    A “Wall.”

    Wasn’t that what France’s “Maginot Line,” was?

    Didn’t exactly “stop” the Germans 79 years ago.

    Just saying….,

    Ignoranus. I like that word. And I know just who deserves it.

    The irony is, if our resident Nitwit-‘n-Chief actually got this wall or barrier or fence, or whatever the heck he’s calling it today, more than likely a large percentage of the people building it would be Hispanic construction workers who’ve come here from Mexico and South and Central America.

    Dana Milbank in the WashPost is having fun with Trump’s wall idiocy. He consulted with wall specialists of the historical variety:

    The Great Wall of China did not work, either, Mordie. Neither did the wall of Constantinople against the Persians. Hadrian’s Wall backfired, too.

    Building walls (including ghettos and border walls) was a big thing with the Nazis in the U.S. during the 1920s. Guess whose father was arrested during a Nazi rally in NYC in the 1920s? Bystander or participant? Anyone’s guess. A wide range of sources with a wide range of leanings or non-leaning (Snopes):

    Now, all that said and back to the dandelion patch, Opus may risk killing the dandelions with a wall. If its footing is deep enough then water flow will be disrupted leading to periods of localized flooding and drought (depending on if it rained or not and how good the drainage and the organic soil components are), inability to spread seeds, sunlight deprivation, etc.

    Sorry, Opus, but not thinking things through and just thoughtlessly throwing money or structures at problems tends to backfire.

    BTW, did anyone else see the report on how every wall prototype was defeated in DHS tests, with the steel slats most recently being pushed being easy enough to cut through with saws?

    This might give people some laughs:

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trackdown-trump-character-wall/

    “An episode of the 1950s western TV series ‘Trackdown’ featured a snake oil salesman named ‘Trump’ who promised to build a wall in order to prevent the end of the world.”

    After Trump builds his wall, will he also build a monorail?

    It seems to me that the better time to insist on that blessed wall would have been when he had a sh*tload of republicans in both the house and the senate…unless of course, this is about something else.
