Trump-donating construction firms have been given massive no-bid increases in their budgets. And the Great Wall of Trump still only covers a tiny portion of the 2000 mile border, despite Trump's campaign bragging that it "is almost complete." Not to mention the fraud that Bannon got arrested for.

Records Show Trump’s Border Wall Is Costing Taxpayers Billions More Than Initial Contracts

"As the presidential election nears, a review of federal spending data found modifications to contracts have increased the price of the border wall by billions, costing about five times more per mile than it did under previous administrations."

Of course we already know Trump's bad at business, bad at governing, bad at money, and bad at making deals. This whole wall business just confirms that.

I hope Biden will be able to cancel all the contracts and stop with that bullshit waste of money.

So, after the latest case of France deciding in the midst of the outbreak of a new wave of Covid 19 (which as someone from the USA at least assures me that the USA isn't the only willfully stupid society that expected a virus to vanish into thin air, and I suspect that Hurricane Laura is the only reason my hometown didn't slide right back into no. 1 outbreak spot in the USA again) to get into yet another kerfluffle over its selective standard of secularism.....

An old fart in Malaysia who was its PM decides the most helpful idea here is to say that Muslims have a right to kill millions of French people with impunity. He looked at the mess in France, decided the thing that would help French Muslims is to go on Twitter and literally try to incite a wave of mass murder and civil war in France

......

With this it's easy to see why I hope he lost his job and that I hope it stays lost.
