You don't recall that I was in favor of the wall, do you?
I don't remember you ever saying you were in favor of the wall. I remember you saying you thought we should let the caravans in.

To answer your question, as far as I know Mexico hasn't paid for the wall. Most conservatives would be more than happy to pay for it out of pocket through private donations.
If I were you, I wouldn't rely on memory. Thank you for answering my question.

Most conservatives are idiots for not understanding more walls is a very ineffective way to stop illegal borders crossings.

Are you disappointed that Biden doesn't support the Green New Deal?
The necessity of the Green New Deal or something very much like it will only become more and more obvious as time goes on, until even the most conservative will no longer dare oppose it. The Rocky Mountain Institute cofounded by Amory Lovins is already showing how the goals of the Green New Deal can be and are beginning to be accomplished, to our great benefit and profit. Massive input by the government, though it could be helpful, is not absolutely necessary to accomplish these goals. Perhaps the best role of government in achieving this transition is merely to step aside and let it happen, and cease trying to obstruct the process by favoring and subsidizing the massive fossil fuel industry and their multi-billion dollar disinformation campaign to block the progress in renewable energy research and entrepreneurship.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Can you link me where you've ever spoken in support of the wall on this board.

I could if the search feature were functional, yes.

I agree with you. That's very frustrating that the search feature is not functional.

There's so many quotes I'd like to mine for now that we know the dossier was fake and purchased by Hillary Clinton. And I still don't see massive numbers of people who are disabled due to Covid. I remember people in the tennis world saying that Novak Djokovic had ended so many fellow players careers due to the tournament he held in Zagreb. It doesn't look like a positive Covid test ended Djokovic's career, nor Dmitrov, nor Cilic, nor any of the other players who tested postive at that tournament.

Just a line from the President's recent announcement, about contracting Covid-19:
But this was something that happened, and it’s happened to millions of people all over the world, and I’m fighting for them. Not just in the US, I’m fighting for them all over the world.
Look at the President, fighting the virus for all the peoples of the world, fighting it right in his own body.

That'll help.

Why do you think the search feature is not functional? I used it just now to find this very post, using the search words "search", "feature" and "functional."

Considering a lot of research is still going on to understand what long term effects will result from having covid 19, why should you be able to see what effects it will have on long term health? Especially since the world, including the US, is not even close to having covid 19 behind us.
