under the Bush years ? So much so that cities and municipalities fenced in things never before even imagined. Sure seems like a consequence of all our regulators and administrators and State Depts etc. (our government) is to make us wide-open vulnerable. No?These things were/are considered vital to our country, until THIS FUCKIN GUY says otherwise? What? Safety just waved off now bc of his personality and pride, and crimes? They were important enough then, and still are now. the wall stupidity is making us exponentially less safe. It's a diversion from defending from an initial attack on our country (the 2016 elections), and the ongoing destruction by this illegit in the white house. National Security concerns FOR REAL.
I harken back to condi rice and bushes willing failure to heed warning signs of impending disaster in America the summer of 2001 and before. Is this not another version of looking the other way until somebody hits some place left wide open under this administration? I hate being put in a spot where I have to wonder these things. He's SUCH a liar and a collaborator w russia. Just throwing that out there.
