Many of them will sue and stall the project hopefully. Courts would not see any emergency IMO. dameatball Jan 2019 #12

I assume that Mexico isn't going to allow construction of wall on their side of the border, and running wall through the middle of a river doesn't seem feasible. The only other alternative is to give away the Rio Grande to Mexico.

That is after all, what Mexico calls it since it was Mexican land until the Treaty of Guadalupe. I am sure they'll be happy to have it back.

And no one asked why President Half Day wasn't in any danger at the border today? No fear of beheadings?

Obviously the only involvement he has had in his own projects is telling someone else to do it.

But don't tell him about it. Then let him go on TV and talk as much as he can before collapsing.

Even if he did know about the probe he wouldn't be able to not lie. He'd lie no matter the damage done to himself. Wouldn't be able to help himself.

But the ratings!

No surveys, no environmental impact statements, no eminent domain proceedings, no architectural drawings, no letting bids, no lag time ordering and delivering materials.

Just waive your hand, Donnie.

and as soon as he tells them to pack up and move to Brownsville, or El Paso most construction companies will call their guys, load the equipment and be on their way south.

Ahhhhhhh, getting paid to be snowbirds. How much greater can it get?

Do i have to add the "sarcasm" thingy?
