Once again, The Daily Show has struck comedy gold. 

Meet Bricky, a border wall mascot that the show sent to El Paso to talk to fans of President Trump ahead of his Monday night rally in El Paso, Texas. (That’s the one where a Trump backer attacked a BBC cameraman.)

The Trump fans didn’t disappoint — exposing a lack of humanity and a deep ignorance while parroting Trump’s talking points. From pointing out the flaws in plans to make Mexico pay for the border wall to fear-mongering stories about ISIS fighters being part of the caravan, Bricky let the pro-wall folks do the hard work for him.  Read more…

Border Wall Donald Trump Immigration Michelle Lujan Grisham State Of The Union 2019

New Mexico’s governor literally runs through walls in response to Trump’s border wall

For all of the various responses to Tuesday night’s State of the Union address by President Trump — including responses from Stacey Abrams, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sen. Kamala Harris  — perhaps the greatest was delivered by New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Immediately after Trump’s speech concluded on Tuesday night, Grisham tweeted the following  video, which showed her taking Trump to task over his immigration stance and love of border walls by literally running through walls.

Amazing. And big props to Gov. Grisham for doing her own stunts.

The video appears to be a campaign commercial from her recent 2018 gubernatorial election. But Gov. Grisham did more on Tuesday to make her point than just pull a Kool-Aid man in a Twitter video.  Read more…

There’s now a hilarious GoFundMe to build escalators over Trump’s border wall

One sharp-minded denizen of the world wide web has stepped up to meet the furor over the GoFundMe campaign to fund President Trump’s long-sought border wall with one of his own: funding an escalator that scales that wall.

It’s a brilliant bit of trolling from Boston-based freelance journalist Luke O’Neil whose newsletter, “Hell World,” dives into the intersection of cruelty and stupidity. It perfectly encapsulates something like a GoFundMe campaign to build a border wall for a president who promised Mexico — not taxpayers — would pay for it.

The internet roasts Trump for saying the wall will be made of ‘artistically designed steel slats’

As of lunchtime Thursday, Capitol Hill was still in chaos over an impending government shutdown unless Trump abandons his demand for border wall funding. Meanwhile, Twitter users were still having fun with Trump’s declared logistics of the proposed wall. 

On Tuesday night, as all of this debate was really heating up, Trump dropped this pair of tweets over his demands for the wall and what, exactly, he envisioned it would look like.

The Democrats, are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a Concrete Wall – but we are not building a Concrete Wall, we are building artistically designed steel slats, so that you can easily see through it….
