Immigration and rural areas…

Well…as you know I read a lot for both pleasure and for topics for this place…and I just read a short article that made me think a bit and wonder why is this happening. Many studies have show that there is creeping brain drain that is happening in the rural areas of the country with most of the young people being driven out by the nasty laws that the repubs have been passing there and for the lack of opportunity to be financially successful…and the repubs are still attacking immigration that has been shown to be the only way that the rural areas can maintain their population and keep the economy working…so who does that benefit? It sure doesn’t benefit the older repubs that are in many places that are slowly dying… and it sure doesn’t benefit the farmers like those in Florida who had entire crops rot in the fields when they drove the immigrants out of the state…it looks like they don’t care about any of the fallout from keeping immigrants who are legally coming here out of the country…so I guess now they are just legislating by hatred of the non-white people who really could help their economies thrive again…and that hurts everyone…geez…

Is this enough, repubs?

Well…is anyone surprised that the idiot trump is a racist asshole? Now, they shouldn’t be after his comments yesterday in a meeting in the WH where he called African countries, Haiti, and Honduras “shitholes” and wondered why the US accepts immigration from any of those places….yep, the fake president sitting in our white house said that…I wonder what the reason could be? Could it be that the citizens of those countries are not white? Of course it is….and the idiot boy tried to lie his way out of it last night by saying he never said it…and his spokespeople justified it by saying it would play well with his “base”…you know, the racist assholes that elected him. But, Senator Durbin, who was in the meeting, confirmed this morning that “shithole” was exactly what the racist in chief said…now, my question is: “Is this enough, repubs?” Where is the limit of how much you will allow this cancer on this country to continue? Probably until we take back the house in November because the rest of the repubs who didn’t condemn this racist bullshit are racists themselves….and are perfectly fine with letting the country go to hell as long as they get their tax cuts…..keep your heads up folks, it’s only 11 months until this piece of crap is gone…impeach….

We’re all immigrants…

Well…with trump’s immoral crackdown and rounding up of immigrants since his Russian fueled election, I have a few thoughts on the day that many cities are seeing an “immigrant strike” where many places that depend on immigrant labor are closing for the day to emphasize how much immigrants contribute to this society. Unless you are Native American, you and your family are immigrants and came here for the very same reasons that current immigrants do…for opportunity and to make a better life for their families…many escaping the prospect of death in their home countries. When my family emigrated to the US in the late 1800′s, we were demonized for being Irish, and were relegated to slums and the worst jobs as were most immigrants at the time…but there was significant difference then…as soon as immigrants set foot on US soil, they were on the path to citizenship and a way to integrate themselves into the US society, something that immigrants in this society can’t do with the current “hate the immigrants” culture that has been fanned by trump and that was instrumental in his hate filled campaign. Over the course of this country, immigrants have been reviled and scapegoated over and over again…and their contributions ignored…I hope this day of resistance does something to end that….

What more does Trump have to do to be impeached?

Well….it is pretty clear by now that trump has no idea how democracy works and he showed it again today with a tweet attacking the judge in Washington that ruled against his bigoted, illegal order on immigration. Here’s what the idiot said: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”  First, never in our history (other than Nixon) has a “president” attacked a judge when a ruling went against him…trump seems to think that whatever he does is perfectly legal since the other idiots around him kiss his ass and tell him it is…that’s not how the three independent branches of government work you moron….and the judge responded that he doesn’t care who is “president”, he only cares about the law and it’s correct interpretation. What more does trump have to do, repubs, to be impeached by you? Read the damn 25th amendment and get to work….

The ACLU leads the way…

Well….since we all need protection from the illegal and immoral trump regime, it is great to see that the ACLU is leading the way..filing many, many lawsuits against the unconstitutional immigration orders issued by the idiot trump….and support for the organization has exploded over the weekend with it raising over 24 million dollars online in two days…to put this in perspective, the ACLU normally raises around 4 million dollars a year online so this is an unprecedented response to the unprecedented lawlessness of trump and it makes me feel good that the ACLU has our backs in this fight…and that we have their backs, too…keep up the good fight…

Let’s start by boycotting Uber….

Well…as part of the resistance to the trump regime, we need to stop doing business with any of the companies whose ceo’s are cozying up to trump and his minions…I don’t have a complete list yet but I will try to get one over the next few days just to make it easier for me and you to do something to hurt these assholes who think it’s perfectly fine to have a racist idiot in the white house. So, let’s start by boycotting Uber…whose ceo is one of trump’s corporate “advisors” and who took advantage of the NY taxi strike in solidarity to the protesters against trump’s racist immigration order….delete your Uber app and use Lyft instead..Lyft donated a million dollars for lawyers to protect the innocent immigrants that were illegally detained by trump and his minions….let’s make Uber pay for supporting trump….

Lawless republicans…

Well…where the hell are you repubs? A lawless fake president is violating the constitution, breaking laws, and defying multiple court orders and not a peep out of you assholes….if Obama would have done even one of these things regarding immigration you would have had articles of impeachment delivered the same day but when trump does it, nothing but silence from you hypocrites…so we all now know that your supposed reverence for the constitution and the rule of law was just more and more damn lies….is there not one of you on the right that will do what’s right for the country just once instead of your party or yourself? It’s up to you to do your job and hold the idiot trump accountable…but, none of you will…and the country sinks….

The country weeps….

Well…after the idiot trump barred people from 7 muslim countries from entering the US by another of his bile spewing hissyfits, the reality of more than 200 years of welcoming immigrants to this country is over…and this damage was done by one of the most stupid people ever to walk this country….and not one damn repub has said a word against it…even though the executive order is clearly unconstitutional under both the first and 14th amendments….but, the one thing this idiot has shown is his complete disdain for the constitution….this is all on you repubs…you elected and are enabling this idiot to break the law….and your true colors are being revealed…that you have no moral code or moral fiber in any of you….this country now weeps for the ruin you have heaped on it in the past 30 years….I hope you all burn in hell…

The cost of Trump’s nonsense…

Well…if you’ve heard a newscast or read the paper lately, you know of the Donalds pledge to round up and deport all the undocumented immigrants that are now in the US on “day one” if he is elected president…yeah, I never in a million years thought I’d use Trump and president in the same sentence either…kind of creepy to say the least..okay, back to the topic…one of the things that ole Donald doesn’t talk about is the cost to do this…well…there are now estimates that do put costs to this idea and that makes it even more nonsense….the latest estimates say that it would cost from 400 to 600 BILLION dollars over 20 years to get the job done….so, he thinks that spending that money just to satisfy the haters is a better deal than say, fixing the roads and bridges, or paying for college for a whole generation of Americans? It is just like a repub that they can always find money for war and hate but never to make citizens lives better…I wonder why I’m surprised at this? Shouldn’t be, it’s been this way since saint Ronnie….geez…

Republicans are still stupid…

Well…just a couple of thoughts that I wanted to get down here this aft and not get further behind….you know, repubs are still really stupid….first, you have this fight over immigration with them trying to tie reversing Obama’s immigration policies by tying them to funding for the DHS and acting like a bunch of pouting little brats when the dems don’t roll over and allow it….those immigration policies are nothing different than Saint Ronnie of Reagan did when he was in office and the repubs thought they were great back then…wonder what the difference is? Yeah, we all know the just hate the black guy in the White House…..what was the second stupid thing? Oh, I guess it’s just that they keep doing the same thing and expecting different results…did they really think that even if they passed this crap that Obama was just going to say…”oh, okay, if you say so, I’ll sign it”? Oh, the second thing is ole Boehner’s invite of Bibi…and now 63% of the country said it was a stupid thing to do…so, John, don’t take my word for it, listen to the damn country for a change…geez..
