The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

One of the consequences of NAFTA was precisely that many people who previously did not need visas to travel to Mexico, and minimal paperwork to get a work permit (when needed), now do need visas and more paperwork.

Whether the Mexican government has the resources to deport them, or the political will to do so with the immense majority whose only crime (if any) is not having requested Visas and other documents before getting to Mexico’s southern border, is a different matter. And why should Mexico be the ones who take care of all the poor, downtrodden masses in the rest of Latin America, when so much of the downtrodding has been done by, cough cough, someone other than Mexico, is yet a different matter.

A Costa Rican coworker once described his own country, and by extension Hispanic America, as having “a family problem between The Mother Country (Spain) and Big Brother (the US)”. They tend to have sibling friction as well, but a lot of fundamental things including legal structures have their roots in that initial dichotomy.

Awesome post – thanks.

“The US police departments” was intended to mean “the police departments of varied political sub divisions of the US”, and was read as such by most. The most kind interpretation of your misguided nitpick was that you missed the plural, but apparently you did read it as “departments of ‘The US police’”.

Thanks, naita.

This photo of Eric No Scoops from the national tree lighting ceremony makes me think he could sneak into a McPoylefamily reunion/orgy and no one would bat an eyelash.

He’s definitely NASCAR Trump, that’s for sure.

Trump claims the rioters in Paris are chanting, “We want Trump.”

Yeah, but I’m sure they mean, “Take off that velcro patch!” as opposed to “We’re taking all the guns and sharp objects away from the man who is quite obviously a dumb fuck.”

The Attorneys General of DC and Maryland are planning on filing about 30 subpoenas against the Trump Organization, the IRS, and multiple other organizations in the Trump emoluments lawsuit.

To be clear, lest anyone think that the CFSG had an original thought, this was a retweet of a blorting from the BigFatJunkie.

I think THAT “piece of work” has since been demoted and reassigned.

I have “a problem” or two with that.

  1. Murder is not cool.
  2. The guy was a resident of this country, and therefore SHOULD have been under our protection.
  3. It has nothing to do with Dump’s idea of banning Mooslums (or at least banning the ones who didn’t line his pockets).

So no, there ain’t any “no wait” about it.

… or more verification of the data Meuller already has???

Damn right, WE didn’t.

I was being facetious, although that doesn’t necessarily come across in text. Trump and his base didn’t give a shit that the guy was murdered and bent over backward to give MBS a pass on it.

Apparently, after the CIA director briefed some Senators, it’s pretty obvious MBS was directly ordering this killing.

Makes one wonder how much Trump is owned by the Saudis. The joke from the G20 was the high fives between MBS and Putin were congratulations on each making Trump their bitch.

Lindsey Graham, who lately has been the master vacillater in the political winds, is convinced that MBS is guilty:

Story here.

I have to wonder if Haspel offered some views on how *she *would have done it in one of *her *CIA black sites.

Probably still less than the Bushes. Trump is so easily fooled that anybody can look like they own him.

The man is delusional.
I think he got this one from listening to Rush Limbaugh.

As the Jacobins erect the guillotine?

We have got to build a dome and China is going to pay for it!
