    I hate to argue against the presiden’t latest dumbassery, but he’s arguing someone took a box cutter and cut a slit 350 feet long.

    If someone did you that, it would be a failure of his administration to not catch them on the spot well before they got that far.

    This is beyond stupid, not worth responding to except for the poor bastards the feds are trying to run through the meat grinder to cover up the president corruptly giving a contract to his partners that kickback to him.

      The fact that people believe this tells me the lot of them have never participated in a single second of manual labour. You go drag a box cutter 10 feet across a similar surface and tell me what that blade looks like haha.

        350 ft. is no joke. I think someone would have to be on their hands and knees dragging that knife across a distance longer that the Statue of Liberty is tall (by 49 ft.)!

          If only someone had a graphic made comparing the statue of Liberty and the reflecting pool side by side then I’d truly understand the scale!

            Well, if it helps, the Eiffel Tower is almost 109 elephants tall and the slit is about a third of the height of the Eiffel Tower…so approximately 36 elephants tall in length. Does that help?
