As opposed to stingy tax payers. The Gates are for taxing folks like them more.

How is a wall “great and powerful” unless it’s vanity wall?
And stingy Dems? Wait… I thought the GOP was the party of stingy considering they’re supposed to be the party of balanced budgets. Geeze…
Remember annual budgets? That used to happen all the time. And raising the debt ceiling was no biggie either.

So I’m just making sure that I understand correctly that I’m waking up in a world where a Republican president just referred to Democrats as, “stingy,” is that correct?

Now I know none of us here likes Mitch McConnell at all and I know I’m asking a lot but can someone do a close check for excessive facepalm injuries?

Biggest, longest and bestest wall ever!

IIRC Lalo Alcaraz drew this one too.

What was hysterical was that when he first posted it people came out of the woodwork complaining that the Ideal Border Wall didn’t include enough places; Indiana, Missouri and Iowa were particular points of contention.


And now … just because.

Note: Preso is Spanish for “prisoner.” Thus the Chapo is (a double “ex-prisoner”).

Reminds me of Eddie Izzard’s comment about the British space program. They have a ladder.

“It’s going to be a great, powerful wall. People will not be able to get through that wall very easily, and I think you see that. I think you see it happening…We have other things happening which people aren’t talking about, but we have a lot of funds for a lot of other things and with the wall they want to be stingy, but we have options that most people don’t really understand.”

This, of course, is the language of a child-man.

Consider a dining room table or a saucepan, or a wall for that matter. Calling it “powerful” would not tell you anything about the object – the adjective simply does not apply – but would tell you a lot about the speaker, who obviously is projecting his needed self-image onto his nut-job description of the object: an inarticulate egomaniac needing to be seen as powerful himself. And then this mystery man with his Wizard Of Oz awesome power can not restrain himself from indulging his hollow identity: it’s always “We’ll see what happens”, “We have other things happening”, “We have a lot of funds for a lot of other things”, "We have options that most people don’t really understand.”

This is the language of a moron with a massive personality disorder, sitting in the Oval Office.

Trebuchets were popular when I was in college 50 yrs ago. They’d launch a bale of weed a considerable distance.

  1. So says the guy who promised the ignorant rubes that his smaller govt is better govt and that he would drain the overpriced corrupt swamp.

  2. Now that El Chapo is landing in jail, the Mexicans will never dig tunnels again.

  3. There are a lot of recently unemployed undocumented immigrants from TrumpCo that will work on the border projects for cheap.

A good trebuchet is a timeless classic! A drummer I used to play with built one to fling unwanted CDs nearly into orbit.

This is someone who requiresthat he be the smartest one in the room… Hence “things nobody else can understand”. He lives in fear of being shown up as not all that bright.

I was thinking during the shutdown that his constant references to the “strong”, “powerful”, “steel” “barrier” were all maladjusted coping strategies / projections wrt the size of his “hands”. :smirk:

The Dems were never supposed to pay. Why not tell the truth and say that Mexico is stingy.
