1. Nothing more thoroughly demonstrates the ignorance and/or duplicity of the Trump White House and Trump family than their attempt by @PressSec and @DonaldJTrumpJr to use reasoning that wouldn’t be accepted by a third grader to proclaim that @Acosta has shown walls work....
2....what is most jaw-dropping is the possibility that Sarah sanders and @DonaldJTrumpJr are actually so stupid that they think their argument makes sense. But I fear it is more that they know they can tell any lie and believe that Cult45 does not have the smarts to know....
3...if you don’t know the story: @acosta tweeted that he saw some fencing on the border and all was calm in the area. @PressSec and @DonaldJTrumpJr - arguing with such stupidity that no one could have predicted it - proclaimed this was a “self-own” that proved walls work....
4....for those who need baby steps, this is the equivalent of saying “there is a red light on the street, and no bears nearby. Therefore, red lights stops bears.” Or, “there is a store 30 yards from that wall that sells cola. Therefore cola fights crisis on the border”....
5...as any child will know, the presence of one thing does not prove it is keeping another thing away. The question: in the areas where there is no fence, is there crisis? The answer is no. You know how we know that? @acosta showed that too in the same area....
6...the issue is IS THERE CRISIS without a wall, just like in the neighborhood with a res light the question is are there bears when the light is gone. Here we already know the answer from @Acosta reporting: no. There is no crisis. That is why he also finds no crisis where....
7...there is no fence. There is no bear on the street with a res light and on the neighboring one without. That’s because there is no bear. There is no crisis where there is a fence and a mile away where there is not. That’s because there is no crisis....
8...that this White House is so dumb or so disingenuous that they would use such a classic example of flawed logic shows either they are stupid or believe their followers are. And I am already seeing commentators on here laughing and joking that this PROVES walls work. So I....
9....guess the White House knows their audience: dumb as bricks.
Perhaps, @PressSec and @DonaldJTrumpJr, rather than using arguments derived from your attempt to be the hardy boys, you should examine what the security experts say. That is the way things are supppsed....

10....supposed to work. The problem is identified - with research - and th experts are consulted to find solutions. And experts say a wall is the most expensive, least effective approach. The ONLY reason trump wants to throw away billions on something that does not...
11....work as well as techologicAl solutions and specific law enforcement programs is because complexity does not make a good chant. And people who like simple, easy to understand - yet wrong - answers shut down when the right answer can be summed up in 3 words....
12...so I’m not concerned whether sanders and don jr and don are liars who think they are preaching to idiots or idiots themselves. But for god sake we can’t undertake a multi billion project that experts says won’t work. Do the cheap stuff first. The new tech that is available.
13....but for the rest of the evening, watch the tweets from people who don’t understand basic logic and what constitutes confirmation laugh and giggle. Proving beyond doubt that, for them, it is true: they are too dumb to be part of this discussion.
14...and one question: is state news @FoxNews spewing this nonsense that lack of crisis near a wall shows walls stop crisis? Because they ARE smart enough to know. Which will just go to show yet again how evil those people are in pouring propaganda on our nation.
