Republicans struggle to save funding for TFG's vain monument to stupidity.

Senate Republicans are struggling to save funding for construction of former President Trump's long-sought wall on the U.S.-Mexico border as Democrats press forward with plans to rescind nearly $2 billion in funding for his signature project.

Republicans in the upper chamber are pushing for the funding already allocated toward the barrier's construction to be used to help continue progress on the project, a stalled effort that would likely take years longer and more money to complete.

Earlier this month, a group of Republicans - Sens. Mike Braun (Ind.), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Lee (Utah), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) - vowed in a letter not to back the annual appropriations legislation to fund the government if dollars are not set aside for the wall and implored their colleagues to do the same.

But not all Republicans are on board with the idea.

I though Mexico was going to pay for it.

It looks like the small-size Eucalyptus trees are the only things preventing a total collapse.

Barbecues on the south side of the wall with contests to see who could climb free-handed to the top the fastest with the best runs being around 10 seconds.

"Who's going to pay?" and the crowd would yell "Mexico!" Then trump would say "Who?" "Mexico".
Over and over (in between "Lock her up!&quot
