@redcrew thanks! Updated.
@shawnhooper CBP numbers are notoriously inflated as fuck in the first place, too (when you look at how they try and qualify these/semantics)
@shawnhooper how dare you make sense. This administration’s actions are purely vengeful, spiteful, and insane, in full-on exploitative capitalism on its citizens… so it’ll never make sense.
I'd be somewhat inclined to question the Press Secretary's claim of so many millions of deaths through this drug too.
