Tree 1, Wall 0

By Sniffles

You might not be able to make out everything on this sign, but from the letters in red you can tell that it was made by a Trumpster who wants to "Build The Wall." That is, if you're really good at reading upside-down.

How the sign ended up in this tree is a tale to tell. We'll refrain from publishing the details to protect the not-so-innocent — but obviously someone on this street didn't appreciate a right-wing neighborhood eyesore. Or the person was outraged that a wall could bulldoze historic churches and butterfly sanctuaries down in Texas, or furious that kids are being ripped from their parents for the heinous "crime" of seeking asylum in the US. Or all of the above.

It's amazing not just that Trumpsters hate people of color, but that they think a wall is going to solve anything. We all know that illegal immigration mostly takes place at ports of entry and via overstayed visas. So at this point, the wall is more ephemeral than it ever was: It started out as a rallying cry to stir up working-class whites at Trump rallies, but now personifies the most egregious gullibility of American voters who just can't bring themselves to admit they were wrong.

If our schedule allowed (we have a lot of playing, napping and grooming to do), we'd fly down to El Paso and join Beto O'Rourke at tomorrow's counter-rally to Trump. But we urge any humans who can to get down there now. The truth deserves to be marched for. We cats PURR.
