Oh Christ, that photo. Does it now just show up in google searches for Brown People? I’ve seen it for the past 2 years in every cons. piece about immigration. Usually about Mexicans. That’s MS – 13 — probably the most dangerous street gang on Earth. Originated in Los Angeles as Salvadorian immigrants displaced by their Civil War of the 80s (we backed the Military coup) — as protection for Salvadorians from Mexican and Black gangs.
Then Crack happened.
GOP Govs: Deukmajin and Wilson rounded-up black and hispanics, letting prison or ICE sort ’em out — creating a massive deficit. And did sending them back where they came from work ?Most joined the paramilitary we backed & dealt arms and drugs they imported from the US. 5 years later they came back as the most violently insane gang America has known (except the 19th century Irish gang 40 Thieves). Proliferated all through Cen. Am., they set-up with Drug Cartels
As for the FMLN, the Salvadorian socialist party that was democratically elected but ousted by a Military coup we backed in a proxy war with the USSR (remember when we hated those guys?) — they won a few years ago and after sweeping corruption reform and transparency, El Salvador is the most stable country in Cen. Am.
You’re right on Impeachment. Senate couldn’t even close out Johnson. So lets ask: WTF is Trump doing cutting the Coast Guard to build the wall? That’s going to triple Cartel traffic.
1 – Why the ratchet only goes one way, I believe it was LBJ who said ‘ Give them everything , make the Republicans take it away’ , that’s been working for the left for 50 years
2 – In a short time Susan Rice will be universally hailed as half whistle blower half Rosa Parks who risked jail to bring attention to the evils of the Trump administration. In the next Democrat administration she will be awarded the Medal of Freedom.
I think the photo is a compelling ad for Simpli-Safe.
yuk, yuk!!
Just a photo of a couple of high school freshmen.
Great podcast, as always. Loved your vignette about Japan, Mike. I lived there myself, long ago.
If Obama had sons, they’d look like them.
Not that I care, as I left the Left, running and screaming because of PC-nonsense — but an important note for Conservatives: You guys shoot yourself in the foot “trying” to lure PoC, especially Black, voters. @quakevoter ‘s joke was funny; Bishop, yours would elicit the ubiquitous name-calling of Racist.
Not saying you are, but just calling it like I see it.
If the Obamas had a son, he’d look about as threatening as Raj from What’s Happening! Neither Malia nor Sasha look like they are turning out like Snoop from The Wire, either.
Thanks Mike! Maybe we can exchange stories about the Orient sometime.
That’d be great!
