4. Fence!

It was supposed to be a wall, but it is turning out to be a slat steel fence from what I see.

There is a difference to me. I just would like to see the correct term used because his base should know that he promised them one thing and is substituting another, as usual.

How about "unconstitutional"?

At least there is enough questions to take it to Court, I would think?

"Illegal"?

Accuracy matters almost as much as tone of voice when expressing irritation in a non-threatening manner.

"Mexico will pay for it" rally speech and then cut to military people and disaster victims to illustrate where the money is really coming from.

That should be shown on something like "the news", maybe. Perhaps the same ones who featured all those clips of Kremlin Don yelling, "Mexico will pay for it!"

If the Supreme Court wants to uphold this, then I can think of all sorts of reallocation from the Military-industrial complex- especially if it's money to a plant in a republican state.

stop this? Vast majority of senate and house officials think a wall is a waste of money and a bad idea. Can't they get on the same page publicly and do something?
