Trump Is Getting His Wall

What is it with our best-paid friends in the conservative media these days? They seem stuck on doom-and-gloom no matter the facts. Do they not know what is in the spending bill Congress just passed? Or is there just some playbook of pessimism they follow to keep their audiences? Or are they so lazy they just follow along with fake newscasters that since Trump is getting a mere bollard fence, it isn’t a “wall”, even though the Border Patrol experts favor this design, as it allows them to see through the other side for potential climbers? (I still kind of like Herman Cain’s electric fence, though)   

Ann Coulter’s last column is typical, where she ridicules Mr. Trump’s OMB director for somehow agreeing not to build the Trump Wall in the just passed Continuing Resolution deal with Congress.

But in reality, there is plenty of money in this year’s CR as even one liberal source grudgingly confirmed  for Trump’s border wall -- both to repair 20 miles of existing steel pedestrian barrier (important, as illegals have cut holes in the most desirable locations) and to replace another 20 miles of the worthless “vehicle barrier” with the good bollard designs. Many more miles will be added this fall as well when Congress does next year’s full budget.

Just one of many things for the nattering nabobs of #nevertrumpism to dwell upon.

Never happy, never their way, never never never.

??? This subject has been discussed several times in here; yes, the budget does include some funding for the wall; but it is to replace parts of the existing wall that are either dilapidated or inadequate.  Also included in the budget is text prohibiting any future funding of a wall.

Ann was one Trump's biggest supporters.  Alas, I don't think she trusts him a whole lot anymore. 

As I recall, Ann was pretty disgusted with the Obamacare debacle--now with the border wall issue, too, it seems.  Maybe Trump will get the wall; most of us NeverTrumpers actually hope that he will.   

You see, contrary to the nonsensically nattering Trumpsters, we NeverTrumpers don't want Trump to fail;  however, we have never trusted Trump.  That's completely different.  (Even some of Trump's closest associates have said that he lies all the time, by the way.) 

My own disgust with now-POTUS Trump began on Inauguration Day when Trump said Bill and Hillary were "good people."  If he believes that, he is an utter fool.  If he doesn't believe it, he is a liar.  You get to take your pick. 

Under circumstances like that, I would suggest that you quit taking every conceivable opportunity to malign principled, patriotic NeverTrumpers.  It will usually backfire on you, as I have just demonstrated.

Forty miles? He's crowing about forty stinking miles?

Promises are promises....

But border crossings are way down, what the wall seems to assure is some sort of ongoing plan into the future, 10, 20 years from now.

Enforcement is really what would work the best in my opinion.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that (General) Swing. First they had to get the corrupt Border Patrol agents off of the southern border.

Well, at that rate it will only take most of 50 years to build it. Job security...

[Hondo69]

There are a lot of border experts who have never been to the border, talked with a border agent or even watched an episode of U.S. Border Patrol.

And while we're at it, how many immigration experts have talked about fixing a broken immigration system during the past 5 years?

Job Security indeed - for two generations... The pensions alone... It boggles the mind.

That is not correct.  20 miles are repairs of existing fence. 

Still 20 miles is 20 miles.  I feel safer.  You don't feel it because you're a nattering nabob of #nevertrumpism



Thank you GOP Congress and President Trump for this single step.

SO MUCH WINNING!

[Smokin Joe]

And here, I thought that was attributed to Mao Tse Tung.
Maybe it was just because he used it so much.
Learn something new every day.

Maybe it's a 12 step program.
Maybe in a couple hundred years, when it is finally done, it can be revamped and used as a tourist attraction.

Yes true, I wasn't talking about me. I'm talking about them.

@truth_seeker

Ann Coulter wrote a book called "In Trump We Trust."  Is she #nevertrump now?

Of course, if she were there would be nothing wrong with it.  Since when is it a shameful thing to dislike politicians?

I prefer Pink Floyd's Wall.

What did I say months ago? He would take credit for the existing construction and plans going in under the Secure Fence Act as his own creation and his fans would cheer 'he did it!' .

[libertybele]

Yep ... and those 40 stinking miles are here and there and aren't new -- they are existing fence/wall in need of repair.

I'll take another brick in the wall..

You were obviously correct.  Chances are the Trumpsters/LIV don't even know about the Secure Fence Act.
