Gnarly Trombone: A wall … in Colorado?
Greeley Tribune ^ | October 26, 2019 | Mike Peters |

Posted on 10/27/2019 2:52:13 AM PDT by real saxophonist

He’s confused me. Again.

Mr. President, that is. Oh, I know some of you like him, but he still confuses me.

Like this week, when he said, “We’re building a wall in Colorado. We’re building a beautiful wall. A big one that you can’t get over and you can’t get under.”

Now, I’m wondering WHERE in Colorado?

Maybe he’s thinking that New Mexico is part of old Mexico, so that’s where the wall will be built.

Representative Diana DeGette added to the President’s remarks “And New Mexico will pay for the wall.”

I know he came back later and said it was all a joke. Right. I wonder which staffer had to tell him that Colorado isn’t on the Mexican border.

Anyway, there are places in our state that he could build a wall.

He’d like to build a wall around Boulder, so he could keep all those Darn Liberals locked up.

Or, we could put it along the Nebraska border to keep those Big Red Football Fans away from us.

Maybe a big wall around the Broncos’ stadium, to keep other teams from coming in and beating the Broncs, week after week.

We could use a wall around the mountains in the summer, just to cut down on the traffic from other states. Coloradans would each get a key to the wall’s gate, so we could visit our mountains without getting in a 50-mile line of cars from Kansas.

We could build the wall around Greeley. We had a wall here about 150 years ago, to keep cattle from coming into town and eating the gardens. It was seven feet tall and 50 miles long. We could build a wall there again to keep out … something … I’m not sure what.

Anyway, that new wall would only cost us about $30 skillion.

Maybe if Greeley builds the wall, Evans will pay for it.

Anyway, Mr. Pres, there are a few ideas where you can build the wall in our state.

Or, maybe there’s someplace else you can build it, besides on the Mexican border or in Colorado.

You could build the wall around the White House! Just to keep the White House folks inside, and they couldn’t get out to travel around the country saying dumb stuff.

That would be much more soothing for all of us.

— The name Gnarly Trombone was taken from an 1871 Cincinnati newspaper that misread Horace Greeley’s handwritten name of the Greeley Tribune. Mike Peters is a retired Tribune staff writer. He may be emailed at mpeters26@comcast.net.

I’m surprised that Trump has the energy to keep going like he does. Actually I’m impressed. The guy’s not human. So he makes a little mistake. Could any of these numbnuts keep up with him? No way. Remember Obama and the Navy corpse man comment? Oh he was so smart. Spit.

The article is lame and should not have been posted. It was written by and appears directed at High School aged kids.

Did you not see my comment?

It's rare that I have to explain one of my posts.

That dummy Drumpf said there were more than 57 states.

That dummy Drumpf couldn’t remember what year it was when he signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey.

That dummy Drumpf talked about the Austrian Language.

That dummy Drumpf promised that health insurance rates for employers would go down by “as much as 3,000 percent”.

That dummy Drumpf talked about Navy “corpse” men.

No wait...

You didn’t have to explain it. It was a totally lame piece from an obscure source unknown to all but .ooo1% of the population.

What’s next, articles from the Weekly Reader?

Yes, as you say, he is a “nothing has been”.

That is precisely WHY the article should not have been posted.

You have made clear your reasons for posting what you posted. I am not suggesting you should be prohibited from posting that which you did post. I am merely offering an opinion on the thought behind your decision.

No big deal. The Sun will set this evening and rise again tomorrow morning.
