Sure it would have, Trumpy, but guess what? As a consolation prize you can have the fact that we did get him _at the same time_ that President Obama was kicking your ass at the Correspondent’s dinner. ---

I know there’s so much you must be afraid of, especially if you actually think the White House’s rhetoric has anything in common with the real world. Pronouns are part of the liberal conspiracy!

He might’ve gone fishing, but the crew would see to it that he never came back to land again. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > You know, on one hand, Americans have decided that being an “economic inmigrant” is akin to being the love child of Brutus and Benedict Arnold. Apparently “I want my children to have a better life” must be purely ideological, and those who inmigrate for this reason must be able to live on nothing but air without taking American jobs (which are American by virtue of being in the US, not of requiring American citizenship/nationality, being linked to American national security or any of that). > > And on the other, when someone runs yelling “heeeeeeelp! These bad hombres want to kill me, rape my children, throw our corpses to the dogs!”, then it’s “we don’t want people from shithole countries!” > > It makes perfect sense, of course, but only if you’re the kind of person who’s convinced that anybody else will be a more desirable employee and citizen than you are. The thing is that for the most part these people aren’t even economic migrants. As you stated it isn’t, “Hey I can make twice what I make at home if I dismember chickens in the US”. Its “If I stay where I am there is a good chance me and my child will end up dead”. Rather than calling it a migrant caravan they should call it what it is, a refugee caravan. Not that the distinction is going to make any difference to a Trumphead. > [@magellan01](#): > > The military cannot arrest anyone, maybe not even detain them (not sure). But they can help with logistics, erect structures and help process people. All that frees those who can detain arrest people to do so. Do they really need 15,000 troops to handle logistics for 3,000 refugees? The logistics for the Troops are going to be more difficult than the refugees. Meanwhile whole towns in California are going up in smoke. With at least 77 dead and around 1,000 missing. An event where help with able bodied men, heavy equipment and advanced logistics could make a huge difference. But that pales in comparison to horrid possibility that some 3,000 brown people might find safety in the US and god forbid pluck chickens,[pick crab meat](https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-crab-visa-shortage-20180502-story.html), or install dry wall. We have to keep our priorities straight. Besides the victims of the Camp Fire were from California which voted against Trump so they aren’t really Americans, screw 'em. ---
