And it does not need to take long at all. By 2018 there can be a tremendous impact.

My darkest timeline prediction is that the DoJ uses the Voting Rights Act to take over voting in New York and California.

Florida could be a possibility too since the state government wouldn't fight them and fewer votes would have to be suppressed to make sure it stays Republican. But if the election there is close they can just throw out a few hundred thousand votes like they did in 2000.

However, maternal deaths from pregnancy do happen especially in third world countries where medical care is spotty and low quality if you can get any at all. Abortion isn't a totally safe procedure either and deaths occasionally happen especially in third world countries.

There's around 250k maternal deaths each year worldwide. It's incredibly lower than it used to be even 25 years ago. If access to education and medical care is reduced then clearly there will be deaths.

Does "Ending Labor Market Arbitrage" ever come up on Fox & Friends? If not, Sando may be out of luck in that department.

Has Trump decided where the wall is going to be built yet? This question has never been answered by Trump, anyone on his team, or any Trump supporter. So just to be clear, all Trump is doing is pissing off a crucial ally who we share a border with over a boondoggle that will never happen.

We'll have to build roads just to get to places to build the wall.

Won't add that many jobs and also it's a giant waste of $ but things like that don't matter.

In trump's world his allies are russia and to a lesser extent because of trade deficits he hates china and those type of those leaders across the world who run gov't the way he wants to and everyone else can go **** off.

Where specifically on the whole border? This is the crucial question that will remain unanswered.

Hint: there's nowhere to build it that doesn't create massive problems for the US population or start a War with Mexico.

I think the wall is a historically ******ed idea, but what has been crucial about our relationship with Mexico? From our standpoint.

Trade relationship aside, because I doubt you'll agree with me on that, there's the simple fact that it's really important to have a favorable and peaceful relationship with your neighbor.

Also, aside from the Iraq War, which Mexico opposed, they have generally been a military ally of the US in modern history.

You don't get to both act like an authority and demand that the smart kids do your homework for you.

Sando, you continue to be the most distressing example of susceptibility to ideological midgetry that I've ever seen. I don't get it. You are not this dumb.

A large portion of the exact line is a major river. Are you suggesting a giant wall is going to be built in the middle of the Rio Grande?

BTW, the entire media is derelict in their duty for never pressing this exact line of questioning with Trump.

Anywhere there's a land border.

That's a good point about what he'll do about the river. Maybe a wall on the US side of it (lol) or mexico's. Man, I don't even know because details on these things aren't things trump does. That's someone else's problem.
