Why does the media continue to cover the wall like it's a real thing?

You could give the MOFO 60 bazillion dollars and the fucking 2,000 mile big beautiful wall wouldn't be built in a hundred years.

It's like the media is covering a fucking fable like it's reality.

It's like the asspickle said that he was going to give us all unicorns and make us poop Rainbow Sherbert... and the media is saying we could have a unicorn and all the Rainbow Sherbert we can shit if the "other side" would "compromise".

The fucking media must be the ones who saw the Aquaman movie and are wondering why we've never found the fish people of Atlantis.

I mean...WTF?

Maybe they can solve the mystery of why Achilles didn't just turn around and step in the water.

That story has as much in common with reality as the fucking stupid never going to be built fucking wall.

Talk about normalizing shit.

This whole fucking thing is so God damned rediculous that thousands in the media should be locked up in a fucking sanitarium.

"The Wall" is just an excuse to pick a fight and hobble the Democratic Congress from getting shit done. McConnell's happy to play the doddering fool and keep out of the line of fire. Meanwhile he's looking for his opportunity to stick a knife in... someone.

Bullies force stupid fights on Smart Kids.

Special Treaties or Treaty dealing with barriers along the Colorado River. Do remember reading stories about flooding and river relocation issues.

So I do hope this Treaty move this issue to the garbage can where it belongs.

a POS that you know in your heart doesn't deserve one second of your serious thoughts.

I can't wait for the day America returns to normal. You know, the good old days when you would just catch a 10 second spot on Access Hollywood about which teenage foreign nude model Donnie Short Fingers was groping, and America would just collectively and justfiably go;. "Meh, that fucking asshole is still alive?"

without becoming raging alcoholics or adrenaline junkies. Some of the things I've been seeing cause me to despair of anything resembling normality again. Others give me hope that there's still a strong thread of sanity through these baffling times. This thread is one of them (thank you!).
