Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

The Answer Is Yes


The question:  Is Dinky Digits Don ignorant, or lying, or merely regurgitating what Steve Doocy said on Fox & Friends?

Yes.  All of the above.

Our Cartoon President is once more dispensing peevish anti-immigrant provocations.  His execrable base is reportedly pissed off about the lack of funding for a "big, beautiful wall" in his budget (Mexico is not paying), so Trumpistopheles is throwing them some red hate-meat by bashing DACA.  The fact that he's utterly full of shit doesn't seem to bother them or the Banana Republicans in Congress.

  • Democrats didn't end DACA protections, Trump did with his executive order.  And if he really cared about those 800,000 kids, he could reinstate the program as easily as he scuttled it -- with the chipmunk-on-crack stroke of his tiny pen.  
  • "Caravans" in Mexico are not bum-rushing the border to invade the U.S.  It's an annual Easter-time psuedo-religious protest of the plight of Central American refugees/migrants.  It's been happening for the past 5 years.  They are not trying to enter the U.S. illegally.
  • Even if they did manage to sneak into the U.S., they couldn't possibly "take advantage of DACA."  They'd be ineligible, late by a good 11 years.  (Those proteced by DACA had to have lived here continuously since 2007 and arrived prior to age 16.)


Stay strong, friends, and do not lose your sense of outrage at the daily degradations dealt us us by Donnie Dipstick, fraud president.
