Agree with **Gorsnak**. The vast majority of Canadians do not seem to want the border open. I believe that the US and Canada have jointly decided, just recently, to keep the border closed until at least October 21. That’s likely to be extended, IMHO. Mr. Trump is lying about Canada wanting the border open. Both countries want it closed for now. ---

Georgia GOP’er Doug Collins (from the same Scumbag Row as Jordan and Nunes) had some warm sentiments for the recently-passed RBG, tweeting: “RIP to the more than 30 million innocent babies that have been murdered during the decades that Ruth Bader Ginsburg defended pro-abortion laws,” Collins tweeted. “With @realDonaldTrump nominating a replacement that values human life, generations of unborn children have a chance to live.” Class act. ETA: I just now, REPEATEDLY, tried to edit out the “Collins tweeted”, but for some really strange, fucked-up, mysterious reason, it wouldn’t let me. ---

I’d been wondering why Trump has been saying for weeks that the pharma companies were putting out ads that were mean to him since I’d seen nothing of the sort. Makes sense now. Well, makes sense as far as anything Trump ever does makes sense. ---

So, no need for any President to do any negotiating with Big Pharma, then. Trump’s voters will, no doubt, uphold him in his _‘no more negotiating since you turned down my bribe idea’_ snit! ---
