President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    That is the biggest ladder, extending from 20 feet to 35 feet. It goes for $500 to $800.

    So, how do you erect it? Dangerously, you could use a step ladder. The point is that your hands will need to be about 10 feet above the ground if it isn't extended. A better plan would be to use a crane... but then you have a crane and don't need a ladder.

    It's also too damn heavy to lug across the desert. Once we find it, we confiscate it. Overall, this is not a viable plan for millions of people crossing the border.
