Ahhhhh. The well-oiled monotone drone of executive management telling you it will all be OK as they gently, and slowly, slip their dick up your into your anus. The politicians allowed this to happen. I don’t blame people for wanting to vote for Trump. At least these folks might one day be able to obtain $15 hourly jobs at Walmart. Or, if Bernie wins, everything will be free, so it’ll all work out OK. Can’t lose.

Picture me this: Mexico has a lot of American retailers there: Home Depot, Sam’s, and they have all the American fast food there. And they have a gazillion American manufacturers there assembling everything from house electrical, plumbing, automobiles, aircraft and aircraft parts.

This business about Mexico wants to be us is dumb. They are us. Le Trump is not bullshitting when he says the Mexican government is smarter, however, it ain’t the government. It is American business that has found it more profitable to manufacture abroad.

If China has an advantage, it is in price. Mexico has the advantage of being right next door. Our advantage lies in our capacity to float the dollar and drop our labor costs but that will never happen. We love keeping the dollar high so that other nations sell cheaply to us. American workers be damned.

Once again, when Le Trump says they are not sending their best, he’s right. According to Prof Pangloss, the US was also playing the internal imperialism game drawing the best and brightest to the northeast. And they sucked the foreign talent there as well. Now the fuckers have decided to stay home and only the poor shmucks come over. Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. The reality is that nobody wants your sister, they’ve had her, you just didn’t know it ’til Trump told you.

El Corona – I hear ‘ya. This President’s Day weekend I am recalling how five American presidents supported NAFTA, whereby, the U.S. got the shafta.

It’s the horsepower behind Trump’s current momentum.

Read it again for the first time: I said that Le Trump is right about Mexico. He is not pro-Mexico and I am not anti-Gringo.

Something happened to me back when Mahtomedi provoked me and now, I just don’t give a shit about anybody’s opinion of me.

It’s like the second wind you get when you run long enough that you feel like your going to pass out and then your cells start to process the oxygen and glucose like when you were 3 and could outrun a fucking cheetah.

El Coyote, Fuck Yeah!

Mexico City is one of the top most populated cities in the world, there is not enough work for those people there and in other regions of the country and the poverty is rampant. They are sent here to take our jobs not because Mexico is just like us but because Mexico can no longer deal with the ever increasing scores of starving scarecrows. I have to wonder how long they will be left on the US dole once they get Hitlery installed into the WH.

America is making a HUGE sacrifice to bring the areas of the world that is starving into productivity.

I followed through with Trump’s claim that Mexico is not sending its best. However, nobody is sending anybody, they are enticed here by the promise of jobs and available means of entry. Also, you assume that because Mexico City is very populous, it must be the source of those immigrants. They come from all over Mexico and points beyond.

You’d make a good journalist, Bea, I particularly like the ‘ever increasing scores of starving scarecrows’. Scores means twenty. Wow! What an exponential increase that is.

This could be fun! But first, wifey wants to run down the road for cocktails and supper. I’ll be back to kick you in your non-existent balls later. I’m deadly after a few cocktails.

Also, when you DOPPLE as the reincarnation of Jfish, you should double-check the caps more precisely. Plus, your indifference/ignorance vis-vis “your”, “you’re” gives you away.

Alright, cocktails and steak and then a beat-down within the next two hours.

EC- Read it again , (Mexico city and other regions) also (A SCORE= 20) SCORES could be any number, you understand what I am saying. Don’t kid yourself that the 38 families who control Mexico absolutely had a part in sending those people here to the US, and on our side they were promised free housing, food etc.

I am no enemy of Mexico and much less of Mexicans. But this is exactly why Trump MUST win, even if he is a short fingered vulgarian. frankly, I don’t give a shit if he blows his nose in his napkin and slurps his soup. He is the last chance we have.

I’m back on the Trump Train. Stucky the Trumpeteer.

Fuck off! I certainly KNOW that I’m a massive fatass flip-flopper. I’ve admitted it before. I admit it now. I know I’ll probably regret his brand of Authoritarianism.

But….

… the debates are on, and Ms Freud has INSISTED on watching it. What choice do I have? Valentines Day is in two hours. I’m pussy-whipped.

You know why Trump looks good? BECAUSE ALL THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE MASSIVE PILES OF PIG SHIT!!

Trump said invading Iraq was a yuge mistake … indeed, he said getting involved in the ME has been a $5 trillion dollar disaster. Jeb rolled his eyes, and said he’s sick and tired of Donald attacking his family. Rubio said he was happy Bush The SeniorFukCriminalCocksucker was president after 9-11 and not Kerry. Someone — I think Kasich — said, ‘well, Colin Powell said they had weapons of mass destruction and that’s good enough for me’ ……………………… and the people clapped!!!

They strongly booed Trump for not wanting to be at war in the ME !! WTF?? In fact, they’re booing Trump left and right. WTF??? Something is wrong, very wrong. The powers in charge MUST be playing dirty tricks … busing in loads of people specifically boo Trump. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. But, something stinks in S. Carolina.

Fuck this country. Especially fuck the people. Good people — people like on TBP, even Westcoaster — amount to less than 5% of the country. It’s not just political congressfuks who are warmongers. This whole fucking country loves war.

The time is coming when this country will no longer be able to push other countries around. Maybe it will be when the petro-dollar crashes. Maybe the $20 gazillion dollar debt. Maybe something else … but that Day Of Reckoning is coming. I CAN’T WAIT!!! I hope all the countries and people we fucked over will fuck US over twice as bad. I know that’s crazy … I know that if that happens I likely won’t survive … but I don’t give a flying fuck. I’ve already lived long enough. I hope this country burns into a heap of ashes. Let the arc of justice destroy the destroyer of nations. I’d like to be around to hopefully help rebuild a better America, but I don’t give a flying fuck if I’m not. I just want to live long enough to smell the smoldering ashes, and see a few politicians suffer the Blood Eagle.

Well, I’m back. But not in much of a mood for a shit-fest. The god-damned Beaner bartender shorted us on our liquor, I swear! Wifey had 2 rum ‘n cokes and I had 3 greyhounds, but we hardly felt any buzz at all. So we sent him and his unpaid slave wife Maria down into the basement to fetch a mythical battle of 1953 Chateau Lafite and raided their ‘tip’ jar while they were searching. Got a couple of 20’s”, a bunch of 10’s, and more 5’s and 1’s than I can count. So at least we got ‘paid’ for our meal. God damn Beaners. We won’t be able to show our face in that joint again for a couple of months, after Juan and Maria have upgraded their illegal job theft status to the motel level.

Well, I’ll pour me a poor man’s cocktail here at home and see if EL dipshit is up for anything. He may be busy with the flour in a futile attempt to find the ‘wet spot’.

Just a joke towards EC. I’m a big tipper (20%) because I have two sisters who once waited tables. And to me, a bartender is every bit as important as anyone in the community. Maybe more.

I swear on my Bible this is true. I was the Shipping Clerk for the ITT Wiremill in Cairo Ga in 1984 when Chicago Hqs decided to move all the equipment to Brownsville, Mexico. I went from about $40,000 to about $5,000 (and glad for the Walmart job). Then my sexy blond but stupid wife divorced me after 23 years with two kids still in school (You picked a fine time to leave me Lucile, Kenny Rogers). Alone in my apartment without utilities dying of a broken heart, I cried out to God for help; suddenly I felt some thick liquid pour onto my head and begin dripping down; then fell immediately into deep sleep. When I woke hours later, I felt like a new person. A few months later, I went to hear an Evangelist from South Africa who knew absolutely nothing about me but told everybody he had a message from God for me: “You have a heavy load and It was I who came and put my arm around you”. Praise God.

I’m not butthurt or anything. I wasn’t even referring to anybody, really. I just mean that I got this strange mood and I’ve been dealing with it. It isn’t anything I can find a cause to. I only can trace it back to a time but not a cause.

I’m just letting stupid comments like the lurkers who complained that we were wasting their precious time when me and Maggie and jfish were fucking around on a throw away article about Andy Griffith.
They came back today complaining that they could get more insight from a barroom convo. I’ve been trying to make more serious comments, really.

Oh, Bea, I meant to tell you, thanks for elaborating on your comment. I don’t really know much about Mexico politics or the 48 familias, that is news to me. All I know is they are crooked. I was surprised to find the USA has followed that crooked path after our president at that time purportedly said, I am not a crook.
What he actually said was different.

Some folks are carrying on claiming I’m acting butthurt. Silly gooses.

I read up on this. The Carrier employees are making $25+ an hour plus bennies. They are unionised. No management wants to deal with a fucking Union.

So the company is paying probably $75k per year for unskilled workers, who likely are about as productive as a fucking one armed chimpanzee owing to their “union” rights, and amazingly the management decide “fuck this, we are moving to Mexico!”

Seriously, Trump cannot stop this. No one can afford to pay unskilled workers those amounts, PLUS carry the fucking bennies mandated by Obamacare, etc.

I was involved in losing down a large Union plant in Indiana years ago. The union caused their demise. I am sure it was responsible this time, too.

El Coyote, I was a trainman before I got drafted. I think Red Ball refers to trucks; trainmen use the term “high ball” for haul ass. Railway track blocks are one mile long and entry is governed by three lights: Red stop, green go, yellow caution. Any kind of “Red Balls” scare the hell out of trainmen. If a train “busts a block”, that is, an axle completes the electric circuit of an approaching block showing a red light, the whole crew is fired (if they survive the head on crash).
