they will construct a wall down the middle of the Rio Grand in eastern Texas. Impossible no, engineering and constrution challenge, yes.
The Rio Grande in eastern Texas is shaped like a slithering snake, winding back and forth on its self, where you mave have to travel 3 or 4 river miles, before you travel a mile “as the crow flies”.
To save costs you could build the wall cross country, across private property taken by eminent domain (I’m sure with full support from Texas farmers) cutting off access to water, or by seizing land from Mexico ( I’m sure that would precipitate a war with Mexico). Likewise those US lands trapped south of the wall in this cross country design would be seized by Mexico.
A wall in the middle of the river would create issues with boat, barge operations. The wall may even redirect water to one side or the other cutting off traditional acess to water by US or Mexican farmers.
Anther lousy idea, poorly thought out, and only a few will profit from it.
I want to see a cost-benefit analysis before construction to determine if its a worthwld idea.
Hey Slipsteam, we are at Latitude 62 now (Talkeetna), and have for 20 years lived in Eagle River, fully recognizing the lack of sunlight during the winter in some locations of the valley, before we found a home not in the shadows of the mountains. On the bright side we are up to 8 hours of daylight and will begin to get longer, rapidly. YIPEE! See you around, and keep you wheels on the pavement.
31Coprolite, I have long pondered where the hell that wall is going to go.
There used to be little 9 hole golf course in Lajitas, about 30 miles past Terlingua, which is officially the end of the earth. I am told there is a big fancy resort for yankees there now and that it’s three layers of swanky crap on a crispy fire ant mound.
Anyway, this golf course had a nice little par 4 with a dog leg that set you up for the flag, which was in Mexico. You hit your second shot over the Rio Grande, but it wasn’t a raging a river most of the year. Then you walked over a rickety bridge and tried to get your par.
There wasn’t much crossing activity there because there are are mountains that Hannibal couldn’t navigate followed by a desert that would make Lawrence of Arabia cringe.
But take a look at Santa Elena Canyon. Where ya gonna put that wall? Or Boquillas Canyon right here.
Beats the hell outta me.
32JJ,
Those circus cannons (Marijuana Shooters) we talked about several months ago will work well at the canyons. Or a trebuchet to fling people across to the other side. Someone can set up a “bouncy house” on the US side for soft landings, disguised as a birthday party.
You sure have some pretty country down there. I bet it’s hot in the summer. We, Alaskan’s, can sure whine about the weather, “It’s to hot, it’s to cold”, just right it hard to achieve, 60 is about right.
33How long before they put up a GoFundMe site for the wall?
