(17,557 posts)wanted that wall torn down!!!
"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. ... Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom."

(64,371 posts)There is so much wrong with her statement that it gives me a headache listing them all.
But I'm especially disturbed that she's the product of an advanced ivy league education.
I guess the grandkids of WWII veterans didn't visit their grandparents enough, or even listen to their parents, to hear the pstories and understand how this happened, and how it was defeated.
This is what happens when complex foreign policy is boiled down to a meme.

(20,870 posts)She was Alan Colmes sister in law until his death a couple years ago which was always amazing because she was a mindless Fox News "contributor".
Trump tried to weasel her into the administration in 2017, no doubt because she's an attractive blonde, but she was outed as a plagiarist.

(13,747 posts)The people should get shouted down when ever they stick their heads up out of the sewers.
If it isn't, though, it should rank pretty high.
It might say more about the values of the republican regime than anything else.

(11,193 posts)Norwegians can magically pass right through it. But the Shithole Country detector makes the wall turn solid when people from shithole countries try to pass.

(1,859 posts)But she would probably call it fake news and I bet she thinks the Stasi were lovely people. Someone should find an area equivalent to the no man's land that existed on the other side of that wall and nail her butt right in the middle of it. Ignorant over privileged twit!

(26,014 posts)100% effective. People still found ways through it.
This woman needs to see the videos of Trevor Noah on how well Trump's border wall does (not) work.
One tells about drug dealers sawing through the wall and the idiotic response Trump gave.
The other tells about Mexicans stealing parts of the wall to use as protection around their houses from criminals. It's so hilarious that it brought me to tears.
Sorry I can' t find the links right now but feel free to post them if you do.

(53,194 posts)The East German Border Command started building the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961. They never really stopped building it; only on November 10, 1989, did the Border Command stop improving it. (The Wall opened the night before.)
During that period, over 5,000 people escaped from East Germany across it - and part of the fortification was lethal.
There is absolutely no fucking way the people of the United States will stand for machine guns, guard towers, man-eating dogs, land mines, fence sections connected to 440-volt power, or some of the other more entertaining border reinforcements the Berlin Wall had to be installed on the US border. Nor do we have the biggest advantage the East German Border Command had: they were trying to keep Germans in. Germans are an orderly people and the East Germans had most of the necessities of life. The people Trump is trying to keep out have nothing left to lose.
