Biden Admin rushing to sell Border Wall parts at Auction (at pennies on the dollar)...disgusting
How does one explain this insult to American taxpayers not to mention disregard to the will of most Americans? Thank God Texas is willing to buy the them.

You started this thread...do you now understand that neither party wanted that Wall built...and that
scrap parts are always sold for a fraction of their original value?
Remember that the NY Post is another medial outlet owned by a man who allowed Known Lies to be published, only to end up paying $787M for that decision...but retaining the right to continue misleading people like yourself...and Baron.
BidenHandlers with yet another anti American move

I'm well aware of that...are you aware that DJT's "Wall" was DOA with the GOP...and used to get
Non-Thinkers to vote for him?

Ah, yes...we now have a Commander-in-Chief who couldn't get a Security Clearance as a normal citizen
Whoo-Hoo!
The simple reason that Trump's "Border Wall" hasn't been built is because the GOP doesn't want it...
...all you have to do is a Google search asking the question of why it hasn't been funded...I've posted articles on this more than once...here are some excerpts from the one linked...
---------------------
Less than a month after Trump took the oath of office, Republicans were already backing away from the prospect of a border wall — because of the price tag and lack of spending offsets, to which many Republican lawmakers objected, but also because there was disagreement over the essential utility of a physical partition. “I don't think we're just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it, and through it,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn told reporters in February 2017. “If you only build a wall, only a ‘wall’ without using technology, individuals, drones, observations, etc., you're not going to secure the border,” the late Sen. John McCain agreed.
--------------------
The White House’s March 2017 request for $7.5 billion in spending for border security initiatives, including $4 billion to be allocated to wall-related planning, construction, and legal costs related to the reclamation of private land, generated little support among Republicans. In late April 2017, the Wall Street Journal surveyed border state lawmakers from both parties and found that “not a single member of the House or Senate representing the region expressed support for the funding request.” They noted, however, that Sen. Ted Cruz “backs the overall idea of a wall,” but would not commit to support Trump’s specific request. A few months later, USA Today Network polled all 534 lawmakers in both the House and the Senate and found that just 69 of 292 Republicans — one-quarter of the GOP conference — supported Trump’s request for $1.6 billion to begin wall construction.

Even when it hurts, you need to ask yourself the tough questions...IF you want to get to the TRUTH.

We need to severely reduce the lame duck period.
Our system didn't account for vindictiveness of the outgoing president.
LOL...DJT is now a "Lame Duck"...and he's as "Vindictive" as they come...
btw, I'll bet as the 2026 Mid-Term elections approach, there'll be more that a few GOP House and Senate candidates who would support shortening his final term, while doing their best to distance themselves from all that he's done.
Complete conjecture. Do better, also you thought Harris was
a lock. How'd that turn out? You supported one of the worst presidential candidates ever. Yr track record sucks
Your 'Sarcasm Detector' needs new batteries ;-)...as for Kamala Harris, she came on very strong
with such little notice, but couldn't overcome the Misogyny, Racism and Stupidity of a 2% fraction of the American electorate...it is what it is.
Let's see and keep track of how well DJT performs in his second term...we'll all be watching...and keeping score.
Nobody buys Yr line of BS any more. Yr act is worn out and tiresome

Remember, Kamala wanted a wall at the end.
This is a clear "fuck you" to the voters.
KH wanted the Bipartisan Border/Immigration Bill, which included a very small amount of funding
for repairs to existing barriers and very limited additions...NOTHING like DJT's senseless 2,000 mile Wall through incredible terrain and hundreds of miles of private property....which again, the GOP would not support.
You still need to work on your research skills, so go check out GOP Senator Lankford's summary of that bill, including the provisions for a "Border Wall". Get back to us with what you find...if you're really interested in getting to the Truth.

Perhaps you were asleep during the runup to the election.
Not me...wide awake and not taking mind-altering breaks, either...
...here are a couple of excerpts from the attached "FactCheck" article...
-------------------
Lankford’s office told Axios that the legislation — if the Senate version were to be resurrected — would translate to an estimated $650 million for border wall construction. That’s a fraction of the $18 billion sought by Trump in 2018. In recent campaign speeches and interviews, Trump has said he intended to build another 200 miles of new wall, but that Biden’s election upended it. At $20 million per mile, the $650 million from the bipartisan border bill would amount to less than 33 miles.
-------------------
Republicans are trying to accuse Harris of being dishonest about a significant policy flip-flop. But the premise is flawed. Harris has not suddenly thrown her support behind funding for a massive wall, such as Trump proposed. She has voiced support for a compromise bipartisan border bill that, among many other things, would allow $650 million of money appropriated during the Trump administration — a fraction of what Trump sought — to be used for border wall construction over the next four years. And, we note, Trump opposed the bill.
-------------------
Biden/Harris did the right thing in achieving a "Normal" Congressionally negotiated legislative Deal...they gave a little to achieve an acceptable outcome. In contrast, DJT killed the whole deal so that NO credit would accrue to Biden/Harris and take away his biggest talking point for re-election. In a word "Despicable".
And don't forget, Trump never got the GOP to agree on his multi-billion dollar "Boondoggle".

None of that excuses the selling of border wall materials by a vindictive loser.

Well at least you now understand that Harris never supported Trump’s Wall…
…and selling the scrap at auction is how such things are disposed of.
You should have done your homework before posting.
He’s as clueless as they come. Must still be in shock from the election.

With a Sociopathic Malignant Narcissist, who's a Felon, Rapist and Fraud in the Oval Office, we're

Make sure you watch the Army/Navy game. Your future president is going to be there. Probably get a
standing ovation.
No ovations from these outstanding U.S. Military Leaders...
The military leaders who've come out against Trump
Highest rank achieved Verdict on Trump
John Kelly John Kelly General, Marine Corps "Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure,” Kelly told the New York Times.
Mark A. Milley Mark A. Milley General, Army Trump is a "fascist to the core," Milley told the Washington Post's Bob Woodward.
James Mattis James Mattis General, Marine Corps "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us," Mattis wrote in a June 2020 statement to the Atlantic.
H.R. McMaster H.R. McMaster Lieutenant General, Army In the January 6 siege on the Capitol, Trump "abandoned his oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution,’ a president’s highest obligation," McMaster wrote in his 2024 book.
Mark Esper Mark Esper Lieutenant Colonel, Army After stolen documents were found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, Esper said that stashing them there was an “irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our nation’s security at risk.”
Stanley McChrystal Stanley McChrystal General, Army McChrystal said Trump was "immoral" in a 2018 interview with ABC News.
Mike Mullen Mike Mullen Admiral, Navy During Trump's infamous St. John's Church photo op, Mullen wrote in 2020, "he laid bare his disdain for the rights of peaceful protest in this country, gave succor to the leaders of other countries who take comfort in our domestic strife, and risked further politicizing the men and women of our armed forces."
James Stavridis James Stavridis Admiral, Navy Stavridis also criticized Trump's use of military force outside St. John's Church in 2020, calling it "“beyond the pale of American norms."
And don't ever forget...our worst enemy, Vladimir Putin did all he could to help Trump become President...the last thing Vlad wants is for America to be Great...Ever.

Agreed. The lame duck period is an historical feature no longer needed.
GOP should propose an Article V Amendment on this.
his " resignation" from race should have included the presidency!
the drones don't make sense either

That would have made much more sense if Kamala wasn't so brain dead or untrustworthy.
