La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for February 22, 2017

…TMI, dude!

President Trump really loves the hard line dictators. Whether it is in Syria or Russia or China or the Philippians. He likes their style. Which is disconcerting to us who do not follow dictators.

“Emporer Trump”? It’s funny. When the right called the former Commander-In-Chief “Emporer Obama” or “King Obama” the left called them all manner of things for it. Now they are doing the exact same thing. Which is fine – but maybe it’s time both sides stop pretending they are any better than the other. in fact, imagine what we could get done in Washington if they did.

Trump hates the White House, the ghosts of the real presidents hate him.

Republicans never called him ‘King Obama’ or ‘Emperor Obama’.

As you well know.

They called him a socialist communist fascist who was a Muslim born in Kenya —the polite version.

The rest referred to him as the n______r in the White House.

And Republicans now expect to ‘get things done’ without any participation from Democrats. Example: Now coal companies can pour their solid waste into drinking water.

Let’s all rally ’round.

Most Muslims are fine people. It’s the potential for terrorism, we need to address: somebody tell us how to keep dangerous people out of the USA, if not permitting entry in the first place. Virtually 100% of terrorists just happen to be Muslims, whether they’re targeting each other or not. When the unrest in the Middle East ever settles down, I should think most refugees and migrants would to return home. I would.

To zippy: Most white Christian men are fine people. It’s the potential for daily (yes, daily) mass shootings that we need to address. Somebody tell us how to get mass shooters out of the USA before they do their shooting. Maybe we could just keep them locked up at home and forbid them to ever leave the house.

Your “virtually 100% of terrorists” line is a toxic lie. In fact, the majority of terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 have been carried out by white right-wingers.

And your final sentence doesn’t connect with the rest. Sure, refugees would rather not move. That’s why they’re refugees. They’ve been forced to move. Because they fear for their lives and the lives of their families. These aren’t abstract fears. These are “bombs just fell on the house next door and killed the entire neighbor family” fears.
