Or doesn't it count when she says "large barrier" instead of "wall"

It counts as 700miles of barrier but NOT as 2000miles of wall...boltonboris wrote:Or doesn't it count when she says "large barrier" instead of "wall"

But let's say you're right, which you're not. What is the difference? The objection is the same. to keep those pesky mexicans out

Re: The Politics Thread
Also when challenged, she's now said that it isn't viable.. They'll just leave the bits open that aren't in "accessible areas" sop basically the desert. So those immigrants can try their luck in the desert and just die trying. That's nice. Much better than the physical, visible deterrent anyway.
But if it saves money.....
She did want a wall though. Sorry no. She wanted a fence. A fence as high as a wall. But a fence all the same
The crackpot country really does have 2 of the most despicably dangerous politicians in the western world. She's corrupt as fvck aswell as a massive, bull-shitting shower of shit and he's.. Well, he's just him and that's enough

Re: The Politics Thread
What are you on about you fvckin idiot?! She's said in the past that she wanted to erect a barrier "the length of the border" but changed this when Trump said it and it became (rightly) universally unpopular. What are you struggling with??thebish wrote:boltonboris wrote:The video I saw clearly indicated a large barrier covering the length of the borderthebish wrote:It counts as 700miles of barrier but NOT as 2000miles of wall...boltonboris wrote:Or doesn't it count when she says "large barrier" instead of "wall"

FYI the 700 mile barriers are there.. She wants to double (at least) layer that now

Re: The Politics Thread
Can we just agree that both are not desirable as President and both wish to have large erections against the Mexicans?

not enough to mistake 700 for 2000! and not enough to believe everything Trump claims! I think I'll survive!boltonboris wrote:You really are struggling. Poor old manthebish wrote:boltonboris wrote:Fence / Barrier / Wall.

Re: The Politics Thread
Yeah, sorry, you're a f*cking gibbering idiot if you've somehow managed to convince yourself there's an equality of repulsiveness between the Orange Muppet Hitler* Trump and the not-that-easy-to-warm-to Clinton.

They're both dreadful, but on somewhat different scales.

It's a terrible choice. You'd honestly wish a "no contest".

Re: The Politics Thread
What is the issue with Hillary? I mean I get she's a career politician who seems a bit desperate. Aye.
But she's not a mentalist like Trump. I mean Trump is not only mental but so rich that he's not used to having to work within any real rules. Exactly the sort of meglomaniac any right minded individual should fear.
Hillary is fairly sensible in her voting patterns and whilst she may have some unpleasant history and be a bit dodgy, surely, vastly preferable to Trump in just about any sense?

Re: The Politics Thread
I hate to say this but I agree with the insane one. Hilary is a fairly normal politician with some shady (but largely unproven) history. Trump is, as Insano states, a dangerous megalomaniac with a frighteningly large cult-like following of not very discerning individuals.BWFC_Insane wrote:What is the issue with Hillary?

Re: The Politics Thread
Isn't everyone agreeing with that though, generally?
The real worry I have is that, as happens everywhere, the obvious bellends seem to win so often. Who is it that hears Trump speak and doesn't think 'yeah, bellend'? They get to vote too.

I heard Trump described today as "Homer Simpson standing for President ... for real".
