Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Republicans voted to fund Planned Parenthood, but not the border wall?

It would answer a lot of questions and clear up a lot of doubt, wouldn't it?

No, it would not. Anyone who has been making excuses this long, going on 10-12 years now, will certainly find some new ones. "Oh, the scotus!' "oh! we'll get a tax cut!' "oh! the military needs us!'

I already had a pretty clear picture of how worthless and feckless the majority of the GOP congress critters are....

They're not worthless to their constituents, the ones who run the show; Medical/industrial complex, Wall Street, Military/industrial complex and neo cons everywhere.

there will never be a wall, just security fencing on sections of the border, everybody claims victory, that's politics....

If you mean, one long contiguous Great Wall of America - of course there won't be, but despite claims to the opposite, it wasn't pitched that way.
Apparently in politics, perception of something becomes stated FACT - if the Carl Vinson is headed to North Korea, it means it's steaming there straight away and making no scheduled stops even if made a long time ago.

It's been stated many times and observed that there are places along the border where a contiguous wall CANNOT be built - like along the cliffs of a steep canyon. So something has to be created that functions every bit as well as a wall.

You get it Sam, as always. Have you ever considered running for office. You would be outstanding, and the hope for change that we were/are looking for. :smile: :patriot:

Actually, it was pitched that way by candidate Trump. During plenty of appearances shown on TV and on his campaign Website.

I actually saw him - then - make a lot of "well, some could be fences and some could be natural" type of expounding comments throughout the campaign.

THAT is what you came up with? The first two don't say anything at all. He's going to build a wall.

This is what I said earlier about perception on the part of his opponents turning into fact - he says "wall" and everyone thinks 20 foot high opaque barrier from sea to shining sea, even though given the terrain, it's basically impossible. And BECAUSE he said wall, their perception is what he said.

You're "hearing" things he's not saying. Your mind is filling in the rest.
