    I'm surprised not to see any threads on this, one of Trump's main promises:

    Yep, 'build the wall, lock her up, healthcare for all'. All empty rhetoric designed to convince his empty-headed fans to vote.

    And don't forget that Mexico should pay this wall against them too ... Will be interesting when the US money collector made with 5,000 marines an invasion to Mexican treasury ministry to confiscate it there, eh?

    Or you can build up a wall like it was in Berlin. Enough specialists from Ex communist East Germany are for sure alive to give assistance how to build perfectly with deadly things.

    Once there was an US President with name Reagan who stood in West Berlin in front of this wall and told "Mr. Gorbatschow, tear down this wall..."
    Who will do this at Mexican Wall then ... Mr. Putin?

    We need to build one so we can tear it down, no light without darkness.

    IO think I saw it in "The Lightbulb Conspiracy" that East Germany companies used to build products so good they was no need to replace them - because there was no consumer culture in communism, they went out of buisness soon after the wall fell because they sold just a few products compared to the Western companies that replaced theirs evry few years or so, so maybe that was what assisted to create the high quality of German wares ? no ? maybe just a little ?

    Landowners along the Texas border are angry that Trump is saying he'll take their land using eminent domain.

    Ok, this is more off topic in this thread, ... anyway:

    "Made in Germany" label was a British invention. Done by them to blame them as not British to customers in their Empire, but this shot went backwards against them. The customers told then "No, I want to have Made in Germany goods"...

    Anyway, that East German industry was ruins is well-known as the fact that there made 3 or more people the same job as 1 in the West to prevent unemployed people. In fact were of course good East German products existing too. Some died out of several economic reasons, others survive until today.

    The Lightbulb Conspiracy is at least a conspiracy issue only, but even if this true or not, facts are facts and there numerous examples where out companies and corporations on this globe hide excellent inventions to prevent their business! Examples:

    #1
    The pantyhose for women made of nylon do not hold forever ... The fact is that there are some that never break down and do not cost much in production. The manufacturers do not want this, of course, and this invention disappeared in a drawer!
    #2
    Every internal combustion engine needs oil and also a regular oil change. For real? No ... There are engines that do not need any oil change in life, but that would be an economic owner if you do not have to sell a new oil, etc. So go to the drawer and do not talk about it anymore!
    #3
    The Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device is designed to alleviate painful pimples of the body without drugs. In 1974, Johnson & Johnson bought StimTech, one of the first companies to sell these types of equipment, and then turned off the money for the TENS department (Ex StimTech) until it flopped. StimTech then sued the court and accused Johnson & Johnson of deliberately stamping the TENS technology in order to protect the sales figures of their cash taker Tylenol (pain medication). Johnson & Johnson responded that the TENS device had never worked and was not profitable.
    StimTech's founder got 170 million US dollars, even the process was terminated due to a form error. However, the court's investigation result that Johnson & Johnson had really suppressed TENS equipment to protect their medication was never recalled.

    Or an other nice example in other direction of depressing innovation for mankind...
    In 2001, Rick Simpson, of Nova Scotia, discovered how skin cancer on his skin disappeared after treating her for a few days with essential oil from marijuana. Since then, Simpson and others have treated thousands of cancer patients with great success.Spanish researchers have confirmed that THC, an active component of marijuana, can kill brain cancer cells in humans and also the treatment of breast, stomach and liver tumors looks promising.
    The United States Food and Drug Administration, on the other hand, classifies marijuana as a directory I drug, which means that it has no accepted medical benefit, unlike Directory II where real drugs, such as cocaine and methamphetamines are named and get accepted as medicine, because they might have a medical benefit. Real fun spoilers and for sure is DEA behind the scenes active.

    I think it is way better than all empty rhetoric designed to convince his empty-headed rivals to beg for evil globalist terms.

    Did you read the link? They can't even get the first installment of $1.5B this year to even look at buying a brick.

    They stated that they will look at granting finance "at a later time"in the way that a child asks if you can buy them that toy and you flick your hand at them and say "later".

    Nothing says megalomaniac like a YUGE wall built with your name on it. Luckily even the GOP is not going to pay for that.Just another unachievable campaign promise. Game over, suck it up.......
