Trump

I was just talking to a hard-core conservative about the election. I'm of the "send all the illegal aliens back to where they belong." He said, basically, "We need them to pick our fruit, man the construction jobs, etc."

It's the same thing I heard from a creepy liberal yute who was part of that roundtable scattershot debate that a bunch of college yutes had with Ben Shapiro a while back. It was the same sentiment: We need these people to do our jobs.

I get the definite impression that they are looked upon by all sides as some kind of necessary underclass. How interesting.

I don't deny for a moment that many of these illegal aliens are hard working. And, push come to shove, I would gladly trade 2 million of these hard-workers if we could also send to Cuba the same amount of liberal yutes who aren't working and are playing video games in their mother's basement at the age of 30.

But that's not likely to happen. So there seems to be a general acceptance of the illegal aliens as an Eloi-like underclass. They will do the jobs we can't be bothered to do. I'm sure the Trump administration will send back some of the criminals...that is to say, the criminals whose crimes are worse than jumping the border. But I really don't expect much more. We'll see.

Holy shit. You knocked that one out of the park. You could work that up into an article for American Thinker. Most people don't have the stones (hey hey) to tell it like it is.

He really surprised me because he very much is a NASCAR-ish type of person. He's involved in racing. He sells racing products to race teams and drivers. I've known him for 30 years as a client, although we don't tend talk much about politics. But when he has done so (he's a roving soliloquy...there's not much getting a word in edgewise), it's been pretty right-wing stuff.

I can only guess what might be going on:

1) He employs illegal aliens.
2) He's picked up Progressivism like second-hand smoke from the racing industry which has for decades now been entirely corporate with about zero good-old-boy. Richard Petty was a good old boy. None of the racers (that I'm aware of) are. They are simulacrums of the corporate world.
3) He's morphed his beliefs to please his wife.
4) He's doing well and doesn't have to care.

Like I said, I really don't know. But I suspect it is one or more of these.

I've been listing to Amazon Music lately (the "free" part that comes with an Amazon Prime account). It's limited. You don't get on-demand playing of anything...sort of. You can choose an album to play and it will play random tracks from it as part of a "shuffle play" of similar music mixed in. They obviously want to you pay that extra $12.00 a month to get on-demand everything.

So you end up listening to basically their playlists built around certain themes. One that I like is "classic crooners," or whatever they call it. And, indeed, I've heard some music I wouldn't have otherwise, including a beautiful song yesterday by someone I'd never heard of: Melody Gardot.

But interspersed here and there on this playlist have been songs by Jimmy Durante. I mean, that's about as old-school as you can get.

However, regarding my "conservative" client, it just occurred to me what the real reason is for an illegal-alien-friendly attitude. If memory serves (and I've only met her once), his second wife that he's currently married to is from Guatemala...or is some south-of-the-border ethnicity.

Once again, she proves herself to be the redoubtable Mdm. Flu.

A funny exchange at the bottom of Fil's latest video:

That is a very smart way to play it.

He is certainly setting the cat amongst the pigeons.

As one commenter said about Trump's lineup of strong women:



I can't top that.

The top of my list is Fauci.
