More Things Nobody Knew

"If you look at it, I mean, the state is tremendous. We don't see that. You know, I come from New York -- you have 5th Avenue and that connects to Park Avenue, and it's not too far away. But this is hundreds of miles between places!" https://t.co/PCtF3fFoOD

Well, that one's true.  Don't tell him we drive hundreds of miles for lunch when good BBQ is involved; he'll plotz.

When I was a kid, and traveled outside of Texas, people assumed several things about me:

1)  I wore a cowboy hat everywhere I went (never have; I'd look like an accountant trying to be a cowboy if I ever did, even then).

2) I wore only cowboy boots (as an adult, yes.  As a kid?  Are you kidding?  Monkey-Wards sneakers, and if you don't know what those are, ask your grandpa, punk!)

3) I rode a horse (as a teenager, but only on weekends, and then only occasionally).

4) I had an oil derrick in my backyard.

Those things were all as true as this comment by the POTUS is:

Trump thinks this is how people live along border in Texas: "They're told never to leave their house at night, & during the day always carry a gun... & where they have fences, b/c these are big ranches, never go near the gate unless you have 2 people... nobody's ever heard this!" pic.twitter.com/9j2wvM7lBP

Again, there's a reason "nobody's ever heard of this!"  It's called:  LIES!

And as for how we treat immigrants at the border (some of whom are simply people crossing the border every day to do business, something Trump seems utterly unaware of):

After hearing the border stories, Pres says he's "going to have to call up more military," even though they "can’t act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy." Says Dems will pay a very big price for inaction on border security. pic.twitter.com/5EPjQO9fGt

Well and there's that whole "rule of law" thing.

Really got to get rid of those courts, huh?
