Stupid is as stupid does.
would be fuckin hilarious if they painted the US side and completely forgot about the Mexican side.
then when they go to paint the Mexican side, Mexico says, “no, that’s our side”
They’re probably painting the US side black to stop americans from leaving.
lmao
like Americans could climb anything other than a cholesterol chart.
In this bizarro back assword timeline we’re living in, it’s not only “hilarious”, but also quite plausible. Paint and labor paid by yours truly, via taxes
This is the same border wall they’ve been pulling down with Toyotas?
I think it’s the one they can slip straight through.
Ya and there are many gaps. Or angle grinders can cut the lower part of the poles no problem.
maybe I’m thick… but how does black paint prevent someone from climbing a fence?
You see. As it is right now, the mexicans can’t see the fence, and so they stumble around and accidentally find themselves on the american side. If it’s black they’ll much easier identify the american border, and thus avoid crossing into that shithole of a country.
It all makes sense now.
The same way a fence prevents someone from flying in on a currently not-yet-expired visa. The whole announcement is an exercise of putting lipstick on a pig.
Only thing I can think of is the black paint would absorb more solar radiation and make it hotter. But the sun isn’t out at night which is when many people make that crossing, so I’m not sure they’ve really thought it through.
Thoughts are long gone by the time their ideas reach their mouths
So there is a market for white spray paint South of the border? Got my new side hustle!
And how does that stop a ladder?
And Noem said Homeland Security was going to be trying black paint to make the metal hotter.
'K… ish… I mean, I get the physics, but, doesn’t this mutican know the concept of nighttime?
Or… gloves? I mean climbers use gloves sometimes I’m pretty sure…
Rock climbers don’t, they need skin contact for good grip. Crack climbers do, but they’re the opposite of what you’d expect, they only protect the back of the hands.
Ice climbers wear gloves because it’s usually too cold for bare hands.
Or gantes even.
Oughta be illegal to be that stupid
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have a 34x felon and convicted rapist, very very possible child molester in the Whitehouse.
No shit Sherlock. Still oughta
Right… Because black paint is going to stop them how exactly? “It absorbs the heat, so they will get burns when touching the fence”.
Ever heard of night?
We all know that border crossings happen in broad daylight on the least cloudy days. I mean, come on, people SLEEP at night!
Crossing the border is a 9 to 5 day job, everyone knows that
Yes, but at the same time. A reduction of attempts during the day means you can have a concentration of manpower at night. And with the forcing day jumpers to wear gloves and long sleeves and pants. They are more likely to subcome to heat exhaustion. Because once over the other side they won’t really have time to stop and strip off the extra layers when running from border patrol.
Hell it can probably make thermal cameras more effective to having g a cooler body with the back drop of hot as hell steel.
Or gloves
All 65 miles of it?
One of his buddies sells paint. Grifted.
Of course nobody in Mexico has ever heard of a tarp…
Shit, I didn’t realize that angle grinders were so sensitive to black paint.
Where those Epstein files at??
Coneheads movie was ahead of it’s time: https://youtu.be/yGNSxME5Z_s&t=14:40
If you own that movie already and connect your account to movies anywhere so YouTube will give it to you for free your link will not take you to the timestamp. It will just take you to the beginning of the actual movie, just letting you know.
Wut?
