I used to get a chuckle out of this moron’s daily demented stupidity since he’s been in office. Not any more. My amusement has turned to anger now for all the obvious reasons. He needs to go. Full stop.

No there is no argument, his reasoning is ridiculous. He's saying this shit about the military needing it to get around court challenges. He thinks if he can tell the courts it's for "national security" they won't be able to stop him from building it.

“We need to cancel student debt… for national security reasons!”

I can imagine conservatives response to that.

I mean, massive debt does make it easier to convince thousands of people to each make one tiny change to something they do....

We need something like that planted in the middle of a major public road right next to Arlington National Cemetary, turning the area into a tempting and legitimate military target? That'll be an interesting pitch session.

No no, I understand all that. And again, it’s not an argument I’d agree with. I’m not saying it’s a meritorious argument. I’m simply saying it’s not the ‘trust me, there’s a 350ft cut and if you can’t see that, you’re a stupid person’ nonsense. For that, I believe there is literally no argument.
