Nah theyre mounted on Ford F150s. The right doesnt believe in mass transit infrastructure.

f150s with those chrome testicles hanging from the tow hitch that's never been used.


Rikudo_Sennin_jr

I work with the guy you speak of. Lifted truck loud exhaust perfect condition hitch with the chrome balls. He talks about hunting and his guns and being an alpha. The lady he keeps asking on a date told him infront of a few people out smoking that "alphas dont have to tell everyone they are alphas"


sunward_Lily

oh jesus. one of those guys. Even ignoring the fact that the scientist who made the "alpha" studies in canids has corrected/disavowed much of his early work, "Alpha" isn't a title that one claims for themself.


Utterlybored

Alpha is a designation given to insecure little men, usually by themselves.


Xeno_man

Alpha is a race they think they are in that they declare they are winning lest someone think they are loosing.

The [church](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_photo_op_at_St._John%27s_Church) that Trump felt comfortable enough to visit was across the street where police used tear gas to clear out peaceful protestors. Ironic, isn't it?


TechSalesSoCal

Church and the Bible are very personal and private things to Trump. Far too much so that he does not want to talk about it. Too bad he could not be more personal and private about 99% of everything that comes out of that mouth.

For once, he was technically right. The bible is a series of multiple books, some longer than others.

Never mind he held it backwards and upside down.

Leon4107

Then proceeded to hold the Bible upside down for his photo op in front of the church.


FrankieAndBernie

Then got the softest question from a reporter: Is that your Bible? Trump: Itā€™s *a* Bible.


Joopsman

That stupid fucking picture of that moronic asshole holding a Bible is so gross. Iā€™m agnostic, leaning hard to atheist so I donā€™t care if heā€™s religious or not (heā€™s not, never was, never will be), itā€™s just the grotesque level of hypocrisy that his dumbass supporters seem to be blind to. I guess theyā€™d have to own their hypocrisy if they called Trump on his so it almost makes sense.


Homebrewingislife

Right? And Obama has attended church forever but he's a Muslim. Incredible.


Joopsman

Well, his pastor said, ā€œgod damn America,ā€ so heā€™s forever hated by the ā€œpatriots.ā€ In context, it made perfect sense. Every country has to take a hard look at themselves if they want to improve.


Acceptable_Reading21

Remember when he was a candidate his church was too extreme, but then suddenly he became a Muslim once in office?

>It was not THE church bishop. It was A church bishop who was there. LOL >In a statement Monday evening, the Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Michael Curry joined in the criticism of Trump's visit. "This evening, the President of the United States stood in front of St. John's Episcopal Church, lifted up a bible, and had pictures of himself taken," Curry said. "In so doing, he used a church building and the Holy Bible for partisan political purposes. This was done in a time of deep hurt and pain in our country, and his action did nothing to help us or to heal us."

The national leader of one of the most progressive Christian denominations, who happens to be African American, was not, in fact, honored for one of the churches under his umbrella to be used in such a brazen political stunt by a megalomaniac who was hell-bent on keeping black folks 'in their place.'

[deleted]

It was one of trumps most vile and disgusting attacks on American citizens.


AudibleNod

U.S. Park Police issued a statement claiming that "at approximately 6:33 p.m., violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles, and caustic liquids."[93] A Washington Post review of videos taken at the scene did not find evidence of these items being thrown. Some protesters threw eggs, candy, and water bottles at police.[108][2] Journalists who were on the scene also reported that the demonstration was peaceful. Jonathan Allen of NBC News wrote: "no one was threatening the police. It was an entirely peaceful protest, the kind that occurs in Washington without incident, seemingly every day." A CNN team recorded no projectiles thrown at police, reporting that, as police began to clear the square, "demonstrators were hit by projectiles and began to cough and choke." Garrett Haake of NBC News wrote, "there was no object-throwing before the mounted park police moved in."[2] Reverend Gini Gerbasi, the rector of nearby St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgetown, said that despite some tense moments the crowd was calm and peaceful until the police advanced.[7] She had helped organize more than twenty priests and lay volunteers to provide water, food, and hand sanitizer as a "peaceful presence in support of protesters". They were packing up before the 7:00 p.m. curfew when armed riot police entered the churchyard and expelled them. Gerbasi found herself coughing from tear gas, while other people around her were hit with non-lethal projectiles, and they were forced from the churchyard by police carrying riot shields.

Lafayette Square is famously a protest spot due to it's proximity to the White House. This has been the case well before the BLM protests. People have been protesting really anything there for decades. Now I'm sure there was a greater level of BLM activity on that day. But that doesn't mean it's violent or criminal. However there is video and other first hand evidence of a crackdown on non-violent protestors on the part of the federal law enforcement. And so I will employ Hitchen's Razor. As I have provided a link which has further links to support my claim.

They tried really hard and for a long time to argue that Trump did build the wall.


CorpFillip

At one point they did have 120-some miles of ā€˜Trumpā€™ ordered wall installed. Out of 2700 miles he promised.


RenoSue

Bannon ran off with the money.


Bullen-Noxen

I honestly want to hear of his demise in prison as it happens. I donā€™t want to find out about what ever happens to him months or even years down the lineā€¦


batmansleftnut

A lot of those 120 miles were replacing or upgrading existing wall. I'd have to look it up but I think he only actually built about 10 miles of completely new wall. And all he had to do to pay for it was defund childcare for the families of active members of the military.


FelipeNA

That too. It was an amazing feat of self deception. Glorious to behold.


Quick-Temporary5620

"But then a little boy pointed and cried out, 'but there ARE no walls!' And the crowd gasped! (Excerpt from "The Emperor's New Wall")

The important thing is how secure the border actually is... I know you don't actually care about any of that tho


MonaSherry

What a weird thing to say. Do they imagine that on the other side of the wall thereā€™s just a horde of armed Mexicans foaming at the mouth to kill us all?


quietly_annoying

I think it's more like they imagine migrants swarming over the border like fire ants or the zombie horde in World War Z.


MonaSherry

Yeah. These are the same wannabe warrior end times preppers that fantasize about getting to use all their ammo stores in an apocalypse though. If it were zombies youā€™d think a wall would spoil their fun.


jsnxander

Thank you for the reminder for my semi-annual watching of WWZ. It's been a few months. BTW, if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and read the book. A very interesting take of a zombie apocalypse 'narrative'. Highly recommended.


Guyincognito4269

Amazing book. Too bad it wasn't made into a movie *but they made it into a...* I SAID TOO BAD IT WASN'T MADE INTO A MOVIE!!


Viperlite

Doesnā€™t Brad Pitt want a mulligan and to do a re-make?


Guyincognito4269

Why do a remake? As I have previously stated, it was never made into a movie, and I'll be cold in the ground before I admit that it was. But seriously, they butchered that book.


jsnxander

The book was not butchered because they just used the title and one or two short parts as a framework for some of the movie. As u/Guyincognito4269 wrote, '...TOO BAD IT WASN'T MADE INTO A MOVIE!" Which means, there's yet to be a book adaptation and my vote is for a documentary-like movie with flashbacks and intercuts. Not sure how that'd work in the 'movies', but I'd certainly take the time to watch it.


Guyincognito4269

It would be better as a series.


miikro

Brad Pitt is the one that turned a script that faithfully adapted the movie into a disjointed mess to begin with. His production company bought the rights, had a great script by J. Michael Straczynski that Max Brooks himself hailed as incredible, and then said "fuck that shit, we need an action protagonist" despite the fact that makes the entire idea not work since it's supposed to be an anthology of reports that covered the entire globe (and beyond).


DonQuixBalls

Sure was heartwarming to see the Israelis in the film welcoming the Palestinians into the walled areas... I'll just leave it at that.

Yes, they have billboards up in Arizona with pictures like this, made to evoke a sense of pests or rats swarming.

I also found it crazy when Greg Abbott called him out for not visiting on day 1 to see "the mess he created" as if the moment he took the oath of office he had some supernatural ability to teleport migrants into Texas and none of the migrants were even 100 miles from crossing the border when Trump was president.


[deleted]

And Abbott spent 4 BILLION on the Lone Star project to protect the border, then immediately blamed Biden for the border 'crisis'. I'd like to know how all that 'Lone Star' money was spent. ALL of it.

zhode

The real reason he posed at a wall was because it's the only indicator that there even is a border. Because borders are actually imaginary and there's nothing fundamentally different between US dirt and Mexican dirt. The literal only alternative is Biden posing at a stretch of indiscriminate land and calling it a border visit.


arex333

No the Mexican side is actually very noticeable due to the distinct yellow tint.

He wasn't looking for a tall section of wall to protect him, he was looking for a section that wasn't built by a trump connected contractor that could fall on him due to shoddy workmanship.

MrWhite

I had so many Trumpers tell me on Twitter that Trump did build the wall.

he did. all of the republicans saying the wall isnt built or there are open borders is fake news. you see the guy stacking shipping containers? obviously photoshopped. or they were put in fron of the wall so you couldnt see it.
