Mexican Senator Threatens Takeover of US States

    Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is making overtures toward the Trump administration in the wake of a threat by the White House to levy tariffs if Mexico doesn’t do something about illegal immigration.

    However, one Mexican senator has a different tack for dealing with the threat: Take over some American states.

    It’s very likely that Félix Salgado Macedonio probably wasn’t entirely serious when he took to Twitter on Saturday to propose taking back the territory the United States won in the Mexican-American War back in the 19th century.

    However, the rhetoric is not what anyone wants to hear — particularly after Macedonio personally insulted Trump even before he went all irredentist.

    “Trump corn hairs, do not think we’re afraid of you,” Macedonio began, according to a Google translation of his tweet. (“Pelos de elote,” or “corn hairs,” is a colloquial insult that means “unattractive hair.” Because, get it? He noticed that Trump’s hair can be mocked. No one’s ever thought of that one before.)

    Funny. I was thinking somewhat the opposite, namely, that we might have to take over the Mexican border with Central America, as it would be much easier to guard, and perhaps retake the Panama Canal as well.

    If we could somehow dump southern California on them, though... We could of course throw in Pelosi and several key Dems to "sweeten the deal."

    Ah, you took my line, I was going to say, State no, but I think of few California cities that we could probably sacrifice for the cause...
