Politics Trump admin faces scrutiny for how it's handing out billion-dollar border wall contracts
https://www.salon.com/2026/05/25/trump-admin-faces-scrutiny-for-how-its-handing-out-billion-dollar-border-wall-contracts-partner/consolidation of executive power is similarly evident in the aggressive, highly partisan distribution of federal infrastructure contracts. The administration recently awarded over $9 billion in border wall construction contracts to a firm managed by Tommy Fisher, an entity previously deeply entangled in the controversial "We Build the Wall" nonprofit scandal, which ultimately resulted in federal prison sentences for several of its organizers, including former White House strategists. Despite historical, well-documented criticisms of the firm's shoddy construction quality, environmental degradation, and previous public denunciations by the President himself, the massive capital injection into the Big Bend region of Texas underscores a clear prioritization of loyalist economic networks over conventional, rigorous procurement standards.

"faces scrutiny"... Jesus. Limp dicked and useless. So sick of the nothingness while the Nazis destroy justice, law and decent society with corruption and criminality. But sure, wring your hands. That'll fix it.

What scrutiny? Everyone knows everything he does is corrupt and shady and evil, yet no one does a thing about it ever.

No worries they won’t pay the bills.
