As another misuse of tax payer money, Biden is selling unused sections of the wall that have already been paid for for pennies on the dollar. How much of an FU is this to tax payers and voters, and how petty is this?
Biden selling sections of border wall

Why does OP hate links, context, and details?
Probably because the details don't support his bullshit.
better to get some salvage out of them asap; than let them sit around and rot and pay for storage of them.
Here's why parts of the Arizona border wall are being sold at an online auction
Sections of the Arizona border wall have been up for sale at a public auction on a government surplus company's website.

The Texas Governor has already said he would buy them.
They have a ton of stuff on the GovPlanet auction site, I didn't see wall sections but damn, we are selling a bunch of crap

Timeline of events...
trump makes Mexico pay for construction materials to build wallbut loses re-election bid before finishing said wall.
Biden sells those materials. Entire sales price is profit since Mexico paid for them.
When trump gets back in office, he can make Mexico pay for them again.
Sounds like a winning deal for US taxpayers.

Thanks for sharing this. Countless hours will be spent sifting through all that crap, lol.
A Department of Defense official said that nearly 60% of these materials were transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the states of Texas and California for refurbishing ports of entry or other border security projects.
The federal government under Biden has given border wall materials to Texas on at least two occasions, including at least $6 million worth of leftover border wall materials in 2022, removed from the Arizona border region, which Texas incorporated into its plan to build its own border wall.
The Biden administration sold similar materials in 2023, just before approving construction of another 20-mile stretch. The parts also were sold through GovPlanet.
The Department of Defense responded to ABC15's questions about the auction. They said they were required by Congress in section 2890 of the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act to make a plan to use, transfer, or donate unused border wall.
They said they submitted their plan on March 14, 2024, then "resumed the disposal of border wall material in accordance with the plan on that date."
The Department of Defense said federal agencies had the opportunity to "review and request excess property." They say since March 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection requested and received roughly half the border wall material turned in by the Army Corps of Engineers.
A Department of Defense official told ABC15 that states on the southern border were given preference to request the other border wall materials and that Texas and California both requested and received some.
"Since enactment of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in December 2023, the Department of Defense has been in the process of disposing of excess border wall construction materials in accordance with Section 2890 of that statute. Through our reutilization, transfer, and donation process, nearly 60% of those materials were transferred to authorized recipients, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the states of Texas and California. The remaining 40% was sold to GOVPLANET under a competitive sales contract process beginning in June 2024. The material currently being sold through GOVPLANET online auctions no longer belongs to the U.S. Government, and DoD has no legal authority to recall the material or stop further resale of material it no longer owns."
What part of that do you need me to explain?
I wouldn’t bother if I were you.

Called it.
Since Mexico paid for it who do I make my check out to? No GD deer in my garden next year...
Delete the account immediately to save the zero respect you currently have.
Those prices are crazy! Anyone want four new toolboxes for $5?
Well, you wouldn’t have any deer, but given how shoddy Trump’s wall was your garden would probably be crawling with illegals who climbed it, went under it, or cut through it.
"Trump's wall" ?? What wall? I guess he forgot to build one. Mexico check?? 🤣🤣 That was a good one!!
Maybe they decided to not use that type of materials... What is the reason they did this? Do you have any idea of what you are talking about and then not giving any specifics.
haha, you dont know yet after all this time that Mexico didnt pay for this new wall.
You believe the Orange Haired Dumpster, poor you.
I will wait for you to post links to two articles that have proof that mexico paid for the wall.
Wait the OP told me I should be mad at Biden for doing this.
Better than selling Top Secret information like the previous admin.
That happened? Where? We need to tell somebody.
Or are we back to the left having to lie about shit to make themselves feel better?
Because @herkyhawk00 enjoys hitting the paint fumes hard before logging on.
Spare me your fake outrage. It's probably less than Trump's golfing.
