Set up a booth and video cam to greet the workers at the wall building
Use some spare equipment from Trump Tower

Washington, D.C. (Accredited Times) — We are in an extreme emergency, comrades. I repeat. An extreme emergency. Mayday, mayday, mayday. All progressives to xer posts. All progressives to xer posts.
OK, now sit down for a minute because I don’t want you to faint.
Donald Trump is building the wall. Yes, the full f*cking wall. As in: “Wooohoooo, ‘Murica First! Let’s kick out the Moslims and Mexicans! MAGA!” That wall. We are now officially in the greatest crisis since Joan Rivers disclosed Michael Obama’s sex change.
After Congress passed the massive Consolidated Appropriations Act, both the accredited and unaccredited media told us that progressives won bigly because the Act contained no funding for the wall. Nancy Pelosi even assured us that “Democrats won explicit language restricting border construction to the same see-through fencing that was already authorized under current law.”
Then Trump perplexingly signed the Act into law. Had Trump betrayed his “America First” base? Had Trump seen the error of his ways and become a progressive? Apparently not, because the orange bastard is now building the very wall that Nancy Pelosi said he couldn’t build. Oh, and by the way, progressives just gave away the only real leverage that we had to force Trump to pass an amnesty for DREAMers. In other words, this is a complete f*cking nightmare.
Let me walk you through everything.
As an initial matter, Pelosi is technically correct that the Consolidated Appropriations Act contains explicit language imposing restrictions on border wall construction with respect to certain funds. Section 230 of the Act (starting on page 673) states: “Of the amount made available in this Act under ‘U.S. Customs and Border Protection—Procurement, Construction, and Improvements,’ $1,571,000,000 shall be available only as follows . . .” (emphasis added). Section 230 then lists a limited number of border fencing projects, including “$251,000,000 for approximately 14 miles of secondary fencing . . . along the southwest border in the San Diego Sector,” “$445,000,000 for 25 miles of primary pedestrian levee fencing along the southwest border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector,” “$196,000,000 for primary pedestrian fencing along the southwest border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector,” and “$445,000,000 for replacement of existing primary pedestrian fencing along the southwest border.” Overall, Pelosi is right that the Act substantially restricts Trump’s ability to use this money for the “Great Wall of Trump.”
Trump, however, has apparently outsmarted Pelosi and the Democrats — which probably shocks you as much as it shocks us. Although the Act undoubtedly restricts Trump’s ability to use certain “U.S. Customs and Border Protection” funds for the wall, nothing stops Trump from using the massive military funds that he also received under the Act for exactly the same purpose. And now Trump has flat-out stated via Twitter (where else?) that he plans on doing just that:
Because of the $700 & $716 Billion Dollars gotten to rebuild our Military, many jobs are created and our Military is again rich. Building a great Border Wall, with drugs (poison) and enemy combatants pouring into our Country, is all about National Defense. Build WALL through M! - 6:33 AM - Mar 25, 2018
Yes, you read that correctly. Trump has ordered his deplorables to “build” the “WALL” through the “M” — i.e., the military.
Last year, Democrats attempted to remove Trump’s ability to spend defense authorizations for border security. But, shockingly, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and his goons on the House Rules Committee removed the Democrats’ proposed prohibition from the final bill. As a result, there is literally nothing stopping Trump from using ordinary defense funding for border security and defensive fortifications along the Southern border.
Complete. F*cking. Disaster.
Progressives, of course, can challenge Trump in court. But with only four Democrat-appointed Supreme Court Justices, it would be extremely difficult to block construction, particularly given that the President, as Commander-in-Chief, has broad discretion in spending defense appropriations for fortifications and national security.
In yet another tweet, Trump also promised to start construction “immediately,” noting that the $1.6 billion is a “downpayment” and that the “rest of the money will come” (presumably from defense appropriations in light of his prior tweet):
Much can be done with the $1.6 Billion given to building and fixing the border wall. It is just a down payment. Work will start immediately. The rest of the money will come - and remember DACA, the Democrats abandoned you (but we will not)! 6:42 AM - Mar 25, 2018
We are seriously screwed. This is honestly more sickening than the dolphin rape article that MDB posted the other day. I think I’m going to throw up.
I want to see live camera action!
That is a VERY confusing website and article (and comments).
It must be satire. I can’t tell who is making fun and poking fun at what. Some seem politely angry while others are mocking liberals and others mocking Trump and they all seem bi-polar.
This can’t be taken seriously one way or another for any information I can glean.

And label it as TRUMP IN 2020
They are not Republicans. Democrat-Communist moles. How else do you explain their lack of courage, campaigning on a Conservative agenda and then moving to the left after elected. Perfect example - Obamacare. They voted an sent a Bill repealing Obamacare to Obama when it meant nothing but would not vote the same way under President Trump. You mistaken if you think I would be loyal to the GOPe itself? Ha! I won’t send them money until they purge moles. There is a new party that hasn’t quite materialized to the point of really establishing a real home yetyet. It is made up of red pilled libertarians, Democrats & Republicans who came together under Trump.
I’ll take this with a grain of site until I see it reported on a real web site.
But man, the dickless hair-on-fire types just kept goin' on and on and on with their panic rather than taking some time to THINK IT THROUGH !
Stay the f**k outta my foxhole.
I think is very likely that any US District judge who rules Trump’s actions unconstitutional will be shocked into reality by meeting the reincarnation of Andrew Jackson, asserting the presidents’ co-equal status with the judiciary, and superiority in matters of national defense.
This website is satire, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will

Million Dollar Bonus is poster on Zerohedge.com, always satire and this looks like his site.
I admit that I too was concerned when PRESIDENT (I never tire of saying that) Trump signed the bill. No excuse ... but the surrender monkeys and doomsayers that seem to have recently infested the ranks of FR had some influence with that. It took about 15 minutes before I remembered that DJT is no fool and is 100% for America. At that point I decided to reserve judgement and comment and give Trump some well deserved faith ... I am glad I did
I want The Wall as much, or more, than anyone. See my tagline, which I’ve had since sometime mid 2016.
But we aren’t getting a Wall now, just some temporary metal fencing.
Better than nothing, but only by an inch.
Good Article if others want some history on this - I’m wondering if this wasn’t THE PLAN all along - and who is behind the curtain advising Trump ??? (surely not Ryan)
