I love ‘floats the theory’…to see if ANYONE ANYWHERE bites. No Donnie…if you weren’t in such a hurry to pretend we were all ‘cured’ there would be no spikes but…

If Mexico had paid for Trump’s wall, there would have been no CV in US.

Of course, Mexico is responsible for infecting Americans with a virus that started in Wuhan China. “They are not sending their best.”

But…but…the wall! How can this be happening? It can’t possibly have anything to do with forcing members of that community to go back to work in meat packing plants and other hot-spots. That just can’t be the reason.

To an astonishing degree, the death and misery this pandemic has brought about in the United States can be attributed to one person named Donald John Trump. Pass it along.

If you want to appreciate just how fully the Trump administration has screwed up the immigration system for Central American asylum seekers, I highly recommend the episode of “This American Life” that recently won a Pulitzer. Some incredibly moving sections. Warning: May cause rage.

The U.S. is the world epicenter for C-19. It’s quite a stretch to blame Mexico for the latest spike.

This is old news!

Everyone watching Fox already knows that antifa-paid caravans full of MS-13 snuck into the country this year, but not before handling Covid-19 infected prayer rugs and Korans mysteriously left along the border.

Which means your great wall…failed?

Just wait until the Rethugliklan bigotmeisters discover that at one time or another a Mexican touched 80-90% of the food they eat. All those diets they couldn’t stick to will suddenly become achievable.

To the Editor(s) -
Since I can’t get enough of seeing Donald Trump’s face, can you possibly find newer and better ways to put his picture at the top of every fucking article, including those which don’t mention him until the very end, in passing, but most especially those that have no Trump-related information?
Because why not, right?
Seriously: you kids seem to have a fetish about putting his ugly mug at the top of (almost) every article. I guess the only thing better would be if opening the article also auto-played a recording of his voice uttering his latest lies. That would be awesome.

You forgot “ANTIFA!” But outside of that, I applaud your thoroughness.
ETA: Oops! I somehow overlooked the “antifa-paid” wording. Humblest apologies.

The problem is the slits in the wall portions that have been built–solid wall, no Covid-19. If we had solid walls around the entire US, no Covid whatsoever!
