Saving Private Bone Spurs





October 2, 2019

President Obama foretold the future of Trump's 'moat and alligators' anti-immigrant dreams--in 2011

As reported by the New York Times, Donald Trump wanted extreme measures to stop immigrant crossings at the border. Extreme as in, immigrants being eaten by alligators seemed like a good plan to him. Privately, the president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate. He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh.
--------
This takes us back to 2011, when President Barack Obama jokingly went after Republicans for their neverending excuses to avoid taking up immigration reform legislation—eerily, America’s Favorite President seems to have predicted a Trumpian future.

"Maybe they'll need a moat," Obama said mockingly to laughter from the crowd. "Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."

Heh. Do you think the Troll in Chief found this speech and tried to model his immigration policy on something that Obama could not get done?...after we all know that sociopaths don't get humour... 'Beat ya Obama' ... hehehehehe

You live by the witch-hunt; you die by the word of law...

Trump is the master of the witch-hunt. When MAGA cultists bleat that this impeachment inquiry is a witch-hunt, we must remind them that Adolph Twitler actively delighted in touting one of the world’s most ridiculous, racist and fuck witted conspiracy theories in the 21st century in an illiberal and anti-democratic attempt to delegitimise the last president just because he was black.

That was a witch-hunt, the direct opposite of what is happening right now, in fact.

And so, as the transparent and legal process of trying to stop his outrageous behaviour continues, the great Orange fuckward calls for civil war to protect his illiberal and anti-democratic conduct. Seriously?
Trumps Army Be Like…

Heh

Britain meet Anarchy.

I was listening to a radio call in show talking about Brexit…Surprise! Some old git phoned in and basically said that the decision by the Supreme Court could effectively be ignored because:

1. 200 years ago, if a mother stole some bread to feed her hungry kid she would be hung and we would not do that now.
2. In Germany in the 1930’s they passed some very naughty laws that should not have been followed.
3. In the Middle East today they treat gay people very badly and that is legal to do so in those countries.

Apparently, the cancellation of the unlawful prorogation of Parliament is just like the cruel outmoded and outdated laws, above, that would not fit into our modern society, so OBVIOUSLY it can be ignored.

You would not hang someone today. You would ignore that law because that law would be specious and THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING…

So, the Tory Shire Brexit fuckers really do think, in this nation of laws, they can decide which laws they choose to follow. Let us add arrogant to the adjectives we use to describe this shower.

Britain meet Anarchy.

Anarchy please be gentle as you dismantle 1000 years of democracy building.

Sigh
