I don't have the exact specifics in front of me, but a one time cost to build the wall is cheaper than how much illegal immigrants costs us on a yearly basis.
I want to stop the bleeding from the wound is all. Yeah the band-aid is expensive, but once it's on, it's on baby.

Its like putting a band aid over 3 bullet holes and saying its fixed guys!

What part of the wall will not stop people legally entering this country and overstaying their visas do you not understand?

Why does Jimmy Kimmel trigger me so much? Oh yeah, he's a pompous douche who pretends to feel the "plight of average Americans" while he sits in his 10 million dollar mansion.

Because like any other rich liberal he's a personification of "do what I say not as I do" rich people like him don't get to talk about the pains of the poor or healthcare or gun control when they don't have to ever worry about that shit ever.

So they disagree with you on these issues so they don't get to talk about them? Lmao conservatives.

So in other words, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, if you really felt this strongly about a do nothing wall you'd have the specifics memorized. Now explain to me right now how a wall is suppose to cover privately owned land by citizens without robbing those citizens at gunpoint for it?


Theyre given fair market value.

That's not how it works.

And in a broader sense, do you people honestly think "LOL OSCARS GOT POLITICAL!" is a main reason why the ratings have kept dipping down? That's completely absurd and flies in the face of facts. Ratings were falling prior to that, ratings in things that have nothing to do with politics have fallen, and as streaming became more prevalent more options are available. Like, come the fuck on people.

No, you're absolutely right in providing the other reasons why ratings are down. They are legit. It's 2018 - we have lots of other means of entertainment now. I do, think, however, that some Hollywood celebrities are completely out of touch with reality, and there is a large portion of people that really are dumbfounded by their beliefs and how they're spreading their messages.

CE likes to ignore everything else you said and assume it's only political because THEY hate those political views. If hollywood's views are pro-conservative they'd be changing their tune and idolizing Kimmel. *Hurp derp he wants to protect our ammendments what a great comedian hurp derp*. LMAO

That's based on bullshit. Children born in the United States are 100% citizens doesn't matter if their parents are illegal immigrants.


He didnt say anything about the children. Even if he did youre still wrong in your analysis. If illegal aliens could not come here then their children would not be born here, and thus funding for those children would not be required.

We fund child education for a reason. It's the basis of modern society.

Variety broke the story on the Nielsen numbers, delivering the specifics. The first three hours of the telecast earned an 18.9 household rating and 32 share in Nielsen's monitored markets, which cover about 70% of the viewership in the United States. This represents a 16% dip from the 2017 Oscars, which earned a 22.5 household rating with a 37 share.

not an all time low, but low from last year

Technically, it would keep illegals out, at least until someone (or several someones) tunneled underneath it, or simply propped an extension ladder on both sides, or just ran a motorboat across the Rio Grande or San Diego Bay or the gulf.

Overstays were legal at one time, then, you know, overstayed.

So you literally have nothing?

Gun laws also dont drop a $100+ billion bill on taxpayers and doesnt forceably kick people off of their land to build such a waste of money. Gun laws also dont have millions of dollars in upkeep every year to patrol and maintain such a money pit.

So besides those two glaring things, yeah theyre basically the same bill.

Seeing as having a conservative (and therefore not allowed) opinion on things would end their careers, of course they are going to talk liberal. It just makes sense.

The rise of Marvel is coincidental with the award given to Heath Ledger as the last award of any real significance given to a superhero movie.

Suicide Squad winning an Oscar for writing "Damaged" on Jared Leto's forehead is kind of funny to think about, though.
