As far as I can tell, the woman in question is (mostly) rational. The non-rational part is, unsurprisingly, pretty twisted up with extreme religiosity.
Even so, her beliefs are a bit odd.
“Richard Nixon (D-CA)”
Well, dang! This time “It’s Okay When Republicans Do It” fails. :eek: Oh noes!! What to do??
That’s the ONLY possible explanation.
Damn! That deep state is way deeper than I’d thought. I wonder how they overlooked Obama’s Kenyan passport.
CMC fnord!
dropzone was talking about when Reagan was Governor of California.
Hey, I actually found some common ground between the House Democrats and House Republicans.
Both groups want to talk only about the Democrats on their official websites.
Admittedly since the Democrats are in charge their agenda is going to be the greatest topic of conversation, but one would think that in the 7 months since they lost that 2018 election they would have at least one piece on their news site that would be about what their delegation was up to. But the last article that didn’t include the word Democrats, or the name of a Democratic congressman in its title or first sentence was an Armistice day recognition on November 9th 2018.

The We Build the Wall group, who raised money to build WALL and then didn’t, actually built one mile of wall over the holiday weekend, after Steve Bannon stepped in to make sure it got done.
If the government has given itself permission to bypass environmental and/or construction laws, does that make it legal for private citizens to do the same?
It looks like they purchased the land. Are environmental studies and such needed to build a wall on your own land?
That was good, shows you’re not mad at people pointing it out. And, as I tell my wife “See, I CAN learn new tricks!” (usually for some kind of “housebreaking” that she’d given up on me learning… but then I surprise her!)
I don’t know about Texas, but in Ohio, yes. Pretty much any form of construction is going to need a permit, which is going to need impact studies.
Especially a mile-long fence of unusual size that stretches across several properties.
ISTM that most building is carried out on land that is owned by the builder, so those things don’t seem like they would be reserved for projects on land that the builder DOESN’T own…
“The FOUSes? – the Fences of Unusual Size? I don’t think they exist.”
(Wesley is immediately slammed by a piece of Fence of Unusual Size.)
I’m not doubting you, but if you decided to build a fence around your yard, you would need to do an environmental impact study?
Well, I guess I am doubting you. 
“A fence around your yard”.
Disingenuous much?
I would have to get permits, and those permits say what kind of fence I can build. As long as I am building that type of fence, I do not have to do an impact study, as those fences do not have much of an impact.
Were I to want to build a different type of fence (or wall) than is usually granted permits for, one that would interrupt the flow of groundwater, then yes, I would have to go to zoning meetings and try to get waivers granted, and probably have to do some sort of offset, or make sure that proper drainage or culverts are installed.
Are these people putting up fences or walls?
I’ve never been that involved with building walls, but parking lots? Yeah. If I put in a parking lot, I need to do impact studies to see how much drainage I need to offset and how large a retention pond I need to do so.
I’m not the one who said “any form of construction”
