Can we stop posting this everywhere?
It isn’t like a random Lemmy comment is going to do anything
It keeps people remembering that this is a distraction from the Epstein stuff. A useful reminder, I’d say.
The reality is that the Trump administration doesn’t care
You are just spamming. They will not released the files because they would incriminate Trump and some of his backers. It is messed up but the truth is sometimes hard to hear.
No
It made me smile and reminded me that Trump is scum.
I’m not doing this because I think Trump will read a Lemmy comment and decide to turn himself in. I’m doing it because I’m pissed off and I want to associate every possible bit of news about MAGA politics with this. They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with distracting people, and we should be allowed to express that we’re not being fooled, even if it’s ultimately just a gesture.
I want those files like Jonah Jameson wants pictures of Spider-man
Why bro, are you on the list, you’re starting to sound an awful lot like Trump right now you weirdo
Ok Epstein.
As soon as the people in the Epstein file are arrested and go to court then sure.

If they make the wall black, won’t ICE try to deport it?
No, but the cops will burn through their entire budget on ammo shooting at it, and several of them will need time off to recover from shouting “stop resisting” too much
Request for medical leave states: Officer suffered vocal chord damage while responding to shootout. 6 to 8 weeks of paid leave.
Add it to the pile of really obviously stupid ideas that can be thwarted with 3 seconds of thought…
The issue isn’t about thwarting the plan. The Wall already doesn’t work. Even conservative think tanks will admit to that much.
The issue is coming back to The Wall as a cultural rallying point. Build it 10’ taller. Build two walls. Put turrets on the walls. Patrol with drones. Add more barbed wire. Unleash sharks with laser beams on their heads into the Rio Grande. Litter the border with radioactive waste.
Anything to get people to turn their eyes south and say “Aaaah! Invasion! It must be stopped!” The Wall is just the latest panacea for a problem these people invented. They’re going to keep coming back and re-imagining it in between cooking up increasingly elaborate hoaxes about armies of brown people marching across it to Steal our Freedom.
The percentage of the population for whom 3 seconds of thought is too much to ask is disheartening. But also nothing new.
It’s not the quantity of thought but the quality that disturbs me.
It’s literally the wall song from Hadestown.
And Noem said Homeland Security was going to be trying black paint to make the metal hotter.
'K… ish… I mean, I get the physics, but, doesn’t this murican know the concept of nighttime?
Or… gloves? I mean climbers use gloves sometimes I’m pretty sure…
Rock climbers don’t, they need skin contact for good grip. Crack climbers do, but they’re the opposite of what you’d expect, they only protect the back of the hands.
Ice climbers wear gloves because it’s usually too cold for bare hands.
Or gantes even.
Where those Epstein files at??
Good thing DOGE saved us so much money that we can now easily afford to pay for completely logical projects such as this.
Shit, I didn’t realize that angle grinders were so sensitive to black paint.
As someone who lives somewhere that just got up to 120° f hot metal is no joke. We had a ton of people hospitalized a few years back because they went to open gates to their homes and weren’t expecting scolding hot metal when it was already like 11pm.
I’m not going to hate this because it’s a idea that doesn’t work, I’m going to hate it because it’s just another method to harm people who want to come to the land of the free. On top of it border states like to charge people for leaving out water so just anything they can possibly do to be vindictive and hateful I guess.
scolding hot metal
I like the mental imagery — it’s not scalding hot, no, the metal is actively chastising you.
Because if there’s anything people have learned about Mexico, it’s that they don’t have any blankets. Or anything like rope or fabric covers that can easily just be tossed on it.
What happened in 1855?
If it’s that hot, I imagine the metal is gonna be hot regardless of what color paint
people who want to come to the land of the free.
No, it’s the southern border of the US.
So she knows someone who sells black paint. Didn’t take a lot to figure that out.
Oughta be illegal to be that stupid
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have a 34x felon and convicted rapist, very very possible child molester in the Whitehouse.
No shit Sherlock. Still oughta
Take a step back from the fascism, human rights violations, kidnappings, and concentration camps and just think about the fact that these people are in charge of the government. Regardless of politics, these people are just objectively stupid and have virtually no understanding of anything outside of knowing how to give speeches and spread propaganda.
I know things are bad and will continue to get worse before they get better, but I do take some solace in the fact that these people are so incredibly stupid that they will never be able to run a productive or efficient government. It’s like watching as your boss makes his son a manager and seeing everything go to shit around him.
All 65 miles of it?
One of his buddies sells paint. Grifted.
Demonstrating the great critical thinking power of conservatives :)
I wish
would be fuckin hilarious if they painted the US side and completely forgot about the Mexican side.
then when they go to paint the Mexican side, Mexico says, “no, that’s our side”
They’re probably painting the US side black to stop americans from leaving.
lmao
like Americans could climb anything other than a cholesterol chart.
In this bizarro back assword timeline we’re living in, it’s not only “hilarious”, but also quite plausible. Paint and labor paid by yours truly, via taxes
Of course nobody in Mexico has ever heard of a tarp…
