Pretty sure you're like 12 pages late with that "joke".

EDIT: pagesnipe, 13 pages now.

By the way, if that site is indicative of your perspective, it speaks more about you than anything.

I have no idea what that site is. I just thought the situation was funny.

You mean you don't see the similarity between erecting a temporary 7-8' tall crowd control fence and a 30' 2000 mile long permanent border wall? Wow, you're not as bright as them thar Republicans.

I think it's hilarious. And ironic.

DNC organizers: "Um, there will be a bunch of undesirable people we need to keep at bay."

DNC leadership: "I've got it, let's build a wall! Walls are great!"

hahah.

The two don't have anything to do wit eachother.

One is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist using a solution that would be woefully ineffective at solving the problem even if that problem did exist.

The other is a fence used for crowd control on a temporary basis.

To me, what is even more curious than the fence outside the arena is the wall that they put up in front of the stage. Why bother building a stage with steps down to the convention floor and put up a wall blocking off the steps. It looks like the optics of the stage wall might not have been very positive because it looks like they changed the wall from a solid blue wall on day 1 to a clear plexi glass wall on day 2.

No no guys, you're not getting it. See the thing is Democrats think Trump building a border wall is stupid and then THEY PUT UP A WALL SOMEWHERE! I bet their houses even have walls. It's like literally the same thing! It's totes himarions and stupid libs are hypocrites now. Why don't you get it?

In other news, it's slightly unseasonably cold in my municipality, yet Democrats are still going on about "GloBULL Warming."

Mothers of the Movement tell very moving stories. Extremely classy. "Police officers and community work together."

It's understandable, the thread title is misleading, you've accidently wandered into the US Democrat fan club. Anyone who has any criticism is pounced on by the gang that hangs out here 24/7. Just say something bad about Republicans or insult religious people and they'll like you again.

Conservative white males complaining about being in the minority. Now that's irony!

Just kidding!
