Trump: Mexicans Swarming Across Border, Enrolling in Law School, and Becoming Biased Judges.

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA (The Borowitz Report)—Unless the United States builds a wall, Mexicans will swarm across the border, enroll in law school en masse, and eventually become biased judges, Donald J. Trump warned supporters on Monday.

At a rally in San Jose, the presumptive Republican nominee said that “making America great again” meant preventing the nation from becoming “overrun by Mexican judges.”

“We don’t win anymore,” he told the crowd. “We don’t win at judges.”

While Trump offered no specific facts to support his latest allegations, he said that he had heard about the threat of incoming Mexican judges firsthand from border-patrol agents.

I thought to myself 'Self, I cannot wait to hear the audio of this newest Trump rally'. It is really frightening that even Borowitz's & the Onion political satire could actually be true to life.

But my inner dialog was "Oh, my god - did he really?" in a way that meant it was totally believable.

Borowitz is terrific. The day is coming where his satire is tomorrow's Trump headline.

being so angry at HRC being the nominee that you would let a MENTALLY DISTURBED individual get the White House. Everyone should band together to get every Republican up for re-election out of the House and Senate. These people and their nominee are batshit crazy.

Those that hate Hillary and love Bernie are eager to burn the place to the ground. And I've never seen so much salivation from "Democrats" WANTING a freaking indictment of a Democrat. Vile.

But with all due respect, it looks like he's not going to be the Democratic candidate. The point is that the lunatic will probably win if Democrats can't unite against him. Considering that Hillary has had to fight two battles at the same time (against Republicans and Bernie supporters) indicates that she's more than capable of winning if she has to fight only the lunatic. Eventually Bernie and his loyal supporters will have to face this reality and stop claiming she can't possibly win. Not only can she, but she must. Or, as a country, we are doomed.

have had this "Any support of Sanders is the burning down of the party" meme for months. Long before he has been eliminated. He still is not eliminated, not until the SD's actually vote.

The Clintonites also refuse to debate on the issues where Clinton has/is/will veer to the right of centre vis-a vis not only Sanders but the vast majority of Democrats in general have for decades. The "she is a woman first and foremost therefore I am voting for her" meme, combined with the cult of personality and sense of an almost imperial entitlement surrounding her that seemingly blinds all in it to any possible wrongful policies or actions emanating from her is unnerving.

were also gay and female? Is that like a triple bias? Now, if they're gay, but not out of the closet, is that a secret bias? Or, if a gay Mexican sneaks in through Canada, does that make it a double-secret bias? The possibilities are staggering!

He's mad at a judge with a Hispanic heritage, therefore all Mexicans are going to be judges just to thwart him personally.

It's all about him and screw everyone else. He actually loves hurting other people. He does it to make himself look bigger/better by comparison, but it just shows how intellectually and emotionally lacking he truly is.
