      Some people are just stupider than you would like to believe possible while still not forgetting to breathe. My father is one of the idiots that moans about “For English, press 1” or feeling slighted that people around him have private conversations in Spanish when he doesn’t speak it. Out of all the states, where does this idiot move to for retirement? Florida, famously known for its lack of any Spanish-speaking population, of course.

    ‘Languages Are Coming Into Our Country’

    Even if you don’t understand them, they’re probably still more coherent than Trump’s recent speeches.

    Trump: People who don’t speak languages.

    He doesn’t know that this includes him, does he? Unless “what fucking bastardization of the English language is this?” counts as a language.

    I guess English isn’t a language in the same way that male isn’t a gender and white isn’t a race and hetero isn’t an orientation.

    Happen to catch his bullshit bc YouTube has decided I like political news bc I clicked one John Oliver video, and that I must want to hear his voice after avoiding it for 8 years… The best part was “languages we don’t even have translators for! We don’t even know these languages!”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Both Donald Trump and President Joe Biden addressed migration across the southern border during dual visits to Texas on Thursday.

    Trump spoke in Eagle Pass, a border town in the Rio Grande Valley that has become a flashpoint recently due to Texas Gov.

    Greg Abbott’s dispatch of the Texas National Guard to wrest control from U.S. Border Patrol agents.

    During his speech, Trump said that Biden was allowing “millions of people from places unknown” to cross the border illegally.

    Biden, meanwhile, visited the city of Brownsville, located at the southern tip of Texas, where he addressed Trump directly and criticized him for pressuring Republicans to kill bipartisan border reform legislation, which failed to advance in the Senate earlier this month.

    “Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me, or I’ll join you, in telling Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill,” Biden said on Thursday.
