Stupid Republican idea of the day

Well this is rich. Architects submitted this proposal for Trump’s border wall that’s a one-way sheet of plexiglass.

“The company submitted a design for a wall, made of wire and plexiglass, that would work similar to a one-way mirror. The US would be able to see through (into Mexico), while the Mexico side would not.”

Complete with an artist’s rendering Dopers.

“Americans look just like us!!!”

Following links from there led me to a hot pink “Prison Wall” designed by a Mexican firm.

Windmills do not work that way!

From the current *Harper’s Magazine * “Findings” (pithy summaries of scientific studies):

“Regions of Italy that were exposed to Silvio Berlusconi’s entertainment-TV broadcasting remained likelier to vote for populist politicians for two decades; the study’s authors concluded that Berlusconi’s programming exposed older voters to biased evening news and made younger voters grow up to be stupider and less politically engaged.”

I could probably find a link to the study on Harpers.org if anyone is curious.

May I suggest they look into taking Flying Guillotines and making them autonomous wall-defending drones?

Surely no evil could come of this idea.

On trips to Italy over the past 20 years I noticed that television programming included women who were younger, bustier, and more naked than the norm. Did Berlusconi learn this from Fox News, or did they get it from him?

Somebody’s never watched Screamers. Shame. Sad.

That one is pretty awesome. I love that there are stairs on the U.S. side so we can all go up there and look down on the sad Mexicans below. Oh, and the mall is a great idea. Get your Trump crap (made in China) here!

Americans can stand on the edge and throw money down to the Mexicans who will then lob the drugs up to them.

Yeah, they could use those compressed-air T-shirt guns, like at a baseball game.

I can’t stop reading this gem.

Whatever you say, Mr. Lampert…

<backs away slowly>

We, THE BILLINGS (Montana) GAZETTE EDITORIAL BOARD, are backing Republican hopeful Greg Gianforte, because we don’t have the balls that God Gave A Goose. We know, we could have supported No One, but we need the revenue.

If only the Republicans at least gave us more young busty naked women on TV! They can’t even get THAT right!

The Mike Pence arm of the party is strongly opposed to young busty naked women.

I’m sure Pence has a strong attraction to young, naked, busty women. Why else would his wife need to chaperone him and watch his alcohol intake?

(Slightly altered for the political lulz but only slightly)

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch “Widget Head” McConnell said on Tuesday he has told President Donald Trump that he should pick federal appeals judge Merrick Garland to succeed ousted director James Comey at the head of the FBI.

You see, this way, if Garland becomes FBI head, Trump can appoint SomeOneElse to Garlands position of chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Then Trump can fire Garland ala Comey.

Boy! That Mitch McConnell. Is he smart!

Why would Garland accept?

Given how obsessed he is with Teh Gay, I rather doubt that, actually…

Garland declines as he is hip to Widget Head’s ruse.
