The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to spend $2.5 billion in Pentagon defense funds to build a wall along parts of the Mexican border while litigation over paying for it proceeds.

“Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.” – Joseph Fort Newton
And mistakenly attributed to Newton but the hypocrisy and snakeoil grift is kept fully intact:

1/2: “I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world,” Trump said to reporters at the White House this morning. This, of course, isn't true: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/2: It's really, really, really, really not true: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Footnote: "Someone who was authentically compassionate and not a racist would be horrified to be accused of racism; an apology would’ve been prompt. Yet Trump bridled and has yet to apologize to anyone. He doesn’t care; this is who he is."

As his latest foray into bigotry shows, the president is feeling empowered by the lack of opposition from within the GOP. On Trump, Cummings, Baltimore and racism. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Earlier this year, Mark Meadows thanked his friend Elijah Cummings for defending him against accusations of racism. President Trump spent the weekend attacking Cummings — and slagging him as a racist — and Meadows is nowhere to be found. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Mr. Chairman, you and I have a personal relationship that’s not based on color,” Meadows noted.

“If there’s anyone who’s sensitive with regard to race it’s me, the son of former sharecroppers,” Cummings said. “You're one of my best friends, I know that shocks a lot of people."

1/3: The president, whose racism is deep seated, has long had a static view of communities of color. During the 2016 campaign he referred to inner-cities — where he has spent about zero hours — as “ghettos” that were "more dangerous than some of the war zones."
2/3: In 2016 he also painted this inner-city portrait and made a promise: "The violence. The death. The lack of education. No jobs. We're going to work with the African-American community and we're going to solve the problem of the inner city...We're going to bring safety back.”
3/3: He turned his back on African-Americans and pandered to white supremacists. He’s also wrong about the demographics of Cummings’ district: It’s not simply a crime-plagued war zone. It’s also populated with college grads, urban/suburban communities, different income groups.

1/ President Trump is expected to declare a national emergency soon to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The government would have to seize a lot of land to do this. That didn't end well for many Texans the last time that happened.

From 2017: bit.ly/2RBTX7G
2/ Federal officials cut unfair deals, secretly waived legal safeguards for property owners, and abused eminent domain to acquire land from Texas landowners in the Rio Grande Valley more than a decade ago. bit.ly/2RBTX7G
3/ Eminent domain is a process that should take years.

But in 2008, Homeland Security snapped up 564 acres in the Rio Grande Valley in mere months. bit.ly/2RBTX7G

1. A thread about Trump’s Friday Press Conference on the “Border Wall System & “National Security” Because that was what it was about. Yes!
2. This thread is NOT

regarding the legislative Process of how the Wall will be built.

Others have uncovered that.
3. Rather to respond to callers on the El Rushbo show Friday,(NeverTrumpers)- saying “No Wall now”

The speech confirms he WILL build it.
