While other controversies rage, work on border wall moves forward

New revelations come almost by the minute in the Trump-Russia affair. The White House moves into full-defense mode. The Trump agenda stalls on Capitol Hill.

A reasonable observer might conclude that is all that is happening in the Trump administration. But even as those troubles fill news sites and cable TV, administration officials are quietly moving ahead on one of the president's top campaign promises: the construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Although it hasn't received much attention relative to the president's many problems, extensive planning for the wall is under way, officials are evaluating specific proposals, sites are being studied, and yes, there is money available to get going.

Allegations fabricated by Democrats, not revelations.

“Republicans believe Democrats oppose the wall mainly because they fear it will work.”
Trump is seriously interfering with the Democrats ability to recruit its future legions of socialist voters by building a wall.

Sounds as though the Wash Ex has been fooled by the Russian hoax. It will reach the same whimpering end that all the BLM and Muslim hoaxes do, and they, along with all the other msm, will quietly go on to other stories. They never acknowledge their blatant failures.

It is possible that Trump is quietly encouraging this hoax as a form misdirection.

“New revelations come almost by the minute in the Trump-Russia affair.”

Reminds me of the statement made by some lefty shill journalist recently: `Trump imposes tax increase ... ‘

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-trump-administration-just-imposed-a-massive-tax-increase-you-may-have-missed-it/2017/05/26/ce7eb6e8-4152-11e7-9869-bac8b446820a_story.html?utm_term=.3cd579e8da50

... alarming until you discover it’s completely false: “Comrades! I have glorious news for you” outright lies.

If they had any real fire with this never-ending Russia story they would emblazon it in three-inch headlines in all their newspapers.
As usual it’s just “resistance” and blowing smoke. Liars. They could make a murder of crows blush bright cherry red.

Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC and that’s a non-story. We’re living the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-four.

Very possible.
Distract them with the bright shiny object in one place while you quietly go about your business elsewhere.
