Trump wants a transparent border wall...
July 16, 2017 at 11:33 pm
I wish this was just a joke, some master political satirist trying way too hard to make Trump look like an idiot, but really, nobody makes Trump look like an idiot more than Trump.
In a recent press conference, he added another new parameter he said would be necessary for a border wall:
The Motherfucker in the White House Wrote:"One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can't see through that wall -- so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall."
But that's not all: here's an actual reason he gave for why such a wall needs to be transparent:
Judge Holden in a stupid toupee Wrote:"As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them -- they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It's over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall."
Yes, he actually gave this as a plausible scenario.
On the bright side, he at least had the decency to scale back the potential border wall to about 700-900 miles.
And, yes, here's the CNN article I found this out from.

Is anyone else getting scared when real news sounds about as ridiculous as something you'd read on The Onion?

If the wall is inevitable (I'm not conceding that, btw) then it might as well be transparent, photovoltaic, carbon neutral, and low to no migratory animal/insect impact.
Interesting to contemplate the reaction of the Trump crowd to design criteria like that . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm guessing they'd have a problem with that part, since stopping animals and insects is exactly what they want the wall for in the first place.

I'd think they'd try harder than a cat flap every 100 feet. Still, let's not overestimate the mental acumen that is going to be applied to this project.
But if the wall turned out to be ultimately porous . . . . .

It will be so transparent that it will not even appear to be there.
But, he'll tell the Drumpfucks that it is there and the moron class will insist that it is. The same way they fall for all this jesus horseshit.
