    That’s not many considering the millions that wanted to leave East Germany.

    Looks like Emperor Constantine was an idiot too. He built “Walls” and we all know walls don’t work.

    Check this out

    Walls of Constantinople

    “Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger, saving the city, and the Byzantine Empire with it, during sieges from the Avar-Sasanian coalition, Arabs, Rus’, and Bulgars, among others. The advent of gunpowder siege cannons rendered the fortifications vulnerable, but cannon technology was not sufficiently advanced to capture the city on its own, and the walls could be repaired between reloading.”

    The question is did these walls work during the time these walls are maintained?

    When Roman collapsed, the great public works of Roman eventually fell into disrepair. The tragedy of the high quality of the Roman public works, such as the Roman aqueducts which could run for several miles above ground, was that the public works durable to the point the public works lasted for generations without repairs, just long enough for all living memory of how to repair the public works was lost. So, when the public works start to break due to lack of maintenance, there was no one to repair the damage.

    I know, I was trying to use sarcasm to point out the absurdity of trying to argue that “Walls don’t work.”

    Its like arguing that tires don’t work because you might get a flat tire when you are on the road. Then holding that up like some kind of proof. Taking a picture of a car on the side of the road with a flat tire and then saying “See tires don’t work.” Its idiotic, but I keep hearing this from MSM and libtards.

    Okay, its official. I have a live bet with my Trump hating blue pill friend.

    Is your friend bluepill on other reasons or you believe it just due to his hate of Trump (which is not in itself a blue pill thing)? now let’s see what kind of bet you got going.

    I win $5 if the Government is shut down until April 1st or later. If the government reopens anytime between now and March 31st, Im out $5.

    The bet sucks and the amount sucks as well as there is no faith in this bet. Regardless of outcome no real major loss occurs during this bet, we are not in 1960 or before anymore when this bet would have had value (in 1960 the loser would be out 40 bucks in today’s Money). I have at least tried to bet 2k on a Family members Conspiracy theories but he backed out and the only benefit that resulted from him not betting (for me) is i am not gonna have to file an IRS winnings report.

    You either fund his steel barrier or continue on with the Gov shutdown. That is the last word.

    So Mexico was supposed to pay for it? then the trade deal with Mexico was gonna pay for it? now the Taxpayers are gonna pay for it? if i was in the House or the Senate id be voting no on the wall and there is a way for the Government to start up without the fall getting funded if enough votes are reached (by then i believe even Republicans will want to end the shutdown as shutdowns hurt the Party which starts them).

    So there is either Trump loses the next election or he gets impeached either way he might go to Prison which one will you take?

    The $5 bet is for WHEN the GOV reopens. There could be mass rioting and civil unrest….doesnt matter.

    Not likely unless the Government shutdown goes on longer but if the statistics show the shutdown is unpopular aside from the diehard Magatards

    I blame Nancy ‘Skeletor’ Pelosi. That bitch needs to die.

    Which if a Liberal said about Trump you would call the FBI on them for. Also are you making a threat to a Government Official gravel pit? i am guessing that is your intention but you word it to make it not legally count as a threat this is like Politics 101 here.

    And onto the next guy (this is a quick one)

    Trump will beat them over the head during his State of the Union address

    The State of the Union is likely gonna be full of lies and bulls~~~ just like the rest of Trump’s speeches especially the Border wall speech which was on TV a week or 2 ago. The facts are is that Trump does not stand up to fact checking and is one of the most anti truth Presidents to be in the White house (of course his base does not give a s~~~ but the facts are not on his side).

    Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

    President Trump’s position is getting stronger.

    Trump will win 2020 in a landslide victory

    Hold the State of the Union in front of the wall at Pelosi’s house.

    s~~~ grin!

    Is your friend bluepill on other reasons

    my friend is actually pretty middle of the road. He knows about MGTOW (i brainwashed him) so he knows our ’cause’ is true but outwardly he is totally contradictory because he has to be. He maintains severe PC stances because of his profession and ethnic upbringing (he’s alittle racist towards whites, just a lil’ lol). IRREGARDLESS, HE IS MY BEST FRIEND. Sometimes, after a decade of friendship, poltical differences are no match for being best buds with someone.

    The bet sucks

    Its a gentlemen’s bet. You don’t bet big with your friends dude. That causes a rift.

    Mexico was supposed to pay for it…..

    There will be a wall. Get past that… you’re talking in circles like Liberals dude. There will be funding for that “Wall/Barrier” OR the Gov will remain shutdown. Do you not understand this simple fact????? Just saying, how do people not understand that?

    but if the statistics show the shutdown is unpopular aside from the diehard Magatards

    “statistics” LMAO…. you mean like the polls that said Trump couldn’t win in Oct of 2016 BEWHHAHWHAHHWHAHH!!!!

    Also, “Magatards” ?… you seem to regularly forget where you are dude. It seems you haven’t learned a god damn thing from being here for 3 years. Where’s Roadmaster? You want to bash Carnage and say he hates us? Take one day to review the Yam guy’s contributions here. He is an 18 year old WHITE HATING sociopath. Never have I seen a person who doesnt belong here more than Yam, and that says alot considering John Doe exists.

    Not point in responding to the rest of your s~~~christ remarks. God damn I wish I was a Moderator, Id f~~~ing ban your racist ass in a heartbeat. Yer lucky you got in here under the wire years ago. Many more deserving people actually want in here, and deserve to be here more than you.

    He maintains severe PC stances

    And those are what? if you mean how he does not think White People are the greatest, does not hate Immigrants (whether legal or illegal) or is against naughty Language, meaning he would call you out for using the word Wetback, N~~~~~ or substitutions for those words which imply the same things but in a less colorful manner then those are not the biggest deals while still being considered PC.

    Sometimes, after a decade of friendship, poltical differences are no match for being best buds with someone.

    The only quote i can agree on but not something one could use to avoid calling out bulls~~~.

    Its a gentlemen’s bet. You don’t bet big with your friends dude. That causes a rift.

    I am not stating you have to lose your life fortune but even some risky bets are still good. This is not about intentionally causing a rift despite a higher bet because you are supposed to be the normal Person who is fine with friendly bets (even if losing means you lose a 100 dollars). The normal way to respond to losing a bet is to hand off the money to the winner without hard feeling or grudges and it appears you would be the one to whine like a SJW if you lost a far better bet.

    There will be a wall.

    By Donald Trump? likely no at this point especially as more People begin to turn on Trump for the useless shutdown alongside his bulls~~~ policies. This means even a Centrist Democrat is likely to beat Trump in 2020 and that is not even counting the Social Democrats who would really beat Trump.

    There will be funding for that “Wall/Barrier” OR the Gov will remain shutdown.

    He can’t keep this up forever even if he could it till 2020 (something i don’t believe he can as they will likely force the Government to reopen despite Trump) then he gets voted out of office in a landline victory for Democrats and then on the first day the Democrats reopen the Government. So Trump will help the left wing in 2020 by continuing this shutdown and i have to thank him for it.

    you mean like the polls that said Trump couldn’t win in Oct of 2016

    Come on guys let’s f~~~ Statistics and data because People said Trump could not win despite some Social Democrats stating he had a chance to win. Let’s ignore up to date Statistics because MSM overplayed Hillary’s chance of victory and the amount she would have won by if she did (which would have been a couple of electoral votes).

    you seem to regularly forget where you are dude

    A Mgtow site where Men have differing views on Politics and other issues because they are Mgtow (meaning they have their own views). This means that some Mgtows will be Conservatives, others Libertarians, a couple Liberals, others Apathetic and more as that is how it works (just like with Race and how Mgtows can be of different races then just White or Black).

    God damn I wish I was a Moderator, Id f~~~ing ban your racist ass in a heartbeat

    What are you? a Social Justice Warrior? how the f~~~ is the so called SJW Feminist (meaning me) is less of one then the die-hard Conservative is? i would not ban you for stating Racist bulls~~~ you jackass.

    Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.
