Obviously.

6. is that London Bridge falling down?

...alert the authorities.

2. I really hate putting our soldiers in the middle of this mess.

They have families, they have children that age. Many of our soldiers are Black or Hispanic, how will they react seeing these beautiful families and being told they are the enemy?

This man is a menace!

5. they'll react with compassion and empathy

...unlike their CiC.

3. I'm no medical doctor but it doesn't look like any of them are suffering from leprosy or smallpox.

Surely a right wing mouthpiece would never lie about such things, would they?

7. Did somebody actually suggest the migrants have smallpox?

There hasn't been a case of smallpox recorded since 1975.

12. You should never be surprised by any racist or outlandish statement by a right-winger.

They will say anything in service of their political positions. There is also no bottom to what they will say. Expect the next statement from them to be worse than the previous one.

4. They are so scary! They will want to impose those gamo on poor unsuspecting

American children!
