This is a truth.

Bernie Sanders’ campaign is firing back at Hillary Clinton after she said she was “so sick” of them lying about her contributions from the fossil fuel industry.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, on Friday called Clinton’s statement “disappointing” and untrue, pointing to research from Greenpeace that shows she’s not just receiving money from “individuals” who happen to work in the oil, coal and gas industry, but from 57 industry lobbyists, including 11 who have bundled more than $1 million to help put her in the White House.

Counting money given to a pro-Clinton super PAC, the fossil fuel industry has donated more than $4.5 million in support of Clinton’s bid, he said in a statement.

“If the Clinton campaign wants to argue that industry lobbyists giving thousands of dollars to her campaign won’t affect her decisions if she’s elected, that’s fine,” he said. “But to call us liars for pointing out basic facts about the secretary’s fundraising is deeply cynical and very disappointing.”

Greenpeace research link is worth a read.

Or if you're really bored and want to read someone try to pigeonhole people in the Republican primary race into fitting in a Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan analogy, http://thefederalist.com/2016/03/31/white-house-trek-2016-the-wrath-of-trump/

I wonder if he was paid per word.

So. A few hours ago, two smugglers were caught on-camera scaling the Mexican border in Arizona:

15 seconds. 15 freakin' seconds. If you ever need to explain to someone why Trump's wall is a terrible idea in the simplest terms possible, please do me a favor and show them this video.

All that really tells us is that the previous wall is inadequate, which we all knew already. The new one would presumably address issues like "it has handholds that people can climb."

[Shadowlord]

Yes. To deter climbers, ze perfect vall vill be lined vith sharp razors, flesh-eating bacteria, and radioactive waste.

Also does anyone think walls are left unmanned?

Here's a good tale. Being descended from the Trojan hero Aeneas, the twin brothers Romulus and Remus were born from a vestal virgin and the god Mars (basically twin warrior Jesus before Jesus became cool, they were so underground). Long story short they set out on whacky adventures and wished to set up a city, incapable of deciding whether to build on one hill or the other, and even their interpretations of augurs goes nowhere. Remus mocks Romulus's city and wall out of banter, but one day his wicked bullying goes too far and after jumping over Romulus's wall, Romulus kills him with a shovel. Remorseful, he buries Remus.
That city
Became
Adolf Hitler Rome

But seriously though who builds unmanned walls
If you get a decent wall for no cost, sure that's sweet
But the real cost is manpower

Not that the great wall was actually unmanned, but, you know.  Not enough to actually stop anyone from getting through.
