the media has decided that this is an important election issue. a few potential immigrants.

right now, all we know for sure is that there are some foreigners in a foreign country.

i know, shocking, right?


there's apparently a group of foreigners in that foreign country that came from a *third* country.
wow! they're so foreign that even the foreign country thinks they're foreign.

that's really foreign!


and donnie is claiming (ok, completely making up) that there might be some "middle easterners" in this group. so, foreigners that are so foreign that even the foreign foreigners would consider them foreign!

that's like, foreign to the third power or something!!


anyway, there's a possibility that they might head toward america and come to the border and fill out some paperwork to file for permission to come and work in america.

that's a long way to come looking for a job, but we've got the best jobs and all that.

fortunately, i'm sure our government is adequately stocked with number 2 pencils and such, so i'm sure we can properly file and process any such requests to come and work here.



wait, remind me what the issue is? there's a foreigner in a foreign land and that's supposed to make me change my vote because... what, exactly?

Like I've said multiple places here and elsewhere, Trump and his minions are treating them like a horde of Zombies threatening to overrun our borders and kill us. Of course, they're not, but they may as well be as they *somehow* threaten our way of life in some as yet-to-be-explained way.

That’s dedication!

It just occurred to me: I bet trump is monolingual, at best.
