Death From Above is Magic
Ben Carson may not know anything about actual policy or facts or boring details like how the Supreme Court works, but he's a real quick study when it comes to finding stuff that will excite rightwing supporters. And if Donald Trump is going to build a YOOGE classy completely impermeable wall to keep Messicans from all over South America from crossing the border, then Ben Carson has an idea to top that: Use drones against immigrants. Not reconnaissance drones to monitor their movements so the Border Patrol can arrest them, but something a bit more permanent. In Arizona Wednesday, Carson said he'd be open to armed drone strikes against illegal entrants, because wow, that would be so cool.

In an appearance with Pinal County Sheriff Paul "I'm not your 'sweet Babeau!' Babeau -- whose county, it should be noted,isn't actually on the border -- Carson seemed perfectly OK with raining Hellfire-missile death onto people for crossing the border illegally, never mind that immigration violations are a civil and not even a criminal matter. Phoenix station KPHO recorded part of the exchange:
And again... another empty, entirely baseless, self-congratulatory bit of wank from you.
Super. I'm sure mommy's really proud of you.
The mind boggles at who thought that was a great name for the campaign.
