Holy smokes! Even the socialists are turning on Joe.
There’s no way he’s going to be the nominee.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador can replace Karine Jean-Pierre.
He’s Jedi mind tricking Brandon. Totally works.

To Illegals: think twice about coming here or staying here. You’re not welcome when you come illegally. Get in line and do it the right way. Until then, stay in your country and think about how you can make Mexico a better place to live.

HE IS CORRECT. this is only a show for voters in NY.
Mexico is one of the worst countries in the world. Obradors should clean up his own cesspool.
Who could be stupid enough to actually believe the communists would give away their most important weapon for continuing & expanding the current tyranny permanently?
Open borders have worked and will continue to work...
With 45-to-50 million of the migrant-invader vermin already in our country, the communists will double that over the next 5 years...
That will assure the communists the permanency that Ronald Reagan accurately predicted...
They know its just talk because Biden is in serious trouble.
