go and ask these people OP........
go and ask them if their walls work or not.
What hypocrites, my God!
How silly is that? Why would people compare walls (btw, many of those in your stupid fuckin gif/meme are bs and proven wrong LOL) with property/home perimeter fencing/walls?
Trump or the General - Who would/do you believe and why?
Long ago in a time and place far, far away from Tweet-land there was a man many accused of lying at an extraordinary pace - man who when confronted with lies would double down , but later admit it with an 'Ok, but so what?' -- and that man, that proven lair was pitted against a military careerist, a General - [
John Francis Kelly (born May 11, 1950) is a retired
U.S. Marine Corps general who served as the
White House Chief of Staff for
President Donald Trump from July 31, 2017 to January 2, 2019. He had previously served as
Secretary of Homeland Security in the
Trump administration. ]
In a previous job, as the head of the U.S. Southern Command, Kelly had spoken measuredly about the complex causes of mass migration in Central America. And as he prepared to take his position at D.H.S., which enforces federal immigration laws, he showed other signs of independence. He reportedly fought the Administration to prevent Kris Kobach, a Trump adviser and notorious hard-liner, from becoming his deputy. At his confirmation hearings, in January, he declared that Trump’s signature campaign proposal—a giant wall on the U.S.-Mexico border—“will not do the job.”
We know the article in the New Yorker has a few errors regarding Kelly's tenure at DHS - forever the loyal soldier (not always a quality we want to see in a man trusted to protect the US and not his immediate boss) - took a few hits for Trump, for the Team (especially actions of Jeff Beauregard Cracker Sessions). But that is to be expected when White House sources fear being caught speaking out (it was terrible under Obama too - but wingnuts and haters are clueless).
But we have a choice: Trump says one thing, Kelly says another -- who would you and/or who do you trust to be telling the truth?
Evaluating John Kelly’s Record at Homeland Security

“To be honest, it’s not a wall,” Mr. Kelly told The Los Angeles Times.
Mr. Kelly, whose last day in his role is Monday, said he had sought advice from Customs and Border Protection officials early in 2017, when he was the homeland security secretary. Mr. Kelly said he was told that “we need a physical barrier in certain places, we need technology across the board, and we need more people.”
He went on: “The president still says ‘wall’ — oftentimes frankly he’ll say ‘barrier’ or ‘fencing,’ now he’s tended toward steel slats. But we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration, when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it.”
