“I think we’ve hit a significant point in “the wall” debate.

Yesterday the Washington Post said Trump won Tuesday night. I repeat, even the Washington Post said Trump won the night and the argument.

Democrats are admitting Pelosi and Schumer blew it. No matter what happens now the Democrats have lost this battle. Accept no substitutes.”

This battle for the wall is of utmost importance. I am proud of Trump standing strong. I called my Senators and Congressman.

The other HUUUUGE issue here is the need to end the power of a government shutdown where Democrats “shut down”, blame Republicans, Republicans pee in their pants, Republicans cave, and the media Democrats point and laugh all the way to the next crisis. This is really a low ball and childish way to govern. We deserve better.

Now if the Republicans can learn from Trump’s fighting style and his messages about Democrats hanging together always, we will all be better off.

My two cents, leave LS alone. He has proven he isn’t interested so why do some keep poking that hibernating bear?

I forget who was going back & forth with me about steel vs concrete walls:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/test-steel-prototype-border-wall-showed-it-could-be-sawed-n956856

"TEST OF STEEL PROTOTYPE FOR BORDER WALL SHOWED IT COULD BE SAWED THROUGH"

A photo exclusively obtained by NBC News shows the results of the test after military and Border Patrol personnel were instructed to attempt to destroy the barriers with common tools.

The Trump administration directed the construction of eight steel and concrete prototype walls that were built in Otay Mesa, California, just across the border from Tijuana, Mexico. Trump inspected the prototypes in March 2018. He has now settled on a steel slat, or steel bollard, design for the proposed border barrier additions. Steel bollard fencing has been used under previous administrations.

. . .

However, testing by DHS in late 2017 showed all eight prototypes, including the steel slats, were vulnerable to breaching, according to an internal February 2018 U.S. Customs and Border Protection report.

It may be that we need to go back to the drawing boards/CAD programs.
