When Donald Trump went mucking around the Texas-Mexico border last month at Laredo, I got to thinking about failed Texas gubernatorial candidate (well, failed in everything this side of dogcatcher of Utopia) Kinky Friedman and his five Mexican generals plan.
First, with all the GOPers in the clown car, why isn't Kinky running for president on some sort of independent angle?
Second, why doesn't he update to the five Donald Trumps plan?
Instead of giving five Mexican generals access to a huge pot of money in a bank or whatever, but taking some of that money away, every time someone crosses the border, clone The Donald four times (scary) and put five of him on the US side, paying every illegal immigrant who he sees money to go back to Mexico. Or Guatemala. Or China. (At least 10 percent of the southern border-crosses come from further south than Mexico, and not all southern border-crossers are Latino.)
Of course, the Donald refuses to accept that these are people simply trying to improve their lives, just like his ancestors.
Do I hear "Five New Jersey bankruptcies," anybody?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
