Maybe we should have a compromise on the Wall

For every dollar that goes to the Wall, we should have an amount that goes to Planned Parenthood, an extra amount that goes to safety net programs, an amount that goes to transgender medical care in the military, an amount that goes to the Southern Poverty Law Center, and whatever else you can think of.

I'm OK with this because I know the right wing evangelicals and the "very fine people" would freak out over this.

You KNOW if you give them this little compromise.....they will take and take and take.

I think we should not do this.

it would be hilarious to see Trump trying to make this fly with his base of racists and social "conservatives".

Let them give up the federal funds they would normally get to subsidize his stupid wall.
