I have a fun idea how to make Trump's wall a laughing stock before the election

[Quixote1818]

I was just watching a clip from Colbert where he jokes about Trump saying you can't climb the wall because of some anti climbing something or other but then Colbert jokes that Mexico has 30 foot ladders. https://www.facebook.com/colbertlateshow/videos/388438271845708/

The DNC or whoever could do a competition with teams seeing which teams can get over the walls / fences the fastest. They could have a variety of things at their disposal like ladders, ropes, shovels etc. It could be done with a lot of humor and they could flash price tags of how much was spent on the wall / fence from time to time. The final could have the two fastest teams up against one another.

I don't think the teams should have great athletes but regular folks.

Thoughts?

1. I saw a facebook post about

making the wall climbing a TV reality show.

3. New Nike commercial with whover won the gold last time pole vaulting over it! n/t

4. I would like to see a fast food breakfast joint

where you can order wall fried eggs.

5. Good idea. I'd be happy with hundreds of miles of trump graffiti.

6. how about a REALLY good trampoline?

Scaling the wall into the big, bad US of A could be FUN!!!

Maybe have some rainbow colored tinsel streamers attached.

Your successful breach of the toughest wall in history could be beautiful AND go viral. We could get Ellen to re-tweet it so it could become the most re-tweeted viral tweet in history.

The possibilities are awesome.

27. A trampoline is okay for the takeoff....

But what about the landing?

7. Other ideas

Using one pole:

Using dog:

Using 32 ft. ladder:

Using a sense of humor:

8. You mean kinda like this:

12. I thought it might slow people down by ten minutes. These guys are taking barely ten seconds.

That one guy got up 30 feet in 12.56 seconds!

I think there might be money to be made renting bucket lifts near the border.

9. What a great idea!

And don’t forget the entrepreneurial vendor guy who sells ladders and other climbing paraphernalia as well as customized t-shirts set up booth at the base of the wall.

[Quixote1818]

16. And sarcastic, condescending, funny commentators. nt

[lunatica]

20. I was going along with your idea

You asked for input didn’t you?

I wasn’t being sarcastic. Sorry if I offended you.

[Quixote1818]

25. No, I liked your suggestions and was just adding to them.

You got me thinking about this show and the crazy commentators. I see the wall show as something like Holey Moley:

[lunatica]

30. That's funny!

The carnival theme with barkers and clowns tumbling out of impossibly small cars.

Except it's awful close to that right now. And I do men awful!



You know it’s actually a great idea you have.

[mopinko]

10. i can dig it.

put it on a trailer, and drag it around to conventions and state fairs.

could be a great fundraiser.

11. Human Cannonball

13. A catapult !!

[caraher]

14. How about an airplane?

or a car or ship, the most common ways the people he wants to deport enter the country?

[tclambert]

15. You need one of these and a friend with one on the other side.

This one goes up about 50 feet, twenty more than you need. You can buy a used one for about $30K.

[SlogginThroughIt]

17. nah just a rope dangling from the one

nah just a rope dangling from the one. Boom reaches over and climb down the rope on the other side.

[tclambert]

22. You're right. Saved a lot of money right there.

[Karadeniz]

18. I think it's a great idea, especially if it's funny, like you said. Dictators can't tolerate being

A laughingstock. They rely on fear and humor sabotages fear.

[Quixote1818]

19. Exactly nt

[UniteFightBack]

21. It's a good thing that shovels are going to stop being produced. nt

[Captain Zero]

23. Put some

Grandpa's and Grandma's on the teams too.

[ellie]

24. I am looking forward

to the tagging that will inevitably appear on the wall.

[NCLefty]

26. Mmm, bad idea. GOP already says we're "letting illegals in."

I can't find a way this looks good on the news.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. yeah? how much GOP outrage have you seen over Ivanka's emails?

[Hortensis]

29. WE won't need to do a thing. Young people along the border will be.

From both nations. A 1000-mile, mean, insulting 30-foot spite fence would of course be an attractive nuisance for young people who live there, and also for migrants whose response to the challenge would be to spite it right back and for groups of protesters.

The only reason we are not already talking about people falling and being dreadfully injured, of course, is that they're currently walking around the tiny bits erected.

After all, this 30-foot fence is designed to make people fall, preferably by 10', but even that will result in injuries. If this thing is erected, national quarrels will be over what we owe to dreadfully injured, mostly young people from other nations, but also our own, who need months in hospital, physical therapy, sometimes permanent disability support, and where? We and Mexico will need agreements so that whoever is most available can provide immediate trauma response, regardless of which side a badly hurt person falls on.
