The wind blew over Trump’s “wall”

[rightwinger]

I have breached walls. As a fixed fortification, any of them can be breached or avoided. This one was destroyed by a 37 mile per hour breeze after it was re-enforced. My house doesn't even lose shingles in a 37 mile per hour breeze. At least, nobody was hurt.

We're going to have a wall, we're going to have safety: Trump

You house would lose a lot more then a shingle or two if it was constructed on concrete that was not cured.

Probably why you cannot get Lowes to put up a 6 foot privacy fences with wind warnings out around here, of course that is not high dollar government contracts.

The reason they won't put up anything in high wind warnings is simply that materials like wood metal or others tend to be unmanageable and actually can hurt someone if a gust of wind moves them unexpectedly. Has nothing to due with concrete curing. Simple matter of they don't want someone hurt. Liability and perhaps a bit of caring about the people who work for them.

Dude! It ain't rocket science. The contractor was a dumb ass. Materials, as you said are hard to manage, wind load pushes newly set sections over makes them lean before concrete in bottom of post holes can set. It's kind of basic to the task. I know that fence contractors will not set privacy fence in a 30 -37 mph around here, because it does not work. It guarantees they will have to go back out and redo the job or not get paid by Lowes. Small fence contractor are smarter than that, The contractor doing the border fence is apparently unfamiliar with wind load, probably just glad to get a government contract, more afraid of falling behind than doing a good job. I'm glad the administration hires "only the best people."

Dude have you ever worked any type of construction?
Wind can come up at a moments notice. Worked on many projects. Have seen engineers tell companies things that have no bearing in real life. So an engineer could have claimed it was fine. No way to tell from the article since it is very short on any facts.
If you really think that Trump was personally responsible for hiring that contractor you need a serious mental evaluation. But it is fun to pretend that any failure is his fault right?

Trump personally approved the design.

It's not stupid to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Why would you think it is?

Because it doesn’t fucking work. A) There is already a network of tunnels B) People just fucking climb over it C) A lot of the land is on private land so the court battle over such a thing would go on forever D) 25% of undocumented Mexicans living here came here legally initially but have overstayed their visas. E) The cost of maintaining the wall would go until the end of time.

So whoever said the border will stop everybody? I don't know anybody who made that claim. What the wall will do is drastically reduce the number of people who try to get in crossing the border.

It is stupid to build walls to protect us from people who make our beds and mow our lawns

And there you see the real problem. The left can't get by without their slaves. Unfortunately the U.S. took away their first nonpaid slaves, now they have to put up with paying as little as they can.

They are not slaves
They work hard to provide for their families

Most of them are not murderers, rapists and drug dealers like our President claims

a wall, a big beautiful wall - 2000 miles long, 20 - 30 feet high ....... THAT MEXICO IS PAYING FOR




SUCKERS

huh?

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Lol I love it. I wouldn’t have expected the wind to blow it over, but I know it’s a useless idea so let this be a symbolic sign of the stupidity of the policy.

Good thing we have a POTUS who holds people accountable huh?

Very good you got something right for once. Shows that even you can get something right.
What that has to do with the hireing of a contractor no one knows. Probably not even you.

You and your lies. The President never made that claim. Turn off CNN and turn on some real news like FOX, so you can learn the truth.

There are quite a few murderers, rapists and illegals driving around drunk and killing Americans. One American life lost should be enough for people to revolt and demand a stop to all immigration.

If only it had squashed some illegal migrants in the process, that would have been a positive thing.

The U.S. stopped the left from having slaves in the traditional sense. Now they underpaid wage slaves. They mow your lawns, clean your houses for the least amount that you are willing to pay and try to feed and clothe their families.

When my house was built I wouldn’t let them back fill the basement until the first floor was framed
They said no one before had requested this

And in the process, taking jobs away from Americans that could do them.

It's symbolic only of your desperation and ignorance of how things get built

Look carefully its the last section of the wall they were still putting up. The trench was not completely filled in, the concrete was still wet, ... you can see they had some bracing still down at the bottom. It was a construction set back that will be fixed. Once it is in place and the concrete dries it will be incredibly strong.My question is, how desperate is CNN to come up with a negative story on Trump, that they report on such a Non- story? Its a sorry excuse for news reporting

Outta the park, Yarddog!

\The gods you worship refused to fund the wall.

We need the great wall of China and sharpshooters 24/7/365.25. Back in the 50s, they just shot one or two a year. That's all it took. Now, thanks to the Damn Democrat Nancy Pelosi and her creep squad of recruiters, when there's a crisis they call up people all over Mexico and tell them to encourage people to flood the border.

In order to become eligible to become a United States citizen, you have to put your name on the list and wait your turn like millions of others who want to become citizens. It helps if you can show you will make it your life's ambition to hire hundreds of people with your original idea. That will put you on top of the list.

This bullshit of making life a horror story to the border patrol just shows you that the Democrats can't find their asses with a search warning, so start making sure your area requires authentic photo ids to vote.

States caught with allowing more than 50 alien votes per 100,000 population should have their presidential and congress votes cancelled. We don't care what they do in their own states, but there's too many noncitizens voting in California and other sanctuary states. They aren't even cleaning up after homeless people who can't afford it in a state that overcharges people for everything so they can feed the political gluttons of the state.

Was it smart to build one between East and West Berlin?

Worked a lot of jobsites, while in outside sales for a wholesaler. Actually took a job after retirement as a department specialist for Lowes. Sold installed fencing among other things installed exterior and interior. If it is windy, the fencing contractor rescheduled and you called the customer. They would not start a job if the ground was soaked either. Picture I saw of the fence in question looked like 16 - 20 foot with the bottom, steel tubing, top 5 feet or so solid, taking complete wind load only at elevation furthest from the ground. Contractor Error. I don't actually think Trump personally awarded the contract, and frankly do not care. Contractor was a dumb ass. If you live in So Cal, maybe you can hire him for your fencing job, after he finishes the nice government contract. Good luck.

Trump designed his wall against Mexicans, not winds

So what's that supposed to mean? The wall was not blown down after it's completion, in was blown down before.
