tRUMP'S PLAN: Border Solution. Give Them a FREE One Way Bus Ride Right Back to Mexico! FREE Airplane Rides to Venezuela! Afghanistan! Gaza! Or Anywhere! IT WORKED GREAT FOR HAITI...

and Deportation for people that overstay their Student Visas! Like Melania Trump and her "Chain Migration" Parents. She had a "Genius" Visa? WTF!

There was a time Years ago when it Made Sense to Allow People into the USA... BUT... That time has Passed... In the 1970s we brought Computer Engineers and Programmers into Silicon Valley... I worked at a Place where half of the employees were from Foreign Countries... but NOW... Massive High Tech Layoffs... NO NEED for People To Come Here... 

What about a Massive Deportation effort on People that have overstayed their visa? One thing for Certain, NO ONE from Gaza Comes Here. NONE!

an Alternative Solution:

Lets HIRE IMMIGRANTS and Collect Social Security and Income Tax from Them. While Republicans are FREAKING OUT about the Border... the Solution is Obvious...

and Immigrants would do all those Jobs that Americans Refuse!






and That would Solve the Problem of Illegal Immigration... Simply Legalize it and Put 'em to Work! Everybody Wins!


The Way Social Security Works is: Young People Pay IN and Old People Take OUT... It Requires a Balance Between Young and Old... and the Baby Boom Generation in America DID NOT Have Enough Children... However, Foreigners Have Been Breeding Like CRAZY!



Trump's Failed Wall...
People Walk Around the End.


I wrote to my Representative in the US House Kevin Kiley and Said: Instead of wasting money building a wall... Let's EMPLOY Immigrants to do all those Jobs Americans Refuse... I Live at an Old Folks Home and ALL of our Care Givers are Immigrants... ALL of the Gardeners are Immigrants... This is an OBVIOUS SOLUTION! Why Not WAKE UP AND NOTICE REALITY? Sure... tRUMP Hates Mexicans and Blacks and Gays and Women but... His Ideas SUCK!

I Wonder: 

Does tRUMP's Mar-A-Loser Club Employ Illegal Aliens? Governor Ron Death Santa Wants to Know!


tRUMP has a Long History of Employing Illegal Aliens... They Work Cheaper and if They Complain, He Can Threaten to Deport 'em Right Back to the Third World Hellhole They Came From!

Trump's Wall Failed. How Can We Fix the Disaster He Left Us? The Children in Cages Are STILL THERE and More People Come into the USA Than EVER!

Family Separation and Detention...
https://www.americanbar.org/advocacy/governmental_legislative_work/priorities_policy/immigration/familyseparation/

In April 2018, Attorney General Sessions announced a “zero tolerance” policy under which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will refer all migrants who enter the U.S. without authorization to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal prosecution. This policy expands “Operation Streamline,” a program which began in 2005.

As a result of the zero tolerance policy, the government separated more than 2000 children from their parents at the border during the period of mid-April to June. Since children cannot be held in criminal detention, the children are designated as “unaccompanied alien children” and placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). ORR places the children in shelters until they are released to a family member, guardian, or foster family.

Family detention is not the answer to family separation. It's a failure and a disgrace. Asylum seekers are fleeing chilling violence and threats. They deserve help, not inhumane, sometimes terrifying treatment at family detention centers.

We DID NOT Have Trouble with Iran or North Korea When Obama Was President. Now, All of a Sudden, There are Atomic Disasters Looming Over Our Heads... Thanks to #IdiotBoyDonald...

I Read in the News That "Someone" Murdered Iran's Top Nuclear Engineer with a Remote Controlled Machine Gun. My First Thought Was: "Can I Have One?" What Type of Remote Did it Have? Gameboy? Joystick? You Know, A First Person "Shoot 'em Up Game Would Be EPIC Using Real Bullets! My Second Thought Was: Wonderful! One Less Nuclear Engineer! Let's Kill 'em ALL. Every Day They Make The World a Worse Place to Live! Extinction ROCKS!


We have withdrawn from the INF and Restarted a Nuclear Arms Race with Russia and Then One of Their Atomic Rockets Blew Up When They Were Testing It... When we HAD The INF Treaty Signed by President Ronald Reagan the Russians Were NOT Building Brand New NUKES! 

Then Trump Hired a Talking Head from Fox News to Lead the USA into War with Iran and Venezuela... Obama's NO NUKES Deal with Iran WORKED GREAT... We Did Not Need a War With Iran OR Venezuela... North Korea Keeps on Testing Rockets to be used to Deliver Atom Bombs but Trump Ignores the Problem Because Kim Writes Trump Lovely Love Letters... What a Freaking Loser... Trump Sounds Like a Battered Wife... Yes, Kim Beats Me, But Then He Says He loves Me, I Could Never Leave Him... What will it Take for Trump to Wake UP? North Korea Dropping an Atom Bomb on San Francisco? He Has The Technology! I guess Trump would Excuse Kim because San Francisco Voted for Hillary... 

If Trump Wins in 2020, Life in the USA Will Get Even Worse... any Crazy Idea He Sees on Fox News Will Instantly Become an Executive Order... In Effect, Crowning Rupert Murdoch KING... But Don't Worry About This... THE RAPTURE WILL SAVE US! Jesus is Coming and Atomic Weapons Will Have No Effect! 

I am actually In Favor of the Second Amendment. I can't tell you WHY because I don't want to attract the attention of the FBI.

 I have noticed that Supposed "GUN NUTS" are watched and their Social Media Posts are used as Evidence to arrest them. There was a Lady Recently in Colorado who they determined that she was 5150... a harm to self and others... because of something she wrote on Facebook. This was at the time of the Columbine Anniversary. The FBI READS THIS STUFF... So does the NSA and The CIA and the DIA and the EIEIO!

I will say that there may come a time that we really need a Militia... Suppose Trump loses the 2020 election and then REFUSES TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE? Just declare himself King... for life... and Junior would be Prince... in a situation like that, it might be very handy to own a gun... Maybe there will be a violent civil war. The Boogaloo... IT COULD HAPPEN. A Violet Overgrow... What if the USA became like Venezuela? or Africa? 

I do think we ought to outlaw assault rifles... We already outlawed Machine Guns, Hand Grenades and Bazookas... Once upon a time Assault Rifles were illegal and the Murder Rate in the USA went down. So we know what works... Obviously the NRA is an EVIL organization. They supposedly funneled Russian Money into Trump's Campaign. That's why Maria Butina was thrown in Prison. and Paul Erickson was arrested... 

I also oppose arming the Police with Army Surplus Weapons. Often the People who choose Lawn Forcement as a Career are of Below Average Intelligence. Really! Have you actually KNOWN any cops? They are some really strange people. For one thing, they choose to put people in cages... and they choose to enforce ALL THE LAWS even when the laws are Obviously Wrong! You always see Pigs enforcing the Law against Protest Marches... Like During the Vietnam War, millions of people protested and sometimes the Police BEAT UP the Protesters. Obviously the Protesters were RIGHT and the Pigs were WRONG... Sometimes the National Guard battled the Protesters and Four were Killed at Kent State University in Ohio. How do those people feel now that almost everyone has WOKEN UP to the fact that the Vietnam War Was INSANE!

You don't read like a gun nut *at all*, Greg, although I wouldn't mention the words President and gun in the same sentence.
Guys that shoot Lapua 338 magnums, or 50 caliber BMG cartridge scare me. These are anti-materiel weapons against civil infrastructure or long-range sniper rifles that can kill at half a mile.
Deer hunting is different in the oak savannas of California: you need a longer range gun than on old 30-30 brush rifle, but nobody needs anything bigger than a 30-06.



@seachanged I Oppose Guns and Think They Should All Be Melted... HOWEVER... There May Come A Time When Dictatorship or Monarchy Happens in the USA... I personally DO NOT OWN ANY GUNS... I am Not Afraid of "The Man" Arresting Me For What I Say Online... I am Ready to Go to Prison for FREEDOM OF SPEECH.



Totally agree with your blog post, except for President thing.
I have .. six guns, I guess. I have to count them each time I tell anyone.
When the !@#$% deer are in the yard, I get the 30-30, sneak up on them, check downrange, and pull the trigger: CLICK! (no bullet), to see how I feel about it. Slaughter/butcher is a fuckload of work, but haven't had any good venison in .. years.
Got a pig once that couldn't be eaten: blue fat, from squirrel bait. All wasted work )-:

@seachanged Call me lazy but I get my meat at the Grocery Store... Since I Live in Eureka, There are many Hunters at work... Many Big Truck OFF Road Guys too... It's an Interesting Town with Three Very Different Social Groups. Loggers, Hippies and Indians. The YUROK Tribe is a Major Power Here. HOOPA Too.


seachanged I don't believe that private ownership of guns will help us during a constitutional collapse. In that situation, I think it's far more likely that citizen will turn on fellow citizen, and it won't be the Democrats and liberals who attack and murder the Republicans and fascists.
I'm glad to be in California, that way.

I'd eat a lot less meat if I had to slaughter and butcher it myself, especially big animals. Grandparents lived on a farm, so I've done a lot of that.

@seachanged I do not plan to own any guns, ever... I hope The Boogaloo does not happen but... I plan to remain in rural Humboldt County... safe and minding my own business...



Yes, not having a gun in the household makes it safer against gun violence (probably because over half of gun deaths are suicides).
Funny you use the word Boogaloo, though. That's apparently (I had to look it up) a euphemism for civil war adopted by the far right, but your politics seem to be refreshingly far left. Where did you first hear that word? Friends? NPR?
None of my guns are for "protection" against "enemies".
@seachanged I am trying to PREVENT The Boogaloo... The entire idea of Massive Civil War Lead by TrumpNiks and Tea Party Frightens me... However, I Do Support the Violet Overgrow.

@Emilyhelmut I Live in Eureka, California near the Oregon Border on the North Coast of California... On the Edge of the Redwood Forest...

Hands Off Venezuela - People inside Embassy Arrested - They were Supporters of President Nicolás Maduro. Code Pink - Embassy Protection - People Delivering Food arrested by Secret Service...

and on 5/16/2019... Police forcibly remove activists living in the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington. Federal law enforcement officers entered the embassy about 9 a.m. at the behest of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó to remove and arrest the final four demonstrators inside, ending a weeks-long standoff between protesters on opposite sides of the South American country’s political crisis.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/police-forcibly-remove-activists-living-in-the-venezuelan-embassy-in-washington/2019/05/16/80d464be-77cf-11e9-b3f5-5673edf2d127_story.html

This raises questions... What if some Foreign country arrested Americans inside an American Embassy? For Example: What If The Country of East OOGA-BOOGA decided to Arrest Americans? Well, the USA did it! We Arrested Venezuelans inside the Venezuelan Embassy... 

~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~

Venezuelan Embassy goes dark as standoff intensifies on streets of Washington. 

The sun had just dipped below the horizon Wednesday evening when the lights flicked off inside the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington.
Waves of cheers rolled up and down the ordinarily sleepy Georgetown street that has become ground zero in an intensifying standoff between backers of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó and left-wing activists who support President Nicolás Maduro.
With no electricity, activists who have been living inside the building are adjusting to the latest obstacle in their month-long occupation of the embassy.
Getting food inside has been one of the biggest challenges for the past 10 days, with anti-Maduro protesters and Secret Service barricades blocking most of the doors. Then Thursday, activists announced they will be cutting back on their primary source of communication with the outside world: social media. With no power to charge their devices, there will be less tweeting and fewer video streams.

Organizers with Code Pink, a left-wing organization known for its theatrical and provocative protests, said the utility bills had been paid in full by the Maduro-led Venezuelan government.
But Pepco, the building’s electricity provider, told activists the U.S.-backed opposition government had ordered the power be shut off, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin said.
“The owner of the building told them to turn off the electricity and then we were told that they say the owner of the building is Carlos Vecchio,” Benjamin said, referring to the Guaidó-appointed U.S. ambassador. “It is the government of Maduro that has been paying all the bills all along for this building, including the Pepco bill, which is up to date.”

He's a Classic Example of "Rich Man's Law"... Investigated during Iran/Contra Hearings and then Convicted... Then His Conviction was Overturned on Appeal... OBVIOUSLY, he was Guilty of Funding an Illegal War in Nicaragua for Ronald Reagan and then Selling Weapons to Terrorists but... Never Served Time...

State Department: US trying to remove protesters from Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC... Part of the Failed Pompeo/Bolton Coup...

 The move to evict the protesters from the embassy came after a group of US anti-war activists began moving into the embassy last month. Medea Benjamin, one of the founders of the anti-war group Code Pink, previously told CNN that diplomats from the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had given them access to the embassy before the diplomats left as the standoff unfolded between Maduro and Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim President Juan Guaido.
