Well, since Biden has decided to sell off what is left of the border wall for cents on the dollar, the Great State of Texas has decided to outbid the bidders.

It's criminal that Biden is doing this. Even if Texas purchases the materials and gives it to the feds that means that it was still paid for twice, the second time with 100% Texans' money.

It wouldn't be shocking either if Biden to refused to sell to Texas. What a jack***.
Shoefly!

If he refuses suit him for treble damages! And start stacking the empty shipping containers too.

It's criminal, and shouldn't be happening, but I guess it's better that Texas buys it and gives it back cheap. Those POS's in the Biden administration and democrats are doing everything they can to make a mess for Trump to clean up. They are straight up dog s**t and don't give a crap if they screw the American tax payer. How anybody can support democrats is beyond me.

You need any evidence he and his admin are wreckers and enemies of the US you don't need to look at anything more than this spiteful stunt. Still fine with Texas confiscating it all and sending the bill specifically to Delaware.

On behalf of the taxpayers, I wish we would send the guard and surround it all until Jan 20th, Mexican standoff style. If the Dems were in charge and roles reversed, a federal judge would have shut this down on day one. Where is ours?

Peaceful transition right FJB? Of course that zombie knows nothing about any of this, it's all the commie weasels calling all of these last minute shots.

So….Texas pays the federal government $X for the materials. That means that the federal gvt now has all that money and can buy it all back from the state for the same cost as soon as Trump takes over. Will still have to pay for transportation and broker fees but it can mitigate the cost to the state or Trump.

Exactly. In reality it's all a rounding error in terms of the money involved but with Texas buying it from the government they can simply be reimbursed minus some expenses on one side or the other. The main benefit is it is material that's ready to go and can be used ASAP.

Play offense, that is the way you win in politics.

Better yet, we should jointly own the wall with the feds since we are furnishing the materials. Both parties (state and federal) would have to consent to it's removal in the future, so a regime change in DC 4 years from now doesn't result in loss of the wall.

Ship them all to Eagle Pass and start the build out immediately. Thank you Joe worthless Biden!

Texas should seize the material if it's in Texas and give it back when the next administration is in power.

If Texas won it all than I imagine Trump will just cancel the sale once in office and Abbot will agree

Dems are showing just how big of an ass they are. It's just Fing childish at this point.

Whoever ordered this to be done is likely supposed to get a kickback from the winner. Guess not anymore

You've got three stars, so I am assuming you're doing decent. However, this post has me concerned. Where do you live that has recyclers in the neighborhood?

The TFC said the materials up for sale were "mostly junk, with most panels covered in concrete and rust. There were a few panels that might be usable but not worth the cost of shipping to Texas from Arizona," according to Patrick's message on social media.


Hopefully we don't waste Texas taxpayer money buying scrap just for political messaging.

I thought the border wall was Corten steel. It's designed to rust.

Just like when the childish DemocRats removed all the "W" keys from keyboards in the Whitehouse right before Bush moved in, don't be shocked if The Wall sections have been found to be sabotaged in some manor that will render them unusable for the intended purpose, or at least needing expensive and time consuming repairs in order to be used as designed.

These evil Commie wing-nuts human trafficked millions of humans into this country to destroy it as it was designed by our Founding Fathers, so why not destroy the object, or at least slow it down, because it's existence hinders one of their tools of destruction?

Buy it all and lease it back to the feds. Let every Texas tax payer take a portion of the depreciation as a write down on our property tax bill.

Unless Texas actually needs the materials to use for something else and gets the materials for super cheap. In that case use the materials for state projects.

Otherwise perhaps Texas underbid just for the political points and they bid but didn't actually win the bids which is still ok .

If they win the bids and have no other use for the materials then your idea is a good one imo but of course would need the feds to agree to leasing

Why should Texas buy it at all? It's unusable crap. That's not the Biden admin saying that, that's the entity here in Texas that would be responsible for using the materials.

Texas will either sell it all back to the feds post 1/20, or the feds will give Texas a grant for building the wall (out of the defense budget) in the same dollar figure spent on materials

This won't cost Texas anything

Greg should have built the wall on his own. FJB should have been forced to arrest Greg. Too soft.

Wait, so the story now is Biden (or his handlers) hatched a plan to screw Trump by selling a bunch of wall panels for cheap, but then when Biden/handlers saw that Trump tweeted about it Biden and his handlers pulled them from the auction?

If the plan was really to screw Trump by getting rid of the panels, why not just order them to be destroyed or donated to China? Why try to sell them in an auction and then pull them from the auction because of a mean tweet?? Or was Biden going to get his customary 10% from auctioning them off??? If so, why would he pull them? Why does Biden give a crap about a mean tweet, it's not like he's ever running for any kind of office again.

Everyone in this present White House appears to be a criminal. You are asking why criminals can't be satisfied with something less than every bit they can get?

Everyone keeps saying "Biden is doing..."

Biden ain't doing nothing but eating ice cream and filling his adult diapers. Someone is pulling the strings, but it isn't him.

(Just so we're clear, I am of the opinion that any dems that haven't been redpilled by now are treasonous SOBs, and should be treated as such.)
