Trump… appeared to walk back his [border closure] comments Thursday.

Oh AP, you sad news org. Here are direct quotes from the Dumpster:

“We’re going to give them a one-year warning”
“Somebody said it will take a year. No, it won’t take a year. It’ll take a day. They wrote a lot of fake news. I said in a year,” Trump said.

That is not “appeared”. It is bat-sh*t crazy.

One of the biggest problems we face is a shrinking workforce as Baby Boomers retire and opioids continue to remove young workers from the employment pool; giving us our ridiculously low unemployment rate. For many communities that support Trump, an influx of working immigrants and families would be the best thing that could happen, especially if we documented them and collected taxes.

Without a doubt, every Republican policy only makes the problem they’re trying to solve worse. From the idiotic War on Drugs that criminalizes a medical problem to the dysfunctional free-market system that denies workers any leverage to negotiate; Republican policies are the problem their voters need solved. But they’re too busy fighting a lost culture war against liberals to see it.

Oh, I don’t know. Seems to be a lot of open space at this Trump golf course. Let’s build some dwellings there for the asylum seekers.

We city folk have more room. Not sure about the exurbs and flyover states.
I guess maybe sometimes they do seem pretty full… of something.

So I guess next will be Badges of Honor for mothers who have abortions for service to the country by not adding to the overcrowding. Perhaps having an Angel of Death visiting old folks and helping them climb the rainbow bridge would save social security for years to come.

The greatest benefit would be a deepening of the gene pool to avoid the kind of brain power that elected trump.
