(3,335 posts)I won't be a party to his lies. At his meeting a couple of weeks ago, he made the claim that they had already began building the wall and that they ran our of money. He claimed to have built quite a bit of it already. Later on DU I didn't see any reference to the "already built, almost finished' wall and I started questioning whether I had heard what I heard. Finally yesterday, someone mentioned it on TV and I was glad to know that I'm not crazy and that I did hear him say that. The man is such a liar that I wouldn't believe him if he said that the Sun rose in the East and set in the West.

(3,335 posts)So I hope no one watches. I don't intend to. I don't want to give him that power knowing if he says it, we will come. We know he's just going to lie because he told us last week that he had already started construction on the wall, but ran out of money.

(3,335 posts)next one. The man will not tell us anything we haven't heard already at least a dozen times. Don't feed his ego by giving him the captive audience he so desperately craves. He told us just about a week ago that he had already started construction of the wall but ran out of money. He said he spent all the money he already had on the wall, yet he hasn't decided yet whether he's building a concrete wall, or a wall that you can see through that the Border Patrol wants.
Having worked in Contracting for the Federal Government, I know that there are procurement rules you are required to follow when you're spending Government money. The very first thing you have to do is prepare a well defined Statement of Work (SOW) to make sure that your plan is feasible for the size and type of structure you plan to build and for which you can use to go out and solicit competitive bids for anything that you are procuring for the Government. This may involve including Engineers and sometimes Scientists at the beginning of the project if you're working with special materials or surfaces that might present unique problems since they would be expected to have the expertise in this area.
If you are working with materials you have never worked with before, you might have to consult with or hire people who do have such expertise. It doesn't matter if you are the POTUS, you have to follow the rules. The purpose of the SOW is that you don't start spending money on a concrete wall, only to have the Border Patrol tell you at a later date, that the wall needs to be transparent so that you can see what is happening on the other side of the wall/fence/structure. You also want to make certain that your initial cost estimate is reasonable. The last thing you want to do is start a project only to get half way through it and find out you underestimated the cost and don't have adequate resources to finish it.

The networks act as if they aren't the God damned reason we are living in this seventh circle of hell
They need to hear from us loud and clear, or come 2020, they'll again give us hours and hours of a fucking empty podium disguised as "breaking news"
