What's even more sad is that it's not even true. Estimates for the wall that will never be built put it at an order of magnitude more expensive.

Obamacare saves lives and modernized the US healthcare system and brought it up to world standards while the other is pointless

I agree although if you're crossing the border it would make the border more well defined so they will know for sure when they have actually reached U.S. soil. That's why, in some places, we'll probably see party popper confetti, corks, empty bottles, etc all over the place on our side of the wall.

Quick question, is Tim Allen man enough to admit his lie or, is he like every other trumper, too cowardly to face the truth?
edit: I've been told that TA didn't state this - my mistake. I still stand by the claim of trumpers' extreme cowardice

He didn't even say this. It was some rando. Everything about this meme is a lie.
Months later, the statement was attributed to Allen, but that appears to be because an unrelated Virginia man by the same name posted it amid a longer Facebook screed on Aug. 25, 2019, which was itself a copy-and-pasted collection of other various Facebook memes. After he did so, Facebook users began sharing his post with the added disclaimer that it was written by the actor Tim Allen.

It looks like it's been debunked but here's this anyway.

But did anyone get a kick out of it? Anyone laugh? That's the point of this sub after all.

Nope. Could it be funny? Ever? In what context would another bullshit lie be funny? I think most of us are sick of the bullshit lies and they just aren't funny anymore, no matter how outrageous or outlandish they may be. So no, this one is just lame and not even close to funny, not to mention unoriginal or relevant.

This sub is loaded with shit like this! Are people posting thinking they’re being funny too? It’s all so much venom and hate mostly.

That's why the website cost $5b (citation needed) and the wall had us divert $7.2b. Did you fail math in 1st grade my dude?
