Sad

anyone saying it wasn't important. I remember people saying there was something of MORE importantance than a single episode of a rich white guy sneaking in.

But let's not worry about the Mexican border. No problems there, nossir! We can safely ignore that!

By the way, how many thousands of people has Speaker infected so far? What's the death toll? Oh, NONE? Oh.

So, then why does the CDC still consider him a danger? Oh, they DON'T? Oh.

Whether or not the guy was contagious, his passport was flagged. That he crossed the border with a flagged passport is a concern...

Some police, for example, might put out a description: a white man, red hair, freckles medium build, about six feet tall, grungy blue jeans, and a torn t-shirt, driving a late model tricycle.

That would be normal, more or less.

But if the description said the man was of Arabic decent, that is a forbidden! ::sarcastic expression on face::
