    Remember how important that was to keep all the dirtbags out? Did my people in Mexico ever send a check? Did it even get started? Are we safer now?

    It was released as an Album under the Pink Floyd banner. So, it was started, finished, there was even a movie about it.
    30,000 were sold in the Mexican market, so yes, your people paid for it. Not as many as the 495,000 that were sold in Poland, but your people did pay for it.
    .. and yes, we are safer now that the failed tyrant is no longer in power, but that has nothing to do with the wall.

    They've decided to move it and surround Texas and Florida instead....actually a section of it fell down...other article I read some time ago said parts were said to have been cut at the base and carted off for scrap metal...probably to make machetes or bullets with

    OK, I just forgot to say that ironically, the people that supported it are the same ones that chant "we don't need no education".

    I thought our version was "we don't have no education"

    It fell over. Good thing all the companies who put in bids were thoroughly vetted.

    “I’m still here. Why is everyone always acting like I’m dead? Why is this tread in the OT section? WTF?”

    They moved on to the next grift. In this case, it was the "stolen election" grift.

    So they didn’t finish the wall…so i guess we aren’t safe? And nobody answered me, did Mexico pay for what WAS built? Do we know how much wall was built exactly?

    The new American strategy to make Mexico pay for the wall, was to make the homelessness situation so bad in this country that the Mexicans now have an incentive to build the wall, and pay for it, in order to keep those crazy MF'ers out. It's 3d geo-political chess at its finest.

    There was not a lot of new wall actually built. A few hundred miles.

    Most of the money was spent on repairing old sections, and even that was taken from the Defense Dept. because his own Republican Congress would not give him any money for it.

    Should have gone with “Happy Rock Hooters”. The possibilities for the cheerleaders’ outfits alone should have mandated that choice.
