I recall that way back at the beginning of the current national nightmare, they set up a special hotline for the purpose of facilitating this sort of propaganda. The American people [responded](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39731085) [in](https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Troll-reports-of-Space-Aliens-floor-Trump-site-11103977.php) [droves](https://gizmodo.com/trump-administration-creates-crime-hotline-to-report-al-1794706532) to the call to “phone this number with reports of crimes by aliens”. I myself reported an alien I saw participating in a brazen theft of laundry from a clothesline – unfortunately, it seems that the authorities have failed to track down the perpetrator despite his distinctive mechanical-rice-picker-damaged ears. ---

That’s nothing. Friend of mine had an illegal alien explode through his ribcage once. Right in the middle of dinner, boom, blood and guts everywhere. And this little asshole is smiling before he runs away. I don’t think they ever caught the guy, either. ---

I take that back. It is too soon. Even in ten years, it’s going to be too soon. This was evil, pure and simple. I don’t feel like joking, for once. ---

Of course Occupy White House doesn’t want the courts involved in his business. Look at what happened back in New York. And make no mistake, he doesn’t think the office of president is anything other than his business, to run how he sees fit. ---
