I can't wait for winter when crossovers thank us for painting the wall black. Keeps it from getting cold and frosty. So hard to climb then.

Hahahhaha

They may be planning to keep Americans from defecting to Mexico.

We all know they do this crazy wasteful shit for show & that they’ll just lie and say they painted both sides.

Between this and the detention center in Florida, I believe Trump is looking for a way to backdoor fund his $200 million dollar ballroom. Like even his base thinks it is too much, so every one who gets a contract kickbacks a small amount or in the case of Gardaworld a lot.

Is the wall on the border or AT the border?

There is also this thing called "Night" that happens every single day. Darkness is great for sneaking over the border, and even black paint is cool at night. So...

Tunnels under the wall, catapults throwing items over the wall. Or places where there is no wall because it's far too remote and rugged to even get to. Or more recently, drones. There's so many ways to defeat a wall, it's funny that MAGAs think the wall will solve anything. It's max stupidity.

I don’t see how Mexico could prevent it. The wall is on US soil. That said, it’s a stupid idea. Making the wall hotter won’t accomplish anything, given that the simple countermeasures are wearing gloves or scaling it at night.

Yeah they didn’t realize we all knew they were painting the US side because it ALL JUST A SHOW

Where's DOGE when there's an actual need for them?

In this case you'd be looking for the GAO (the department ACTUALLY built for the whole waste/fraud/abuse bit as opposed to the bullshit artists who were there to backdoor all the US gov computer systems) and they've been pretty much destroyed.

How is this so when the wall is about 50’ from the boarder and is on US soil?

Mexico’s President is a true leader who truly loves her country and wants the best for her fellow citizens. Sure wish we could capture some of that vibe here in the ol’ USA.

A five dollar pair of work gloves, and black paint will not matter!

Painting it won't matter. The guys on the south side all have hacksaws...

They're afraid the USians are going to start trying to get out.

Bwahaha. What Mexican would be crazy enough to struggle to get back into shit shithole country? We deserve the coming rot.

It's never about actual policy, it's another grift to fatten the wallets of #felon47 cronies.

If only we could climb up and go over... But no, no climb. No over. Only around. And wall long. Too long to get around wall. Wall is impinetreb... impenetrib... impennetreb... impeneterrb... Wall is perfect.

I can't believe this administration is paying people to be out there with brushes and rollers painting that monstrosity of a wall black. I mean, it's not like you could buy a pair of work gloves in Mexico. And I'm pretty sure hardware stores in Mexico don't have ladders. Trump is such a moron.

Unless it is to keep someone in. They used to have a wall in Germany for that!

i lived by it in the 70's and 80's

((((Patsy))))

It’s all about funneling money to some “friendly” contractor anyway. Billion dollars to someone who will probably use tempera paint

Omg, wonderful!!!

The wall isn’t on Mexico’s land. Still a beyond-stupid idea. The last black paint peeled. Plus, night.

Maybe they don’t want us trying to flee or Mexico? That looks better every day.

Face it, painting only the side the rednecks can see accomplishes pretty much all of their goals for the project anyway.

The wall isn’t *exactly* on the border. It’s on US land, though not by much. IDK how easy it would be to paint the MX-lacing side while staying on the narrow strip of US territory.

And the US side is on the North side, away from the sun. Good use of taxpayer money?! Um, NO!

It was stupid to build it so close to the actual border that both sides couldn't be maintained without Mexico's permission. But, it is a monument to stupidity just for existing. One giant pander to the ignorant MAGAt base.

Ahh...and it was such a good plan.

How hot is wall at night time?

😂

Ahhhh Duuuhhh Wha? Huh?

Lol Mexico should paint their side rainbow colors

Gonna be hard to see brown guys dressed in black coming over those black walls at night when it's nice and cool.

Most brilliant

I love the Mexican side of the wall. It’s much better than the black side like K noems heart. VIVA 🇲🇽 MÉXICO…..

So, only refugees fleeing the US will be stopped by a wall painted black?

That may be the purpose.

It's all the theatre of distraction.

No cost too much in the quest for total stupidity

You put up a fence, it’s gotta be “pretty side” towards the neighbor. There’s rules man.

The Trump administration... a bunch of fuckwits.

Either that, or the real reason was to keep all Americans prisoner within the walls.

Mexico should spray their side with silicon. Let's see how much overspray makes their side just run off. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

This wall is in many ways a metaphor for this administration: costly, poorly thought out, and evil intentions. Yep, that about sums it up.

Viva!!

Duh!

It’s obvious they ignore science. Black will make wall hotter.

Now that is funny

Is the "wall" on Mexican land? I bet everyone but Trump knows this is stupid and a waste of money, but they are all too afraid to tell him, so they pretend this is a good idea.

I say if they cross into Mexico to try and paint the wall anyway, they need to be detained and deported to Uganda or south Sudan

The wall was ineffectual anyway. What a waste of OUR money.

But, but, but he said MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL!!!! SMDH... Just like the foreign countries pay the tariffs, right... *rolleyes*

So much waste. So much stupid.

America might send a team on to paint the south side with reacharound roller brushes. I'd be ready to snatch those out of their hands as soon as they sneak through.

"We're gonna paint this fence, and Mexico will do it" - Dingleberry Trump

Buying gloves only costs a few dollars. Is it even possible for this administration to keep going down the stupidity spiral?

Te amo Mexico

get a grip, girl, the entire wall is on OUR side. Plus, Mexico has said exactly NOTHING about interfering with the idiocy that Border Barbie is leading. Kristi gnome can paid the north side, the south side, the cracks between for all Mexico cares. It's stupid, revolting, expensive, & wasteful.

Original color in the direct desert heat already hot; causes 2nd burns degree burns in 3 secs, 3rd degree burns in 5 secs Rust (reddish-brown), Moderate to high, ~130–140°F Black, Very high, ~150–170°F DHS wasted government money painting the US southern border wall Stephen Miller stupidity

Isn't the wall fully on the US side of the boarder? If half was on Mexico's side they could have stopped this nonsense in its tracks.

Will Mexico want their 1910 borders back?

The 1821’s

leave it to the Repugs to fuss about a spot on the carpet while the house is burning down.

Weren't they just cutting thru it anyway? Was anyone actually climbing it?

pretty sure they sell battery-operated Sawzalls in Mexico. get an extra battery and a metal -cutting blade. if you travel light, use gloves to cross over at night.

I didn't think of that, but you're right!! 💯

Black is SO incredibly powerful, it only needs to be on one side to be completely badass. Many ouchies on both sides.

If Mexicans aren't allowed on our soil, why would we be allowed on their soil?

Creepy thing of nightmares

This is the reason I encouraged that Alina Hubba-Hubba be allowed to remain in her post because she's SO fucking inept! She'd be ineffectual. They're ALL so fucking stupid!!

We’re also reaching a point where people will be able to use drones to lift people over. There are already tunnels under the wall that have been built by cartels. It makes so much more sense to create a regulated process for people to pass through legally and go back and forth.

Putting military hardware on the border just makes business opportunities for ruthless people.

AAAAAAND, this is pretty much their MO... Use fear of immigrants to stir up support, take a cut from the human traffickers (and also from the contractors you hired on a no-bid tender at three times market rate to build the damn thing in the first place)

That is the only thing that sustains me. Knowing that they are the worst Scooby-Doo villains ever and destined to fail

Shit, now US Taxpayer money won't be squandered and wasted on this! Oh well they'll find other nincompoop ideas on which to WASTE OUR money!

🤷‍♀️

Sadly, the “wall” is on our side of the border, technically, allowing us a few meters to miles for the painting teams to come in and do the work… on taxpayer dollars. AND P2025 will find new and exciting ways to waste our money moving forward.

Didn't see the "Casey." Used him for the cluelessness.

Maybe they have a plan to keep Americans from escaping to Mexico 😆

Why don't the migrants just climb the wall a few hours after sunset? The cover of darkness would be a plus🤔

They will….

Yeah the plan is to keep us in, nobody is coming here anymore

The entirety of the border wall between US and Mexico sits on US soil. Mexico has zero authority over whether or not both sides get painted whatever color the morons want to paint it. There’s a thing called “night” that makes paint color irrelevant - just as gloves, ladders, and metal saws do.

' Logical' does a LOT of heavy lifting here.

At least it will keep amerikans out of Mexico

Shocking, I tell you!!!

Gotta ❤️ it

They're painting the north side black. The side the sun won't shine on here in the northern hemisphere.

Gubment is using watered down Apple Barrel brand from Walmart and sneaking millions into some buddy's pockets.

There was a post earlier today, with $42 worth of milk crates creating a stairway to the top of the wall. Walls === stupid.

The history of warfare shows that walls can be breached. Modern mechanisms make it much easier.

So they painted the American side 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bet Kristie’s eyelashes are beating fast and furiously over this.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And I’m not sure US govt is aware of the Ove Glove! Been around for decades 😁. Their stupidity is astounding.

Viva Mexico!!!

Mexico ought to paint the wall red white and blue so it can be seen from afar.

So, if the idiots paint only the North side of the wall black, it will RADIATE heat on the NORTH side more efficiently than on the south side.This will COOL the south side. If they want to make the south side of the wall hotter, they need to paint the north side white to minimise heat loss there. 🤔

Good thing refugees don't run in the dark or own gloves

Trump administration keeps pushing mexican woman president to allow them to introduce USA’s military in mexican land to “fight narcos”,to which the lady said “no”, 1845 is not forgotten by Mexico yet, when it was lost 60% of the territory, so right now Mexico is with the nails out to any little sign

that is funny. I must say it never occurred to me that they couldn't get to the other side to paint.
