If your definition of "new wall" is "wall you newly constructed, where no structure existed before", then it's something tiny like 30 miles or whatever.

Actually 15 miles it looks like.

Maybe he was waiting on that mythical check from Mexico.  MAGA.

[Brooke]

I doubt it's that much, even so that's pretty pathetic.  He'd only need 83 more terms as President to complete it.   

2000/450 = 4.4 more terms. 

How much of that did Mexico pay for?  Can you point to a reference of the money transfer?

I have no idea.  That doesn't matter much to me.

[CptTrips]

2000/450 = 4.4 more terms. 

That's Trump math.

He built 15 miles in a 4 year term.

And he lied about Mexico paying for it.

[Brooke]

That's Trump math.

He built 15 miles in a 4 year term.

"The Trump administration completed 455 miles of new barriers along the Mexico boundary, an undertaking whose main achievement was the replacement of smaller, more permeable anti-vehicle barriers with imposing 30-foot-tall steel bars."

If I build a new garage on vacant land, it is a "new garage".

If I tear down my old garage, and build an entirely new garage on that position, it is a "new garage".

"The Trump administration completed 455 miles of new barriers along the Mexico boundary, an undertaking whose main achievement was the replacement of smaller, more permeable anti-vehicle barriers with imposing 30-foot-tall steel bars."

You do wall accounting like Trump does his businesses account.

"15 miles of new primary barrier where none existed before."

I'm not giving him credit for putting a new coat of paint and an existing fence.

and 455 miles of new wall was built. New wall. It replaced fencing and other bs barriers that were not much of a fence at all.

55 miles or so of  wall was built where there had not been a chicken-wire "wall" before

It's funny how you guys hate Trump so much that you can't get onboard with securing the border. Just vote for Biden again and watch how much gets done to reverse any border security., That's your man.,

[CptTrips]

Just vote for Biden again and watch how much gets done to reverse any border security.

LoL.  I don't need to vote for Biden again.  We got rid of Trump.

Now all we need to finish up is get him indicted and imprisoned, where he will spend the final years of his miserable life.

We're working on it.  It's coming together and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

The wall consists mostly of 18- to 30-foot steel bollards anchored in concrete. The barriers also feature sensors, lights, cameras and parallel roads in some places.

The vast majority of the 458 miles were constructed in places where some kind of barrier already existed, but most of the preexisting structures were far less imposing than the new wall and included fencing and rudimentary technical barriers. The total figure also includes what the agency calls “secondary border wall” or sections of wall built behind preexisting barriers that ultimately remained in place.

Some 226 miles, or nearly half of the total number of miles built, run along the border in Arizona, including more than 100 miles in both the Border Patrol sector near Yuma and in the sector near Tucson.

About 100 miles were constructed in New Mexico, largely in a stretch along the eastern part of the state’s border that bumps into Texas near El Paso. A total of 55 miles were built in the Lone Star State along the Rio Grande by El Paso and in lengths by Lardeo and in the Rio Grande Valley.

California saw the completion of construction of 77 miles of wall in areas along the border near San Diego and El Centro.

Biden is your man. You voted for a senile fool and you're proud of that. Texas is Biden country.

I told you, I would even vote for a freak like you if that is what it would take to remove Trump from office.

That should give you some indication of how far I am willing to go. 

[Brooke]

Me neither.

I'm giving credit for "replacement of smaller, more permeable anti-vehicle barriers with imposing 30-foot-tall steel bars"

I.e., tearing down the old stuff and completely replacing it.

[Brooke]

Cap, I asked already, but just in case you would be willing to say:

What causes you so viscerally to hate Trump?

I am honestly curious.

and trump was the one given a cognitive test and he bragged about it.  why is a cognitive test given?

and trump was the one given a cognitive test and he bragged about it.  why is a cognitive test given?


semp

a cognitive test checks for problems with mental functioning. I assume Trump requested one in order prove he does not have any issues.

Biden refuses to take one, but do we really need to see the results? It's obvious to anyone that he is severely impaired

[Brooke]

why is a cognitive test given?

To see whether or not there is dementia?
