The seemingly only government department that matters now. Plus the soldiers being forced to leave their incredibly important work to be twisted into situations where our best leaders are leaving over a fence with no meaning.
After the last general and then secretaries in the cabinet have been literally forced out of doing their jobs to focus upon a border fence. The only meaningful job must be at the Department of The-fence!!!

Multiple pieces of advice that are repeated to you when you're in the middle of something. Used when you've already dismissed the advice or are focusing on another part of an action.
Person A: Remember to take a step to your right before you bowl.
Person B: Um, okay.
*Person B takes a step to the right and bowls, but the ball skews to the left and enters the gutter.*
Person A: You took more than four steps before bowling. Make sure to count your steps.
Person B: Why would I need to--Ah, forget it.
*Person B takes a four-step approach before bowling, but the ball skews to the right again, this time hitting the seventh pin.*
Person A: Did you take a step to the right?
Person B: My problem isn't the delivery, it's the hook!
Do you want me to improve, or do you want to move your portable fence around?
