What Are Bollocks?

I couldn't find that one in my dictionary, but I did find "tintinnabulation", which means the ringing of a bell.  I'm not sure what that word was doing in that context, maybe Uncle Ken was trying to say that Trump's pronouncements are noisy, but the ringing of a bell is usually not an unpleasant sound.

Be that as it may, the more I think about it, those pre-fab panels they are using to reinforce the border are not called bollards, they are being used to replace the bollards that were originally installed to exclude vehicles as well as various other types of fencing that were intended to exclude pedestrians.  These new things, whatever they are called, are supposed to exclude both vehicles and pedestrians.  Here's a link to a story that features a picture of those things being constructed:

"Like I said two minutes after the feds disappeared Beagles would be raising the roof over those awful state governments.  And  he knows it" - Uncle Ken  
Yup, that's what Americans do, they criticize their government when it does things of which they don't approve.  Uncle Ken is certainly not shy about criticizing everything that Trump says and does, so how can he fault me for criticizing the actions of other government people?
