2. A better view of the deisgn

Those are called Storm Gates.

Every summer they're opened up for the monsoon season.

You can accurately call the wall a boondoggle, a monument to bigotry, a waste of money, a grift or just plain worthless...

But it does no good to be inaccurate. Storm Gates were engineered into the design. There was actually another post with a Tweet calling the wall section "destroyed" by flooding...

Here's another less "clickbaity" photo

6. The gates in the OP pic foreground appear to be off their hinges, rather than purposely opened.

Whereas the gates just a bit further back appear to be on their hinges and closed. So the fence does not seem to be in it's original operational state.

8. Like I said

Those are storm gates, they're opened on purpose.

They will be back with hand crews to shovel out the debris and replace the gates on their hinges.

7. Those storm gates are choked with debris and off their hinges.

Going to take a mess of work to put them back -- just in time for the next flood.

15. At the end of monsoon season they will place the gates back on their hinges...

Clickbait Tweets not withstanding!

3. I've always thought that wall was only intended to get elected and as a way to pay back and forward

with the contracts. So if you were a big contributor and wanted a contract and or if you promised a conformity to certain agrrments could receive a contract.

Just another profitable scam paid for with tax money.

4. Wow - you don't even need the $27 rope ladder to scale that one. LOL.

5. A shabby piece of shit just like its namesake

9. That's a thousand respirators per mile...

Build a few modern schools per mile…

10. Call me crazy, but that wall doesn't exactly look "impenetrable" even in it's

fully intact state. How was that supposed to be a deterrent? Unless it was electrified or something.

12. DHS failed to take 'hard look' at enviro impacts of Trump's border wall - judge

TFG cut corners on building the moronic wall

Link to tweet

A federal judge in Tucson, Arizona has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security arbitrarily failed to take a "hard look" at the environmental impacts involved in the construction of former President Donald Trump's signature wall on a 50-mile wide corridor at the border with Mexico.

Senior U.S. District Judge Cindy Jorgenson ruled on Monday that DHS and its agency Customs and Border Protection violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in a partial victory for the Center for Biological Diversity and U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, who had sued. The judge, however, declined the plaintiffs' request for an order to produce a more comprehensive environmental analysis now, reasoning that the activities had not produced "demonstrated adverse environmental impacts."

The ruling of the lawsuit that was filed under President Donald Trump comes after his successor put an end to his signature border wall project.

14. Trump and Boondoggle go hand in hand

How did Ivanka and Jared not make some serious cash consulting on this wonderful project ?
