.MaddowBlog: Pentagon points to threats after Pres. Trump raids budget for wall.
Donald Trump visited California this week for some lucrative fundraising events, but his West Coast trip included a stop yesterday at the border – where the president was able to visit an area where some old fencing has been replaced with newer fencing.
Minutes earlier, an administration official rejected the idea that the wall is a “vanity project.” The president’s autograph on a steel slat suggested otherwise. The warnings are contained in Defense Department budget requests sent to lawmakers in recent years. They include potentially hazardous living conditions for troops and their families, as well as unsafe schools that would impede learning. In numerous cases, the Defense Department warned that lives would be put at risk if buildings don’t meet the military’s standards for fire safety or management of explosives.
At some level, Trump must’ve known this was a possibility. We’re talking about a series of projects, requested by U.S. military leaders, scrutinized by Pentagon officials and members of Congress, and approved by congressional appropriators. The initiatives were deemed important and worthy of federal investment.

No matter how sad an heiress or CEO might be, their wealth affords them an indescribable level of luxury. When they’re feeling down, they can, hypothetically, take private jets to various remote islands and post bikini photos with their venture capitalist boyfriends. If the world were to end and everyone they loved perished in the literal fires of climate change, money would grant them access to the austere solitude of palatial underground compounds in New Zealand.
