#stupid wall

[messrsbyler]

you know when you are writing and it's going so good and so smooth over days, and you hit a high word count and it feels effortless... but THEN you hit a stupid wall and can't think of what comes next so you have to stop to plan what to write next but nothing comes to mind so all faith in that project you are so deep in goes out the window? yeah, funny how that happens

For @coveitous from here

The regret, the guilt. He was feeling it now.

“I know.” It sounded… not enough. Like she was trying to placate him, like she didn’t know at all. “I wouldn’t be here if you were. Just… I am. I am like that. And I’m trying not to be.”

Was that love? Wanting to be better for the benefit of someone else and not yourself?

Even the silence was heavy. “Fuck the wall. Didn’t like it anyways- we’ll pick a new paint or something.” She would have it fixed as soon as he was at work next. The last thing he needed was a nasty reminder of a part of himself he couldn’t stand. “I’ll need to strap the finger.”

Funding Pulled from Schools, Defense Projects for The Stupid Wall

Funding Pulled from Schools, Defense Projects for The Stupid Wall

The actual Pentagon may cut financing from army projects such as schools, target runs and upkeep facilities to cover the building of 175 kilometers of fencing across the US -Mexico edge, diverting an overall total $3. 6 million to The Angry Cheeto‘s long-promised hurdle.

Projects within 23 says, 19 nations and 3 US territories will be stalled or even killed through the plan, although just…

Why the Wall is Objectively Futile

I try and avoid getting political with posts. My disdain for the president is no secret, but I don’t like doing angry posts without a proper opinion beyond “he’s a racist, sexist, bigoted idiot”. So I’m going to try and explain, as objectively as I am able, why this wall Trump has spent so much of his time promoting, promising, and falling back on; is foolish and pointless. I want this to be as logic-based as possible.

*Let’s start with the big one. The wall Donald is proposing is HUGE. Actual size has varied, but let’s say 1000 miles, a length he himself has pushed for and might settle for. How long do you think it will take to build a 1000 mile wall? It’s not 3-5 weeks, not 3-5 months, probably not even 3-5 years. Trump will not be in office when this wall is being built. The man is 72 years old and president. He may not realistically be around in 3-5 years.

*Democrats and other opponents will continue to fight Trump’s wall. It’s not a small minority of radical liberals who are opposing this wall from social media, a large population of voters and politicians throughout the country and within the government itself are fighting this wall and will continue to fight this wall. The amount of time it’s taking to get the wall OK’d has already dragged on much longer than Trump wants. Even if he gets the funding, every step of the process will see opposition. Even if he fights and wins his way through each obstacle, it will take more time and the wall will take longer to complete.

*This wall will drain money as long as it’s going on. $5 billion is how much Trump wants. Realistically, nothing this ambitious ever stays under budget. It will cost more than he anticipated, meaning he’ll need more money. Meaning another step Democrats & others can and will fight him. Meaning more time, more money.

*The wall will require maintenance, this is just a fact. Any large construction requires upkeep, even without facing hostilities. More money, more time, more opposition, and therefore even more money, even more time. It’s not something that’s ever finished. If the wall was actually invulnerable it would still require upkeep. But it won’t be, so add a few more zeroes to the cumulative costs.

*What does the wall actually give us? An outdated form of defense that will crumble in the event of modern warfare. The technology for tearing down walls isn’t new, it’s centuries old. Meaning one does not even need modern weaponry to do some damage. Civil War cannonballs would do some damage. Same with a stick of dynamite. I’m not saying I expect us to be at war with Mexico any time soon, I’m saying people break shit because it’s there and it’s fun. A 1000 mile wall is like someone’s LEGO fort that’s been put on display; there’s always someone who wants to play rough with it.

There has got to be something better our president can be spending his time on. There just has to be. Because no matter which way you look at this wall, it’s just a burden.

Just thought I’d mention that there’s a tribe of Native Indians that have their territory on both the US and Mexico. Indians have their own government and don’t have to follow what the US government require. I’m sorry that I don’t remember the name of the tribe off hand, but they’re around the New Mexico area and go across the border. Because of that, Mexican civilians that want to try to cross the border commonly try to cross there even though many of them die in the desert. If Trump thinks that he can build a wall to keep out “aliens”, he can’t force those Native Americans to give up even more of their land to build that wall and there will still be a way for people to try to cross. What’s the point of forcing people to move to build a wall when it won’t even do anything?

If anyone can add the name of the Indian tribe, I’d appreciate it.

I’m sorry if I’m not using the most correct terms for this

Trump should get a go fund me for his wall. Not paying taxes on a wall I don't want.

It would not surprise me at all to find out that one of Trump’s companies which does all the construction of his hotels gets a no-bid contract for building the stupid, unnecessary and ineffectual wall and it’s all a boondoggle for Trump and his family to bilk billions of dollars from the American people.
