Once again, WaPo story critical of Trump's border wall never mentions Republicans forced Trump to accept Bush-era bollard fencing instead of his promised "impenetrable barrier"

The whole point of forcing Trump to accept bollard fencing was to make him a failure on his signature issue. Everyone already knew it was inadequate from the time of Bush, who agreed to it BECAUSE he knew it wouldn't work. Bush WANTED a porous border. Bollard fencing to Bush was like running on a pro-life plank and never having to do anything about it once in office. Good politics, that's all. Good optics.

Trump was set up to fail, and like a fool, he accepted it. That's the real story.

It was Republican payback for all the mean things Trump said about Republicans in 2015-2016. "We'll fix you, buster. Here's your stupid wall."

These facts are why WaPo has to write an article about the failure of bollard fencing periodically, in order to keep the lie alive that a border wall doesn't work. Their agenda is the same as the Republican Democrat agenda of a porous border, to keep the cheap labor flowing in, and the drugs. It's also Drudge's agenda.

Those two things are the most important to a sick, dying society, otherwise we'd have fixed this long ago.

And obviously, Trump is part of the problem, not the solution.

Now the stink on the border wall is so bad no one will come near it for a generation.

Mission accomplished.

Elise Stefanik is on the side of The Body Snatchers' Donald Trump, not the one we voted for

The Trump we voted for promised a 10-point America First Plan which was ALL ABOUT IMMIGRATION, not climate, not tax cuts, not Obamacare, etc., especially ending DACA immediately by executive order and building NEW actual wall, not replacing existing with bollard fencing.

Joe Biden November 2006 Columbia South Carolina: I voted for 700 miles of fence, but we need to punish employers of illegals

"Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats -- and some of you won't like it -- I voted for 700 miles of fence," Biden told the group. "But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high -- unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and -- and you will not like this, and -- punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing."

Trump gaslights on New Mexico border "wall", which is bollard fencing replacing existing vehicle barrier, funded in 2017

Trump isn't building new wall like he promised made of concrete, he's just replacing existing barrier with bollard fencing.

Pres. Trump tweets about 'wall' in New Mexico:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- President Trump tweeted about the completion of a "powerful wall" in New Mexico. The steel wall was built in Santa Teresa. It replaced fencing that was used to prevent vehicles from crossing. According to the Washington Examiner, the money for the project came from the congressional budget in May 2017. The Washington Examiner reports the barriers are 18 to 30 feet high.

Drudge shades truth about border wall begun in San Diego: It's replacement fencing, bollard type

It has nothing to do with the emergency declaration, which is what the story placement in Drudge's lineup is meant to imply. This is Drudge the partisan.

The AP story also incorrectly calls it a wall. It's bollard fencing. Trump is prohibited from installing a wall by the legislation he just signed.

Work begins to replace steel-mesh layer of border wall in San Diego:

Construction has begun on the fifth border wall project of Donald Trump's presidency, replacing up to 14 miles of barrier in San Diego, authorities said Tuesday.

The first panels are in place to replace a steel-mesh fence with 30-foot-high steel bollards . . .. The bollards replace a second layer of barrier that worked like a fortress when it was built about a decade ago but is now often breached with powerful battery-operated saws sold in home improvement stores.

Work on replacing a first layer of San Diego barrier is nearly complete, also 14 miles long and made of steel bollards up to 30-feet  high. The old fence, built in the early 1990s, was made of corrugated steel matting used by the military as temporary runways. ... Trump inherited barriers covering about one-third of the border. His administration has awarded $1 billion in contracts to cover 97 miles,  the vast majority of it to replace existing barriers. ...

Trump wants more bollard fence (National Emergency), and more legal immigrants than ever before (SOTU address)

Two main themes of every Trump rally in 2015-2016: More Bollard Fence! More Legal Immigrants!

Yeah, that's the way it was.

Drudge joins Trump in gaslighting on The Wall, shows picture of a wall but not the levee fence mentioned in the story

From the news release by US Customs and Border Protection last November:

This project includes the construction and installation of tactical infrastructure including a reinforced concrete levee wall to the height of the existing levee, 18-foot tall steel bollards installed on top of the concrete wall, and vegetation removal along a 150-foot enforcement zone throughout the approximately eight miles of levee wall system.  The levee wall system will include detection technology, lighting, video surveillance, and an all-weather patrol road parallel to the levee wall. 

Border deal gives $1 billion to Smithsonian, $3.1 billion for global health activities, $3.4 billion for refugees, $4.4 billion for international disaster relief, Ukraine, Jordan and Israel get $5.3 billion, Trump gets 55 miles of new bollard fencing, not wall

Thieving bastards.

Analyze this.
