Please make sure your insurance covers eye rolling injuries. Shouldn’t eye rolling injuries be part of the Essential Health Benefits required of all insurance coverage?

Trump of course has never, ever heard of a little thing called; Rope.
or Ladders
or Tunnels
or Airplanes
or Boats
Since he only listens to Generals he should listen to one of the greatest, George S. Patton;
"Fixed fortifications are monuments to man’s stupidity. If mountain ranges and oceans can be overcome, anything made by man can be overcome.”

Trump told reporters then that he was putting himself “in great danger” by coming to the border. But, he said, “I have to do it. I love this country.”
If ever there were a time when drug dealers should have catapulted that bag over the wall…

“hardest to climb”
That lazy, wheezing fat-ass Trump couldn’t climb a fucking postage stamp. Anyway, it’s awfully hard to climb anything with a Big Mac in one hand and a greasy KFC chicken drumstick in the other.

Why would Mexicans wanting to enter the country be deterred by a concrete wall, you fucking moron? I thought they were all professional mountain climbers with calves the size of cantaloupes.
Trump:
preferred a fully concrete wall because it was the hardest to climb
adding later, that Donald Jr.s 5 concrete companies would see a major boost.

When I read concrete my first thought was that would be very easy to climb. Just think about what he wants is a 30’ high wall, that means slabs, slabs have joints that make climbing easy. As a kid and young man, my friends and I had fun climbing walls such as this. Remember even if you have problems climbing it only take one to make the initial climb and then lower ropes to assist others.
As for see through, if it is solid and see through then we have an amazing new material, win, win, win…otherwise any concrete see through wall just makes it easier and easier to climb.
But why climb when there is a railroad tunnel 30’ below…

I think Mexico should do like the US Army did against Noriega when he was holed up in his compound in Panama: send trucks with gigantic speakers and amplifiers wherever the wall crews are working and blast Trump’s incoherent speeches all during their work hours. Within a week they’ll be killing each other to get the hell out of there.
And I keep laughing at these estimates stating that the wall is “only” going to cost $18-30B dollars. Yeah, right. These are the same people who estimate a new jet fighter is going to cost $2.5B. I guess they think the entire stretch along the border is sandy soil. Good luck with that, bitches. If this monstrosity comes in under $150B, I’ll be fucking amazed. The graft on this project will be awesome!

Spot on, yea let’s spend $30Billion on concrete that will crumble quickly so that we can spend another $30Billion on repairs in a few years. Job, job, job see I told you The Dumpster was a job creator…

A fond memory from growing up in SoCal and attending a high school that was about a third Latino, probably many undocumented: in our P.E. class, we had to complete physical performance tests. One of them involved scaling a wall. My memory may be exaggerating the height, but every time I see the border wall prototypes it recalls my memory of our performance test wall. Anyway, it was definitely higher than a basketball hoop. The best-practice strategy was to sprint at the wall full speed, plant a foot about 3’ up and launch yourself upward high enough to get a grip on the top of the wall.
Shhhh, don’t tell GOPers that back in the day CA schools were teaching kids how to climb these walls.

The main reason he wants a wall is to have a lasting monument to himself (i.e. Great Wall of China). He wants a Trump Great Wall which will last for generations and put him in history books. Maybe realizes he’ll never get a Mount Rushmore type memorial. A fence type structure doesn’t have the grandiose feel he wants for the Trump Wall though I doubt that. It would be tacky and he is always more concerned with presentation then substance. And yes, it is a waste of money, mostly for bigoted reasons instead of security, and is the wrong visual for a supposedly “free” democracy.
He’s never even climbed a ladder. How would he know?
That’s a given for ‘Trumpcare’. Or it should be. Also ice packs for smacking one’s head against a wall.

“Trump, making his first trip to California as president, said Tuesday he preferred a fully concrete wall because it was the hardest to climb, but he noted that it needed to be see-through.”
All right, so two things, here.
-
On concrete being hard to climb: huh? Surely sheer metal is harder to climb than concrete. Plus, it gets hotter in the sun, making it a lot more uncomfortable to grip.
-
On it needing to be see-through: Why? Like, really, why?
He must be waiting for Scotty to disclose the molecular structure of transparent aluminum. But wait - Scotty’s not 'Merican.

Exactly.
I don’t know why we’re building a wall at all. As the NRA and Republicans tell us all the time, if a criminal wants to break a law, he’s going to find a way to do it, no matter how many barriers we put up.

See-through concrete. As Chris Hayes said last night, maybe build it out of the same material as the Emperor’s new clothes.
