There are two things we need to know about the wall

1) It is, practically speaking, impossible to build

2) It wouldn't work anyway

Can we move the fuck on now?

Argh!

(This is directed at ALL of the media and politicians who are discussing the wall as though it could possibly ever be a thing, regardless of which 'side' they are on. THERE IS NOTHING TO DISCUSS!!! STOP VALIDATING THIS CONVERSATION!!! STOP ACTING LIKE THERE IS ANYTHING SANE ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT OVER A UNICORN!!!)
