Biden's Selling Off All the Materials Trump Bought for Building a Border Wall, to Prevent Trump From Building It

And he's selling tons of steel and concrete for pennies on the dollar. This will force Trump to re-buy all the material he already bought.

The Biden administration is using its final weeks to haul a massive amount of border wall materials away from the southern border to be sold off in a government auction, an apparent effort to hinder President-elect Donald Trump's effort to secure the border, The Daily Wire has learned.
Videos obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire from a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot for illegal crossings during the Biden administration. The agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.
"They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points," the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. "The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas."
Trump made clear during his campaign that he intends to finish construction of the border wall, making use of the materials that have remained untouched at the border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021. If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump's flagship campaign promises at the border.
The government contractor, DP Trucking LLC, is transporting the pieces of the wall north on Interstate 19 to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where it is being auctioned through GovPlanet, a surplus government equipment auction marketplace.
"They just started taking all the wall that was not used, which is still totally good and usable, and they started taking it northbound," the agent said. "They're pulling it all off the border."
Harold Lambeth, the owner of the trucking company, confirmed to The Daily Wire in a phone call that his company is transporting the unused border wall sections north away from the construction sites. He said he is unable to disclose further information about the work.
Video of the GovPlanet auction site where the material is being taken shows seemingly endless piles of unused border wall material. Another video, taken from one of the construction sites on the border, shows DP Trucking LLC trucks passing through with the same style of unused border wall stacked up the back of their flatbeds.
The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as December 4 for precisely the types of materials being pulled off the border. GovPlanet has online auctions set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 for more of the border wall material, which is listed on the company's website as "32.91' X 7.91' Steel Bollard Wall Sections w/Grout."
The bidding for each section of wall panels is set to begin at only $5.00, according to the website.

In my mind...

To counter this, Trump is planning on stationing hundreds of thousands of government employees at the border 24/7 to act as a physical barrier to prevent entry of "migrants" with the instruction that, should anyone get past them, they will be fired on the spot.

105 In a police scanner report released on social media, one officer described a 911 response in which someone called in a drone crash near their house, adding that 10 additional drones appeared at the crash site.

The officer said, "It was a crash, a crash. A drone fell out of the sky by the powerlines behind their house, and then 10 more showed up."

107 >>> BREAKING: Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick says he will buy the unused pieces of border wall that the Biden administration is currently auctioning off and give them to Trump.

I'm going to botch the telling of this, but I heard a neat story about the poor regions of America. In the small communities, if someone went through hard times, and their house was foreclosed on and went to auction, someone would buy it from the bank for like a dollar, and then promptly give it back to the family. You wouldn't dream of being predatory and take it for yourself. It was a point of honor and pride to help each other in good times and bad.

The repurchasing of the wall material, stolen from the American people by Biden, has much of the same feel. People with honor will buy back the walls cheap, then return them to their rightful owner, the people, to protect us. I hope it works out that way!!

108 If the material brought to the border during his first term is sold off, it will significantly delay any progress on one of Trump's flagship campaign promises at the border.

Wouldn't the money to build the wall have been appropriated by Congress? So this would feel like Biden unilaterally bypassing congress, possibly to once again line his own pockets if donors/ aunderers are the ones buying this on the cheap.

Both are important. Masses have crossed *not* at ports of entry, which legally should create great disadvantage for them (in previous times they would simply be returned across the border). I have witnessed this for the past several years, directly. BP "processes" them - which under the current insane lawless situation means releases them into the country (where NGOs often fly them around).

Barriers are a cheap/easy way to shape the battlefield.

I chose a "Sunoco" blue. They did all right; a little orange peel, but plenty of paint applied, and the masking and trim work were OK. What I didn't know was that model and color were standard for our state public utilities commission agents, the guys who set up spot safety checks and portable truck scales -- so several times, as I merged onto interstates, I gave truckers a swerve-over haemmorhoid.

Well, depending on your needs and wants. The Vette is a nice enough car but it's clearly not good enough now since the GTD broke the 7 minute barrier at the Green Hell. A Chevy can't do that. That's why I said it will be nice to see Chevy's response.

280 When my cousin's grandad passed they auctioned off some antique farm equipment. Including a tractor that once belonged to my grandad. Cousin's son wanted it because it had belonged to both of his dad's grandfathers. Bidding started at a normal level, no one bid. Open bid comes down and down as no one bid. Cousin's son was running a bit late. Got there when the opening bid was very, very low and called for it. No one else put in a bid. At all. The boy got the tractor cheap and spent a lot of money restoring it.

Obviously so that the "case" has some legs. Pure ex post facto shenanigans - in a "proceeding" that's already under way! - is beautiful collapsed western society at its peak/nadir.

I suppose many will take the "they're child abuse survivors, so, um, we need to take that into account" approach to Ireland's behavior, but even leaving aside the attempt to go full Orwell at home, they're really plumbing some pathetic depths.

To counter this, Trump is planning on stationing hundreds of thousands of government employees at the border 24/7 to act as a physical barrier to prevent entry of "migrants" with the instruction that, should anyone get past them, they will be fired on the spot.

They bandied the term "credits" around during the Original Series, and Kirk did tell Scotty once, "You've just earned your pay for the week." The concept of "gold-pressed latinum" as a medium of exchange came up during Deep Space Nine. I never was able to watch that enough to see what they did with the idea.

That's the trick, thought. I don't think she is. This is part of an intentional long-term push to condition people to accept that "ugly" is what women look like, with pink hair and prison tattoos, because trannies can't look pretty. They can look ugly and masculine pretty easily, though, so if society can encourage real women to look like that...

Sorry, outdoor with the dogs, dual citizenship was allowed by a Warren Court ruling that effectively eviscerated the old US law and practice forbidding it.

Strictly speaking, by tradition and by former law, she would have been considered by doing such as declaring herself a citizen of the UK which meant repudiating her native US citizenship. Nowadays, we have pissed on US citizenship and its value so much that no one thinks it remarkable that a woman gets to flit here and there while declaring allegiance by proxy to another nation.
