There area lot of legal ways that will be used to block construction of the wall. Big parts of the border are in private hands; the Government can take their land by eminent domain but, if the landowners insist, they can get a federal jury trial on the value of their property before the Government can take it. Multiply that by a few thousand (or even a few hundred) landowners, and the courts along the border will be tied up for years. There are also big parts of the border that are Native American Reservations, and there will be years of court fights as to whether the federal government can build a wall if the Tribe objects.

More thank likely Trump will direct people to ignore the courts. He’s not going to get anything done if he obeys the lawless judiciary in this country.

They won’t have the support of President Trump.

They will be arrested, tried, and sentenced to prison.

Easy Peasy.. Just encamp armed National Guard along all stretches of wall being constructed.

And it will be 120 degrees from 10 miles west of San Diego California to Brownsville Texas from June to Sept., let ‘em have at it.

It was -40 wind chill for weeks in NoDak, and they were staying in teepees. Apparently temps are not a big obstacle in their insanity.

Fire Ants

Scorpions

Rattlesnakes

Cottonmouths

Wasps/Flies/Gnats

Coyotes

Rats/Mice/ Vermin

Longhorns

Texians

...and not a Starbucks or a bottle of purified spring water in sight.

Yeah, come on down SJW snowflakes and play border wall monkey wrench with the natives of the Neuces Strip.

Seems to me that boots on the ground along the Southern border makes more sense than in most of the ME or even on the DMZ in Korea (I assume they’re still there), at least in this case.

This is a fight we will win. It’s just a matter of if and how many injuries and casualties there are. And hurt feeeeeelings.

They need to do what they did in DC.

1) Let them build up their numbers unimpeded.
2) Let them cause damage/destruction.
3) Encircle and TRAP them.
4) Arrest them on Federal Rioting Charges.
5) The Swamp is then Drained.

And if it means some help from the National Guard, or the Military, then SO BE IT.

We need to look at this as an OPPORTUNITY to round up thousands of them and put them in Federal Prison System, where they belong.

No, the US Army no longer has soldiers on the DMZ. The ROK Army completely took that over a long time ago, except for a few people at the JSA.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Maybe, but the ND pipeline demonstration was as fake as most of the other riots in recent years. It persisted because its number one behind-the-scenes promoter was in the White House. With Trump there, it evaporates because officialdom isn’t in sympathy and won’t put up with it.

Obama (and Soros) used mobs. They will continue to use them, but Trump isn’t playing. So you are right, but it won’t have the same power it had when Soros’s man was president.

Lately, I keep thinking of a strange “prophecy” I read, seems like maybe ten years ago. The writer was saying he’d been sent a warning by God for Christians to stay out of the war that was coming in the middle of the country. Described the people warring as brown people. I recall thinking Muslims at the time. I once kept track of these modern prophecies, but have fallen out of the habit. That one did stick with me, though, it was just so peculiar, even among others which were not exactly ho-hum run of the mill stuff either. The warning to stay out of it, that’s what struck me.
