catfacemeowmers, one of the most astonished that Gates hasn’t already seen to the most efficient and benevolent dispersal of his wealth, then volunteers that if he was a billionaire, he cannot say for certain what he would do.
There’s some seriously retarded shit going on itt.
When did Scaramucci become strongly and publically anti-Trump? I missed it, probably because he is irrelevant, but scrolling through his Twitter is pretty interesting.
Mooch is a guy that was all for the grifting until he realized our democracy was fucked up if it continued. All of these GOP dudes are the same way. Guys like Bush/Kasich were never on board from the get go. Guys like Romney/Mooch/Ryan were on board and realized it was a crazy train and jumped off.Guys like Cruz/Rubio have been sucked into the black hole of the crazy train and are all aboard. Guys like Mitch/Graham created the black hole of the crazy train in the first place. They are all complicit. It’s just a matter of moral values at this point.
Like there is a 100% correlation between the Trumpkin supporter that likes Moscow Mitch vs the Trumpkin supporter that likes Kasich or Romney. The common denotator is Trump but they all support their various crazy positions within the GOP.
They are all wonderful. I wish someone would make an outside run at Mitch just to run ads featuring those pictures. Facebook would run them no problem.
Early on, yes but few people were making it through the entire wall by the 70s. The wall had a crazy number of deterrents along with it. It was like the Ninja Warrior of border crossing. Most who did escape didn’t escape per se. They either got a permit to leave and never came back or got to West Germany via another country.
In short, walls are bullshit because where there’s a will, there’s a way and some escape attempts were truly ingenious.
Obviously the number decreased after the wall was built, but there were still around a thousand people leaving the GDR illegally each year up to the 80s:
Most people did not flee in Berlin, but they found other ways, overstayed their visa, etc. But that is kind of the point, isn‘t it?
