its fairly simple and easy and lazy at that to rely on the news media to tell you what is happening. if you paid attention to presidential addresses or checked up on shit that really is going on you would find this :

so what DIDNT george do, aside form get the lazy fuckin apes up from there couches and personally escort them in a bus out of their city?
