Trump urges Spain to build a wall..across the Sahara desert.

by Syl Thu Sep 20, 2018 5:58 pm

Because, wait for it....The Sahara desert cant be longer than the Mexican wall he plans to build. lol!

"Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon recommended building a wall across the Sahara to solve Europe's migrant crisis, Spain's foreign minister says.
Josep Borrell, also a former President of the European Parliament, disagreed with the strategy.
The comments came during a visit Mr Borrell made to the US at the end of June.

Mr Trump's pledge to build a wall between the US and Mexico was one of his best-known election promises.

Mr Borrell recounted his conversation with the US president at a lunch event in Madrid this week, Spain's foreign ministry confirmed to the BBC.
"The border with the Sahara cannot be bigger than our border with Mexico," Mr Borrell quoted Mr Trump as saying.
The US-Mexico border is 1,954 miles (3,145 km) long. The Sahara desert stretches for 3,000 miles."

I agree. Many threads and many claims he’s “going down” but nothing yet.

Trump says :

Spain should build a wall across the Sahara..

And make those camels pay for it !

What is interesting is when and where people have a beef about a wall

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_barrier

So why are now people only piping up with the US?

Double standards?

Again, I am all for people wanting to migrate, but the people shouting outrage against walls, have certainly been silent when on other nations

In other words, people are using the plight of people for political gain, espcially the Democrats

I'm sure you can find some left-wing Americans who've spoken out against border walls in other lands.

Most, however, worry more about what's happening to us than to people in other countries.

Most importantly, it's ridiculous to expect someone to speak out against all the world's evils or assume that they support them. There isn't enough time to speak out against all of them, for one thing.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've never specifically spoken out against taking a shit in someone else's breakfast, but that doesn't mean I'm pro-breakfast-shitting.

In other words they are then utter hypocrites, because its become a global issue with Trump calling for this

You see this is what the left do. Countless situations based on security have never had them batter an eyelid. Have a situation where they can gain popularity against a Politician and then they are jumping up and down, better than a bunch of hungry chickens

Hence its not ridiculous to point out when people do not certainly speak out of where there have been walls for years for security reasons and one of them still exists today in Northern Ireland in Belfast. Its there for security reasons. The only one built to keep people in was the Berlin wall and that was to stop people leaving for the west.

So when you show the worst hypocrsy and why I will pull you up on being utter hypocrites, is because now you claim its only about things that matter to you locally? Bull, its only ever about opposition to the Toupee man, Trump, who is a dick

I thought you cared globally, or are you simple another nationalist?

Of course it is, if you have a hostile nation next door. Mexico is hardly hostile, it poses absolutely no threat to the United States.

How about when you go on the tube?

Or you call it the subway.

Is there barriers there?

Are people using the tube hostile?

They need to have a legal ticket to travel right?

So do people need to have a legal right to enter the US?

When the Soviets built the Berlin Wall for "security reasons", it was to keep East Berliners trapped inside, not so much to keep everybody else out...

The Great Wall of China and Hadrian's Wall were both built to keep barbaric hordes on the other side -- how well did they work in practice ???

With regard to the Dumpster's Mexico Wall, how much will it contribute to "security", with nearly 30% of the border remaining open ? And making American consumers pay for his empty political statement through tariffs on goods coming in from Mexico..

Se my privious posts

I already said it would be impractical to build and manage.

What I am showing is how in my everyday things we have barriers, which only allow people who have valid tickets, passports to use etc. Yet where people are concerned of uncontrolled borders, we have this extreme by Trump, but anyone genuilly concerned at controlling this is classed as racist.

That is just ridiculous to claim

by Guest Sat Sep 22, 2018 3:32 pm

Seriously. I want to know why nobody is championing for many everyday security barriers to taken down. From the Subway, trains, airports and ports etc?

Again I think the idea of building such a wall is impracticable. As it would be impossible to to maintain the security of such a long lengh of US borders.

What I am more interested is the sheer hypocrisy shown by posters here,

In realty, all posters here are like Trump in the view when on the subway, train or airport. That people should have a valid ticket. Yet on the border lines of Mexico. They have a complete volte face on oppoisition to a barrier . That attempts to to do the very same thing they see every day at airports, ports, subways etc.

That shows that many people never ever think through what they are arguing.

A natural ready-made border between two continents.

Because Spain claims territory in Africa, this means there is a corner of africa that is part of europe . . . and that is where Trump wants this wall built.

This just shows the ludicrousness of talk about walls. Perhaps once historically relevant, they are now only symbolic. As they say in Texas, the answer to a 30-foot wall is a 31-foot ladder.

This shows how feeble-minded Trump is. That he urges that we actually spend $25-billion to make it happen, shows us how costly it is to have a feeble-minded president.

If it's worth it, they'll still use a 31-foot ladder. Trump urges Spain to build a wall..across the Sahara desert. 2190311264

Are we talking about Hadrian's Wall, or the Antonine Wall in Britain? The Roman walls, as with the Great Wall of China, were built when technology was such that they could not be overcome.

Walls were originally a tactic of warfare: they would stop large scale assaults and melees, charges of heavy horse, and the like. Any sense of an individual barrier--such as stopping immigrants from coming into a territory or country--is largely symbolic.

Any barrier sends a message; that is why most walls are posted with signs. Walls are expensive as symbols go. An anchor fence will do nicely. The idea that only a wall will do, is largely for the feeble-minded. The idea that a country will spend $25-billion on a wall (US/Mexico border) is for a country run by a feeble-minded ruler.

What is the difference? What do you mean by the "principle of having barriers"? You don't need to abstract the notion: Fences don't work. What could be simpler?

So if they do not work, why then bother with such fences at subways, train staions, the airports?

I mean what could be simpler for you?

If something dose not work according to you, then why bother have this?

Why hve a law that protects womens rights?

Or those raped?

The law does not protect them does it?

It only punishes those who do break the law abusing them

As to Hadrians wall it did actually stop for a couple of hundred years the Picts from raiding

That is a historical fact

Yet I see the point has gone over that pea size brain of yours

The point is on whether you think barriers are worth it

Clearly in history and security they are

So again, if barriers sens the wrong message

Why not do away with any form of border control?

Why bother having barriers in the Subway?

Fences are symbolic, and they provide places to hang signs indicating a barrier. But they are not the barrier. They are useless as actual barriers.

Like I said, all you need for a 30-foot wall, is a 31-food ladder.

I told you: it's symbolic...a place to hang a sign.

Simple question, simple answer. You don't need to make it more complex.

Most particularly, you don't need an expensive wall--$25-billion at the latest estimate for the US-Mexico border--when all you are doing is posting a sign. Most immigrants come in through the ports-of-entry, anyway. It's ridiculous.
