San Antonio Rose, Er … Wall
I have always considered San Antonio my second home. I love the place. You really ought to go there sometime to see the Riverwalk, Mi Tierra Restaurant and Bakery, the Mission tour, the Alamo, the trolley to the Mercado, the view from the front steps of the administration building at St. Mary’s University, the wall.
Trump said …”Everybody knows that walls work. You look at different places they put up a wall, no problem. You look at San Antonio. You look at so many different places. They go from one of the most unsafe cities in the country to one of the safest cities, immediately, immediately.”
There used to be a wall around the Alamo, a long, long time ago, but … well, it didn’t work and that’s why it’s important to Remember the Alamo.
And while San Antonio is indeed one of the safest cities in America, it is not on the border. It is 150 brutal, unforgiving, vicious, varmint filled, hot as hell, desert miles from the border. And there is no wall.
He’s a dope.
Walls went out,or rather came down. after gun powder was invented. Or rather manufactured in large amounts.
1San Antonio is safe because:
1. It has a large Democrat base.
2. There’s much less racial tension than in other large cities
(see No.1).
3. People in San Antonio are too busy eating marvelous food
and drinking tequila to spend time hating.
4. RepublicanRacists (just one word) find it easier to
congregate with their own kind in New Braunfels.
I spent three years 3 years in San Antonio while I attended TSU and UTSA. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
2River walk, Alamo, Alamo stadium, wonderful food, good hotels and all downtown. I’m with JJ. One of my favorite towns.
3Maybe he meant the San Antonio Wall Mart?
4In Donnie’s ‘mind’ San Antonio needs a wall. River walk? That’s like driving a stake into Donnie’s heart. As soon as he can turn a huge profit on them, he’ll be sending you some used golf carts from an update of his fleet at his golf holes. But say walk again, and expect a hail of drones for that perversity.
5Since he said virtually the same thing about El Paso, it may be that all places with Spanish names look alike. Probably San Angelo next.
6Unfortunately, the Trumpeteers and Foxbots a) haven’t a clue where San Antonio is, b) don’t give a sh*t about fact-checking their Orange Leader’s statements and c) believe anything he says or tweets. Hopelessly blind, clueless and stupid.
7As Reagan went deeper and deeper into his senility, major policy decisions were made by Nancy’s astrologer. I didn’t think it could get any worse.
This is worse.
8@ slipstream: So, we’ve gone from government by astrologer to government by (to put it in a Momma-friendly manner) a guy whose primary care physician is a proctologist?
9Wanna no howe walz wirk? Ask the KGB who had to tear down that wall.
10JJ,
11You are too kind.
He is not a dope. He is either a liar or he is having cognitive issues.
He is dangerous either way.
Walls have two purposes, 1. to keep things out. 2. to keep things in!
12There are lots of walls in San Antonio. Just as there are in every other city. Every building has walls. Maybe that’s what he was talking about. Or maybe he was just talking.

14RE: “Trumpeteers and Foxbots”
As Dean Wormer said, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
>>Buttermilk Sky:
15or San Francisco. I’m sure he has no idea what state it’s in.
@rsginsf: no, he thinks San Francisco is full of those LGBLT people, or whatever they are, and Nancy Pelosi, so it must be in California. 🙂
16Didn’t the Alamo have a wall around it?
17@Ted,
Reference: http://www.thealamo.org/remember/structures/buildings/index.html
The walls around the site were incomplete, as were the roofs on some buildings.
18Prisons have walls and they don’t keep people OUT so much as keep most in-when no helicopters happen to drop in or no laundry trucks leave with extra stuff to wash.
