Me either. Trump's executive order on border security called for one. But it appears to have never been done, or not made public or provided to Congress.

Instead we are getting pictures of prototypes sitting in a desert followed by arguments whether they can be climbed over. And Trump posing with various border patrol members behind him.

Here, what about following the legislation, the Fence Act of 2006, as amended that provides for consultation with local authorities, property owners, and Indians. Real consultation - in any design effort. Not photo ops.

I am biased, no disagreement. The man is an incompetent. Watching him demonstrate it would fascinate if were not for the fact that real people get hurt. The question becomes how much of the country actually buys off on "the show."

On reflection, that's too harsh for "real people" are already being hurt by various forces and understandably react positively to perceived champions. But this one isn't worth the faith.

Trump already has made certain that the selling of snake oil is on the high alert awareness list so you better find another product to sell the American people because most are not buying it.

If that's all you got, we'll let you have it. It was a rough day yesterday. That's for the intellectual discussion though.

So how did, Pelosi/Dr. No, help the economy ?

She is all about helping people isn't she ? No. Her power comes first.

No, in her own words or word. Its all she knows so far.

He and Republican filibusters (40% needed to filibuster) caused chaos and hurt many innocent people. Their goal is accomplished. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will soon move to appease him and Republicans, it is their way.

I hope they see the light and do otherwise, there should be strikes and lawsuits for damages and possible lost investment earnings.
