When we rip down and totally replace a badly broken and dilapidated Barrier on the Southern Border, something which cannot do the job, the Fake News Media gives us zero credit for building a new Wall. We have replaced many miles of old Barrier with powerful new Walls!

I am pleased to announce that a deal has been struck with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy – on a two-year Budget and Debt Ceiling, with no poison pills….

The big story is that Trump is a liar. How many times has he shamelessly gone on twitter and said at his rallies that he is building the wall? Now of course we laughed at his obvious lies but a LOT of these MAGApedes believe him. https://t.co/Wwh79dmJ1f

Trump’s biggest campaign promise was stopping the invasion, not releasing felons from prison or moving an embassy in Israel. Yet his biggest campaign promise is his biggest failure. While you’re all distracted by his contrived AOC/Omar drama, here’s what’s really happening. pic.twitter.com/jqpjshaFol

A “much needed culture war.” Trump is engaging in the same endless, distracting, boring “culture war” Republicans have weaponized over the past 50 years. It’s worse this time in that he equates fervent Zionism with being patriotic. (Dubya never did that.)

The Trump Administration is working every day to oppose and eradicate anti-Semitic hate crimes and ideology. https://t.co/pPQNcO2bNL
Everyone right now: FUCK Trump he’s gay.

Lots of people focusing on the WashExaminer article about Trump not building a single new mile of border wall. That is all because of capitulating on budget fights. We are now in middle of another one and Republicans are getting read to cave.

“SAN DIEGO, California — The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.”
In a statement last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency overseeing border barrier construction, confirmed that all the fencing completed since Trump took office is “in place of dilapidated designs” because the existing fence was in need of replacement.
The agency said that it had built 51 miles of steel bollard fence with funding that was set aside during fiscal 2017 and 2018. But while the funding was meant both to replace outdated walls and to place barriers where there previously had been none, the government has only completed the replacement projects. The projects to secure areas with no fence are still in the works.
The 50 miles of completed replacement barrier is a 10-mile gain since early April. In Trump’s two and a half years in office, his administration has installed an average 1.7 miles of barrier per month, and none of it in areas that did not previously have some sort of barrier. A total 205 miles of new and replacement barrier has been funded in the two and a half years since Trump took office. …”
I’ve mixed up the content of this website and shifted far more heavily into history mainly because there is nothing to dissect but betrayal and failure when it comes to the Blompf administration.
Blompf just announced a new two year budget deal on Twitter. The reason the wall was never built is because Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell passed on every opportunity to fund one in the budget during the two years in which the Republicans controlled both the House and Senate. Perhaps he will get to building the wall around FY 2022. It’s only a temporary setback!
