Rachel Maddow Busts Trump For Basing His Immigration Policy On A Fictional Movie Plot

Rachel Maddow Busts Trump For Basing His Immigration Policy On A Fictional Movie Plot
Donald Trump’s reckless rhetoric and policymaking when it comes to immigration might be based completely on the fictional plot of a movie, according to Rachel Maddow.
On her program on Monday night, the MSNBC host pointed out that two of Trump’s most recent immigration assertions – that illegal border-crossers have better vehicles than U.S. law enforcement and that women are being taped up and trafficked across the border – can’t be substantiated in the real world, but they are featured in the new film ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’.
“Is it possible that that is where the president cooked up these justifications for the supposed crisis at the border and the pretense for sending U.S. troops there right before the election?” Maddow asked. “Could that actually happen in real life?”

Maddow said:
We don’t know why the president is saying either of those two things about the southern border. Apparently the border patrol does not know either and Trump appointees were surveying members of the border patrol to find out if there is any factual basis for any of these things the president has been saying. It should be noted that both of those things … do feature in a movie. … In that film, which is fiction, one of the things that happens is there a woman taped up in the car. In that same movie, there are also Mexican smugglers with amazing vehicles that are too fast for American law enforcement to keep up with. Also, you know that thing the president keeps saying about the prayer rugs being found in the desert at the border? That’s in that same movie, too. Again, all plot points in the same movie, which is fiction. Now, in a normal administration, it would be insane to suggest, even think about, even joke about the president of the United States seeing stuff in a movie and him maybe thinking it was real, or at least real enough to justify an actual U.S. military deployment of thousands of active duty U.S. troops to the border. … I mean, is it possible that that is where the president cooked up these justifications for the supposed crisis at the border and the pretense for sending U.S. troops there right before the election? Could that actually happen in real life? I don’t know.

Why the fuck not? It's fucking normal now, isn't it?
Maybe you can do some serious fucking journalism and try to find the Fish People of Atlantis. I saw them in Aquaman.
Then you can move on to doing the real "gum-shoe" work of finding out why Achilles didn't just turn around and dip his fucking heels into the River Styx after Thetis ducked him in by his feet.
Maybe....JUST FUCKING MAYBE!!!!...you could quit covering this fuckers delusions as if they have any fucking basis in reality.
Fuck, I just thought of something. There are 2,208 billionaires in the world...AND NOT ONE FUCKING BATMAN
Please find out why there are no Batmans...or are there 
Is your whole post sarcasm?
