The wall will never be built

[MajorRewrite]

Silly Politruk, it doesn't have to be a functional wall, it simply has to look imposing, in order to give the MAGA rank 'n file the illusion of safety.

That’s like the gated communities that people buy into. They seem to believe the 5 or 6 foot fence around the subdivision provides security, when it’s actually just a real estate marketing tool.

Gullible people are funny.

I happened to be fortunate to read a homeland security proposal to shift funding from completing the wall, including selling off useless scrap wall materials, to invest in drones with tranquilizer technology. They’re working on what might be a more effective and efficient deterrent application, such as a cluster bomb like dispersion of darts, an aerial firefighter-like spray/drop, or even a drone version of a noisy Warthog to instill a bit of fear while tranquing out the leading rows/column. Hegseth will be tasked with giving the green light on the best evidence based option.

I doubt that is technically possible -- if it were possible, both military and police forces would already be using it.

Oh it totally is. Pretrials have begun over the northeast, pay no attention really.

Bullshit! That's not you, that's extraterrestrials!

Well, as undocumented aliens they’ll probably work for very low wages.

Notice we still haven't heard anything about getting the Wall built.

It would cost money.

The bollard wall sections represent a small but important part of the 2000 mile border mix. However, the remarkable achievements of the first 100 days have proven that there are more effective means of securing the border.

?? So why build a wall if other methods are more effective? That sounds like an odd question, right? Don't forget the other things the felon wanted in the wall as a backup measure: alligators, no gates, cranes to lift cattle over the fences so they can get water instead. I think the idea of snipers shooting them was put on hold during his first term as something the Army turned down.

Asking for a friend who'd like to buy part of the wall to add to his brick collection from Berlin's wall.

There are sections of bollard wall that were constructed during the first term. I don’t if or how many more miles are planned. Barriers are among many things that contribute to border security.

Scuttlebutt is that part of the border from El Paso and to the East for x number of miles will be turned into a military zone.

If the wall was so important, His Assholiness would not have pardoned his mate Alex for the offence of stealing the money donated to err, build the wall.

It's mere performative politics, aimed at riling up the poorly educated who blame immigrants who want to work for everything they can imagine is wrong with the country.

 

[Politruk]

This term, Trump's highest priority seems to be cutting spending. The Wall would cost money -- why spend it, if you can achieve the same result by letting ICE off the leash?

trump is legislating the abolishment of fraud laws. Court is so expensive.

How is a pro-grifter supposed to make a living with all those pesky laws intended to stop him from ripping off the public?

When he set up a charity for children with cancer and stole the money, and a charity for pets and stole the money, and has actual convictions for fraud but his supporters still don't get that he's a grifter to the core the country has no hope.

 

[Politruk]

Notice Trump doesn't talk about the Wall any more? Even he seems to have given up on the idea.
