I hadn't been that far south on I-5 since I was a kid (my brother lives in San Clemete so I usually stop there) and I visited a friend who lived in north SD county. I started screaming in horror.

That message has been spread for years now. Even Jindal spoke of it when he gave his party of stupid speech in 2012. No matter what happens though, they never really accept it. It's sucks for this country too because even if we avoid Trump in 2016, we'll be right back here in 2020 with someone who's essentially just as bad, only to some degree slicker so as to try and dupe just enough people to win. Then the real pain begins...You know, the kind of pain we haven't seen since 2005, when Bush and the GOP ran the whole thing.

Oh my God, they just get so fucking stupid. Let's see. Some impoverished, desperate soul, pays a coyote thousands, somehow crosses the river, makes his way through steaming hot desert without food or water, just so that he can....er... VOTE? Forget fleeing death squads, finding a way to provide for his family so they can survive, gain a better life for his kids, or just plain be able to not starve--nope, they're doing all that so they can vote for someone they've probably never heard of. The Trumpanzees literally, absolutely, have zero idea how the world works, or how life might be for anyone other than themselves, or just about anything. I can't wait for this to be over... please, make the stupids go home, send them scurrying back to their garbage cans and dumpsters... MAKE IT STOP

"1938 Mercedes-Benz he's trying to ride on"--very, very nice turn of phrase.

Yep, and picking the fruit and produce that EVERY AMERICAN EATS and is happy not to have to pay high prices for. I guess after the backbreaking 14 hours in the sun picking strawberries, they collect their five dollars, and walk the twenty miles into town after dark, making sure no policeman or immigration officer sees them, find a voting place that, I guess, is still open at 10pm, and go right up in there and vote in a language they don't speak for someone they've never heard of.

AND from Nicaragua, where the death squads were funded and enabled by RONALD FUCKING REAGAN, rendering these same CHILDREN orphans with no means of survival at all, other than hanging onto the roofs of the trains and then begging for some kind of survival work like picking grapes for two cents an hour.

Right? I mean, let's just grab our pussies and get out of here.

I would TOTALLY rock a 1938 Mercedes 540Khttps://classiccarweekly.fi...

They also cost one Hitler's-domicile of a princely sum.

And? How is Herr "Grab 'em by the pussy" Drumpf any better? He's got his ugly Russian mail-order bride, Vladimir Putin. You can always count on Drumpf to sell us out to Vlad, and you can always count on Vlad to hack our elections and steal our voices from us by stealing or tampering with our votes.

How is this any different from the thousands of Americans who "cross the border" to "vote" for Justin Trudeau (in their bunks) every day?

Asking for a friend.
