But why didn't the opponents of the wall tear down the existing sections while they had the chance?

Maybe they like the idea,

The mythical wall will go the same way as his other promise to totally dismantle Obamacare.

A few days in and now it's just a modification.

He's since said that the wall may just be "bits of walls" after all.

We've seen the same thing here with horrific Debt and Deficit Disasters that seemed to evaporate within days of a change of government and excuses about how promises should be "in writing" and not things said in the heat of the campaign.

"Meet the new boss - same as the old boss?"

No Rache, the "debt & deficit disasters" are still there like
a roadside bomb waiting for someone to step on it.

I'm well off Topic for that, I apologise profusely. However I'm overjoyed as I now know there is a God ! A former client of mine the inimitable Pasquale BARBARO is no longer with us (sadly) seems he met his maker in the last 12 - 18 hours or so ! Excuse me while I just dab my eyes a little!

o sung wu,

Looks as if his past caught up with him and he couldn't get out of the way!

Is Mise...

One can only hope we hear and see the last of this thoroughly offensive individual, our dear departed Pasquale. All we need now to really make our day almost perfect, is a few others to accompany him in his final journey to the deep deep south? No more the exaggerated swagger, the arrogance, nor the aggressive presence. The smart suits and the exaggerated appetite for expensive European cars.

Now just a lifeless corpse, bearing the inimitable signs of death, the sallow, anemic countenance, as he lays cold and utterly alone, in the main fridge of Sydney's principle morgue, in Glebe. Completely devoid of any further malevolence, calculated to menace some poor sucker (or his relatives) who were imprudent enough to cross this man's explosive, hair trigger temper!
