Seth Meyers’ Plan for the Mexican Border is Wacky Enough for Trump to Actually Approve: WATCH

Seth Meyers ripped Trump’s “obsession” with the U.S. border with Mexico last night, blasting his plan to send the National Guard there.

Meyers started by mocking Trump’s fondness for the term “catch and release” — or “as Trump used to call it, ‘marriage.’”

This week Trump called for the U.S. military to guard the border.

Said Meyers: “Oh great, another thing for General Mattis’s to-do list. He’s already planning your dumb military parade, now you want him to guard the border. Why don’t you combine the two and have the parade along the Mexican border? If you think about it, have you ever tried to cross the street during a parade? Immigrants would walk up to the border and be like, ‘Aw man, this is today? Ugh, bagpipes. Let’s get out of here.’”

Trump also gave a speech where he talked about the border with an arm movement that looked like he was describing the curves of a woman.

“What is this?” asked Meyers, imitating him. “I think he wants to f**k the border.”

Meyers then moved on to Trump’s “growing anger toward Amazon,” noting that Republicans are refusing to live up to their demands that the government not pick “winners and losers,” something that Trump lives to do.

Trump reported asked people around him how “he can F with [Jeff Bezos].”

Quipped Meyers: “How can you F with him? Do the same thing you did with the rest of the country and run for president of Amazon.”

CVS Sued for Exposing HIV Status of 6,000 Patients in Mailing

A federal lawsuit has been filed against CVS Health for exposing the HIV status of at least 6,000 patients through the transparent window on envelopes that were sent in the mail. The privacy breach took place in Ohio.

CNN reports:

The complaint, which was filed March 21 in federal court in Ohio, also names Fiserv, the company that CVS hired to mail the letters. On the envelopes used by Fiserv, the patients’ HIV status could be seen through the clear window, just above their name and address, the documents states.

The letters included the patients’ new benefits cards and information about a mail prescription program.

The companies are being sued by three unidentified plaintiffs, according to the complaint.

CVS is also accused of not informing all patients about the privacy breach. The plaintiffs are seeking a class action suit and jury trial.

The complaint is similar to one filed by consumers against AETNA last year in which HIV statuses were also disclosed through a window on the envelope.

Aetna was ordered to pay more than $17 million to settle the class action lawsuit.

Approximately 12,000 customers in 23 states were affected by AETNA’s privacy breach.
