“His hands are THIS big, and Donald told me Heidi Cruz is so fat she was arrested for having ten pounds of crack,” good to see not only Rubio, Cruz and The Donald in a fifth grade name calling contest, but finally SNL joins in, about time I say! Hey, I been writing here for 20 years at a fifth grade level to help Republicans understand politics but it just never caught on until this year.
Though this sketch makes a fool of Donald Trump surrogate Scottie Hughes, it’s the far more ubiquitous Donald Trump official spokeswoman Katrina Pearson who really needs the poke in the eye.
I was very very disappointed to hear that the intrusive federal government – Secret Service – nixed the plan for open carry in and around the Republican convention center in Cleveland this July. You know, making everyone just that much safer. But what about concealed carry? And as Ohio is an open carry state, can’t Trump fans with assault rifles line the areas across the street and off the property of the convention center. Please someone, give Corey Lewandowski a gun as he seems to be attacking the ones on his side.
Reminds me of a true story.
It was a beautiful Saturday morning down here in Dumbutt and I took the wife’s car for a detail at the car wash. Crowded, spend three hours outside yapping with me fellow Texans. I would do a little innocent bait to feel them out, to find if the dozen or so I talked to were in the Trump corner, they all were except the young ones. In fact it was all overweight middle ages white men.
As they were unsure where I stood they usually just fell back on the self financing issue that he was in no one’s pocket. The staff at the car wash was of course mostly illegal Mexicans or Black along with a few black customers. They were constantly walking back and forth shouting “Black F150!” “White F150! Red F150!” “Silver F150!” I took notice that they drew near, the middle aged white men would suddenly shut up, look around and wait before proceeding with their harangues, which was mostly about Hillary’s emails, Hillary’s Benghazi and the horror of Obamacare. All of which no one would give a crap about had it been white middle aged Republicans doing the horror. When each and everyone got to those point I knew it what it was about and told my little story.
“Hey what a great car wash his is hey? I was just down past Hy 3 at the Car Spot wash. Paid up and found all 4 big screen TV’s repeating Bill O’Reilly on Fox. I couldn’t get away from it! So I went to the cashier and asked for the remote to change the channel to Animal planet or something. I was told it was Car Spot corporate policy that Fox News be on all the time on all TVs. So I got my money back and drove down here.” That did it. After so many friendly conversations about dogs and cars, they all turned away. We do not give enough credit to talk radio and Fox News for the angry intolerant mess they have made of this country.
There are many downsides to being a liberal in Texas, but one of the good things which is true anywhere, I can state my politics honestly and loudly in front of anyone without having to look over my shoulder.
