The only thing amazing about it was that it wasn't obvious to anyone else.

Today I remembered the 2000 election, just all of it. I'd never really thought about how it mirrored 2016 with no one really caring that much about Gore but the media had declared him the heir apparent and that was that even though Bradley had good energy and appeal during the early primaries.

It should've been obvious, since at that time he was already polling better than some other major candidates, but the media just couldn't accept that someone who seemed to be out of the mainstream would have a chance. He might've well have said that Walt Disney would come back to life and win.

A lot of the media hated Gore. They hated Clinton and then hated Gore for not renouncing him. Look at the earth tones calumny.

The fact that Trump is almost certainly blind as a bat but won't wear glasses, so he occasionally gets stuck somewhere when he loses sight of aides, so he just wanders around until someone comes to get him, but much like his puddingbrain absolutely no one in the media will even hint that that he might not be the picture of health because in the 60s, a bunch of psychiatrists said Goldwater was loving nuts when he was demonstrably loving nuts.

conservapedia, which is still a thing

https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page

let's see what totally reasonable things they have to say about aoc:

quote:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born October 13, 1989[1]), often referred to by her initials AOC, is a far-left Democrat, Soros mercenary and outspoken advocate of the murderous ideology of Socialism. She is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus noted for her use of Marxist clichés and statements about "token blacks."[2] She has been condemned by the United States Holocaust Museum for mocking the deaths of Nazi holocaust victims.[3][4] An avowed racist, AOC says

“ the people that are producing climate change, that’s right, those people, the ones destroying the Earth, driving entire species to extinction, killing children, ever notice how all those people look alike? ... the people who are producing climate change, the folks that are responsible for the largest amount of emissions, or communities or corporation, they tend to be predominantly white.[5] ”
At 30 years old and the youngest female ever elected to Congress, she has built a national Twitter following using Godwin's Law. Ocasio-Cortez personifies the failures of the American publicly funded education system and is a serious embarrassment to any sensible person under the age of 30.[6] She is an outspoken advocate for open borders and the public dole for illegal aliens.[7]

AOC claimed the impeachment of Donald Trump was the only issue uniting Democrat 's in Congress, putting aside the differences between radical socialists and alleged moderates, and that's why uniformly they chose to do a kamikaze dive.[8]

A Catholic, she has been praised by America, The Jesuit Review.[9] As of March 7, 2019, Ocasio-Cortez has 3.4 million Twitter followers. Ocasio-Cortez had four ethics complaints filed against her in the first six weeks after taking office. The Gallup Poll gives her a net 10 point negative favorability rating which may be impossible to ever overcome. With the 2020 Census, New York is likely to lose one seat due to the outflow of population from an inhospitable tax environment; Ocasio-Cortez is on the chopping block of the Democratically controlled legislature.[10]

Re: Effective Border Wall Idea June 20, 2010

Honorable Governor,

The problem of a porous border that allows anyone to cross into the United States without any real resistance is obvious. I have seen the efforts to build a “fence.” What a waste of government money and time. A fence, ANY fence is only an obstacle for the one or two feet needed to get from one side to the other, by either going over, under, around or through the thin barrier. Regardless of what is built, it offers resistance ONLY at the point an illegal border crosser encounters the fence. Once across, their journey is again relatively effortless.

I watched a video where a man was talking about RETREATING 50 or 100 miles into America to escape the violence of the drug lords! If we are considering giving up a 100-mile wide strip of America, we can certainly dedicate a two or three mile strip of our border real estate to this idea!

I sent a letter to Sheriff Joe Arpaio some time ago, as well as a copy of this letter to Sheriff Arvin West of Texas, the New Mexico Sheriffs' and Police Association and the Sheriffs Association of Texas, illustrating my idea to use discarded tires to build a huge WALL along the border. This country has literally billions of discarded tires piled up around America, and we discard another 240 MILLION tires annually. These tire piles are always seen as a “problem.” I see them as not only a solution, but the BEST SOLUTION to the border problem!

I know that there are some problems inherent in the existence of a tire pile, but they are certainly no greater than the problems we are currently facing with countless deaths, kidnappings, drug smuggling, and everything else that is a REALITY given the pathetic excuse for a “fence” we now have and will never complete.

Imagine a wall of discarded tires along the border, two or three miles in width and 100 feet above ground level. Consider carefully the enclosed photos as you read further.



Before you summarily reject this concept, consider for a moment the FOLLOWING points.

* NO ONE can RUN across a tire pile. It is physically impossible! The tires will tip and roll, catch feet and collapse under the weight of any passersby. Anyone crossing something like this can easily be spotted and captured, using modified 4WD vehicles that use track systems similar to tanks or snow cats rather than conventional tires to drive over the pile as needed.

* The construction of a tire pile requires NO engineering, NO structural framework, and NO special equipment. Simply piling tires onto tires will eventually build a magnificent wall that is not one or two feet thick, but one or two MILES thick. Where the wall needs to be taller, simply add more tires.

* Tunneling can be eliminated if a trench is dug first, say … 50 feet deep. Fill the two-mile wide trench with tires, and then keep piling them up until the wall is sufficient to discourage even the most determined illegal border crosser.

* A wall of tires does not need to be maintained, painted, or repaired. There is no need for welders, painters, stone masons or carpenters. Even PRISONERS can loosely pile tires effectively! Vandalism to the wall by the illegals would not matter.

* Graffiti could be completely ignored, and would be little more than colorful spots along the wall of tires which would have NO flat surface for tagging.

* A wall that is impervious to damage and decay. If gunfire erupts, should the border patrol agents miss their target, the only thing they will hit … is a pile of TIRES.

* The pest “problem.” Tire piles retain rain water. They are normally seen as undesirable because they create breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Normally this would be a problem, but I see a two-mile wide tire wall infested with mosquitoes as a good deterrent to crossing over it, don’t you? Mosquito abatement can commence on the American side of the wall or by crop dusting the length of the wall if needed.

* Nature’s border guards. The wall could be populated with mice, rats and venomous snakes. The mice and rats would feed the snakes, and the illegals that still ignore our sovereignty and attempt unsuccessfully to cross over the wall will feed the snakes.

* FREE building materials! I am certain that if you call the governors of the other 49 states and tell them that you want all of their discarded tires, you will discover that they will be more than happy to gather up every tire pile within their state lines and transport them at their cost to our southern border, where you can arrange to distribute them as needed. They should not be stacked or neatly arranged. They should be randomly piled, as if dropped from the sky. This will make them far more difficult to cross on foot.



What about TIRE FIRES? Certainly, those wishing to cross our border illegally will try to wreak havoc by setting the tires on fire. That’s okay. A system can be devised using existing technology, so that these fires can be extinguished effectively wherever they are started. The foaming machines used at airports for fire resistance can be modified to belch out millions of cubic yards of an inert fire retardant where needed. Remember the volcano experiments from grammar school? Vinegar and baking soda create a very large quantity of liquid foam, very quickly. Machines capable of smothering large tire fires using a similar mixture of an environmentally friendly foam would work well.

We also have all of the water from the Colorado River that reaches the border! Now, I know there is some silly ‘treaty’ that demands a certain amount of water be allowed to flow beyond our southern border in Mexico for their farming and ranching needs, and I am all for allowing that to continue on one condition. If the Mexicans are going to set the tire wall on fire, well gosh … I guess ALL of that water will have to be diverted to the fire through a piping system built along the American side to fight the fire. We would send a very clear message to the Mexican citizens. If you want OUR water, stop igniting OUR tires! When their crops begin to die, and they are all suffering from dehydration due to the water source from the Colorado River being diverted to reservoirs along the American border for fire fighting purposes, they will begin to understand the value of allowing the tire wall to exist undisturbed. If they complain about the water being shut off, tell them to stop invading our country!

You may be laughing. I am not. The problem of the illegal Mexicans crossing onto American soil is monumental. It is destroying our schools, our neighborhoods, our hospitals and our workforce. All of the “feel good” talk and toothless measures coming from the federal government are worthless. It is abundantly clear that the federal government has NO interest in controlling our border.

Unless you can come up with a better plan, a way to build a wall that can be built by people with NO construction skills, using FREE materials that require NO maintenance, that offers a formidable barrier that would challenge even the toughest U.S. Marine, I suggest you start piling tires along the border A.S.A.P. and finally put a stop to the problem of illegal aliens in America.

Sincerely,
(ME!)
