It’s the border fence. Ant the Keystone pipeline. And climate change. And Trump’s immigration policy.

And aliens.

Q: A drop of 100% means how many percent is left?

Math is racist, you racist!

Well, exactly why none are left. If they had any sense they would step up the reproducing...

No. It’s ‘The Wall’.

‘Experts’ have been predicting this for decades.

Funny how mini-Ice Ages can be so cruel to the gentlest critters amongst us.

Another instance of Chinese espionage. I wish the Chinese would make a mistake and plant some weed that reduces the potency of California liberals.

“Ahhhh, the Monarch Butterflies. Wasn’t that the species who had no capability to fly through the slats or over the Border Wall?”

“Immigrants will just go under, over, or around a wall. It won’t stop anyone so just tear it down.” - Liberal breath 1
“Burrterflies will never be able to get around, over, or through a wall so just tear it down” - Liberal breath 2
