The Donald said he was going to do it and now he is.
The Great Wall of the Rio Grande, the Trump Wall will stretch almost 2,000 miles (3,100kms) from the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, putting a gleam in the eye of graffiti artists everywhere. Banksy is said to be drooling in anticipation.
The estimated cost of this stunning feat of architecture is anywhere between $10 and $20 billion depending on who you listen to. Construction time is also a bit of a back-of-the-envelope exercise but by the time an exhausted bricklayer slaps the last bit of mortar on it, it is probable Donald Trump will be around 90 years of age.
In centuries to come anthropologists will marvel at it and wonder what far-sighted genius brought it into existence. Maybe even an old shyster like Erich Von Daniken will propose some unlikely theory that the Trump Wall was built by God who arrived by spaceship with the blueprint and a couple of trillion tons of prefabricated concrete.

John, i thought that until 8 November 2016 the blame was supposed to go to George w Bush, and from about the 9th November it was Donald Trump’s turn.

This is for you Comrade Oliver https://goo.gl/LMnAFD
Family reasons normally means either, pushed, caught or Police…….
Is that why Mike Baird moved on so abruptly. Shaazaam. razor
I’d say so………you idiot. Do you think otherwise?
I’m just wondering what he’s done………..?
Yes what skeleton is Mike Baird hiding by using “family reason” for stepping out????
You are a despicable f wit. You know too well Mike Baird has been dealing with his parents in terminal ill health, and his sister who he is very close to whose breat cancer has returned after years in remission. He made a big call to quit at the age of 48.
Whenever you show signs of growing up, I hope you get some tuition on being a decent human being you grub.
Well said Lou. Baird is a decent man ……
Perhaps you should talk to razor see his comment above. Do you know anything about Oliver’s situation?? FWIT. You are an angry old fool. You are becoming obsessed like Avon because you don’t like it when other people show you to be irrelevant.
Hope everyone here realises I was referring to Oliver in my comment and not Baird!! I don’t want to be associated in any way with the awful remarks about Baird.
You used a broad brush as razor does to attack and demean anyone who leaves of their choosing. you have done it to several people because they are not from your side. You again prove you are an appalling creature.
Awesome, More Twist! Love it
More Twist? You sound like you might be fat old Mr Bumble.
Who is More Twist – not you in disguise perhaps JB?
Dismayed 10 :53am.
Lets see you apologise to Yvonne using terms like that.
Naughty boy Dismayed! Smack on the bum needed mate! Write out 100 times I must not be spiteful at Yvonne again .
No.
Almost.
Ah Rodent – if wishes were horses, beggars would ride! But thankyou!
RE: Previous.
For pedants such as I that should read ‘…you are…” !!

Dismayed,
I must offer you a heartfelt apology!!
I had failed to understand that your encyclopedic viteraputive elegy was in accord with Our Host’s primary classification of this topic (see header) – ‘ Humour’ – thus I and perhaps others, being targets of your perpetual personal abuse; failed to acknowledge your are a ‘Joke’!!
You are a fraud. I don’t start but I do respond in kind. Whenever I respond I kind you cons scream victims for status. If you don’t want to be treated a certain way don’t start. Move along fraud.
plmo – certainly not, plmo. Dismayed’s raison d’etre as a joke has long been established, and nurtured, in these parts. Furthermore, this idiotic, giant Dismayed has long outgrown his village apprenticeship and is more than capable of servicing those old haunts and taking on a few of the more populous regional towns. He’s been groomed for bigger stuff; just watch this space.
And I would be remiss in not adding how grateful I am to you in eliciting this sublime response from our supremely despairing jester:

“No I cant be bothered…”!
If this wasn’t radio, an image of the Dismayed one covering his ears and holding his breath till blue in the face would be the finishing touch. Or in the sophisticated cricket parlance: bat, ball, home!
Go further up the page you will see I have shown that trump is undoing most items on plmo’s long long list. How interesting, you admitted yesterday you had taken your “bat and ball” and left and now you are trying to push that onto others. Get someone to explain things to you. You short self imposed break ( sooking as you yourself admitted) has not helped your ability to comprehend, well anything. Just as well there are other sheep here for your follow. You would be lost and scared without the flock.
”viteraputive” – what a marvellous word , plmo- rolls off the tongue so eloquently. Must admit, that I had to look it up – despite my private school education,!
Ooops it’s actually ”vituperative” – but we get the gist……..
Avon are you still trying to convince people your have “breeding” and some sort of intelligence? Try harder.
Here you go this the disgusting behaviour trump incites and his supporter think is acceptable. shame on you all.

Do you get discounts for posting in bulk?
No still have to put the coins in the slot. Just like to help the cons here see there is a world outside of NewsCorp.
Mercifully the all embracing Trudeau has made sure that rot stops at the border.
You seem a little over excited, Dismayed. Just because a few people are walking the streets with placards, and the media are happy they have something to write about, the sky is not falling. Be sure the silent mass of people whose votes were Tr(i)umphant are going off like crackling on a pig; grateful that someone maybe walking the talk, for a change.
ps. i’m surprised how much weight you put in US hegemonic influence. Perhaps you should be demanding that Russia, China, Saudi Arabia etc take in refugees from the countries you seem most concerned about. The US is one of the most culturally diverse in the world, hence its success, yet the small minded, safe in numbers and groupthink find them an easy target. Grow up! And for God’s sake get out from under that bed!
Oh my. I think you are writing to yourself.

The US dictator is now running off anyone who does not cower to his dictatorial ways. I have no doubt within a short period of time the dictator will be taking out by supposedly “Islamic” terrorists. then the real architects of the recent madness will be revealed. Either way the US is in trouble. Opportunities abound for Nations looking to fill the leadership chasm trump is creating along with militants looking to grind an axe.
POTUS Trump like a breath of fresh air Dismayed imho. Gone are the days of career pollies promising us the world at election time then when in office doing just the opposite. POTUS Trump, just 11 days into his possible 8 year reign, is showing the world how this new “politic” works and its so simple, you do what you promised! Go hard Donald I say, we need a Trump here in Australia instead of the person whose name escapes me who is our “current” PM!
So deliberately creating division is good? Racism, bigotry, Dictatorial decrees subverting democracy are acceptable to you? Inciting terrorist’s is clever you claim? People like you are part of the problem. He is a Dictator and will be taken out like a Dictator. You are simpleton.
No Henry. Trump thinks the sun shines out of his fat arse and may even believe he will do some of what he promised to do, without thinking it through. After a bit of grandstanding for the mugs Trump will knuckle down to screwing the ordinary people and widening the gap between the others and his filthy rich backers. All the while eroding what freedoms ordinary people have left.
This is a neo-con con job, with Pence waiting to take over if Trump doesn’t pay the piper.
What’s your hobby Henry? Buying overpriced glitzy sh*t from the TV shopping channels?
I would like to believe this addle headed adulation by the simpletons for this charlatan is incredible, but in the light of the ridiculous frauds they have internalised already there is nothing surprising happening here.
Honest Injun, spit to death, swear on Grandmas grave the flag the bible and apple pie we wont kick you in the guts this time.
” Gentlemen, let us raise our glasses and give three cheers for the habitual idiocy of lesser men. ”
Most mothers do have ’em.
I have been saying for years since Wallace as coach I think it was, employed flooding that the AFL would eventually change the rules into something like netball where only certain numbers of players are allowed in sections of the ground at a time. Next the 50m arc line will be removed with lines straight across the ground. Why cant they leave the game alone. The great followers or ruck rovers were a fantastic spectacle as third man up palming down to guys running past or smashing down field for someone to run onto. Not any more, now this. I am surprised it has taken this long. The advertiser’s and sponsors need more Ad’s so the need to “produce” more goals is re-shaping the game.
