Irony Alert
Some times things are just wizardry.
A plant in Kentucky is moving all their operations to Mexico.
The Louisville plant, at 11225 Bluegrass Parkway, makes aluminum ladders, wood attic ladders and fall-protection products like ropes and harnesses.
Ladders. They’re moving their ladder making company to Mexico.
The owner of the company “did not address whether the aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year by President Trump were a factor in the plant closure.”
Probably did, though.
Thanks to Wyatt for the heads up.
A Ladder making company in Mexico? Hmmmmmmmm.
1*snerk!*
2Apparently THEY are pretty sure the “big, beautiful wall” WILL be built.
3They might also go into the shovel and tunnel equipment business. I hear that could be a trend.
4What was that sign someone had?
5Trump’s wall-$5+ billion, 32-ft ladder-759 pesos.

Catapillar could help them out.They need the business.
6Icing on the cake: What is Russian oligarch Deripaska’s main business? Aluminum. So Russians will now sell the aluminum to make the immigrants’ ladders to scale Trump’s wall. Donny should cut out the middle-man and move to Moscow. He can build his tower and walk in on teenage Eastern European beauty contestants in stages of undress 10 times a day till he keels over from too much grease in his arteries. We’d all be happier.
7Following their market?
8I can see why Gov. Bevin thought this was a good day to distract people by sneering at states that don’t want children to die of hypothermia. Probably planning to primary trump.
9Bullets to buckshot, the owner of the transplanting plant voted for orange foolius, and remains a proudly ignorant repugnant.
10Never mind: After 2006 bankruptcy, Werner Co. operates as an international subsidiary of New Werner Holding Co., Inc. with manufacturing, warehousing, sales, and distribution facilities in the United States, Australia, Canada, China, Mexico, Vietnam and the United Kingdom. So it’s not a “home team”, except for the workers, …. who undoubtedly are proud MAGAts.
11If the shovel makers move to Mexico we will be defenseless!
12Now Trump will want a wall and vats of boiling oil.
13Does anybody remember when the Golgothan asked a crowd of bottom feeders how ladders could defeat his precious wall when the fall on the other side would be devastating, only to realize onstage that a rope would do the trick?
14So the Weaselheaded F**knuggett inspired the perfect promotional strategy for this kinda company, then provided the motivation to use it with his tariffs.
Ladder and rope, one stop shopping for a whole new generation of immigrants.
@ Myrna:
MAGAts. Why, when you say it that way, it sounds like “maggots”. Is PURELY unintentional, I am sure!
@ P.P.:
They are poor mexicans, they’re always in huge, incredibly fecund groups that actually can get pregnant, have babies and go on teh welfare the SAME day! They’ll just get TWO ladders.
If I was a guy with a few bucks in my pockets, I’d open a Taylor Rental and RENT them ladders–with big ass deposits and then hire other mexicans* to bring them back to the rental agency for half of the deposit!
* I have heard from several Trumpliguturdz that they’re not even RILLLLLLy mexicans. They’re other, WORSER ilegullz**.
** As if most of the idiots could tell a ,mexican from a guatemalan or a tierra del fuegan.

15Well, you know all them,” Illegals,” are going to need ladders for that beeutiful wall!
16And that plant that had been planned for Wisconsin just went poof! You know. The one tRump trumpeted to much, thousands of jobs, etc. He doesn’t know or doesn’t care (probably both) that no manufacturer needs thousands of workers any more. Damn near everything can be done digitally.
17PP: hemp makes the strongest rope. Someone is missing a windfall.
18Damn libtards! Any Republican knows that aluminum ladders aren’t irony.
19So once the little green thread in the hemp rope tells you it’s time to replace the rope, can you just smoke the rope? Asking for a friend.
20maggie, is there any irony in the fact that the manufacturing that was supposed to go to Wisconsin will be going to Mexico?
21Lless:
22Thanks for that. I haven’t heard any good metallurgical humor in a long time.
This may be my favorite story this week. More ladders in Mexico is something Trump created.
23They won’t pay for Trumpligulamygdala’s Wall Against Terrizm (TWAT) but they WILL pay for them friggin’ ladders–with STOLEN credit cards!
