One more item before I run screaming into the night –
President Donald Trump suggested shooting migrants in the legs in order to slow them down after they crossed the southern border during a March meeting in which he called for a shut down of the entire US-Mexico border, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Citing interviews with more than a dozen White House and administration officials directly involved, the Times — in an excerpt from the book “Border Wars: Inside Trump’s Assault on Immigration” — reported that Trump had moved on from the idea by the end of what the Times described as a “frenzied week of presidential rages.” But he had also pivoted to removing staff who had opposed him, an idea largely advocated by White House aide Stephen Miller in his push for greater influence on immigration policy.
Shooting. migrants. in the legs.
Has he been skyping with Netanyahu?
Keep in mind that a regular talking-point of the anti-BLM brigade is that police cannot be expected to “shoot for the leg” (or arm), because that’s a Hollywood fiction and is likely to just get cops killed if they try it. So once again, Trump’s gleeful sadism undercuts his own position–if it’s safe for Border Patrol agents to try leg shots on these immigrants, it’s because these immigrants pose no actual threat to the BP agents in the first place.
Please don’t run screaming into the night, OB. You might encounter Trump sleepwalking around like Frankenstein’s Monster.
Best to stay indoors, especially when there is a full moon.
I’m too lazy to do it, but I feel like someone could create a good quiz on “Who said it — Trump or Charles Montgomery Burns?”
Shooting limbs is a Hollywood thing… It requires a level of accuracy that is difficult to achieve in ideal circumstances and is not unlikely to kill the target in any case (because you stand a good chance of nicking an artery).
America is “the baddies”.
In the Times article, they report that he also proposed–seriously–moats filled with snakes and alligators.
As you say, no words.
Combining #4 and #7 – is there not a simpsons episode that features a shark tank with a lion thrown in for good measure?
