Why not just equip the US military with rocks and slings then? Probably would save us a hell of a lot of $$ in the defense budget. Maybe even enough for a wall!
They formed a human chain to haul the discarded tires out of the muck and through the trees.
It took a cadre of volunteers, police cadets and furloughed federal workers two hours on Thursday to clear more than 1,000 tires from a muddy stream bed and steep embankment at Fort Dupont Park.
Police said the tires had been dumped in the 376-acre expanse in Southeast Washington by one man who authorities believe was paid by auto body shops to unload used tires
Gonna be honest though I think 99% of people on the street don't know this kind of stuff. Left/right/academic/working class.
It's funny he opened his mouth about it, though.
What if instead of building a full wall, you built a partial wall that was on wheels so it could roll itself in front of illegal immigrants when they get too close to the border.
I will not let you refer to the good people of Mexico in that manner
Shush don't give him any ideasWhy not just equip the US military with rocks and slings then? Probably would save us a hell of a lot of $$ in the defense budget. Maybe even enough for a wall!
I think a few people in this thread almost got it right, but what he was doing was trying to attack people who have been rightfully attacking the wall for being an antiquated method of dealing with issues like this. He's saying something like "People who think walls are outdated and useless are stupid. See? We still use wheels and they are old!"
The world's oldest known wall is 11,500 years old
Archaeologists believe that wheels for transportation came into use about 5200 years ago.
I mean, for the normal person, the wall and the wheel were both invented "a long ass time ago".

Old things are always bad, but also always good. Let's build the wall and be heroes.keep in mind, though, that one of the right's favorite ways to attack net neutrality is to claim that it's based off of really old principles. And remember -- if something is old, it HAS to be bad.
I'm going to imagine that Trump actually asked a Secret Service agent if their cars have wheels, and then laugh at the image of the agent's face as he struggled to determine if Trump was serious.
Conservatives saying that old things are bad seems pretty off to me! :Dkeep in mind, though, that one of the right's favorite ways to attack net neutrality is to claim that it's based off of really old principles. And remember -- if something is old, it HAS to be bad.
Ropes are pretty old too. And they still beat walls. 45 even acknowledged this.

I believe this is pretty much the best explanation of what he's trying to sayI don't understand his analogy anyway. I seriously has no idea what he is trying to say in that tweet. Shouldn't he say that walls are older, that humans created the wall before the wheel and that's the reason why walls are so important?

Interesting! I think I had missed all of that at the time. And, yeah, that's definitely - if not hypocritical - an odd line of attack.https://americansforprosperity.org/sorry-mr-president-the-internet-isnt-a-19th-century-railroad/
It was literally their favorite go to line about net neutrality: "19th century! 1900's!!"
Of course, they'd make these claims, then defer to the "founding fathers" moments later on other issues, so they're consistently hypocrites at least.

Not enough people are going to appreciate this post.
Ah. Should have guessed it was some false equivalence bullshit.We've successfully be using "the wheel" for time immemorial yet "the wall", a similarly antediluvian device, suddenly isn't good enough?!
Huh, I didn't know that either. Thanks for all the info today! It's been interesting.the most absolutely insane thing of it all? Net Neutrality is based off of Right to Use policy... which was a republican invention. In fact, it's quintessentially republican. It was the compromise they formed to allow for natural monopolies. It's literally some of their most basic ideology in practice.
These policies were invented to counter the fear of nationalised telephone lines, nationalized railroads, etc.
weird flex, but okEven the really expensive ones the Secret Service uses, and believe me they are expensive,
