maybe I'm thick... but how does black paint prevent someone from climbing a fence?

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You see. As it is right now, the mexicans can't see the fence, and so they stumble around and accidentally find themselves on the american side. If it's black they'll much easier identify the american border, and thus avoid crossing into that shithole of a country.

Hilarious. Let’s waste more money. Can we try the Joker-method next? Just torch a big pile of cash and call it a day.

Of course nobody in Mexico has ever heard of a tarp...

I see a red wall and I want to paint it black...

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the same border wall they've been pulling down with Toyotas?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's the one they can slip straight through.

Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.

Why don’t they get MAGAts with bayonets to stand guard every 3 feet?

Oh look CBS news, the presidents personal boot licking journalists.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 1 week ago

Is that why my fake news and/or conspiracy/conservative blocklists block CBS News? I wasn’t sure but I just let it continue to be blocked.

Ladders too

Magas think that Mexicans hate black as much as they do

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

So there is a market for white spray paint South of the border? Got my new side hustle!
