Was there any story, or example that started this Trump line that he keeps repeating about people from "prisons and mental institutions" "flooding the country" ?

I mean he has a point, there are so many they are even former presidents...

But seriously... was there anything that started it or is it just totally made up without even a single distorted example?

@futurebird My theory is that older people remember the Mariel boatlift in the 80s and the rumors about Castro emptying his prisons and asylums. It worked then, so...

The problem with Biden is not that he is old or that he is all of a sudden suffering from dementia. Although that may be true, it is not the main reason why he is supporting genocide. He as always been unconditionally pro Israel. He has always been for America's aggressions in SW Asia. He has always been racist. He was against school integration. He voted for cutting social security. He's deported more people than his predecessor. Why do people continue to see something that's not there in the man? Blaming age or Israeli leaders for what the US establishment has full control over. Wishful thinking I guess.

Our new foster dog had a bad day. You see, she spent her entire four years of life in a cage, making puppies for some greedy assholes in Missouri. She's free now but is still afraid of humans. She's also very uncomfortable because they didn't bother grooming her regularly. All that thick, matted fur not only hurts but it means that poop gets stuck in difficult places when she has accidents like today. I'm afraid I didn't help her opinion of humans when I gave her a bath this afternoon. Luckily, she will get a proper, professional grooming tomorrow.

Commercial breeders belong in prison.
