I realize democrats feel the have to love Biden and everything he says and does no matter how ridiculous but seriously. Ouch. The only thing Biden did for America is quietly restart funding on the border wall (thatPres Trump started)

@Coffeequilt That might actually be true...But all Biden had to do was not be Trump.. I think there is little doubt Biden is not a good President. But bad is still better than appalling..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman im sure you are a nice person, but you are like the majority that thought they were voting for high school president not President of America.
@Coffeequilt I don't love everything ANY President of ANY affiliation has done. And "love"...wth?

Biden has done a lot more for America, but you'd have to check out

• legislative accomplishments
• foreign policy
• how our longtime allies view us

to understand it.

And I know Trump followers need to hate Biden and try to pretend Trump did more, but this is just wrong:

[quote]The only thing Biden did for America is quietly restart funding on the border wall (thatPres Trump started)[/quote]

No. Biden isn't building the wall which Trump never built...but you should be able to look this up on your own.

@SomeMichGuy I am sorry to have to be the one to tell you, you are wrong. You will now have to do actual research (not CNN). He is funding the wall that Pres Trump started. Sorry :(
@Coffeequilt No, he isn't funding Trump's wall, which was a boondoggle anyway.

For decades before he wanted that, criminals have gone over, under, and around the border barriers in order to smuggle drugs into the US.

The wall as Trump envisioned it isn't being built, sorry to inform you. 😪

@SomeMichGuy Ok 🤣

@Coffeequilt But how can you refer to CNN? LMAO
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@SomeMichGuy Seriously??
That is your holy fantasy tv show. Iknow it is embarrassing for you, but you'll be ok.

@Coffeequilt I actually didnt get a vote. Being from outside America..And being from outside the campaign I may well have a clearer perspective on what was at stake for America than a lot of Americans did.😷
@Coffeequilt No, I don't get it. But it became a big deal during our first war in the Middle East, years ago.

I know it's one thing your ilk likes to rag on, but for you to quote them as a source you don't accept? lol
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@SomeMichGuy ummm...ok :)
Like i said, I'm sure you're a nice person. Don't be afraid to think on your own and do your own research, but you have to be willing to accept facts.
@Coffeequilt [quote] I realize democrats feel the have to love Biden and everything he says and does no matter how ridiculous but seriously. [/quote]. Isn’t this how republicans feel about Trump as well?

I believe this is where the problem lies. There is no compromise or bending on either side. The “if you’re not with us, you’re the enemy” is going to be what ruins our country…not whoever the president is at any given time.

@Pinkstarburst very well said! Agree

@Coffeequilt here in Arizona, they are not building the wall. They are using the excess China shipping containers to use as a wall (2 high). Not costing any money for materials. It's been on the news every day or 1 week
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@ronisme1 Ummm, those aren't free
ronisme1 · 61-69, M
@Coffeequilt there are mountains of them st the los angeles port of long beach. They want them gone. Transporting them is the cost
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ronisme1 Yes. Because America ships next to nothing out these days.😷
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@ronisme1 Come on, you know it isnt free. ...
The fence material, the people, resources....
@Coffeequilt

Yes, you *should* learn to think, but first, you need to learn to read.

The CNN article you quoted talked about fixing small gaps in the border:

[quote]The Biden administration said Thursday it had authorized US Customs and Border Protection [u]to close gaps[/u] in a border wall in Arizona near the Morelos Dam [u]in order to protect migrants from drowning and sustaining injuries while trying to cross the Colorado River[/u] into the United States.

...

But DHS said in December it planned to [u]close small gaps[/u] in the US-Mexico border wall and make adjustments to prevent flooding and complete prior construction of access roads.
[/quote] [i](Emphasis added.)[/i]

Not Trump's "wall"...in, fact, the story makes these points:

[quote][b]Upon taking office, President Joe Biden called for a review of ongoing border wall projects and [u]rescinded the national emergency declaration authorized by his predecessor that allowed then-President Donald Trump to dip into additional funds to build his signature border wall.[/u]

[u]The Biden administration has canceled several border wall contracts and has also been returning some property to landowners who spent years fighting land seizures in court.[/u][/b][/quote] [i](Emphasis added.)[/i]

@SomeMichGuy Thanks for making the point for me (hopefully that, and not that you were confused by thar article). You're right, closing gaps, IS continuing to build the wall.
@Coffeequilt No.

Your point was that Biden is building Trump's "biggest, most amazing wall ever built in the history of walls".

Biden stopped that. And he's trying to make it safer by closing *dangerous* gaps which lured illegal border crossers to be hurt, even killed in the attempt. Can you imagine Trump wanting to make the border *safer* for illegal immigrants?

Keep shifting your point. It's obvious.
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@SomeMichGuy Oh, ok. So he making it safe by building it. Much clearer now. 🤣
@Coffeequilt No, he's not building Trump's version of the wall...but you'd have to read your own source.
Coffeequilt · 51-55, F
@SomeMichGuy so he's not building Pres Trumps wall, he is building Bidens wall. Got it, thanks for the clarification.
