Trump promises his Mexico wall is 'way ahead of schedule
By LOUIS NELSON 02/24/2017 11:20 AM EST
President Donald Trump said Friday that his long promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is “going to start soon” and is “way ahead of schedule.”
Addressing a fawning crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump repeated a regular talking point officials from his administration have used in the past, that “we’ve defended other nations’ borders while leaving ours wide open, anybody can come in.” That line prompted audience members to shout, “Build the wall,” inspiring Trump to deliver an update on the project.
“Oh, we’re going to build a wall, don’t worry about it. We’re building the wall. We’re building the wall,” he said in an apparent aside from his prepared remarks. “In fact, it’s going to start soon. Way ahead of schedule. Way ahead of schedule. Way, way, way ahead of schedule. It’s going to start very soon.”

The optics for this are worse than when Ryan washed clean dishes for the cameras.
They originally wanted to use this for the soundtrack but Randy Newman refused to give them permission.
Sad.
I remember when Tip ONeal made a flashy video to get funding for starting the Department of Education, and that video that Jim Wright did to promote the ban on funding the Contras, then there was Speaker Pelosi’s video in a surgeon’s garb to promote the ACA… Oh, yea. Never happened. One more example of crassifying the decorum of high office in this govt.
By the way, Mr. Big Tax Give-away - isn’t this an expensive budget item for a policy that got started as a throw away idea in a speech in Iowa - that got a big audience reaction? That made its way into the campaign because of crowd response, not based on any cost estimates, policy papers that lay out alternatives and potential negative consequences? IOW, if you want it so badly to become Your priority - will you give up the wealthy tax cuts?
Aren’t you getting tired of having become an appendage to Trump?
Who, you might muse on the porch with a drink in your hand, is the worse scammer? Trump, who’s mentally ill and was raised to be amoral, and rarely pretended to be anything else? Or Ryan, McConnell, and the rest of them, who’ve made a lifetime habit of pretending to be penny-pinching patriots looking out for the interests and values of you, Mr. and Mrs. Regular Folks? Trump was a TV clown most of the last 20 years or so. Ryan and McConnell were real powers. So who’s the bigger liar? Who’s the bigger fake?
Did you notice something odd about the horse’s ass in that photo?
He’s the only one not wearing a hat.
Seriously with Ryan he’s got a sense of what would look ridiculous, and what adds to his image. You have to give him credit for that. That’s why he looks like a superannuated Eagle Scout and not a predatory capitalist from a Thomas Nast cartoon.
Ryan tries so hard to appear “macho” it’s clear his wife emasculates him constantly
Steve Bannon has been wrong about everything . . . except Paul Ryan.
Ryan wants to save american lives from criminal rapists and machete wielding gangs by building a wall with funds reapportioned by cutting life-saving medical insurance from millions of americans.
And fight a tiger. . . . .
And steal all of his country’s money for oligarchs—like that Russian dude.
What the hell is Ryan up to?
This is for Trump’s benefit, clearly. But why?
Needs one of those big belt buckles. (Also known as a “Tombstone for a Dead Dick.”)
I would say he fears Trump turning Trump voters against Ryan, but Ryan’s seat is incredibly safe. My only guess is that he’s just desperate for a legislative victory
Ryan 2020. Or, just promoting Ryan and the House GOP priorities at a time when McConnell is in the orange doghouse. Ryan knows that, when you meet with Trumpp’s, you’ll do much better if Trumpp isn’t wondering: “What has this guy done for me lately?”
